Piety enforced with a bullet inside the empire of fear.

Taliban-Afghanistan

“Taliban shot 6 civilians for breaking Ramadan fast in Herat,” Khaama Press, June 19, 2016:

The Taliban militants shot at least 6 civilians after accusing them of breaking Ramadan fast in western Herat province of Afghanistan.

According to the local officials, the incident took place in Obe district after the Taliban militants initially opened fire on residents of Tagab Yari area.

District police chief Sher Aqa Alokozai said he is aware of reports regarding an attack by the Taliban militants on civilians over alleged breaking of Ramadan fast.

He said the Taliban militants first shot two civilians and then opened fire on four others accusing of them supporting the two individuals who had broken Ramadan fast.

According to the eyewitnesses in the area, the local residents started clash with the Taliban insurgents after they shot 6 civilians….

    The Taliban gets It’s orders from the Pakistani Secret Police, which is infiltrated by Communist Chinese agents.

    The Cold War never went away………..

    Muhammad orders people burned up in their houses, for not coming to prayer

    In Sahih al-Bukhari, the most canonical hadith collection:

    LINK: Volume 1, Book 11, Number 626:

    Narrated Abu Huraira:
    The Prophet said, “No prayer is harder for the hypocrites than the Fajr [pre-dawn] and the ‘Isha’ [evening] prayers and if they knew the reward for these prayers at their respective times, they would certainly present themselves (in the mosques) even if they had to crawl.” The Prophet added, “Certainly I decided to order the Mu’adh-dhin (call-maker) to pronounce Iqama [second call to prayer] and order a man to lead the prayer and then take a fire flame to burn all those who had not left their houses so far for the prayer along with their houses.”

    Volume 1, Book 11, Number 617:

    Narrated Abu Huraira:

    Allah’s Apostle said,“By Him in Whose Hand my soul is I was about to order for collecting fire-wood (fuel) and then order someone to pronounce the Adhan [summons] for the prayer and then order someone to lead the prayer then I would go from behind and burn the houses of men who did not present themselves for the (compulsory congregational) prayer. By Him, in Whose Hands my soul is, if anyone of them had known that he would get a bone covered with good meat or two (small) pieces of meat present in between two ribs, he would have turned up for the ‘Isha’ prayer.’[fifth of the five daily prayers]

    Even the idea of having worthwhile, constructive “negotiations” with the Taliban is sheer folly. For the deceptive and disingenuous Taliban have proven many times over, by their own actions, that they are a ruthless, brutal vicious gang of thugs with no honor. So in any kind of “dialogue” the Taliban will speak the truth only when it happened to suite them. The rest of the time they will be speaking half-truths and also be outright lying. Likewise, the Taliban will keep their word in anything that they may happen to promise only and long as in fits into their agenda and no longer. So before engaging of the foolishness of attempting to have genuine “talks for a peace alliance” with Taliban, the officials of the current government would do well to heed the wisdom of Sun Tzu found in THE ART OF WAR. For it instructs “We cannot enter into an alliance neighboring’s princes, until we are acquainted with their designs.” To put this in a more updated and current way, it may be said that “We cannot enter into a peace alliance with the Taliban until we know the actual intentions and real schemes.”

    These whitened sepulchres dispensing piety down the barrel of a gun. Rotten to the core.
    But I most say, the last line of the segment seems encouraging –

    “According to the eyewitnesses in the area, the local residents started clash with the Taliban insurgents after they shot 6 civilians.”

    You know the ring of gunk you find around the drain when it needs to be cleaned? Turns out that gunk is much worthier of existence than is the Taliban.

    I am sure this has nothing to do with Islam.

    It surely must be obvious: They just wanted to protect their fellows from obesity. There you are, a simple explanation.

    Religious tribal fascism to the nth degree…this really is cult behavior. Horrifying that people actually believe that are morally justified, if not obligated, to kill someone for eating food at the wrong time. How can this culture ever integrate peacefully in western society?

    No surprise that Omar Mateen was steeped in Afghani Islam.

      Puts one in mind of Churchill’s famous comment about Germans during the war “the more Germans who kill each other the better”

      (He had been asked to try to save Germans who tried to kill Hitler and had been sentenced to death)

    People should eat during day light hours…lol unless your an eskimo.

      Good point, SBJ. Ramadan in Lapland can be a, well, a 24 hour daylight nightmare, I guess. Better send the Taliban to Lapland for Ramadan.

    Breaking fast is a crime in muslim lands. Not here in Europe.
    Dehydrating muslims call for the doctor and the fools obediently go and put them on IV. Isn’t that breaking their fast? Going against their religion.? ‘Brave ‘ oh so merciful western docs daring to do such against allah?
    Oh of course, muslims would sue them otherwise.They want their pagan cult all ways and they get it.
    Ban ramadam in the West!

    Ramadan greetings to my Muslim friends.
    I am having such a wonderful — breakfast (break fast).

    All I can say to Muslims is Yum, Yum, Yum.
    This truly delicious.
    Two eggs flipped over easy just right with fried potatoes, fried onions with a hint of thin sliced garlic. — Oooooh — so, so good!

      This so-called “fast” starts with breakfast before sunrise, putting an additional load upon the women to rise in the early hours and prepare it. It is not a fast in the normal sense and typically ends with a feast after sundown.

      I thought the attempt to show food to Muslim “fasters” was amusing but would have no effect unless it included bacon. They have already had breakfast hours before the infidels start thinking about it.

      The Islam version of a fast is a joke compared to 24+ hr Christian fasts. Many Muslims actually gain weight during Ramadan.

      You missed the bacon Jay Boo and we all know Muslims love bacon ! ( our local butcher has to warn ‘ refugees’ not to buy it, but they disregard him)
