My latest in PJ Media:
A senior official in Biden’s clueless and chaotic State Department admitted Wednesday that most of the Afghans who actually served as interpreters for U.S. forces, as well as those who applied for Special Immigrant Visas, were left behind in Kabul. In fact, according to the Wall Street Journal, “the U.S. still doesn’t have reliable data on who was evacuated.” However, there is growing evidence that among the Afghans who have been brought to the United States is a substantial number of human traffickers, who have brought the children they call their wives with them.
The Associated Press reported Friday that “U.S. officials are looking into reports that in the frantic evacuation of desperate Afghans from Kabul, older men were admitted together with young girls they claimed as ‘brides’ or otherwise sexually abused. U.S. officials at intake centers in the United Arab Emirates and in Wisconsin have identified numerous incidents in which Afghan girls have been presented to authorities as the “wives” of much older men.…U.S. officials in the United Arab Emirates have expressed similar concerns, sending a diplomatic cable to Washington warning that some young Afghan girls had been forced into marriages in order to escape Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover.”
One State Department document said that girls were reporting that the older men they had been forced to marry in order to get out of Afghanistan had raped them. And a situation report dated August 27, “Afghanistan Task Force SitRep No. 63,” stated: “Intake staff at Fort McCoy reported multiple cases of minor females who presented as ‘married’ to adult Afghan men, as well as polygamous families. Department of State has requested urgent guidance.”
What kind of guidance State was seeking, and from whom, was unclear, but the dilemma was obvious. AP noted that “the U.S. has strict policies against human trafficking that include prosecutions for offenders and sanctions for countries that don’t crack down on it.” However, CBS News pointed out laconically: “It is not clear how the U.S. would handle the case of an Afghan evacuee found guilty of child trafficking.” Indeed. Deporting such people back to Afghanistan doesn’t seem to be an option. And should the U.S. be so “Islamophobic,” and contravene the principles of multiculturalism so brazenly, as to object to these child marriages?
That question must be asked because as much as State might want to ignore or even deny the fact, child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law. Turkey’s directorate of religious affairs (Diyanet) said in January 2018 that under Islamic law, girls as young as nine can marry. Ishaq Akintola, a professor of Islamic Eschatology and Director of Muslim Rights Concern in Nigeria, stated: “Islam has no age barrier in marriage and Muslims have no apology for those who refuse to accept this.” Dr. Abd Al-Hamid Al-‘Ubeidi, an Iraqi expert on Islamic law, agreed: “There is no minimum marriage age for either men or women in Islamic law. The law in many countries permits girls to marry only from the age of 18. This is arbitrary legislation, not Islamic law.” Dr. Salih bin Fawzan, a prominent cleric and member of Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council, said that there is no minimum age for marriage and that girls can be married “even if they are in the cradle.” Pakistan’s Council of Islamic Ideology ruled: “Islam does not forbid marriage of young children.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Federal government flew Afghan child molesters to Germany!
It was a tragic incident that took place at Kabul airport. Without any screening, people rushed into the German Armed Forces’ transport planes to escape from Afghanistan to Germany.
“Those who were young, male, strong and ready for violence had the best chance of making their way in,” is how one of the people involved described the conditions.
The result: the planes that flew to Germany via Tashkent were for the most part NOT carrying local staff who had worked for Germany and the German armed forces – as promised by Chancellor Angela Merkel. But mainly those who were strong enough to make it to the planes – among them the most serious criminals and people who had been deported from Germany.
The newspaper BILD has figures and files that show how little the evacuation from Kabul has to do with the promises made by the German government.
So far, around 5,000 people from Afghanistan have arrived at German airports. Just 168 of them are local nationals, 469 German citizens. At the same time, 257 people were able to enter Germany completely without identity papers. In plain language: the German government evacuated MORE people whose identity is completely unclear than local forces!
In government circles, it is assumed that there is at least a low three-digit number of criminals among those evacuated.
Among them, for example …
Sardar Mohammed M., who was sentenced to eight years and three months in prison for sexual abuse of children in Germany.
Unbelievable: He had sexually abused his daughter for years. The first assault took place when the daughter was nine years old. In February 2019, he was deported to Afghanistan. Now he is back in Germany and in custody. He still has 177 days to serve, then he will be released. Although, according to the authorities, he is “at risk of re-offending”.
Khwahja Rashed S., sentenced to two years and six months in prison for dangerous bodily harm using weapons.
He is now also back in prison in Germany. He had been deported as recently as February. Now he can no longer be brought back to Afghanistan – a stop to deportation. He will be released in 86 days.
Omed F., convicted of sexual assault and rape.
Also deported as recently as February. He was actually banned from entering the country until February 2024, but the federal government brought him back. Now the rapist is walking free in Germany.
Khwaja Obaidullah A., convicted in Germany of drug trafficking, assault, trespassing.
Deported in February 2021, entry ban until 2024. He is now also walking free in Germany again because he made it onto one of the evacuation flights without being checked.
At least 20 people posing a security threat were confirmed to have made it on board the evacuation flights to Germany.
Interior Minister Horst Seehofer (CSU, 72) sharply criticised that there had not been sufficient checks. There were “some serious criminals” coming to Germany.
Stephan Mayer (47), State Secretary in the Ministry of the Interior, told the newspaper BILD: “In future, the security aspect must once again play a much greater role in the entry of Afghan nationals. Therefore, security checks must take place before the planned entry into Germany in order to prevent the most serious criminal or serial offenders or dangerous persons from coming to our country who had already been deported and would pose a considerable security risk.”

