Grab five “Afghanistan experts” from the State Department or the U.S. military, and I would bet that not one of them could explain from Akhunzada’s perspective why the “success of the Afghan jihad” would be a “source of pride” for “Muslims all over the world.” The willful ignorance at the top was at astounding levels from the beginning to the end of the Afghan misadventure.
“Taliban supreme leader addresses major gathering in Kabul,” Al Jazeera, July 1, 2022:
Mullah Haibatullah Akhunzada, the reclusive supreme leader of the Taliban, has attended a major gathering of religious leaders and elders in Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul.
More than 3,000 men were expected to attend the three-day gathering that started on Thursday in Kabul’s Polytechnic University and is expected to rubber-stamp the Taliban’s rule over Afghanistan.
The arrival on Friday of Akhunzada, who had not been filmed or photographed in public since the group returned to power in August last year, was broadcast on state radio. Cheers and chants, including “Long live the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan”, the Taliban’s name for the country, were heard.
“The success of the Afghan jihad is not only a source of pride for Afghans but also for Muslims all over the world,” Akhunzada said in a speech, according to state-run Bakhtar News Agency, using the Arabic word signifying a spiritual struggle….
“Why is the world interfering in our affairs?” he was quoted as saying. “They say ‘why don’t you do this, why don’t you do that?’ Why does the world interfere in our work?”…
Akhunzada, who is believed to be in his 70s and bears the title “Commander of the Faithful,” rarely leaves Kandahar, the Taliban’s birthplace and spiritual heartland. Apart from one undated photograph and several audio recordings of speeches, he has almost no digital footprint….
The leader’s presence raised the security alert. On Thursday, two gunmen were shot dead near the venue. Officials said the two started firing from a rooftop but were “quickly eliminated by mujahideen with the help of Allah the almighty”….
The Taliban notably did not call the gathering a Loya Jirga – a traditional Afghan way for local leaders to have their grievances heard by rulers – instead titling it “the Great Conference of Ulema”, the term in Islam for religious scholars and clerics….

