Revenge is coming: “And we ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution. But whoever gives charity, it is an expiation for him. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed – then it is those who are the wrongdoers.” (Qur’an 5:45)
“Afghanistan: Taliban ’rounding up blacklist of Afghans involved with former government and threatening to punish them,'” by Jess Sharp, Sky News, August 20, 2021:
The Taliban has started rounding up a blacklist of Afghans who worked with the fallen government, or American and British forces, and is threatening them with Sharia punishment, an intelligence report claims.
Anyone who collaborated with the former regime must report to the “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s Military Commission” if they are contacted by the group – or their families face being arrested, according to the report.
People closely linked to the military, police or intelligence services are thought to be particularly at risk.
“The Taliban are intensifying the hunt-down of all individuals and collaborators with the former regime, and if unsuccessful, target and arrest the families and punish them according to their own interpretation of Sharia law,” the RHIPTO Norwegian Center for Global Analyses document says….
PMK says
“malice toward none and charity for all” isn’t in the Quran,
Michael Copeland says
“their own interpretation of Sharia law” is the same as Mohammed’s.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
The Democrat regime gave the Enemy of the USA, 158 Black Hawk helicopters, M4 carbines and M16 rifles, Mraps mine resistant armoured vehicles, Jets, Drones, missiles, heavy calibre machine guns.
No more riding a scooter or a donkey, if the humvee is not available the Mraps are. They have swooped their ancient AKs for M4 and M16 carbines.
The democrats want to disarm their own citizens, this is the liberal mentality.
Besides this the mega data and bank records have all the personal details of Afghans who worked for the USA, names, contact details, address.
Biden has sunk the USA in 7 months, the social elite and holy wood still cover up for him, the mass media and social platforms still filter information which is embarrassing for Biden and the democrats.
Biden is not aware of the day of the week or what is happing around the world, every now and then his handlers push him in front of cameras and script for him what he is to say.

In the meantime, the Northern Alliance is getting slowly resurrected in the Panjsher valley, led by the Afghan vice president, as well as the son of Ahmad Shah Massoud

Speaking of which, Twitter has suspended the Afghan VP’s account even while they allow the Taliban to use their platform. @Jack could well open an office in Kandahar or Jalalabad: his staff will feel fully at home

Also, on the claims that this is a ‘new Taliban’, they’ve openly stated that they are no different from last time around

I personally believe the time wasn’t right for the US to have pulled it’s troops out, While the troops were in Afghanistan, at least the taliban were being contained.
On the other hand what I do believe is that the US were playing far to big a part in maintaining the peace. There are another 29 nato countries who were benefiting out of Americas presence and most of them contributing absolutely nothing towards it.
Its the same old story every time. We have no need to worry the US will sort everything out.
marc says
“most of them contributing absolutely nothing” slap in the face to UK and Canadian forces, both of who I work with daily, per-capita, their contribution in the highest of prices is equivalent.
James Lincoln says
Very true, marc.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Marc. Lots of brave Canadiuan, Brits, Aussies, and Europeans in the coalition.
Infidel says
He is right about it. You just mentioned 2 countries – UK and Canada. But the bulk of NATO countries do nothing, and I’m not talking about small ones like Montenegro or Luxembourg. Most of the big ones don’t do much either – Germany, Spain, Italy and so on. In fact, on the lifting-their-own-weight issue, some of the smaller ones in Eastern Europe, such as Poland and the Baltic Republics, do pretty well. But by & large, what john smith said above seems to be spot on, once you take out Canada, UK and some of the Eastern European countries
john smith says
98% of all military equipment in Afghanistan was provided by the US. The taliban now have 2000 US armored vehicles and 40 US aircraft in their possession. God Knows how many trucks weapons, and ammunition they have also confiscated.
James Lincoln says
Yes, john.
Lest we forget, Iran still has around 40 combat ready F-14s purchased from the United States in the 1970s prior to the Iranian revolution of 1979.

Infidel says
On Eric Bolling’s show on Newsmax right now, it was reported that in a conference call that Pelosi and McCarthy had w/ Lloyd Austin and Gen Milley, the latter revealed that Americans citizens who were trying to get to Kabul airport were being beaten by the Taliban
Wonder why they don’t wanna reveal such things in public?
Walter Sieruk says
The spiteful and vengeful Taliban will have no compassion or mercy because of their malice-filled Islamic mindset.
