“The attackers could have targeted other parts of the facility, but witnesses said they went straight to the maternity ward, which is supported by the international charity.”
Will the Islamophobia never end?
“Three women with unborn babies among 11 mothers killed in attack on Kabul maternity hospital,” by Deborah Haynes, Sky News, May 21, 2020:
Three women in the delivery room with their unborn babies were among 11 mothers killed in an attack on a maternity hospital in Kabul last week, a charity has said.
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has accused gunmen of intentionally targeting mothers in the assault on 12 May that also left two young boys and a midwife dead.
In total, 24 people were killed and at least 20 more wounded, including five mothers and two new-born babies.
“I went back the day after the attack and what I saw in the maternity demonstrates it was a systematic shooting of the mothers,” said Frederic Bonnot, MSF’s head of programmes in Afghanistan.
“It was methodical. Walls sprayed with bullets, blood on the floor in the rooms, vehicles burnt out and windows shot through.”
No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
The Taliban denied involvement, though suspicion remains, while there have also been reports it was carried out by militants linked to Islamic State….
MSF said a total of 26 mothers had been at the Dasht-e-Barchi hospital when an as-yet unknown number of gunmen launched their assault at about 10am….
The attackers could have targeted other parts of the facility, but witnesses said they went straight to the maternity ward, which is supported by the international charity.
“What ensued was four hours of hell – that is how long the attack lasted, while patients and staff alike looked for shelter,” said Mr Bonnot….

Not sure Islamophobia is the word you want in this article. Although Islamophobia may be a healthy response ’til Muslims reject this type of madness.

Robert Spencer is being sarcastic, Ajc.

The attack/massacre lasted four hours in Kabul Where were the security forces, where were the police?
martin says
The proper word is ISLAMO-NAUSEA
Emmie says
I like to call it islamorealism.
PRCS says
The correct term, IMO, is anti-Muslim, as it is Muslims who carry out Islam’s horrors.
No Muzzies Here says
It’s a good thing that the Holy Month of Ramadan is only one month long. There is only so much religious fervor that the world can take without engulfing the whole occupied world in blood.
PRCS says
+1
Ramadan is just another month in Islam’s war on the kuffar. Just a more ‘devout’ month.
Dude says
I could understand if the victims were Christians; it’s a recurring nightmare I have. However, I don’t see how scripture promotes this sort of thing. I guess they figure any abomination is probably justified by scripture. Dead babies Akbhar!

Pious Muslims can go after anyone they deem “insufficiently Islamic”–including mothers and newborns at a government hospital in Afghanistan.
DHazard says
Islam has nothing to do with religion.
Laura says
And absolutely nothing to do with terrorism, according to the sage Obama.
martin says
Except that islam is the religion of satan
PRCS says
Except that Satan is just another man-made superstition.
PRCS says
The deceased adults and likely the young boys knew the killers were members of the umma: the worldwide ‘Muslim nation’ whose members are supposed to be “strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other.” More importantly, the survivors–who are unable to leave ‘the faith’ or to even speak out against its teachings– know that, too,
gravenimage says
True–but in few cases will the Muslim victims hold Islam responsible for this savagery.
PRCS says
Deep down inside, the victims know, but given the consequences saying so–in public….
gravenimage says
That is it, in some cases–but most Muslims will also do anything to exonerate Islam.
PRCS says
In the main, yes.
But this is about the survivors of that massacre: women who will likely never be able to say what’s on their minds .
wpm says
“I could understand if the Victims were Christians ,it,s recurring nightmare I have”.Your Islamic scripture is full of murder, violence ,rape and mayhem if the Muslims killed were from a different branch of that monkey puzzle tree that is Islam they could be killed in the name of Allah for not being real Muslims. More Muslims are killed in the name of Allah every year by fellow Muslims then killed by Americans,Israels ,and Hindu Indians combined.If the murdered were Christians babies I am sure you would not condemn it
elee says
Why does America recognise and negotiate with the perpetrators of this infamy? And why do the Pakis love them while they massacre their newborns?
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Call it infantile rage. Another example of how the religion of peace poses the most dangerous existential threat to its women and children. Through women life springs forth. Through children life is most joyously expressed. These two facts run counter to the death cult that is Islam.

Ramadan in Afghanistan: Muslims raid maternity hospital, murder 11 mothers, including 3 with unborn babies

