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

Taliban at gates of Kabul as their jihad-martyrdom suicide bombers launch new wave of attacks in Afghan capital

Jan 5, 2016 3:54 pm By Robert Spencer

The U.S. war in Afghanistan is a massive war for nothing, a gilded monument of pointlessness, a testament to the damage that can be and is done by the willful ignorance in Washington regarding Islam, jihad and Sharia, a crying, hopeless waste.

“Taliban are at the gates of Kabul as their suicide bombers launch latest in wave of attacks in the Afghan capital,” by Tom Wyke, MailOnline, January 4, 2016:

The Taliban carried out a truck bomb attack on a compound for civilian contractors near Kabul airport today, just hours after a lone suicide bomber detonated his explosives vest as the latest in a series of attacks in the Afghan capital over the past week.

At least 30 Afghan civilians, including nine children, were wounded in the attack on Camp Baron, a heavily protected residential compound for civilian technical contractors close to the city’s main airport, a health ministry official said.

A police official said a truck packed with explosives drove up to the armoured gates of the complex before being detonated, smashing windows and sending glass flying and badly damaging nearby houses.

The Taliban later claimed responsibility for the attack which targeted the heavily walled compound in a bid to cause further terror in the city.

The official said there did not appear to be any casualties inside the compound and there were no immediate details on whether anyone had been killed. A police officer on the scene said he had seen at least three dead bodies.

Medical aid group Emergency, which runs a hospital in Kabul, said it was receiving wounded at its surgical centre.

A spokesman for the Taliban, which has often issued exaggerated casualty figures, said dozens of foreigners had been killed or wounded.

The Taliban, which has stepped up its insurgency since foreign forces ended combat operations last year has claimed a series of attacks on foreign targets in and around Kabul although most casualties have been Afghan civilians….

    On paper, the US military capabilities have no limits. Read about their fighters, helicopters, tanks, missiles, drones, intelligence and budget… everything looks awesome. However, all this military might doesn’t seem to be a match to poorly trained and poorly equipped fighters like those of ISIS or Taliban.

    It puzzles me.

      Well, think of the US Military like this:

      MIKE TYSON IN HIS PRIME = US Military
      his opponent
      CLOCK BOY Ahmed Mohamed = Taliban

      Now, Mike Tyson is blindfolded so he can’t see what Clock Boy’s strategy is. Mike Tyson’s ears are plugged so he can’t hear what Clock Boy is doing. And Mike Tyson’s mouth is taped shut so he can’t say anything to his opponent (which might help him to fight). Then Mike Tyson’s leading arm is strapped behind his back. And his other arm’s upper is tied to his side so he can only stick his only available punching arm out with a bent elbow. His feet are tied together in the name of “cultural sensitivity”. And then the ref, Barack Obama, turns a blind eye to every cheap shot and low blow that Clock Boy throws — and if Clock Boy uses a crow bar, well that’s ignored.

      And there you have it. That’s how the Taliban and ISIS can beat the US Military.

      You can thank Obama’s rules of engagement for that:

      We must leave Afghanistan as it will become dominated by the Taliban soon. The reason is that a large percentage of the Afghan population wants to be ruled by 7th century sharia law, and they are willing to kill a lot of people to make that happen. We can’t kill all of the Taliban as that would turn Muslims everywhere against us. Pull out now and let the Taliban take over.

    Such Islamic evil and madness of jihad suicide/homicide bombings attacks is for, the most part, the outcome of the extreme brainwashing that is done by the Muslim clerics, such as the imams and mullahs ,in Islamic mind programming centers which are better known a mosque and madrasas. In those Islamic mind programming places young men are thoroughly indoctrinated into believing in the Islamic doctrine from the Koran, as found in 44:54. 55:56. 78:31., of sexual/lustful paradise with many virgins, houris in it for the Muslim male who dies fighting for the cause of Islam in the jihad as “martyr.” Of such Koranic indoctrination centers some things should be make clear. First, those who comes out of those places are so very warped,sick minded and deluded, as in far from reality, that they actually view such murderous bombing attacks as “martyrdom operations.” Likewise , those who come out of those same centers are so very damaged that they are literally dangerous to self and others. Second, the Bible does warns against false teachers who ingrain such a a story/doctrine of a belief as in a lust-filled/lustful paradise of the flesh with virgins into hearts and minds of others. For the Bible in Second Peter 2:18 reads “For they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lust of the flesh…” In addition, many a times and jihad-minded Muslim in his death recording talks about “the wedding with the virgins.” that he will have after he becomes a “martyr.” Such a belief Jesus would denounce as being based on false doctrine. For Jesus taught “Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures ,nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, or are given in marriage, but are as the angles in heaven.” Matthew 22:29,30. As for the jihadist in his deluded Islamic pipe-dream of a Koranic of a story/doctrine of a place with virgins, Such a person is in strong contrast tot the Christian who has the reality of Second Peter 2:18. Which reads “For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ…” [K.J.V.]

    As for the Muslim clerics who brainwash and mind condition other people into believing in the story of a doctrine from the Koran ,44:54. 55:56. 78:31.,of a sex-filled paradise with virgins . Such clerics are false teachers and the Bible warns against listening to and believing in unfounded religious stories No matter how enticing those stories may be. For the Bible warns against giving “heed to fables…” First Timothy 1:4. Moreover, as for obtaining any kind of paradise with or without virgins, by a suicide/homicide attack is folly to the extreme For the Bible teaches that a murderer “shall not inherit the kingdom of God, Galatians 5:21. So engaging in such a bombing attack, in reality, is a sure way to hell. In addition, If these imams and mullahs actually believe that committing such a bombing attack is such a grand and woeful thing to do really then they should strap bomb vests on themselves and then go out and blow themselves up. That those same Muslim clerics never ,ever , do only exposes what insincere,insidious, manipulative cowards and villains they really are

    Afghans are among the most brainwashed Muslims on earth…their love of Sharia is an invitation for the Taliban to come back and destroy women’s rights, democracy, infrastructure and any advances that have occurred recently.

    Deprogramming the Afghans out of Islam should be a priority of all governments.

    The Taliban, Pakistanies, and Osama shut down the poppy plant and the drug dealing criminals in Government, the EU medical, the AMA, and big Farm sent our young troops to die to get it going bigger then ever. Set up a President from biggest drug smuggling tribe there and enslaved the people under sharia constitution. Another opium war as the oil war in Iraq. The “war” there is lost as our leaders bowing their knee to the false prophet of Mecca have no desire to win the hearts and minds of the people to the liberty and life of the most high living God. Only in the gain of the root of all evil.

    Afghanistan has always been a sea of shifting political alliances and the current situation is no exception. If the Taliban retake power then a total embargo will be necessary along with selective strikes.

    Af-pak region’s destiny is to one day again enter the Dharmic fold: Saffronization is the only solution.

    Towards the Akhand Bharat of our noble Rishi Munis…No greater force for civilizing human beings exists than Sanskritization. Mother tongues and all ethnic groups/castes/races/tribes must be protected and given full opportunity for advancement – i .e. actual education (free of charge) not brainwashing.

    Governments that commit acts of terror against citizens and/or engage in unjust wars will be dissolved one fine day. In the not too distant future the Dharmic world (Jain, Vedics,Zoroasterians, Buddhists&Sikhs,will be FIT. (crime-free South Asia)

    Saffronization now!
