Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Taliban deny Russia paid them to kill US troops: “Jihad of the Islamic Emirate not indebted to any foreign country”

Jul 2, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“We strongly reject this allegation. The nineteen-year Jihad of the Islamic Emirate is not indebted to the beneficence of any intelligence organ or foreign country and neither is the Islamic Emirate in need of anyone in specifying objectives.”

Here again we see jihadis referring to their activities in strictly Islamic terms, while Islam is the foremost aspect of the conflict that Western analysts ignore as they try to formulate strategies to deal with that conflict.

“Remarks by spokesman of Islamic Emirate concerning allegations by some western media outlets,” Voice of Jihad, June 27, 2020:

Remarks by spokesman of Islamic Emirate concerning allegations by some western media outlets

A number of western media outlets have published reports alleging that the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate received payments from Russia for killing American troops and other such rumors.

We strongly reject this allegation. The nineteen-year Jihad of the Islamic Emirate is not indebted to the beneficence of any intelligence organ or foreign country and neither is the Islamic Emirate in need of anyone in specifying objectives.

The Islamic Emirate has made use of weapons, facilities and tools in its nineteen-year Jihad that were already present in Afghanistan or are war spoils frequently seized from the opposition in battles.

The American forces suffered most of their losses from simple plastic bottles that were filled by the Afghans in their own homes with their own homemade explosives.

These rumors are being circulated to create hurdles for the departure of American troops, to weaken and confuse advocates of peace in America and to attribute the great heroism and achievements of the Afghans to foreigner circles.

We reassure our nation and the entire world that the Islamic Emirate is not a tool of anyone nor is it employed for foreign agendas rather it has sacrificed to protect its religion, land and greater interests and has accomplished everything with its own hands and initiative.

Such rumors can never change the stance of the Islamic Emirate. We believe that implementation of the agreement signed with the United States of America will ensure the goal of achieving comprehensive peace and we remain committed to it in the future just as we have completely acted upon it so far.

    They strongly reject the allegation. Should I deduce from this that they do not strongly reject other allegations ?

      They aren’t denying they murdered Americans, if that’s what you mean.

    …………………….

    This is interesting. I think Jihadists have enough impetus to murder Americans all on their own.

    Is Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan going to be the new name for Afghanistan once the Taliban consolidates power?

      The Taliban was in power in Afghanistan before.

    I’m sure they’ll take anyone’s money to kill anyone else, and just as happily kill the one who paid; what they mean is that we’re not special.

    Jihadist will do anything to continue their jihad. They will take money, hardware and lie about it, totally sanctioned by Allah in their Queer-an.

    Evil comes in many forms; groups like the Taliban have been around for centuries, and they and groups like them will continue to exist for centuries to come.

    Life is a never-ending between good and evil; for now, evil is winning.

    I thought the reports were awfully fishy–doesn’t the Taliban hate Russia?? Why would they work w/them in any capacity?

    • gravenimage says

      They would probably take their money–but they probably would not deny it if they were.

    Taliban deny being paid by Russia. Naturally. Taliban do not need pecuniary inducements from the infidel to carry out the commands of the prophet on the infidel: This was just another Democrat Red Herring like the Steele File and the Russia Bogey to get rid of Trump who gave the corrupt and criminal Democrats such a rude shock in their “mirror, mirror, on the wall” election.
    The West can never comprehend Communism, Islam, or indeed, anything that is outside the prism of its own vanity, delusions and aspirations.
    Right now, the US is attempting to woo the Taliban in Afghanistan with a promise of “Prosperity”.
    The Taliban (i.e. students of the Quran) were never interested in prosperity. They are interested in implementing the commands of Quran and Hadith to impose the Sharia on the rubble of all civilization by feat of arms: Else they would not be Taliban.
    “Many Countries One system” or, rather, “Many Countries One Nation” is the Highest Common Factor between Islam and Communism

    I guess we believe the Taliban when they it serves our purposes (defending Trump)

    • gravenimage says

      Does ELI have a problem with the Taliban murdering US troops, paid extra to do so or not? Not so he says…
