The Obama White House continues to pretend that the Taliban can and should be a “peace partner” and enter into negotiations to form the next government in Afghanistan. They will probably form the next government in Afghanistan, all right, and continue their jihad against the U.S. and the free world.
“Dozens killed in Kabul as Taliban attack,” by Michael Pearson, Masoud Popalzai and Zahra Ullah, CNN, April 19, 2016:
(CNN)An explosion rocked the Afghan capital of Kabul on Tuesday morning — the apparent work of Taliban militants targeting a security team that protects government VIPs, a police official told CNN.
Kabul’s police chief said at least 28 people died. More than 300 were wounded, according to authorities.
Despite the target, most of the victims were civilians — including women and children, Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqi said.
A suicide bomber detonated a vehicle filled with explosives in a private parking lot behind the compound, destroying the back wall of a building, according to Sediqi. A second attacker then entered the building. That attacker died in a gunbattle with security forces less than two hours later, Sediqi said.
The Afghan Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.
“First a suicide bomber blew up his explosives-laden lorry on the gate of the department and then other armed attackers went in and started shooting on the rest of the enemies,” the statement said.
Witnesses said they continued to hear gunfire after the explosion, which occurred in a busy part of Kabul near the Afghan Defense Ministry and presidential palace….

Now might be a good time for Obama to take a cross-country sight-seeing tour of Afghanistan to prove that Islam really does mean peace.

I wonder if we can crowd-fund that? 🙂 😀

How strange for the talibonkers to designate an “enemy” in their rhetoric of hate …uh hum I mean statement. I was told that they are peaceful….oh yeah…I just remembered that I will usually believe the opposite of whatever Hussein and his local caliphate say. Truly the enemy from within and I have no idea how people can’t see it or refuse to see it.

This heinous jihad Taliban suicide /homicide bombings in Kabul,Afghanistan the murder at least 28 people and wounded many more raises the question is as to why are the jihadist bombers are , so very, delusional that they actually want to become human bombs ? Some of the reasons are that such violent and deadly people are the outcome of the extreme brainwashing that is done in Islamic mind programming centers which are more widely known as mosques and madrasas, by the Muslim clerics, such as the imams and in some countries as Afghanistan and Iran also the mullahs. In those Islamic mind programming centers youth are thoroughly indoctrinated into believing in the Islamic doctrine from the Koran. as found in 44;54. 55:56. 78:31.., of a sexual/lust filled paradise with many virgins, houris, in it for the Muslim male who dies fighting for the cause of Islam in the jihad. First and foremost, those who come out of those places of extreme brainwash are so very warped, sick and deluded that they actually view such murderous bombing attacks as “martyrdom operations” Likewise, they are so very damaged that they have literally become dangerous to self and others. In addition, the Bible does warn about false teachers who ingrain a belief in a doctrine of a story of a /lustful/lust-filled place with much sex in it. For the Bible warns about false teachers, the Muslim clerics do fit this description, in Second Peter 2:18. Which reads “For they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh…” Furthermore, many a times a 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 and false teaching. For Jesus taught “Ye do err, not knowing the scripture, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angles in heaven.” Mathew 22:29, 30. In contrast to the delusional Islamic pipe-dream of the jihadist in the Koranic story/doctrine of a place with virgins, Christians have the reality of Second Peter 1:16. 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.]
Halaku says
The Afghan Taliban striking at will in Kabul, with its explosives supply centres and training bases, safe across the border in Pakistan. Tens of billions of American tax payer’s dollars handed over to Pakistan being put to use by the Pakistani army for the reconquest of Afghanistan through its proxy, the fundamentalist Afghan Taliban.

Those vicious and murderous Taliban jihad attacks in Kabul ,Afghanistan which killed at least 28 people and injured some 327 people does,indeed, raise an important question: “Is the Quran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax ?” The jihadists use many verses from the Quran as the main source of justification for their violence, mayhem and murders. As found in For example, 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. There, the question is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Quran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Quran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran. Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” Nevertheless, in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.” In conclusion, the Quran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.

