What did the mainstream analysts expect they would do? Become stockbrokers? But this does not mean we should continue the failed attempt at “nation-building” in Afghanistan. The American troops should all come home, and efforts devoted to quarantining Afghan jihadis in Afghanistan so that they can’t wage their jihad outside of that country.
“Many freed Taliban prisoners have returned to insurgency; Abdullah,” Afghanistan Times, September 23, 2020 (thanks to Henry):
KABUL: Many Taliban recently freed from Afghanistan prisons have rejoined the insurgency, Chairman of the High Council for National Reconciliation Dr. Abdullah Abdullah says, bringing a US-Taliban deal into disrepute which then undermines the goodwill gesture by the Afghan government for freeing thousands of insurgent inmates.
“Honestly, I don’t know how many have rejoined the war,” Abdullah told the US Foreign Relations Council, “But I know that some of them went back to the battlefields and this is in contrast with their commitment in the U.S.-Taliban peace deal.”
However, he didn’t provide further information and any proof in regards. Abdullah also confirmed that a large number of these prisoners remain at home and denounce violence.
The February 29th peace deal that also laid out the American troops’ drawdown in Afghanistan included the release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners in return for the 1,000 security forces. The Taliban committed that the prisoners would not rejoin the insurgency….

Jihadi may be the best career choice in Afghanistan. Crime pays. It funded Islam from it’s earliest days. And some will always be planning for the afterlife anyway where one’s commitment to the path of mass murderer is not overlooked by Allah.

Its time the people on the site stop blaming everything on Islam. If they were Christian, would you still be criticizing them for driving out colonizers and the puppet governments they set up. The Taliban are the legitimately, voted in government of the people of Afghanistan. Look it up, they are AFGHANs…duh! When the US forces are driven out, leave or dwindle down to a number in the hundreds, the Taliban will retake the country. I hope they execute every traitor that cooperated with the US to destroy their country over the last 20 years. The afghans are undefeated when it comes to colonizers dating back to Alexander the Great. They will stay undefeated, and hopefully rid their country of the stench of US occupation. And no, the US and its puppets were not invited in to occupy their county and bring “democracy”. America is only 400 years old. How the hell can they teach ancient civilizations anything but war, slavery and capitalist occupation? Speak truth. Live truth. And accept Islam for humanity’s salvation.

Sabri S,
Lest our readers forget, you support honor killings and Louis Farrakhan…

The Taliban slaughters the Shia Hazara and stones women to death–but what could be more Islamic than butchering other sect Muslims and murdering women?

Of course, it was America and other Western nations that *abolished* slavery–something Islam has never done, since the “Prophet” Muhammed himself enslaved his victims, traded in slaves, and used slaves and sex slaves. This is considered “perfect” in Islam.
How is pedophilia, slavery, rape and sex slavery, brutal Shari’ah law, and the slaughter of Infidels and minorities “salvation”? This is only true if you sacralize murder and the crushing of freedom–as pious Muslims like Sabri S do.
Afghanistan is an Islamic hell hole, and was even worse under the Taliban.

Another trip to the woodshed for Sabri S.
He must enjoy punishment – and by a woman!
Is he a masochist?

Its not your fault you were born into such a damaged Belief system where the only purpose is some kind, any kind, of Jihad for a Warlord Empire. But we will not have it & you cannot kill us all.

Trying to have peace talks with the Taliban is like trying to have peace talks with armed Nazis during WWII.
