Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

New Taliban top dog vows to “carry on jihad until we establish the Islamic state”: “Whatever happens must comply with Sharia”

Aug 1, 2015 11:30 am By Robert Spencer

Mullah Akhtar MansoorNot that this has anything to do with Islam, as Western non-Muslim politicians would say. They persist in pushing these fantasies on their people, thereby endangering them by rendering them ignorant of and complacent about the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat.

“New Afghan Taliban leader promises to continue insurgency,” by Rahim Faiez, Associated Press, August 1, 2015:

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The new leader of the Afghan Taliban vowed to continue his group’s bloody, nearly 14-year insurgency in an audio message released Saturday, urging his fighters to remain unified after the death of their longtime leader.

The audio message purportedly from Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansoor also included comments about the Taliban’s nascent peace talks with the Afghan government, though it wasn’t immediately clear whether he supported them or not.

Mansoor took over the Taliban after the group on Thursday confirmed that former leader Mullah Mohammad Omar had died and said they elected Mansoor as his successor. The Afghan government announced Wednesday that the reclusive mullah had been dead since April 2013; the Taliban has remained vague on exactly when Mullah Omar died.

“We should keep our unity, we must be united, our enemy will be happy in our separation,” Mansoor purportedly said in the message. “This is a big responsibility for us. This is not the work of one, two or three people. This is all our responsibility to carry on jihad until we establish the Islamic state.”…

“We have to continue our jihad, we shouldn’t be suspicious of each other. We should accept each other. Whatever happens must comply with Sharia law, whether that be jihad, or talks, or an invitation to either. Our decisions all must be based on Sharia law,” he said.

He said the aim of the movement remained the establishment of an Islamic state in Afghanistan. “The jihad will continue until we establish the Islamic government in our country,” he said….

    It’s a sorry shame that in the future the people of Afghanistan might have to live in an Islamic state .Let’s pray hope and pray doesn’t’ happen. For an Islam state ,among other things is based on sharia law with this the foundation for an Islamic tyranny. Which is very cruel and oppressive. One of the many things that the people of Afghanistan . need is an good education. For a narrow, limited , restricted worldview that many of then now have is not good. This is a reminder of the wisdom of Thomas Jefferson..For Mr. Jefferson taught “Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppression of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.”

      Much as I dislike and distrust Islamism and stuff there is a point of nonsense here. We don’t want this shit in the West, but its been in Central Asia/Afghanistan etc. since forever. This is Islam’s home turf. Sharia has been in operation in Afghanistan for a historical time period. For Afghan the Taliban are the best of the worst. The West gleefully supported, armed and trained them against the Soviets in the 79-89 war. So lets not get carried away here. While I would gladly see every last Moslem immigrant deported from Europe, in the ME and Central Asia they are on home territory. What we need to do is make sure they stay there…
      So ala Katie Hopkins,if this means sinking boatloads of migrants many of whom could be Jihadists/ISIS etc. before they get to Europe so be it. If we can stop them in Africa/Turkey so be it. But the Turks want Islam in Europe. And Africans will come here in 1000s. So sink them before they get here. Make the Med their graveyard. Then we can leave them to their own internecine murderous devices in the ME/CA.

    But wait! I thought that Afghanistan has already sharia implemented. Didn’t they state so in their constitution, approved under Bush? Or, how much sharia is enough for them? I wonder if the I.S. feels similarly: although we have sharia already but we’ll still must implement MORE sharia!

    “We have to continue our jihad, we shouldn’t be suspicious of each other. We should accept each other.

    Like that Bergdahl guy, right?

    Establish an Islamic state, because the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan is just not medieval and sharia enough for them.
