Not to be outdone by the Iranian Islamic regime’s brutal enforcement of hijab, Afghanistan’s Taliban has renewed its jihad against Western dress – particularly the necktie worn by men. The tie draped around the collar resembles a crucifix or a Christian cross, the Taliban regime declared.
The cross, which signifies mankind’s redemption through the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, is a hated symbol according to the Islamic Sharia law, and must be desecrated and destroyed, a senior Taliban operative proclaimed.
“What is a tie? It is the cross. It is ordered in Sharia that you should break it and eliminate it,” Mohammad Hashim Shaheed Wror, Taliban’s head of Islamic proselytizing and guidance told reporters on Wednesday.
The necktie actually carries no religious significance, and was first adopted by the French from the attire worn by Croatian mercenaries during the Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648). It was later modified by the British and has since become an integral part of men’s formal wear throughout the world.
The Taliban took control of Afghanistan in the spring of 2021 after President Joe Biden’s botched U.S. withdrawal and quickly reestablished Sharia rule under its Islamic emirate after two decades. The regime barred girls from secondary education and imposed a strict dress code for women. The Taliban also demanded girls as young as 15 as war booty for its fighters in “marriage.”
“Taliban’s latest jihad on western dress, say neckties ‘resemble’ Christian cross,” C. Krishnasai, WION, July 27, 2023:
In their latest disdain towards western clothing, Taliban have expressed apprehension over neckties, claiming that they resemble a Christian cross and called for a total ban in the country.
Talking to reporters on July 26, Mohammad Hashim Shaheed Wror, head of the Invitation and Guidance Directorate, a department that seeks to guide people along proper Islamic lines, said that wearing neckties is against the Sharia law.
“Sometimes, when I go to hospitals and other areas, an Afghan Muslim engineer or doctor uses a necktie,” Mohammad Hashim Shaheed Wror said in speech broadcast by Tolo TV.
He said that the symbolism of the tie “is obvious in Islam”.
“What is a tie? It is the cross. It is ordered in Sharia that you should break it and eliminate it,” he was quoted as saying.

with this line,
” hated symbol according to the Islamic Sharia law, and must be desecrated and destroyed, a senior Taliban operative proclaimed.”
he’s braking the “international law” according to the mozlum speaking to the un before the unanimous resolution about the book of filth.
“Desecrated and Destroyed.” nah, nah, you can’t do that, can’t say that…it’s “hate speech.”
Beau Brummel wasn’t thinking of Christ when he donned the necktie and made it fashionable.

breaking…not braking….my eye problems continue. should have written “violating”
Uma says
Good Morning,
It is Okay, not a big mistake. Some English words have many meanings. In this context Brake and Break, come bit close.
Anyways these people are thinking wrong.

Uma

“In breaking news” the Smellyban has proclaimed that ANGER is to be outlawed.
Because anger makes them cross.
… “in other news” all people in Afghanistan that are cross-eyed will be executed immediately.
It’s all true folks, cross my heart & hope to die.

Sadly the shariah logic belief is and always will be stupid =ignorant- totally non creative etc etc.
As a group of INBRED PEOPLE they have nothing to give the rest of humanity -simply they lack all the good that God gives his believers that will carry them to greater heights of understanding life.
I wish they would drag Biden out of the W-house and keep him as a “pet”.

Ha haaaaa!

What about high heeled shoes..given muhammed’s cross dressing{sahih bukhari 2442}when he used to wear Aisha’s dress while channeling his god ‘allah’ in that cave with conveniently no witnesses?
Surely the taliban fashion dept would be ok with that?
After all if they were good enough for mo…: the holy men of the Taliban follow the sunnah of mo right?
SKA says
Speak about being “cross eyed!”
Tatanka says
I would rather compare the tie with a hang noose. It’s one of the reasons i never wear one.the other reason is it looks stupid.
I could not care less what a muslim thinks or says, to me they are all braindead idiots
Lyle says
Ignorance at its best !
Lyle says
Soon they won’t be allowed to “cross” the street.

In 1979, Shiite clerics banned the tie in Iran. It was associated with the bourgeois elite, who worked in AC offices and shopped in Paris.
Ditto in Zaire after the pigs booted out Farmer Jones.

Bareback Ohomo never likes to wearing a Neck Tie.
He tried to make a fashion for men not to use neck wear.
Goofy says
If only the average Christian would be as focused on the cross as these Muslims, who are doing it for the wrong reason!
A question for Mr Pope: Where can we find the sign of Abrahamic brotherhood in this situation and what can we learn from it?

Well, I think their hats look like cow shit.

The less evolved rely on symbols to guide them through their miserable lives.

The Taliban might want to change its name and also rename its country. Arabic word for student is ‘talib’. The lower case ‘t’ sure looks like a cross. Scrub Arabic language along with the names of Muslim countries and ethnic identities that contain a lower case ‘t’. No more Pashtuns and no more ‘stans’. Putting that letter on paper must be against sharia. How does a Muslim read even an Arabic language version of the Quran without seeing a cross?

What a bunch of paranoid lunatics these taliban fuckwits are. I had never thought for a second that the tie looks like a cross. I never wear ties because I don’t have to do so. These taliban knuckle draggers have the most bent and twisted, extremely sick and evil, minds ever. They are a disgrace to the human race.
Uma says
Good Morning,
During a normal routine life a human displays several physical postures.
They stretch their hands wide apart to relax the body resembling The Holy Cross..
And this Man is one among displays these postures, and what hs action?
This is a dangerous religious fantatacism and they know not what they are doing.
Regards
Uma

Thanks for the comment, Uma. These taliban creatures are, as you say, dangerous religious fanatics. They truly want to drag all of humanity back to a level of primitiveness that is frightening. This comparison of the tie with the cross is, to my mind, insane. i can only repeat what I said up above, these knuckle draggers from the taliban are truly a disgrace to the human race.They want to destroy so much of the noble and civilised aspects of human beings such as music, education for girls and women, etc. What a dark age they seek to create.
Uma says
Dear Sir Good Evening,
It is a Wicked & Monostrous Organization with dictatorship involving terrorism.
Thanks for your reply

tim gallagher says
Thanks for your reply, Uma. We can only hope that the Taliban are, someday, defeated and people in that hellish country, Afghanistan, can make some advances. It will probably never happen. Life in any Muslim country is always going be to backward and primitive since so much of islam is primitive garbage, but the Taliban are as bad as it gets.
Donovan Nuera says
What about a Bow Tie? Ha! Gotcha, ya stupid maroons!
Uma says
In addition, it is required very much to destry the Swords they use which look like The Bow and the Necktie.

Screw those monsters. I think I’ll stick posters on every lamp post showing Jesus Christ AND build a Bethlehem scene in my front yard.
