This is akin to the New York Times’ September 11 tweet saying that “18 years have passed since airplanes took aim and brought down the World Trade Center.” In this case, the Taliban even claimed responsibility, but AP would rather we think a rogue suicide bomb got it in its head to cause some trouble, and went on a killing spree. The AP doesn’t dare name who did it in its headline. That would be “Islamophobic.” Job one of the establishment media is to make sure no one thinks ill of Islam.
“Suicide bomb kills at least 20 people in Southern Afghanistan,” Associated Press, September 19, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A powerful early morning suicide truck bomb has devastated a hospital in southern Afghanistan, killing as many as 20 people and wounding more than 90 others, an official said.
The Taliban, who claimed responsibility for the bombing, have carried out near-daily attacks since peace talks with the US collapsed earlier this month.
Thursday’s massive explosion destroyed part of the hospital in Qalat, the capital of southern Zabul province, and left a fleet of ambulances broken and battered.
Residents, many of whom had come to see sick family members, used shawls and blankets to carry casualties inside the destroyed building, while authorities scrambled to take the worst of the wounded to hospitals in nearby Kandahar.
In the hours immediately after the explosion, there were contradictory figures of the dead and wounded. The provincial governor’s spokesman Gul Islam Seyal put the death toll at 12 but said authorities were on the scene sifting through the debris. Atta Jan Haqbayan, head of the provincial council, put the death toll at 20.
Morning prayers had just finished when worshippers were stunned by the ear-splitting blast that destroyed parts of a mosque next to the hospital, said Mahboob Hakimi, a resident of Qalat.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahed said the target was a nearby intelligence office, which he claimed was destroyed and “tens of intelligence operatives killed/wounded”….

Er – suicide bomb-er?…

Maybe it was a smart bomb.

Sounds like these folks needs them a Super Walmart to take there cares away. Nothing says freedom like cheap stuff. Maybe someone should bring diversity on in and start a conversation.
Come on Don, Art of the Deal these clowns with some 6D chess.
There seems to be no remedy for evil among our leaders. Each passing day limits our options. Before long there will be only one.

They know exactly what they are doing. The choice of words is 100% deliberate. They intentionally do not tell us that a Muslim blew himself up and killed some people.
The American media are on the side of the murdering Muslims, and not on our side.
Jaladhi says
Absolutely – our media has become our enemy – traitors of first order!
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Some guy did something to some people.
Paul J says
That’s not really vague enough; try “some bomb did something to some people somewhere”. That’s more accurate.
Jaladhi says
So it’s now “suicide bomb” and not the suicide bomber!! How delusional and brain dead these liberals and lame stream media have become now! Can they stoop even lower – oh yeah, keep digging. These guys have become our enemy, no doubt it!

Actually, none of these are correct. The clueless “tolerant” West is who uses the term ‘suicide bomber’. They are NOT suicide bombers…they are ghazi martyrs, shadeed. They fight and die in the Way of Allah. Suicide is a grave sin in Islam. They are not committing suicide, they are doing Allah’s Divine Will. It is Istishhad.

You all know these things. You are avid readers of JW.

It’s very clear that the Taliban was behind those murderous bombings, nevertheless some Westerners still feel that some kind of genuine “peace deal” may be made with those brutal and deadly Muslim savages who are the Taliban . How absurd and naive can those people be ?
Furthermore, an important question is “Why are the jihadist bombers, 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 brainwash 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.]
Walter Sieruk says
Those Taliban/ Muslims who are jihad suicide bombers may actually be better called Jihad suicide-homicide jihad bombers are as deluded as they was dangerous and murderous. For they must had actually believed by that by their murdering jihad bombing he was going to obtain for himself a paradise. The more fool them. 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.]

As everything develops a mind of its own, who’s to say whether this type of AI bomb might not start rampaging everywhere? Intelligent bombs, intelligent guns, intelligent baseball bats…. Hell, they could even convict a ham sandwich.

Associated Press: “Suicide bomb kills at least 20 people in Southern Afghanistan”
…………………….
The Taliban are not even pretending to be interested in peace talks.
Chand says
It is just being economical with unnecessary words these days.
Suicide bomb automatically means ‘Islamic jihadi suicide bomber’.
The only other suicide bombers of recent times, i.e. the Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka has been decimated.
