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

Afghanistan: Major Taliban sanctuary and weapons storage area found in mosque

Jun 11, 2019 9:36 am By Robert Spencer

Why didn’t the Muslim clerics at the mosque, knowing from learned imams such as Pope Francis that Islam is a religion of peace, send the Taliban packing?

“Pictures released by provincial governor’s office reveal that the security forces confiscated a Saudi armed forces badge and a Pakistani certificate besides seizing weapons and munitions.”

The Taliban’s jihad is a global jihad, aided by two of our “friends and allies.”

“In Photos: Afghan forces bust Taliban Red Unit’s major sanctuary inside a mosque in Nangarhar,” Khaama Press, June 10, 2019 (thanks to Lookmann):

The Afghan security forces busted one of the major sanctuaries of the Red Unit of Taliban in Nangarhar province.

The Afghan armed forces killed at least 30 Red Unit militants of Taliban during the operation.

The provincial authorities said the Taliban militants had established the sanctuary inside a mosque.

The Nangarhar governor’s office in a statement said the Red Unit of Taliban had established its sanctuary inside a mosque in Sherzad district.

The statement further added that the Afghan armed forces carefully conducted the operation to bust the sanctuary of the group considering the sacred place of mosque.

The statement also added that three Red Unit commanders of Taliban originally hailing from Pakistan were also among those killed.

The security forces also wounded 14 Red Unit militants of Taliban during the same operation.

    Every mosque is modelled on Mohammed’s first mosque in Medina. It is a storage place for arms.
    When police raided the Finsbury Park mosque in London they found arms stored there.

    See Sam Solomon’s video “What is a Mosque? Modern day Trojan Horse”, on youtube.

      Didn’t the French authorities have to close down 104 mosques a year or so back after large stores of arms were found in them? Not exactly what we would normally expect in a ‘place of worship’, is it? The West has got to stop pretending that islam is a ‘religion’ as we understand it, and accept that those who follow this ‘faith’ have never had any intention of conforming as ‘good citizens’ but, as subversive supremacist invaders, destroying everything that the West stands for.

      A mosque is like an armory with a prayer room attached. The indoctrination of troops for the emolument of the Islamic state is the true purpose of the mosque. The Koran is a troop motivator.

    On the morning of April 17, 2019 on FOX NEWS television the subject was covered about the idea of having “peace talks “with the Taliban. Viewing the history of the Taliban when they were in power in Afghanistan and the brutal ruthless misogyny they had engaged in was both vicious and malicious to the extreme.

    Therefore the question ,naturally, was brought up ,now that peace talks” might soon begin, the Taliban it was asked it they return to power in Afghanistan “ would they respect female rights ?”

    To that question the Taliban replied “that when back in power they would respect woman‘s rights but only to the limits of the cultural of will they permit those rights of women.”

    The point is the the “cultural of Afghanistan” is really the religion of Afghanistan, which is Islam.
    Therefore the reality is that female rights, for both girls and woman, will not exist in a future Taliban controlled Islamic state of Afghanistan . For Islam is a religion of harsh and malice- filled misogyny.
    As explained in the book, by Brigitte Gabriel, of the title THEY MUST BE STOPPED. Her book informs the readers on page 172. “Woman in Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.”

      Yes–the whole idea of “peace talks” with the Taliban is insane.

    Having actual, real, genuine productive “peace talks” with those brutal ,cruel misogynistic Taliban characters is an absurd and fool idea of folly.

    One thing is for sure, even if even attempting to engage on “peace talks” with Taliban it would be best not to be naïve about them and take at face value anything that they might say or promise. To just “give trust away” to those Islamic characters who compose the Taliban would be foolishness and folly. For when trying to have genuine negotiations with the them ,it need to be kept in mind that there is an Islamic doctrine called TAQIYYA This is the Muslim dogma the lying and deception are good things to do, if and as long as the lies and deceit are done for the advancement of Islam.

    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 most likely 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.”

    Furthermore, if attempting to engage in “peace talks” with Taliban it would be very naïve to take at face value anything that the Taliban might promise. For example, the Taliban might say that they will respect the rights of women and girls, for they ,many times, employ the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya In those so called “negotiations” with officials of the West .Taaqyia ids the Islamic teaching that lying and deceit
    So it may be nothing but foolishness and folly to even try to have worthwhile constructive peace discussions with lying brutal cruel men who make up the Taliban . For having a genuine practical peace compromise with Taliban might be impossible

    As the former US President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, had well-spoken when he said “There has never been – there never can be – successful compromise between good and evil.”

    Is there a difference between a ‘weapons dump’ and a ‘mosque?’ Maybe I’ve been using the word ‘mosque’ wrong when I talk. Why didn’t my Muslim friends say something?

    Wasn’t it Erdogan of Turkey who stated that the “minarets are our bayonets and the mosque our barracks”?

    Hmmm…. this one is a real ‘head scratcher’!

    Mass weapons being stored… and a mosque….
    hmmm…. what could the possible connection be…?
    Would this have anything to do with ‘love bombing’ perhaps?

    Hmmm…..
    world leaders stand perplexed by this enigmatic conundrum…
    Sherlock and all of the detectives of Scotland Yard will have to get on the case asap!!!
    Get your magnifying glass on the clues… quick!

    Afghanistan: Major Taliban sanctuary and weapons storage area found in mosque

    When someone is telling you that all religions are the same, you should ask them how many temples, churches, and synagogues have rocket launchers, machine guns, and other military equipment stored in them. Of course, they will never agree that Mosques have such things. Yet, this is one more article, out of many, that documents such finds. It seems that the jihad sympathizers (they don’t like that label) feel that as long as they remain ignorant, they can be tolerant and compassionate. They have to agree that willful ignorance is stupid.
