Afghanistan: Islamic State murders 80 with jihad bombings in Kabul

Jul 23, 2016 5:46 pm By Robert Spencer

John Kerry will take this as another sign that the Islamic State is losing. By that reasoning, maybe they need to win for awhile, so that the world can have some peace.

AFGHANISTAN-UNREST-MINORITIES-PROTEST

“Deadly Blasts Kill 80 Protesters In Kabul,” Sky News, July 23, 2016:

At least 80 people have been killed in two suicide bombings at a march in the Afghan capital Kabul, officials say.

More than 230 people have been injured in the attack, according to the interior ministry, and are being taken to Istiqlal hospital.

Witnesses said the blasts happened where hundreds of Afghanistan’s Hazara minority had gathered to protest over the route of a planned multi-million dollar power line.

They were demanding a major electric transmission line pass through their impoverished areas, an option the government says would cost millions and delay the badly needed project by years.

One of the march organisers, Laila Mohammadi, said she arrived at the scene soon after the blast and saw “many dead and wounded people”.

Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Violence had been feared at what was the second march over the power line issue.

The demonstrators had been shouting “death to discrimination” and “all Afghans are equal”….

      The “Hazara minority” are Persian Shia; apostates in the eyes of ISIS Sunnis.

      That’s all the excuse they needed when the demonstration to bring electric power to the Hazara caused the assembly of so many Shia in one place.

      Such a peaceful religion, always looking out for the “brothers” – through a gun sight, or, getting close and personal – with a bomb vest.

        The Hazaras are of Mongoloid stock. Descendants Mongol hordes of of Chengiz Khan, according to some historians.

        I stand corrected. I foolishly accepted the account of a published liberal news source about the Persian descent. Sometimes I wonder if liberal “journalists” ever had a real job.

          Westman,

          re: real job-like politicians, (both parties in the US)–I DOUBT THAT MANY EVER, IN THEIR LIVES, held a real job; or run a real business.

          Most either inherited wealth; married wealth; or have been feeding at the public trough.

          The same, except the liberal trough-for journalists- and most are not real journalists, but purveyors of their viewpoints. All other views are jsut wrong, and not worth talking about.

    All totalitarian ideologies pose a danger not only to the “them” but to many members of the “us” as well. You see this with the Night of the Long Knives (June 30th, 1934) under Nazism; certainly the many purges by Stalin of fellow Communists (including Trotsky); and of course with Islam, a totalitarian ideology if ever there were one, with Muslims deemed by other Muslims, for whatever Muslimthink reason, not properly Muslim enough and therefore deserving of elimination. .

    Rooted in all totalitarianism are paranoia and control-freak elements. Thus the regular killing of part of the “us,” never mind the imperative of going after the “them,” whether the “them” be the “wrong” ethnic group, the “wrong” socio-economic group or the “wrong” religious (or non-religious) group.

    Of course, I wish all totalitarian ideologies would disappear from the earth, but if there is going to be killing by totalitarian miscreants, I of course far prefer it be of members of the “us” rather than of the “them.” In fact, what a damn shame they just can’t wipe out each other completely. Now there’s an uplifting thought.

    The carnage reminds one of Kerry’s insightful comment about Refrigerators being deadlier than ISIS. This guy is a deep and intelligent thinker, as he has repeatedly demonstrated.

    • Singh the Sikh says

      Jul 23, 2016 at 6:31 pm

      Kerry had actually said ‘air-conditoners’ are deadlier. Their are 80 dead Afhganis to show for it.

        Jul 23, 2016 at 7:48 pm

        Do you mean that the a/c’s set off the bombs? (sarc. reply to sarc above).

        (Although, i think kerry did mention, somewhere, that it was a/cs and refrigerators.).

        Regardless, I think that he is a traitor and an idiot. And a slime.

    July 21, 2016 – President Barack Obama said at the White House Summit on Global Development Wednesday that ‘we are living in the most peaceful’ era in human history and that ‘the world has never been less violent.’

    The Deceiver In Chief.

    • Westman says

      Jul 23, 2016 at 7:23 pm

      The Elite thought the same thing after WWI; partying hard in the 20’s and getting rich in the stock market. Historically, peace is just the intermission before the next, deadlier war as humans continue in never-ending competition.

      The essential differences in societies can be determined simply by the rules that govern competition between their own members and the rules governing competition with foreign societies.

      Islamic society, without oil, is largely an economic flop because its inferior educational and religious practice hampers industry and meritorious reward; making it unable to fulfill its supremist expectations in world competition. Without booty or jizya, Islamic influence leads to subsistence, which leads to dissatisfaction and warring – with Allah’s handy scape goats, Jews, Christians, Infidels, and Apostates.

    • Demsci says

      Jul 24, 2016 at 3:27 am

      Yes, he got that from professor Steven Pinker, writer of “the better angels of our nature” and many historians, who describe how bad the situation for humans, per capita, mind you, was in the past and how the human condition, with fits and starts, has improved.

      And Deirdre McCloskey tells us in her books about the “Bourgeoisee” how spectacular the average rise of wealth and longevity has been in the last few centuries for the average human.

      But Obama seemingly fails to attribute that to, among other variables, the level of democracy and morals of democratic civilians by and large.

      I think that the 35 or so core Democratic Nations set the pace and that Islam is backward and obsolete and still very violent and not fully participating in this process of more peace, longer peaceperiods, less killings.

