My latest in PJ Media:
The Taliban’s defense minister, Maulvi Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid, recently responded to news that the U.S. plans to station 2,000 troops at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul by presenting what he considered to be a tit-for-tat: according to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), the austere diplomat tweeted: “If America wants 2,000 English [i.e., American] troops at its embassy in Afghanistan, we also want 2,000 Fidayeen Mujahideen [i.e., suicide bombers] from the Fateh Force at the embassy of Afghanistan in America.” Two-thousand suicide bombers in Washington! It’ll almost be like Congress, but bigger.
MEMRI explains that “fidayeen is another term used by jihadi groups for their suicide bombers. ‘Fateh Force,’ or ‘victorious force,’ is a ‘martyrdom force’ within the Badri 313 unit of the Islamic Emirate [of Afghanistan]. Badri 313 is named after the Ghazwa-e-Badr, the first Islamic battle led by Islam’s founder Muhammad in which 313 Muslims defeated thousands of non-Muslim tribesmen.”
The idea of a small band of true believers defeating a massively larger opposing force has been reinforced lately by Biden’s handlers’ disgracefully botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. The Taliban, like jihadis around the world, are emboldened by the Biden administration’s obvious weakness and see their struggle as the latest manifestation of the perennial struggle between Muslim believers and unbelievers who are determined to destroy what they see as the only true religion.
The justification for suicide bombing is likewise found in Islamic doctrine and is based on the Qur’an itself, which says: “Indeed, Allah has bought from the believers their lives and their wealth, because the garden will be theirs, they will fight in the way of Allah and will kill and be killed. It is a promise that is binding on him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an.” (9:111)
There is actually no trace in the Torah or Gospel of the idea that paradise is guaranteed to someone who kills for God and is killed in the process, but the idea that this promise is binding upon Allah is critically important. There is no other unequivocal promise of paradise in the Qur’an and copious, luridly detailed descriptions of the tortures of the hellfire that is reserved for unbelievers, hypocrites, and those whose bad deeds outweigh their good deeds on Allah’s grand scales (cf. Qur’an 21:47). The suicide bomber, however, doesn’t have to worry about any of his bad deeds at all, for a place in paradise is guaranteed to him if he kills and is killed in the process.
There is more. Read the rest here.
Walter Sieruk says
This is very same Taliban that Joe Biden just handed over Afghanistan to.
Furthermore ,this is same Taliban that Biden in in different subtle and insidious ways strive to appease , please , fund and support.
What a sinister fiend the United States now has posing as her “President.”
Treasonous impostor President pretender Biden is a more fitting title for him

It is obvious the present administration learns nothing from the experience in Tehran. Placing state department airheads in a sea of killers who could care nothing at all about the generally recognized duty of a host nation to protect embassies is totally delusional. Would Israel attempt to install an embassy in a Nazi death camp? Afghanistan under taliban control is no better. Such an embassy is only an opportunity to blackmail the United States taxpayers into paying continuing ransom, just as provoked the war against the Barbary Pirates when the US was starting. How clueless and gutless are the people in charge today? We are out; and brought over 100,000 people of uncertain motivation with us to add much danger to our country. Why ask for more? Where an embassy is nothing more than a collection of hostages, it should never exist.

Now where did I put that article with the heading of the Taliban saying that the US needs to pay them for all the damage they did over the years to their country? Looks like the US (Biden, I mean), paid up, or was that just a down payment?

J.O.A., I won’t get the quote exactly, “Nobody ever lost money by underestimating the idiocy of a democrat.” P.T. Barnum (paraphrased). They do not deserve a capital D.

Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
“Indeed, Allah has bought from the believers their lives and their wealth, because the garden will be theirs, they will fight in the way of Allah and will kill and be killed. It is a promise that is binding on him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an.” (9:111)
Ya mean, Allah has to keep his promises? Theologically, what justifies this? Isn’t this a contradiction of Allah’s omnipotence? If Allah fails to keep his promise, who will punish Allah?
gravenimage says
True, Mark. Muslims regularly castigate–and murder–Jews and Christians for supposedly saying “Allah is fettered”. More contradictions in Islam.

If the US embassy is now completely evacuated, why does the US want 2000 troops there?
joanofark06 says
Goes to show ya, that you can’t believe everything you read (or hear)….when it comes to “our” government! All lies..
Dano S. says
Some threat. Biden has beat him to it and let more than 2000 suicide bombers into the country.
Lyone Fein-Bernbaum says
Why do we still have a US embassy in Afghanistan? Why do we permit an Afghani embassy in the US? Ridiculous.
David Foot says
This is the same Taliban Biden has given billions of dollars in military equipement and lately 300 million dollars in aid!
Has the West gone mad?
Is the West jumping off a cliff?
OLD GUY says
Vary business like the Taliban is according to Biden. Yep the business of bilking the American tax payer out of more money, while threatening to kill America at the same time. Makes me wonder how big a kick back Hunter arranged for.
