Afghanistan: Taliban gunmen murder seven anti-Taliban Muslim clerics

May 13, 2015 11:39 pm By Robert Spencer

Taliban8These clerics provoked them, you see. They were needlessly provocative. They should have just gone along with what the Taliban wanted. Didn’t they realize that they were offending the Taliban? How offensive!

“Gunmen kill seven in attack on Muslim council in Afghan south: police,” Reuters, May 13, 2015:

LASHKAR GAH, Afghanistan (Reuters) – Gunmen opened fire on a gathering of Afghan Muslim clerics in the southern province of Helmand, killing seven people, police said on Wednesday.

The Ulemma Council, the highest religious authority in a deeply conservative country, came under attack after it had repeatedly announced its support for security forces fighting the hard-line Islamist Taliban insurgents.

“The meeting was ongoing when two Taliban gunmen attacked the gathering,” police official Jan Aqa said.

Four civilians and three police were killed and seven people wounded in the attack in Lashkar Gah, the provincial capital….

    “More-Islamic-than-thou” is the deadliest and favorite game in the Muslim world.

    That’s why fanatics are more likely to win than not. Whoever wants to win, at first PRETENDS to be a pious Muslim, then, they drop the mask and become like Kaddafi or Saddam Hussein.

    They all behave like Mohammed…insane, rage-filled, self-righteous, irrational, paranoid, murderous. Normative Islam.

      and they say
      “Indeed, he is mad””,
      “Surely he is possessed!”,
      “He is certainly insane”,
      “Verily, he (Muhammad SAW) is a madman!”,
      ‘Surely he is a man possessed!’

      Indeed. Which is why islamic countries are always behind, and always will be, which is why they are jealous as hell of the West, of Israel, of anyone whose civilization has actually BUILT something instead of destroying it. They know even too well that, because of islam, they will never be able to prosper and progress, but because of islam, they will always think they’re right and therefore others must be the problem, so instead of producing something positive, they’d rather destroy what other people build, kill them, silence them, oppress them, in the vain hope that the contrast between civilization and their incredible retardment will be less sharp.

        You got it in one!..Sort of reminds me of children who would rather destroy a toy than share it. Much more deadly of course with young adults of low educational standard but toting AK47 (knockoffs)

    And such is the fate of the muslims who, as Ben Affleck would put it, just want to have a sandwich (as long as it’s not pork).

    Just kidding. Those were muslim clerics – I seriously doubt they don’t know what’s in the quran, ahadith and sunnah.

    ‘The Ulemma Council, the highest religious authority in a deeply conservative country, came under attack after it had repeatedly announced its support for security forces fighting the hard-line Islamist Taliban insurgents.”

    mohammedans always turn and rend each other, if there aren’t enough non-muslims to go around. Good.