I suggest they show their pride by draping themselves in the colors of the rainbow.
mortimer says
Religious terrorism must ‘bring pride’ to Muslims.
somehistory says
Let’s all ask him a great big “why”…Why do you mozlum terror creeps insist on the rest of the world of mankind bow down to your disgusting fake “prophet” and follow the demonic instructions to rape and kill? Why don’t you just mind your own filthy business and leave Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, and all others alone to do what they see as right?
And, Why do you not have your conscience given to each of you to reject the evil filth of a mass murderer, raper od children, sex-mad slave trading thief, lying sack of feculent filth and son of satan the devil?
CogitoErgoSum says
It’s because of verses like 9:29 in the Koran … eternal and unchangeable. Plus, Allah allows obedient Muslims to keep a part of the booty taken from the Infidels. Success for Muslims involves the word “fight.” Repeat that in a a person’s ear from the time of birth and you are going to end up with a whole lot of violence and death.
Wellington says
I think his answer would be, somehistory, that Islam is destined, praise be to Allah, peace be upon Mohammed, blah, blah, blah, to conquer and subdue all the world. The ultimate goal is no more dar al-harb and everything dar al-Islam.
You cannot reason with people like him. They’re dead-enders as is Islam in its entirety. You must kill people like him and, hopefully, ultimately destroy Islam so much that it continues to exist only on the remote fringes of humanity. This should be the plan of virtually all non-Muslims, so evil and control-freakish is this worst religion of all time.
PRCS says
And, to date, so many of our ‘leaders’ still can’t be reasoned with re: Islam.
somehistory says
replying to CogitoErgoSum and Wellington with one typing….as my eyes are having some minor troubles and I’m making numerous typos…
I know. It’s just that his “why” do you interfere in our business…just giving him a taste of it….they only respond to the physical pushback, but I’m not a violent person and I stay as from mozlums as I am able.
I’ve lived way too close, worked with way too many and talked with quite a number of them over the years. I’ve wondered how many would have slit my throat had we been in nigeria or pakistan when those things were true. All but two…one a young mother and one a teen girl…probably would have been glad to see me deceased by their hand.
So my why’s…just tired of the whole idea that they believe somehow in their demonic filth, they are better than the rest of us.
Wellington says
Best to you, somehistory, on the matter of your eyes. Your voice here at JW is a valuable one and I hope you have an optimal opthalmological recovery (btw, my father was an opthalmologist).
somehistory says
thank you, Wellington. Your voice is much appreciated.
I saw the retina specialist a couple of weeks ago…he took me off the one drop for swelling and I see him again in Oct. I also have to see a glaucoma dr that month as I have developed…due to so many operations and steroid drops for the swelling…mild glaucoma and he has to check to see if the meds are working.
the blurriness today…is from allergies…a bug=a-boo that I have every spring summer fall and even some n winter…this time of year it’s the worst. I’m thankful to have the sight I do.
I have much appreciation for eye doctors. Without them, I would be blind today, and I don’t believe I could read, write, drive or paint and that would leave me very depressed. Besides I couldn’t see my sweet beautiful granddaughters.
so, thank you very much. I’m sure your father was appreciated by his patients. eye sight is a precious gift
gravenimage says
I hope your eyes are better, Somhistory.
gravenimage says
Sorry, I meant Somehistory.
somehistory says
thanks, g. And don’t worry about the spelling. It really isn’t my name. I just have a lot of “history” in my life and “some” of it is related to this topic of evil. Silly, I know, but my name is the same as other people on the net, and you would even find me there personally. I just don’t want the connection made. so, somhistory…ok. 🙂
mortimer says
Answer to question from SH: “TURHIBUNNA” (terrorize them) – Koran 8.60.
The eternal, ‘perfect’ answer of Allah.
somehistory says
by now, I know that you know all about it, but so do I understand; and again, ****please stop shouting at me.****** You do know what that means, don’t you?
Shouting…unless there is a danger such as a fire, or I’m about to be run over by a mozlum in a vehicle or stabbed in the back by a mozlum, or clonked over the head by one….is **rude*** and **all c a p s *** for your many words you wish to emphasize is a form of shouting. Learn to use your inside voice.
mortimer says
The all caps are not from me to you … they are the eternal words of Allah, dear lady. And I wish to bring them to the attention of people visiting this site who still believe the falsehood that ‘Islam is a religion of peace’.
No disrespect is intended when I use all caps … it is for emphasis, because italics are not available … which are my preference.
Terrorism is the plan of Allah from all eternity in his eternal Koran.
Muslims who terrorize are good, obedient Muslims. Terrorism is the strongest way of conducting world conquest.
somehistory says
well, if you cannot refrain from using them in your responses to my comments, then please just put your thoughts and your quotes from the infernal book of filth someplace on the page and not with the SH you use to tell me stuff.
You can do that, can you not? Remember what Jesus said that people …many not Christians…call the “Golden Rule”….”Do to others what you wish to be done to you.” I would refrain if the shoe was on the other foot and you asked me not to use caps or to write certain words, and I’m asking that little bit from you.
I’m asking that you not use them and that you not try to convince me to use the words from the book of evil in direct replies to me.
Thanking you in advance.

I’m so sorry to here your having problems with your eyes Somehistory, and I haven’t noticed anything at all with your typing. I hope, and I honestly will pray that you eyesight improves, but like Wellington says, your voice is a valuable here. In fact it’s extremely valuable.
somehistory says
thank you much, John, for all of that. I miss some punctuation and some words or letters get left out. Or they should be capped.
I catch some, but when I look back to see if it’s clear…yikes. I’m glad that it’s not so noticeable to you.
thank you for the hope and the prayer. the Apostle and brother of Jesus, James, wrote, “The prayer of the righteous has much power.”
and thank you for your compliment. the one from Wellington, and the ones from you, mean a lot to me.
Both of you make a valuable contribution…from your experiences and your views on so many threads.
john smith says
Your welcome Somehistory.

