The Taliban are angry because the Iranians seem to be neglecting this Qur’anic directive: “Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are ruthless to unbelievers, merciful to one another.” (Qur’an 48:29)
The application of that passage to any individual case depends on whom one considers to be a fellow Muslim, and whom one considers to be an unbeliever. The Shi’ite Iranian authorities may have considered these Afghan migrants to be unbelievers because they were likely Sunnis. Or if they were fellow Shi’a, they may have found them Islamically wanting on some other grounds.
In any case, will this mistreatment of migrants cause the Democrat Party in the U.S. to rethink its continuous demands that the U.S. lift sanctions on Iran? Not on your life. The mullahs’ hatred of America is too useful.
“Taliban reacts to Iranian forces move for throwing 57 Afghans into river,” Khaama Press, May 3, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The Taliban group reacted to Iran border guards’ move for allegedly throwing 57 Afghan migrants into river, killing at least 23 of them.
The Taliban group in a statement said the group will share its deep concerns regarding the ‘martyrdom’ of the Afghan migrants, with the Iranian authorities.
The statement further added that the Iranian authorities must consider kindness, Islamic brotherhood and the principles of neighborhood in their behavior with the Afghans considering the ongoing situation in Afghanistan.
This comes as some of the Afghan migrants accused the Iranian forces, border guards, of throwing 57 people into a river which resulted in the killing of at least 23 of them, it has been reported.
Certain of the survivors of the incident have claimed that the Iranian border guards initially arrested the migrants from a bordering region and later threw them in to Harirod River….

Thought they were meant to be benevolent to each other. But, what do you expect from a Bandit Culture festooned with feral degenerates.
DDMisra says
The Iranians are Shia and consider Afghans Sunnis fit to be killed.

That ugly bastard needs to see a dentist! What will it take for the people to rise up and take their country back?
Ben Kennedy says
“What will it take for the people to rise up and take their country back?” is a question the worker bee peoples of the world need to answer in their respective cases. For now we all have at least one thing in common; we are all under the “Jack Boot Heal” of criminal thugs calling themselves “Our Government”. These rulers have larceny, not blue, in their blood.

Sunni and Shia Muslims all look alike. Sometimes a Muslim doesn’t know who to hate. The other guys should be forced to wear badges.
Walter Sieruk says
That officials of this Islamic “republic ” had recently thrown fifty-three migrants from Afghanistan into a river which drowned twenty-three of them is consistent and keeping with the callous and murderous history of that brutal Islamic regime of Iran.
Let’s face it ,,those in power int his”mullah tyranny” care nothing at all even for live and safety own Shiite Muslims citizens ,so how much less ,if even possible, would it care for or about the lives and safety of Sunni Muslim immigrants from Afghanistan.
Furthermore, Hassan Rouhani who is the mullah president of Iran is a very cruel man who truly lacks understanding, in many ways,
One example of his terrible lack of understanding is that Rouhani is ignorant that Jesus is the Son of God. Who is God the Father ,First John 2:23. 4:15,16.
Likewise ,Rouhani doesn’t understand that Jesus is also God the Son, Hebrews 1:6-8. First John 5:20.
This ignorance of Rouhani n his understanding of those two Bible truth’s is reflection that he as a ruler terribly denies basic human rights to the Iranian people and he is awful wicked tyrannical oppressor over the people trapped in that Islamic tyranny of Iran..
As the Bible informs its reader in Proverbs 28:16. “A ruler who lacks understanding is great oppressor…” [N.K.J.V.]
Ronhani when dies is going to go straight to hell.

Islamic Republic of Iran throws 57 Afghan migrants into river, Taliban say Iranians “must consider kindness”
……………….
Yeah–because the bloody *Taliban* is so kind–including slaughtering their fellow Muslims the Hazara.
The fact is that Muslims are hideously brutal towards one another–it’s just that they hate Infidels ever more.
Patrick B. Ludwig says
Who cares. As long as they kill each other, they are part of the solution.
Giacomo Latta says
These Taliban (translation, students, so I’ve been told) obviously needed at least one more course in Islam in order to not have been so naive as to think that all other self-declared muslims would accept them as muslims. When you choose to live in the world of Islam you can never be too muslim.
OLD GUY says
Islam the political religion interpreted by the individual dictator for his benefit and control of the citizens he sees as his subjects. Not much good comes from islamic countries, most are third world where the inhabitants mostly live in fear and poverty.
