Why is it that the teachers in this seminary seem to miss all the peaceful teachings of the Qur’an and Islam in general that are so crystal clear and obvious to non-Muslims such as Pope Francis, Emmanuel Macron, Angela Merkel, John Kerry, et al? Will any of these leaders or others like them travel to […]
Afghanistan: Many Taliban recently freed from Afghanistan prisons have rejoined the jihad
What did the mainstream analysts expect they would do? Become stockbrokers? But this does not mean we should continue the failed attempt at “nation-building” in Afghanistan. The American troops should all come home, and efforts devoted to quarantining Afghan jihadis in Afghanistan so that they can’t wage their jihad outside of that country. “Many freed […]
Turkey’s Erdogan-allied Aktif Bank reportedly facilitated money transfers for Taliban
A short-sighted focus on the bottom line, or a deep ideological kinship? Or both? “Turkey’s Aktif Bank facilitated money transfers for Taliban, porn industry – report,” Ahval News, September 21, 2020 (thanks to Henry): FinCEN Files, a number of leaked classified documents from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, shed a light on Turkey’s Aktif […]
Afghanistan talks: Taliban demand ‘Islamic system,’ existing government insists political system is ‘fully Islamic’
In Afghanistan, it was the “Islamic system,” i.e., Sharia principles, that led the Taliban to join forces with al-Qaeda to wage jihad against the U.S. government, culminating in the 9/11 jihad attacks. Now all these years later, the two sides in the ongoing “peace negotiations” are arguing over which will implement Sharia most faithfully. The […]
Afghanistan: Taliban jihadis freed from prison by the government return to the jihad
What did the mainstream analysts expect they would do? Become stockbrokers? But this does not mean we should continue the failed attempt at “nation-building” in Afghanistan. The American troops should all come home, and efforts devoted to quarantining Afghan jihadis in Afghanistan so that they can’t wage their jihad outside of that country. “Freed Taliban […]
Islamic Republic of Iran paid bounties to Taliban for targeting American troops in Afghanistan
This is one of the reasons why Qasem Soleimani was killed. And remember the storm of outrage with which the establishment media and the Leftist political elites greeted the news that he had been taken out. “US intelligence indicates Iran paid bounties to Taliban for targeting American troops in Afghanistan,” by Zachary Cohen, CNN, August […]
Afghanistan: Eight Muslims killed when the bomb they were manufacturing in a mosque blows up
A mosque? Why didn’t the mosquegoers explain to those storing this materiel that Islam was a religion of peace and that they shouldn’t thus desecrate a house of worship? No doubt that most learned of imams, Pope Francis, is on his way to Chahabar Bolak now to explain to the leaders of this mosque that […]
Virginia: Islamic scholar serving life sentence for recruiting for jihad ordered released while he pursues appeal
“Al-Timimi argued that prosecutors overstated his influence with those who traveled to Pakistan, and that he was punished for unpopular speech rather than criminal conduct.” Interesting defense. It may have been true in 2005 that jihad recruitment was “unpopular speech,” but nowadays Leftists would cheer al-Timimi on. The real “unpopular speech” today is opposition to […]
Taliban jihadi says Pakistani authorities gave him hit list of people they wanted killed
Meanwhile, Pakistan still pretends to be a foe of jihad terrorism and ally of the United States. It is long past time for this sham alliance to be repudiated. “Taliban terrorist Ehsanullah Ehsan confesses leading death squad on Pak Army’s behest,” WION, August 13, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Ehsanullah claims that after […]
Afghanistan: Government to release 400 ‘hard-core’ Taliban prisoners in bid to start peace talks
Releasing 400 Taliban jihadis doesn’t herald peace talks, but surrender talks. It has been a foregone conclusion for years that the Taliban would take over Afghanistan after the Americans left, but that is not an argument for keeping American troops in Afghanistan perpetually. The military should focus on making sure that Afghanistan does not and […]
Turkey: Muslims screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ unfurl Taliban flag inside Hagia Sophia
Erdogan’s conversion of Hagia Sophia to a mosque has encouraged and emboldened Islamic supremacists and jihadists around the world. #AfghanTaliban flag was raised in #HagiaSophia, #Turkey by pro #Taliban activists. The conversion of Hagia Sophia was a motivational message of #MuslimBrotherhood to the world’s Islamist #extremists and #terrorists. Soon, pro #ISIS activists will raise their […]
Taliban leader says the group is ‘on the threshold of establishing an Islamic government’ in Afghanistan
This is happening while mainstream analysts continue to insist that groups such as the Taliban have nothing to do with Islam. The global jihad never tires, never stops. After 1400 years, this should be abundantly clear. In seeking its own interests while attempting to humiliate the United States, the Taliban leader Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada “asserted […]
Afghanistan: Taliban murder 170 people in 17 attacks on mosques and gurudwaras since last October
Jihadi attacks on mosques are often invoked by mainstream counterterror analysts and Islamic apologists (if there is a difference there) as evidence that the jihadis are themselves un-Islamic. Actually, jihadis attack mosques because they consider the people in them to be insufficiently Islamic, or to be heretics or apostates in some way. “Afghanistan- 442 killed, […]
Taliban deny Russia paid them to kill US troops: “Jihad of the Islamic Emirate not indebted to any foreign country”
“We strongly reject this allegation. The nineteen-year Jihad of the Islamic Emirate is not indebted to the beneficence of any intelligence organ or foreign country and neither is the Islamic Emirate in need of anyone in specifying objectives.” Here again we see jihadis referring to their activities in strictly Islamic terms, while Islam is the […]
Muslims murder mosque prayer leader for announcing the funeral service of a police officer
Given the current climate in the U.S. and the Leftist/jihadist alliance, watch for this kind of thing to come to America in the not-too-distant future. “Taliban kill prayer leader of a mosque for announcing funeral of an Afghan police,” Khaama Press, June 21, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): The Taliban militants killed the […]
Taliban announces it will begin jihad against India as soon as Ramadan ends
Why not during the “month of jihad“?

India’s capital New Delhi has been terrified after this announcement. […]

The deadliest groups in order have been the Taliban, the Islamic State and al-Qaeda. “Islamic terrorist groups are known to urge their members and supporters to […]
Islamic Republic of Iran throws 57 Afghan migrants into river, Taliban say Iranians “must consider kindness”
The Taliban are angry because the Iranians seem to be neglecting this Qur’anic directive: “Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are ruthless to unbelievers, merciful to one another.” (Qur’an 48:29) The application of that passage to any individual case depends on whom one considers to be a fellow Muslim, and whom […]

Afghanistan: The nation’s last Sikhs and Hindus plead for U.S. help amid persecution and murder by jihadis
Last month, Islamic State jihadis murdered 25 people in an attack on a Sikh gurdwara in Afghanistan. Similar to the fate of Christians across the Middle East and Africa, the remaining Sikhs and Hindus in Afghanistan continue to be persecuted and slaughtered in the name of Islam. They have declared that they have been “left […]