      All on a per capita basis and seen from different starting points in history, like the one of the peace-treaty of Munster in 1648, which ended most religious wars in the West. And Obama fails to recognize the by now obvious; that Islam presents big problems for a democratic society. Leave it to him to declare this the most peaceful era and including Islam as one of it’s causes!

      Look, SOME democratic nations DID fight each other, since, say 1800, but on the whole, wars between democratic nations has been extremely rare. In democratic nations powertransition through elections almost always happens without bloodshed. In contrast to so many powertransition in countries in history.

      And with totalitarians in power there is also much bloodshed. As Wellington pointed out about the Nazi’s, killing the SA in ’34, and the Russian Communists, under Stalin, conducting sham show-trials against their own comrades.

      So, in order to yet grow in peaceful, the world should let democracy hold out against and triumph more over Islam, and other totalitarian ideologies.

        Standard left-aligned logic at work – there’s only so much wealth to go around, therefore if a person/country is rich then they much have gotten their wealth by stealing it from a poor person/country.

        By using per-capita figures- it–everything is distorted. if there are 100 people, and 10 are killed- it is 10%; if there are 1,000,000 people and 10,000 are killed- it is 1%. (Assuming same method of killing-like war0.

        hence-in the second case, (going by per-capita rather then real numbers) -90% safer.

    Instead of “death to discrimination”, the impoverished petitioners got death!

    The hyperbole of Islam is that everything must end in ‘death’ to be successful. How successful are they now or ISIS which destroyed 80 of these poor people asking for help?

    ISIS doesn’t discriminate, but will kill practically everyone.

    • oliver says

      Jul 24, 2016 at 3:46 pm

      I would hope that they kill many (if not all) of Hezbollah and the other terrorist groups- with many of their members becoming martyrs in the process.

      That, in my view, would make the world a better place.

    ”The demonstrators had been shouting “death to discrimination” and “all Afghans are equal”….”

    No, you’re not.

    Apparently the Hazaras are overwhelmingly Twelver Shia Muslims – in the land of the Taliban that makes them mushrikeen, and totally Islamic to murder them. Not that I’m shedding any tears; I just wish they’d hurry up and finish killing each other off.

    That hideous jihad suicide /homicide bombing in Kabul ,Afghanistan which resulted in 80 deaths and many more wounded, 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 brainwashing 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.]

    That ISIS jihad bomber who murdered all those people in the city of Kabul ,Afghanistan was as deluded and delusional and was dangerous and murderous. For he must had actually believed by that by his murdering jihad bombing he was going to obtain for himself a paradise. The more fool him. For the Bible teaches that a murder “shall not inherit the kingdom of God. ” Galatians 5:21. In addition the falsehood of the story of the doctrine from the Koran ,the Qu ‘ran, Sura 44:54. 55:56. 78:31, of a sexual /lust-filled paradise with many virgins ,houris, in it for certain men Muslim men is a falsehood the is a story /doctrine is this also absurd. The Bible warns against listening to and believing in unproven , unfounded and far-fetched religious stories. No matter how enticing those religious story /doctrines may be . For the Bible warns against giving “heed to fables…” First Timothy 1:4. Furthermore, the Bible had predicted the coming of such false religious teachers ,as those imams, who teaches other a story/doctrine of a lust-filled /lust-fill place for specific men. For the Bible reads “”For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but will after their own lust shall heap to themselves teachers ,having itching ears; and they shall turn their ears for the truth ,and shall be turned unto fables.” Second Timothy 4:3,4. [K.J.V.]

    That ISIS suicide/homicide jihad bombing attack in Kabul Afghanistan is Koranic based, as seen in for example in Sura 4:89. 5:33. 9:5, 111,123. 47:4. As most everyone knows the Koran, or as some call it the Quran , is the whole foundation of and for Islam. So it may be illustrated that of Islam is represented as a tree then the fruits then the fruits of that tree are the many brutal, violent and deadly jihad terror entities. Such as ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, al Shabaab , Hamas, Hezbollah, P.I.J. etc. With this statement, the Wisdom of the teachings of Jesus may, very much, apply to this subject. For Jesus taught “Ye do know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.” After saying this Jesus told them what He told them when He said “By their fruit ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:16, 17, 18,.20. [K.J.V.] In conclusion, Islam is a corrupt tree and also a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. 5:12,13,20.

  14. Walter Sieruk says

    Jul 24, 2016 at 3:31 pm

    As for this vicious and cruel murderous bombing in Kabul Afghanistan The cruel ,vicious and murderous jihadists thugs who compose the brutal and deadly jihad entity ISIS are actually putting in to the practice ,with all their ruthless actions, the violence and killing that is part of the teaching of the “holy book” of Islam ,the Koran. Which contain the doctrine of extreme violent force for the advancement of Islam. As seen in the Koran, for example, 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. So in spite of the strong denials by many, ISIS is an actual Islamic organization. Likewise the malicious, bloodthirsty violence jihadists who make up ISIS are real Muslims. Nevertheless, there are some who might , understandably, wonder and then ask “Just how can those jihadists of ISIS ,being so very religious , also at the time also be so very malice-filled ,unfeeling and deadly ? “ The answer to that question is found in the Bible. For the Bible teaches that there are some people who are extremely heartless, cold, callous and dangerous because they have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron.” First Timothy 4:2. [ K.J.V.] In this case of the members of ISIS this “hot iron” is Islam.