The jihadist Taliban who was a jihad suicide/homicide bomber in Kabul, Afghanistan was as deluded as he was dangerous. in that he was so extremely delusional the he actually believed by engaging in that murderous action he would then obtain for himself a paradise. In the actual truth is that he after he died he had a very harsh reality check. For instead n finding himself in a paradise ,with or with out virgins, he to his horror ,found himself trapped and suffering in the fire of hell. For the Bible teaches that a murderer “shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:21. As for the story of a doctrine from the Koran,as found in 44:54. 55:56. 78:31. of a sexual./ list-filled praise with many virgins, houris, in it for the Muslim male who dies fighting in the jihad for the cause of Islam,9:111. The Bible warns against listening to and believing in unproven and invalid religious stories. No matter how enticing those religious stories may be. For the Bible warns against giving “heed to fables…” First Timothy 1:4. In addition, The Bible had also predicted the coming of such false teachers, as the imams, of false religion who would teach [indoctrinated] into thoughts of others a story /doctrine of a lust-filled/ lust-filled place with many houris in the for specific men . For the Bible reads “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears for the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” Second Timothy 4:3,4. [K.J.V.]

“A suicide bomber detonated a vehicle filled with explosives in a private parking lot behind the compound, destroying the back wall of a building, according to Sediqi. A second attacker then entered the building. That attacker died in a gunbattle with security forces less than two hours later, Sediqi said.”
Obvious security concerns:
1. Ease of access to back wall of compound.
2. Lack of armed security presence near and atop compound buildings.
3. Two-hour battle with one attacker inside building.
4. Failure to recognize high-value-target status of VIP security.
5. Absence of Afghan anti-Taliban offensive despite U. S. funding for Afghanistan.
In short, indefensible security failures . . .

In short – incompetence.
Cecilia Ellis says
Exactly!
billybob says
I don’t suppose it ever occurred to anyone to launch a sustained Madison Avenue type campaign to establish a meme in Afghanistan that the goals and ideals of the Taliban are immoral? Would that be too creative?
Cecilia Ellis says
Billybob, your idea has merit. The U. S. Military Academy (West Point) has done exactly this with ISIS, as addressed in an article found at the following website:
http://adage.com/article/news/college-students-buzzfeed-enlisted-messaging-fight-isis/301355/
Admittedly, I am unsure of how one might measure the success of such a program . . .
billybob says
Thank you so much for that reference. I read it with great interest.
“Advertising works” any advertizing executive will tell you, but don’t take his word for it. Take the word of those who pay for it. “Advertisers Will Spend Nearly $600 Billion Worldwide in 2015” an instant Google search informed me. At a dollar a vote, that is 600 Billion votes that advertising is worthwhile.
I propose not limiting it to simply countering ISIS. My suggestion is no less than countering Islam itself. Really, it should be a soft target. Think about it. Muslims are taught to swallow it whole, without critical thought. I propose we teach them to think critically, like with little teaser ads… “How can you tell a good person from a bad person?” A good person is kind to you. A bad person kills…” I don’t know – I am not an advertising executive, but when I formulate my views of the world, I employ some common sense. When I decide who I want to associate with, I employ some common sense. Like – I stay away from people who use drugs. That is just one little example. So there is endless “common sense” rules that the wise employ in their day to day life. Teach Muslims to employ such thought. Teach them to question things – like the morality of Muhammad… without necessarily naming him… Of course you get what I am saying. Spend a few billion on this endeavour! In my comment above, I talk about “establishing memes”. We can do it!

Most Afghans are adamant supporters of strict Sharia. There’s little difference between the Talibans and most Afghans.

Taliban, ISIS, Hamas et al. All evil and uncaring. Afghanistan and Pakistan are reaping what they sow. Very sad that innocent kids get killed.
