It’s not just in Afghanistan: a Pakistani Muslim cleric has said that polio vaccinations are un-Islamic. And in Nigeria, a Muslim cleric was arrested for playing a role in sparking the murders of polio workers. The polio vaccine is often seen as a Western infidel conspiracy to sterilize Muslim children. This is why the best word for […]
Afghanistan: Islamic State claims responsibility for mosque bombing that targeted Shi’ites, says perp was Uyghur
This is noteworthy, as the Taliban has said that China is friend of Afghanistan, and promised not to allow Uyghur jihadis to enter the country. An update on this story. “Islamic State group claims Afghanistan mosque bombing, says suicide bomber targeted Shiites,” by Joydeep Bose, Hindustan Times, October 9, 2021: The Islamic State of Khorasan […]
Afghanistan: Sunni Muslims murder at least 100 people in Shi’ite mosque UPDATE: Death toll revised downward to 46
The Sunni/Shi’te jihad has killed far more people than the trumped-up propaganda term “Islamophobia.” Yet no one seems particularly concerned about it as a human rights issue. Perhaps too much concern about it would in itself be “Islamophobic.” “Taliban official: At least 100 dead, wounded in Afghan blast,” Associated Press, October 8, 2021: KABUL, Afghanistan […]
Taliban pick up US weaponry left for Afghan military, worth billions of dollars
Eminently preventable, but our military was too concerned with being woke to make adequate preparations. “Taliban pick up billions’ worth of US weapons left for Afghan military,” AFP, August 14, 2021: KABUL: The US spent billions supplying the Afghan military with the tools to defeat the Taliban, but the rapid capitulation of the armed forces […]
Afghanistan: Taliban seizes US weapons and military equipment as takeover accelerates
It is good that we are getting out of Afghanistan, if we are. But this rout was eminently avoidable, if our military leaders spent less time ensuring ideological conformity among the troops and more time on their actual military responsibilities. “Taliban Seizes US Weapons and Military Equipment as Afghan Takeover Accelerates,” by Adam Kredo, Washington […]
Fresh from signing peace deal, Taliban murder 20 soldiers and cops in jihad massacres
Anyone who didn’t see this coming must be a highly paid foreign policy “expert” in Washington. And because of it, there will be new calls for U.S. troops to stay in Afghanistan indefinitely, which is the last thing they should do. It is long past time for a new strategy of containment of jihad activity […]
Afghanistan: Taliban coercing, beating locals to allege civilian deaths in Kunduz operations
“War is deceit,” said Muhammad (Bukhari 4.52.268). The “Palestinians” are past masters at this sort of thing. And the Taliban is learning. “Taliban coercing, beating locals to allege civilian deaths in Kunduz operations,” Khaama Press, March 23, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): A day after Afghan armed forces inflicted heavy casualties on Taliban […]
Taliban jihadis screaming “Allahu akbar” vow to bring Sharia to captured city of Kunduz
Sharia is already the highest law of the land in the constitution of the U.S.-backed Afghan regime, so it is unclear exactly what difference the Taliban are proposing to make. And that’s part of the problem: there is no significant difference in outlook between those we support and those we’re fighting in Afghanistan. “Taliban vow […]
Taliban seizes major city, one of the linchpins of Afghanistan’s economy
Countless numbers of lives, billions of dollars wasted, and for what? A government that is going to fall as soon as the last U.S. troops are gone. All this outrageous and tragic waste could have been avoided, but that would have required Washington establishment analysts to drop their rosy comforting fictions about Islam and Sharia, […]
