The Taliban has made no secret of its goal of establishing Sharia in its fullness, not just in Afghanistan but regionally, and ultimately globally, but most Westerners refuse to pay attention. They think negotiations work with jihadists. Meanwhile, Biden left behind $7 billion worth of sophisticated military equipment that the Taliban quickly seized to help it achieve its goals.
The “draconian version of Sharia law” that the Taliban is implementing is the “version” that most resembles the that of Muhammad as depicted in the Quran and Hadiths.
The Prophet said, “The hand should be cut off for stealing something that is worth a quarter of a Dinar or more.” (Sahih Bukhari 8:81:780)
The adulterer and the adulteress, lash each one of them a hundred times. And do not let pity for the two prevent you from obedience to Allah, if you believe in Allah and the last day. And let a group of believers witness their punishment. (Quran 24:2)
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: If he is intoxicated, flog him; again if he is intoxicated, flog him; again if he is intoxicated, flog him if he does it again a fourth time, kill him. AbuDawud said: And there is a similar tradition of Umar ibn AbuSalamah, from his father, on the authority of AbuHurayrah, from the Prophet (peace be upon him): If he drinks wine, flog him if he does it so again, a fourth time, kill him. (Abu Dawud 38:4469)
“Sharia law returns to Afghanistan as Taliban confirms public whippings,” by Joe Wallen, Telegraph, August 8, 2022:
Five people, including two women, have been whipped in Afghanistan in the first confirmed public punishment under Sharia law since the Taliban returned to power last August.
A man and a woman were whipped 39 times in front of dozens of local residents before being sentenced to two and six years in prison respectively on Sunday, Taliban officials in Zabul province confirmed.
According to local media. the couple were living together unmarried and engaging in a sexual relationship, which is classed as illegal adultery under Sharia law, a series of strict Islamic laws based on the Quran.
A second woman who lived in the same building as the couple, was whipped 20 times and also sentenced to six years in prison for allegedly permitting the sexual relationship to occur.
Separately. two men were given 20 lashes after being arrested on charges of robbery in the same province. They were sentenced to one month in prison.
“The decision [was] made based on Sharia, it is natural that it will come into effect in Islamic governments,” Bilal Karimi, deputy spokesman for the Taliban, told local news outlet Tolo News on Sunday….When the Taliban previously ruled Afghanistan in the 1990s, they had implemented a draconian version of Sharia law which saw convicted murderers publicly executed in Kabul’s sports stadium, while thieves had their limbs amputated….
Westman says
The “New” Taliban, exactly like the old Taliban. The “smart” Afghanis left for unbelieving countries. For the rest, it’s back to subsistence, forever.
Taliban are parasites. A product label we’ll never see: “Hand made in Afghanistan by Taliban”
CogitoErgoSum says
This is what the people of Afghanistan wanted and they should get it good and hard. I’m sure they love their Taliban. I can hear them crying out in joy, “Please Mr. Taliban, may I have some more.” They’ve got a fever and the only cure is more Taliban.

Afghanistan: Taliban confirms public whippings as Sharia law returns in full
…………………………….
They didn’t wait long, did they? But then, they didn’t have to…
Walter Sieruk says
When a Taliban spokesman in referring to the question of the basic human rights of females, both girls and women, he declared” We guarantee all their rights within the limits of Islam.”
All aware people who understand Islam know that the last four words of that statement has an obvious meaning.
Which is that with Islam the rights of females are very limited. As in within the Islamic view, they have little to no rights at all. .
As this has been so well explained by Brigitte Gabriel in her book, entitled THEY MUST BE STOPPED in Chapter 9 of the title “Islam’s Contempt for Women” which informs its reader on page 171 “Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements in Islamic ideology.”
In addition, on the next page it further reads “Women in Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.”
The tragic and sad reality is that Islam is a religion of brutal, cruel, harsh and even, at times, murderous misogyny.
Walter Sieruk says
The misogynistic Taliban is based under the tyranny of the misogyny of Sharia law which gives females, both girls and women, very little to no basic human rights at all.
Therefore about Sharia law, it should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia law is revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995. The point is this history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.
There is the above and other references imply that such pagan teachings were incorporated into the religion that Muhammad manufactured and then started.
Thus this further reveals that a lot of ancient paganism is part of the whole religion of Islam.
In other words, ancient paganism makes up much of Islam. Therefore Islam with its Sharia law are a hoax.
