Afghanistan: Pro-Sharia Muslims injure 15 with jihad bomb outside mosque used as polling station

Sep 30, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

The Taliban consider voting to be a sinful act. Law comes from Allah and is not subject to disagreement or consensus. Voting is a feature of societies built on mandmade law, which the Taliban don’t consider Sharia to be. Does the administration really think that they can conduct fruitful negotiations with people who believe these things?

“15 injured in bomb blast outside Afghan mosque being used as a polling station in presidential election amid fears of a surge in Taliban militant violence,” by Isabella Nikolic, Mailonline, September 28, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A bomb explosion outside a mosque being used as a polling station in Afghanistan has injured 15 people, according to a doctor who spoke on condition of his anonymity.

A police officer and several election officials were struck by the blast and three are in a critical condition at a hospital in Kandahar.

An upsurge in violence in the run-up to Afghanistan’s presidential elections has already rattled the country in past weeks following the collapse of US talks with the Taliban to end America’s longest war….

Today many voters expressed equal fear and frustration over relentless government corruption and the widespread chaos at polling stations.

Tens of thousands of police, intelligence officials and Afghan National Army personnel have been deployed throughout the country to protect the 4,942 election centres.

Authorities said 431 polling centres will stay closed because it was impossible to guarantee their security since they were either in areas under Taliban control or where insurgents could threaten nearby villages.

In northern Kunduz, where the Taliban have previously threatened the city – even briefly taking control of some areas – insurgents fired mortar rounds into the city and attacked Afghan security forces on its outskirts, said Ghulam Rabani, a council member for the province.

Rabani said the attacks are to ‘frighten people and force them to stay in their home and not participate in the election.’…

    Kissinger negotiated with North Vietnamese communists who were completely insincere about any of their promises. Kissinger’s deal was a sell-out of the South Vietnam allies.

    Any negotiation with the Taliban is a sell-out of Afghanistan’s democratic political parties. The Taliban is to Islam what Stalinists are to communism … namely, they are HARD CORE, uncompromising, undemocratic Muslims.

      Pretending that the Taliban are partners for peace is perverse in the extreme.

    As for that recent bomb blast ,in Afghanistan,which injured fifteen people does lead to the very important question posed in the above jihadwatch article ,the question is “Does the administration really think that they can conduct fruitful negotiations with people who believe these things?”

    For any “peace” agreement with Taliban is a “Deal with devil “ in other words a “fools deal.” The very idea of 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.”

      Indeed.

    The last bombing in Afghanistan which injured fifteen people along with all the other Taliban bombings before this last one is more than enough proof that the Taliban are vicious characters that have no honor and no regard for human rights. Therefore since the Taliban don’t value human life ,male and even less so female any “negotiations” with them for a genuine peace is a recipe for disaster.

    In regard to the Taliban placing no value to females, , both women and girls, it should known that 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 was asked if 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
    women‘s rights but only to the limits of the cultural of will they permit those rights of women.”
    The point is that 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.”
