But…but…surely the moderate Taliban will win out, won’t they?
“Media ministry offers ‘lifeline’ to fearful Afghans as Taliban kill Christians,” SAT-7, August 17, 2021:
EASTON, Md. — An “unstoppable” media ministry in the Middle East is proving to be a lifeline for isolated Christians in Afghanistan, as the resurgent Taliban go door-to-door, executing believers who refuse to renounce their faith.
Taliban militants are even pulling people off public transport and killing them on the spot if they’re Christians or considered ethnically “unpure,” according to shocking reports from Middle East media ministry SAT-7 (www.sat7usa.org).
“We’re hearing from reliable sources that the Taliban demand people’s phones, and if they find a downloaded Bible on your device, they will kill you immediately,” said SAT-7 North America President Dr. Rex Rogers. “It’s incredibly dangerous right now for Afghans to have anything Christian on their phones. The Taliban have spies and informants everywhere.”…
“Because it’s so dangerous to seek the company of other Christians, many Afghan believers are totally alone, with not even one other Christian with whom to talk,” Rogers said. “Our local director told me: ‘Most dare not attend a house church. They’re alone, fearful, and looking to us. We’re their last resort’.”
SAT-7 PARS live satellite television broadcasts in Farsi — understood by most Afghans — and the local Dari language can reach homes across the entire country uncensored, delivering the only source of hope for thousands of isolated Afghan Christians living in terror.
The channel’s social media and live-chat platforms have experienced a huge surge in the number of Afghans posting messages and calling the ministry’s viewer counseling line, desperate for encouragement and hope. The channel expects a 50% increase in contacts this year….

In some ways it’s reassuring to see the Taliban in control of Afghanistan. This is a modern state, have smart phones and everything. They’re even running the country on the Twitter platform.
Over the thousands of hours of TV coverage and hundreds of column inches of newspaper coverage, Islam is mentioned in the taking of Afghan only as a side issue. Suppressing woman and chopping off the right hands of thieves is a new bad government that happens to be in Islam. But nowhere do I see Islam discussed as the *cause* of the suppressed women and hand-chopped thieves. It’s as if the same would happen in a Christian or Buddhist or Hindu country, but here it happens to be in Dar al Islam.
Bad discussion must involve mistaken language. We’re hearing every minute about radical Islam and extremist Islam. So where’s the normative Islam? Looking at the Taliban takeover and then looking at the Holy Ko-Ran and Hah-Deaths, they sure look normal to me.

Speaking of the designated terrorist organisation’s official checkmarked twitter account, one twitter user with a Pepe The Frog avatar (a “far-right symbol of hate” as designated by the ADL, SPLC and others) managed to negotiate with the Taliban the release of Spanish citizens and NATO personnel out of Afghanistan by saying (paraphrased) “we didn’t want to be there either, Americans made us go, we don’t like them anymore than you do” — a feat that the Spanish government was unable to achieve via proper diplomatic channels.

Aside from this being incredibly funny, what’s even funnier is the fact that the Taliban–head-chopping muslim terrorists–has an official twitter account while Donald Trump–president of the United States–was permanently banned for “inciting hate”. I find that hilarious.

Amazing, huh? After 9/11, all the networks took a least a cursory look at Islam itself.
Not this time around.

Grimly true. The denial may be *worse* now.
DavidR says
Is this part of the victory celebration? I was expecting the Taliban to show a little restraint for a month or two, and gradually introduce the beatings and control of other people’s private business over time, or at least until the World’s attention has returned to focusing on Palestinians and Jews.

While Our western media only talk about Muslim interpreters who worked with Canadian and American forces and who wanna make it to the west to wage jihad by killing especially Christians & Jews and rape white nonMuslim girls when they get the chance! and I am a Canadian Christian guy originally from Iraq and we saw how after the fall of Saddam’s bloody regime, even so called moderate Muslims including longtime Muslim neighbours to Christians started to kill Christians and kidnap and rape Christian girls .
Lion heart says
ISIS in Iraq did the same to Christians by killing them for refusing to denounce their face by beheading some and crucifying others while tossing other teenagers onto well and burn them alive !While our western media only talk about Muslim interpreters who worked with Canadian and American forces and who wanna make it to the west to wage jihad by killing especially Christians & Jews and rape white nonMuslim girls when they get the chance! and I am a Canadian Christian guy originally from Iraq and we saw how after the fall of Saddam’s bloody regime, even so called moderate Muslims including longtime Muslim neighbours to Christians started to kill Christians and kidnap and rape Christian girls .

I believe you,by the way,in Canada,savages have burned 40 churches in like 30 days and people don’t protest,don’t care.
Lion heart says
Taliban have spies abs informants everywhere “ ? that’s moderate Muslims just in case of Iraq after the fall of Saddam’s bloody regime where even many longtime Muslim neighbours to Christians have stabbed Christians in the back by killing them abs raping Christian girls and snitching on them to ISIS especially the Christians who worked as interpreters and other jobs with the us army while they themselves ( I.e. Muslims ) were in thousands upon thousands who worked with the us army !!!

The Bible says that ***nothing*** can separate us from God’s love. To the congregation in Rome, the Apostle Paul wrote:
Romans 8:38-39
New International Version
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
(https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%208%3A38-39&version=NIV)
This is a most horrific situation brought about by satan the devil and his human followers.
It may seem to the rabid mozlums that they are fully in charge, having absolute control, and to the outside world, it really looks like all is lost for those who wish to serve the God of the Bible and be obedient to Christ.
However, our Holy, Almighty God and His Holy Son are fully aware and will act to make things come out right. It is Their choice as to when to take action and Christians must pray and have faith. Even if they lose all contact with other Christians. They never have to lose contact with our Heavenly Father and can call on Him to help them….to endure what they must, and for escape at the appointed time.

”the Taliban demand people’s phones”
Curious! Even China knows mobile phones put more power in the hands of government than in the hands of even the naughtiest user.
OLD GUY says
The Bible being the most dangerous book against islam is banned entry into most muslim/islamic countries. Even good old Saudi Arabia will not allow a bible to be brought into their country.
Walter Sieruk says
This shows that the Bible when compared to and contrasted to the Qu ‘ran is the better and superior of those two books. So much so that the Taliban in fear of the information revealed in the Bible with expose the many false doctrines taught a “divine truth” in the Quran.
Therefore, since the entire foundation of the existence and rule is based on the Qu ‘‘ran. So the Taliban will go to great lengths to eliminate the Bible from Afghanistan even if it means murdering Christians to do so.
The Taliban are glad to engage in that homicide of Christians
Walter Sieruk says
The violent and vicious Muslims who are the Taliban in Afghanistan in their murderous persecution of Christians aren’t really going to get away with their destruction of Christians. As the apostle Paul had written each individual Christian is actually, in the View of God, a temple of God. For to Christians, it is written in the Bible “Don’t you know that that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s Temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.” First Corinthians 3:16,17. [N.I.V.] As in “A man reaps what he sows.” Galatians 6:7.
Spideyweb1 says
Vicious Islamic psychopaths, devoid of any thread of common decency and compassion for their fellow brethren’s. No respect for the sanctity of life.
I guess when you hand your soul over to the greatest satanic cult on earth, islam, this is the beast that will emerge.
Send in all the SealTeam units, Marine recon, and Army Special Forces.. we don’t leave American’s behind.. nor the brave Afghans who risked it all to help us..
Jobama and his whole administration should be impeached immediately for dereliction of duty to protect and defend the rights of Americans in perilous danger.