PRCS says
Disgusting.
Not just Germany, of course.
gravenimage says
Appalling, Fred–but this does not surprise.
PRCS says
Perhaps I missed it, but I don’t recall any members of the Harris administration being asked what they plan to do with the Afghan “refugees” who don’t qualify for entry into our country.
Pretty sure they won’t be sent back to Afghanistan.
gravenimage says
Others have already said that no Afghans are going to be sent back. So much for “vetting”.

I say send em all to Vatican City. The Pope seems to love them.
libertyORdeath says
I love the argument that the legal age for marriage or consensual sex in the West is “arbitrary”, as if we just picked a random number.

Some Afghan Evacuees Brought Their Child Brides to the U.S. With Them
…………….
So are US authorities just going to let these Muslims go on *raping children* ? Good lord…
revereridesagain says
Well, hell, don’t send them to Texas or it will be open season on forcing the 12-year-olds to have the babies of the 78 IQ first cousins they were forcibly married to. There’s no relief for those poor little girls because “it’s not the baby’s fault!!” saith the sanctimonious Christians of that state, better a little girl be raped and forced to carry one in her immature body and endure hours of pain squeezing it out.
Those of you supporting that vicious law should all be soooooooooo proud of yourselves. Your gods will, of course, “reward” you with that all-important “eternal life”.
Disgusting.
gravenimage says
Actually, the idea that raping children is legal in Texas is mistaken.
somehistory says
Wrong. Only “One God” is our God.
And people who refuse “eternal life,” won’t be recipients of it, so you shouldn’t worry yourself.
Texans who oppose baby killing are “proud” of a law that seeks to protect the unborn. When a heart beat is heard by a doctor, there is a “pulse,” and a pulse means that there is complete evidence of life. More states should follow this law in their jurisdictions.
Some, perhaps many, of the babies saved by this law will be little girls.
Their lives are just as sacred as the little girls who are brought here by their rapists.
You should contact nancy pelosi, biden, schumer, and that other idiot, dickie durbin who is railing against Texas and the “shadow” Court; and advise them on where they should be sending these mozlums. Tell them you would rather they get sent to your neck of the woods. That should cheer you.
OLD GUY says
Why is our American government so hell bent on bringing these muslim/islamic migrants to our country without checking them out, for criminal activities including bringing their child brides with them. Bring the child brides but leave the pedophile’s to the Taliban. Not seeing a lot of good for American citizens coming from this.
