Afghanistan: Muslims murder 63 with jihad suicide bomb at Kabul wedding

Aug 19, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

“The suicide bomber stood in the middle of the dancing, clapping crowd as hundreds of Afghan children and adults celebrated a wedding in a joyous release from Kabul’s strain of war. Then, in a flash, he detonated his explosives-filled vest, killing dozens…”

“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)

“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111)

If American troops stay in Afghanistan for one more year, this kind of thing will still happen among rival Muslim factions. If American troops stay in Afghanistan for five more years, this kind of thing will still happen among rival Muslim factions. If American troops stay in Afghanistan for fifty more years, this kind of thing will still happen among rival Muslim factions. If American troops stay in Afghanistan for a thousand more years, this kind of thing will still happen among rival Muslim factions. There must be a better way to contain jihad activity and keep Afghan jihadis from sowing murder and mayhem outside of Afghanistan.

“Islamic State claims bombing at Kabul wedding that killed 63,” by Rahim Faiez and Cara Anna, Associated Press, August 18, 2019:

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The suicide bomber stood in the middle of the dancing, clapping crowd as hundreds of Afghan children and adults celebrated a wedding in a joyous release from Kabul’s strain of war. Then, in a flash, he detonated his explosives-filled vest, killing dozens — and Afghanistan grieved again.

The local Islamic State affiliate claimed responsibility for the deadliest attack in the capital this year, with 63 killed and 182 wounded, while outraged Afghans questioned just how safe they will be under an approaching deal between the United States and the Taliban to end America’s longest war.

Stunned families buried the dead, some digging with their bare hands. One wounded survivor, Mohammad Aslim, still wore his bloodied clothes the day after the blast late Saturday. He and his friends had already buried 16 bodies, among them several close relatives, including a 7-year-old boy.

Aslim looked exhausted, and said he was waiting to bury more. Nearby, a man named Amanullah, who lost his 14-year-old son, said in anguish that the explosion had mangled the boy’s face so badly he could no longer recognize it.

“I wish I could find the pieces of my son’s body and put them as one piece into the grave,” he cried.

The emergence of the Islamic State affiliate in recent years might be the greatest threat to Afghan civilians as the U.S. and Taliban seek an agreement to end nearly 18 years of fighting. While the U.S. wants Taliban assurances that Afghanistan will no longer be used as a launch pad for global terror attacks, there appear to be no guarantees of protection for Afghan civilians….

    This is so typical. Violence is glorified.

    Recently I have been reading ‘The Strange Death of Europe’ (2017) by Douglas Murray. I find it to be a clear-sighted treatment of the problems of immigration in Britain and Europe.

    One anecdote says a lot about the Muslim immigrants who are coming into Europe from Africa. The following quote is from Chapter 4, ‘Welcome to Europe’.

    “In December 2014 in bad seas one boat of more than fifty sub-Saharan Africans headed off from near Nador in northern Morocco to the southern coast of Spain. The Cameroonian Muslim captain blamed the bad weather on a Nigerian Christian pastor who was praying on board.

    ‘The captain and crew beat the pastor and threw him overboard before searching the other passengers, identifying the Christians, then beating and throwing them overboard in the same manner.”

    How revolting.

    [This case actually came to trial in Spain two years later. See ‘Muslim migrant boat captain faces murder charges for pushing Christians overboard’, Daily Telegraph, 19 September 2016.]

      This will happen as long as there is Islam. Islam needs to be eradicated.

        What about eradicated the Chinese way, by reprogramming?

        Governments of Muslim-majority nations including Malaysia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia have avoided raising the matter publicly.

        Pakistan has gone even further by defending China, saying the reporting on the Uyghurs’ situation has been “sensationalised” by Western media.

    Murdering one’s enemies at a wedding or funeral is one of the most amoral things that one can imagine in warfare.

    These are amoral savages.

      And this is why they must be stopped for the sake of all humanity.

      Not amoral, but *immoral*.

        Let’s call it for what it is, demonic and evil.

          Sounds pretty immoral to me.

    Muslims have a choice to make: 1) continued jihad and carnage 2) modernity, universal human rights.

    I know an Afghan who hates jihad terrorism, but can’t bring himself to completely leave Islam.

    • Jaladhi says

      Aug 19, 2019 at 9:54 am

      Muslims have already made that choice – continue jihad, carnage, murder, rape…! You can’t ask them to disassociate them with this “beautiful” teaching of allah which guarantees them a place in the Houriland!!

      Why do you think they have not changed in last 1400 years – in fact they want to live in the seventh century forever! Allah rules a Muslim’s life!!

      • TruthWFree says

        Aug 19, 2019 at 9:51 pm

        And the allah god is Satan…I am convinced!

    This is standard for Muslims – kill, kill, kill… They live only for killing!!

    Your Afghan friend demonstrates anecdotally the Jesuit saying “ Give me a child until the age of seven and I”ll show you the man”

    Muslims are from their very birth brainwashed into the religion of Islam and all its tenets including Jihad, Taqqiya and Al Walaa Wal Baraa. Even if ,as rational thinking adults they come to realise that it is a barbaric political ideology masquerading as a spiritual tradition. Even if they witness the corrosive impact of anger , hate and deception upon their co- religionists psyche they cannot tear themselves away

    This is because of the ideology’s hold on their emotions – their feeling of safety , security and strength drawn from being part of a larger group: the sensations of warmth and love experienced at their mother,s breast as they heard the Koranic verses being recited as ,sated with milk they grew drowsy in the warmth of their mother,s enveloping arms. The sense of delight they felt as they were dandled on their father’s knees. The sound of the muezzin’s call to prayer as they savoured the scent of breakfast being freshly prepared. As Obama declared upon hearing this sound during his childhood in Indonesia “ the prettiest sound I ever heard”.

    Such childhood experiences contribute to the growth and identity of the individual even individual Muslims. For them to leave Islam is for them akin to tearing away a part of their “heart”. It would cut them from the moorings of the roots of themselves.

    Reuters repot that the attack was in a Shi’ite neighbourhood, saying the bomber had been able to infiltrate … the crowd of “infidels”.

    • gravenimage says

      Yes–more sectarian savagery.

    While the U.S. wants Taliban assurances that Afghanistan will no longer be used as a launch pad for global terror attacks

    Assurances from the talibans? If you believe that, you shouldn’t be making that kind of decisions…

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 19, 2019 at 9:35 pm

      So true, ANgemon.

    Years and years ago, my father told me that – for a devout Muslim – a pint of blood is “a daily meal”.

    Decades later, I learned that he was right…

    Human bombs, death and destruction on an mass scale, religious fanatics driven insane by a death cult masquerading as a religion, blood and guts and tribes and evil, evil people. One thing for sure…..Allah is pleased.

    Evil and revengeful to the core. I am curious how no one noticed a suicide vest……I would think it he could be identified this human ticking bomb as looking over stuffed no guards or security in this country surrounded by jihadists, but the pat down would have to be outside. Were there muslims guests at the wedding.?
