This is happening while mainstream analysts continue to insist that groups such as the Taliban have nothing to do with Islam. The global jihad never tires, never stops. After 1400 years, this should be abundantly clear. In seeking its own interests while attempting to humiliate the United States, the Taliban leader Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada “asserted that the group was ‘on the threshold of establishing an Islamic government’ in the war-ravaged country.” Jihadis (stealth and violent alike) seek every opportunity to conquer.
This is not to imply that American troops should be everywhere. America and other Western countries however, need to be more astute about the spread of jihad and its ruthlessness, and above all about the fact that it is governed by normative Islamic doctrine.
“Taliban leader urges US to comply with peace deal,” by Shadi Khan Saif, Anadolu Agency, July 20, 2020:
The Taliban leader on Tuesday hailed the beginning of the withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan, and urged the US to abide by the peace agreement signed earlier this year.
Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada, in his Eid al-Adha message, urged the US “not create obstacles for ending of the longest war in American history with unwarranted remarks and propaganda.”
The supreme leader of the insurgents said extending the 10-day prisoner exchange process to four months, existence of black lists, and carrying out drone strikes and bombardments on “unjustifiable grounds do not serve the interests of anyone.”
He asserted that the group was “on the threshold of establishing an Islamic government” in the war-ravaged country.
The message was published on the group’s propaganda website, al-Emarah, in Dari, Pashto, Urdu and English languages….

the islamic Republic of Afghanistan was established by the United States with American blood and treasure a long time ago. Does it matter that the taliban will take the ‘Republic’ out? Not to me. Not a single American soldier is worth creating freedoms for Muslims. They must want it and fight for it. They don’t, they fear allah. That’s fine with me.

Even now, Afghanistan has stoning on the books.

it will be a good lesson for fake secular morons in indian govt (entire western media shows them as hindu extremists,which they are not) who wasted millions of usd of the poor nation in afg and not 2 cents on protecting hindu/sikhs there.
TruthSeeker says
The whole state machinery of Pakistan is responsible for Taliban. Even when American soldiers were getting killed in Afghanistan, it was well known that they used to run and hide across the border in Pak. Not sure why Pak was given all that military and economic aid and given NON NATO ALLY status (which still exists to this day). Directly or indirectly US aided Pak was responsible for the killing of US soldiers and waste of money. Wonder why Taliban is still alive when Afghan people don’t support them or like them then look for the States that support these terrorist organizations. Destroy Islamic Pakistan to have peace in the region
PRCS says
Well, of course the Taliban wants Afghanistan to be governed in accordance with Islamic law.
They’re Muslims.
And Islam is a theocracy.
Clifford Fodor says
So, what’s new? it’s been in their constitution for years now.

Here comes another flood of refugees escaping an Islamic government with more than a few Jihadi’s slipped into the mix.
Of course the leftist loonies will tell us “they are in danger, not a danger” and let them all in without being vetted.
Gotta let the next wave of invaders in somehow.

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.”
Walter Sieruk says
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.”

Taliban leader says the group is ‘on the threshold of establishing an Islamic government’ in Afghanistan
……………..
This should come as no surprise. Why are we pretending these are rational actors we can negotiate with?
Richard Courtemanche says
As expected, the lost of foreign western soldiers in there just wasn’t worth it. Peace over there isn’t sustainable.
OLD GUY says
You simply can not trust the muslim people or leaders, Islam teaches them to deceive their enemies along with a whole load of other bad stuff. Slavery, Rape, Murder are all approved by Muhammad and Allah, lying is only a small item in the deception of islam.