The horrible policy and directed action of that horrendously treasonous “president” Joe Biden in Afghanistan does indeed have a galvanizing effect to stir and impel the jihadists of many different Islamic terror/murder organizations around the world to continue even stronger than before.
Especially since they have their useful idiot and stooge sitting and resting in the Oval Office of the White House masquerading as a real, genuine, United States President.
That treacherous fiend old man Joe Biden asset and Inspiration to America’s enemies around the world.
mea mark says
it is all the say mohammdan ball of wax… the terrorists black mail mor pay-off the politicians to refuse to enforce the Laws of the country the mohammadans are soft – terrorist invading. see, India below
220702 mohammed rising in India in violation of an ancient agreement – contract 02
20701 – post 1947 partition, the mohammadans were allowed to live on in Indian territory because the mohammadans agreed muslims would not pursue mohammadan domination : Jihad in India.
the mohammadans have now breached that 1947 agreement saying “we were not the people who made that agreement”; so, the Court judges [who know all this] (and their families) should be forcibly expelled : ordered : if necessary driven into Pakistan along with the entire gang of back stabbing : oath : contract breaking mohammadan traitors…
of course, the Hindu majority, over the last 50 years, having been converted into ‘virtual Liberation Theology Christians, will do nothing but suck up to the rampaging mohammadans… which establishes indoctrination works.
In the India case Expulsion is not ethnic cleansing, it is enforcing the terms of an ancient agreement = which is the mohammadans agreeing to remain : being allowed to go on living in India on the condition that they, mohammadans, did not : would not act on their mohammadan plan for mohammadan world domination inside India… an agreement the mohammadans have no repudiated by breaching the terms; thus,
India is required, as a matter of contract law, as well as self-defense to expel every mohammadan for breach of contract… every Judge in India knows this : every Judge on the planet knows expulsion is required; except,
the mohammadan Judges who, knowing contract law, still sustain the quasi-religious : koranic mohammadan edict that it is right to lie to infidels when a politi’Kal or military advantage may be had.
Every Judge on the Indian Court knows the above facts… to rule as they have done establishes that they, to a man, have been paid-off and/or otherwise extorted to rule to sustain Contract breaching mohammadan terrorism – terrorists in country… just like the politi’Kal ‘Klasses in Europe and America sell their Citizens and religions out to the mohammadan terrorists – at home and world wide.
The faux mohammadan religion which posses as : wraps itself in the mantel of their false prophet, mohammad, their front puppet for Arab thugs running a bastardized feudal political order under the pretense of : the veil of a so-called religion that we all know was/is the constructed, whole cloth blasphemy, born of the direct heresy of ‘three Real Religions’ : the ‘Animist, Jewish, and Christian Religions, while usurping the brutal mohammadan enforcement provisions from the vicious code Hammurabi.

Surely Al Jazeera knows that’s not the one and only definition.

All this talk people do about impeaching Biden. Actually there is no real 46 US President to impeach because Joe Biden is a pseudo “president.”
To put this in another way.,this is the first time in the history of the United States that this nation has no President. Instead the US has only a criminally installed figurehead.
RITA MARIA BLOMME says
Some species are doomed to go extinct as they cannot adapt to circumstances. The taliban want to go back to the stone age – well them go there and leave them there. They have nothing to offer even to their own population let alone contribute anything to the progress of humanity. The world will be better off without them constantly begging on the world stage for help. The West propped up and helped this country for twenty years, but who sadly proved to be a nation of cowards that fled at the first sign of trouble. What a contrast to the Ukrainians whose men are proud fighters.

“Why is the world interfering in our affairs?”
If you don’t want ‘interference’ then don’t ask others to help you in any way, shape or form. Enjoy your emirate. Many of us will be happy to ignore you and your people. Enough of your people preferred Islamic rule to freedom. You made the choice. Live with it.