God, I hate Islam.
OREN WYSOCKI says
Other than committing more murders, I don’t think this can be topped as far as horrible targets. Pregnant mothers in A maternity ward is even worse than attacking A kindergarten.
I desire to scream at the left again, and say zero human rights, decency, international law, nothing. None of it means anything to you, and you still call right wingers and religious people racists for trying to defend themselves and those they care about from such people. I am sure the left deserves that somewhat, but I don’t know how much of this they will hear.
Should we blame the media? Its not like news stories about crazy muslims are that hidden. So what if the forces of evil play for their own team, and protect their twisted followers. All you have to do is switch the channel, dig A little bit on many websites. It has been A non stop education about islam since 2001. Black male americans have been murdering, beating and robbing at ten times the rate of white people for much longer. We know the reasons for refusing to listen are the same. Sure white people will move away from blacks and muslims, and vote to keep them out of their country, but when some white people or Jews or non whites anywhere try to defend themselves from blacks, muslims or other racially motivated attackers, the same white majority will say leftist lies, and vote for politicians who support the bad guys and punish the good guys.
I am A big believer that with enough conversation, suffering can be avoided, and people can be reasoned with. But there is no avoiding the fact that the support for the right and the religious dictates how much influence we have in the media. I am referring to the real right wing, not these seeker friendly, pray with muslims to be peaceful fools. We barley have enough support to keep free speech alive. In fact I suspect we don’t even have that, as with ease the left whenever it desires can push some gruesome stories with some offensive comments and crush free speech in america within three months. They allow the idea of free speech to continue because it helps deceive millions of people, young people especially into believing that they live in A free country, rather than A tyranny that they would complain about, and withdraw consent from.
No amount of education can make the black community not hate to hear about having to live with inequality. Their commitment to the truth is rare and small, if they were given A choice to vote, they would easily be enticed by politicians who told them that they were not as unequal as they really are.
The white gentiles are not africans. In Judaism, the situation is described, that if this world was to continue to its inevitable end, in the year 6,000, the gentile would be A mirror reflection of the Jew in appearance, behavior and some beliefs. But not the same. Perhaps, one day the white gentiles of america will be able to do everything that the Jews of Israel can do, but that does not mean that they were always able to do what Jews are able to do, over the entire 6,000 year time span.
My assessment of free america, is that they cannot progress onward. Words without influence on policy compel the majority to side with the leftist liars, especially with their new, anti democratic powers to censor, fire, boycott and terrorize. Access to media is shrinking, not expanding, and as I pointed out before, most americans know the situation, it has been debated for A very long time by any measurement standard.
While simultaneously the Jews of Israel are far less hung up by the limitations of racism. They have a long history of being persecuted by the muslims, that has been censored, but they talk about with ease. The western left will accuse Jewish Israelis of racism for defending themselves from muslims, but the evidence of leftist bias against Israelis and white gentiles is so massive that it will be easily clear to the Jews of Israel that it is the left that is racist, not the Israelis attempting to defend themselves and their democracy. In short, I think its time for Israel to take the lead, for A time, or forever. I think our leaders are well aware of it as well.
Any attempts made by americans to confront multiculturalism or equality will be severely punished in the next election. Pointing out that islam and blacks are the aggressors is good, but as we have seen with the African American community in America, the majority of americans are ok with the suffering caused by ignoring black behaviors and anger while living with whites and other non whites. The time of freedom in America appears to be over, the rich choosing to go communist or fascist aside, it appears that only Israel will be able to have A debate, and publicize it in the parts of the world still open to knew ideas. Upsetting ideas would cause more attacks on government in A fascist America. In A communist America there would be no pretense for having those ideas. Allowing Israel to be the scapegoat, far far away, works for everyone, much better.
I used to hear A story of communists taking over, and forming A one world government, and then they would be betrayed by the anti Christ, who would turn the oppressive state, that the people agreed to in order to defeat the white and Jewish racists, but I don’t think that story fits anymore. It is no surprise that end times stories fit whoever is in charge at the moment, but I don’t think the left will feel great confidence in communism anymore. They wont be able to avoid questions like what about the rich people, and why are we all being stuck in prisons at home?
When possible, speech is good, and darkness is bad, I think. In that sentiment, I hope that the world switches to A story about Israel and the muslims, and that black, non white and leftist americans will hopefully see themselves and realize the immorality of their positions, and at least be weakened by it. Based on current standards of living, it really is easy for blacks and latinos who agree to it, to move back to countries where they make up the majority and to be subsidized by America and have very good lives at A low price. It will be better than living in America on the bottom of the food chain and struggling desperately all their lives. In G-d I trust.

Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew offers greetings for Ramadan (one year ago)
MAY 9, 2019
‘We wish you to celebrate your holy Ramadan feast with enthusiasm and love,’ says Patriarch Bartholomew.
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew officiated a service Wednesday at the Saint John [the Theologian] Church in memory of the youngest apostle of Jesus and he wished Muslims success in Ramadan.
Bartholomew delivered a portion of his address in Turkish and congratulated Muslims on the holy month.
“I would like to offer most sincere congratulations and best wishes of myself and the Christian Orthodox community to Muslims for the incipient holy month of Ramadan,” Bartholomew said.
Wow! The environmentalist (aka “The Green Patriarch”) appears to be just as blind as Pope Francis regarding these issues. So according to Robert flawed exegesis of Matthew, the following should also lead him out of the Orthodox Church:
“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)

You find this kind of dhimmitude in almost all denominations, unfortunately.
OLD GUY says
Ramadan the celebration of murder and blessed killings by Islam. And Islam’s answer to this violence is your ISLAMOPHOBIC if you speak out about it. What the hell is wrong with the islamic/muslim people that they think killing women and children is a holy and blessed action from God. Killings such as these do not make one feel like becoming a member of their islamic society it makes one totally sick and tired of the violence in the name of Allah. The only answer for this kind of behavior is to wipe it from the face of the earth as soon as possible.
No one or group has the right to murder, those responsible for inciting and committing these murders need to be held accountable, it’s time for all non-muslim countries to stand up to this butchery. Why is the UN standing by and not sanctioning these countries and their leaders? I thought that when the UN was formed with the Rotary Club as a major supporter that it was done for humanitarian purposes. It seems like the UN needs to adopt the Rotary Four Way Test,
Is it the truth
Is it fair to all concerned
Well it build better relationships
Will it be beneficial to all concerned
Muslim/Islamic countries that allow Child marriage, Honor killings, and Terrorism should be removed from the UN until they cleanup their human rights violations.
gravenimage says
Unfortunately, the biggest voting bloc in the UN is now Muslim, so this is not apt to happen.
Linde Barrera says
This is the most demonic thing I have read in Jihad Watch so far, and I have been a subscriber since early 2015. May all those innocents who were murdered be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.+
I just wish that my hero, Robert Spencer, would not use sarcasm as frequently as he does. It is not appropriate in most cases because sarcasm demeans and trivializes the innocent people who are being killed. PLEASE MR. SPENCER, DO NOT USE SARCASM TOO OFTEN. I am sure I am not your only reader who finds it jarring.
