“And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know, whom Allah knows.” (Qur’an 8:60)
“Save the Children Is Attacked in Afghanistan; ISIS Claims Responsibility,” by Zabihullah Ghazi and Mujib Mashal, New York Times, January 24, 2018:
JALALABAD, Afghanistan — Gunmen stormed the office of Save the Children in the eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad after an explosion on Wednesday morning, killing at least one person, officials said. Hours later, with fighting at the scene still underway, the aid agency said it had suspended all Afghanistan operations.
“We remain committed to resuming our operations and lifesaving work as soon as possible,” Save the Children said in a statement. The agency, which provides aid in 120 countries, works in 16 of Afghanistan’s 34 provinces, and its programs reach more than 700,000 Afghan children, according to its website.
The Islamic State’s local affiliate in Afghanistan claimed responsibility for the attack, according to the group’s Amaq news agency.
Attaullah Khogyani, a spokesman for the governor of Nangarhar Province, which includes Jalalabad, said the gunmen entered the charity’s office after a suicide bombing in front of the building.
“I saw a white car arrive, then armed men rushed out of the car,” said a witness, Mohammed Waseem, 28. “After that a blast occurred, followed by gunfire. I had to run away to seek safety for myself.”
Later in the day, with fighting between militants and security forces still underway, Mr. Khogyani’s office said that one person had been killed and 20 wounded, but that most of the injuries were not severe.
There are at least two schools in the area where the attack occurred. Pictures circulating on social media showed children, some accompanied by adults and others on their own, running away from the scene….

Study Shows Islamic Terrorism is Islamic

Study Shows Islamic Terrorism is Islamic
Summary:
Although the internet evidently did play a role in the radicalization process, the study showed that face-to-face encounters were more important, and that dawa, the proselytizing of Islam, played a central role in this process, as the men themselves became missionaries for Islam.
The third factor was the establishment of a “them and us” distinction between the radicalized men and the rest of the world, especially the belief that the West is an enemy of the Muslim world. The distinction also involved a rejection of democracy and a commitment to the establishment of a caliphate governed by sharia law, which the men want to bring about either through dawa (proselytizing) or violence (jihad).
“The Islamic State is a byproduct of Al Azhar’s programs. So can Al Azhar denounce itself as un-Islamic? Al Azhar says there must be a caliphate and that it is an obligation for the Muslim world. Al Azhar teaches the law of apostasy and killing the apostate. Al Azhar is hostile towards religious minorities, and teaches things like not building churches, etc. Al Azhar upholds the institution of jizya [extracting tribute from non-Muslims]. Al Azhar teaches stoning people. So can Al Azhar denounce itself as un-Islamic?”
— Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah Nasr, scholar of Islamic law, graduate of Egypt’s Al Azhar University, explaining why it refused to denounce ISIS as un-Islamic, 2015.

Maybe they took some dancing boys away from their “Tolibon” masters

Save the Children works with children in situ. It does not remove them from the home.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Even the dancing boys?
LeftisruiningCanada says
Right, yes, they aren’t keen on schools are they, especially for girls.
DP111 says
Muslims have the fear that “Save the Children” are converting Muslim children to Christianity. That is what they sincerely believe.
They would rather their own children die then that happen. And that is why, a family will kill their own to prevent one of theirs becoming Christian.
It is eminently sane not to import Muslims to the West.
gravenimage says
Save the Children does not remove children from the home. It matches a child with a sponsor who provides money and writes to them. I suppose Muslims might be paranoid that letters could lead to apostasy. More generally, though, these Mohammedans just don’t want the presence of *any* Infidels in their lands, even though this is aiding their own children, and allowing them to get health care and go to school.
LeftisruiningCanada says
‘Save the Children’, they cry,
those Christians they surely must die
for taking our toys
by which we mean boys,
with whom we surely do lie.

Afghanistan: Islamic State jihadis storm Save the Children office, at least one person killed
………………………
Targeting a charity for children–one that helps Afghan children–that is next to two schools.
And my husband and I have sponsored three kids through Save the Children. Only pious Musis would target such good people.
God, I hate Islam.
Indiana Tom says
So I take it that they did not want to save the children?
gravenimage says
Pious Muslims care nothing for children. They either want to rape them or use them as suicide bombers, or both. (OK, maybe not at the same time. You get my point, though).
Kafir Indian says
May be there wasn’t any board or sign outside the office. Why else would the adherents of the religion of peace attack “Save the Children”?
Chand says
Seems Afghanistan is going to need more outside military help in confronting the Caliphate’s murdering soldiers there now. They are more vicious than the Taliban.
Eric jones says
How brave could a jihadist be to attack a defenseless organization that helps children?
Despicable!
