The Taliban used a rocket launcher to blow up a Swedish flag in a show of rage over the Qur’an burning by Rasmus Paludan in Sweden. To think that one man in “the Scandinavian country infuriated the Islamic world” to such a great degree should prove to every Westerner what normative Islam is really about. […]
Afghanistan: ‘Virtue’ ministry promotes separating women from men as ‘fundamental Islamic value’
In September, the Taliban replaced Afghanistan’s women’s ministry with its Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. This ministry now insists that separating men and women is a fundamental Islamic value. It is. Women in Islam are inferior, and gender segregation is routine in mosques and across Islamic countries. In Iran, the […]
Afghanistan: Sunni Muslims murder 32 Shi’ites in jihad suicide bombing at Kandahar mosque
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.” “32 killed, 68 injured as blast hits Afghan mosque in Kandahar,” Reuters, October 15, 2021: A large […]
Afghanistan: Taliban storm home of female doctor, beat her and her family members
The doctor, Fahima Rahmati, is a woman. That is enough as a criterion for abuse by the Taliban, given its well-documented history. The Taliban has fashioned its interim government — “the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan” — after the Iranian regime, with jihadists from Guantanamo in government. It has already gained legitimacy from the UN indirectly […]
Taliban rename captured radio station ‘Voice of Sharia’
Once again, the Taliban demonstrate ignorance of or indifference to the West’s universal assumption that they have nothing, nothing whatsoever, to do with Islam or Sharia. “‘Voice of Sharia’: Taliban rename radio station after capturing Afghan city,” by Nick Hardinges, LBC, August 15, 2021: A radio station in Afghanistan’s second-largest city has been renamed ‘Voice […]
Afghanistan: Weapons, mines and bombs found stored in a mosque
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 Kandahar now to explain to the leaders of this mosque that “authentic […]
Afghanistan: Three US troops wounded when Afghan police officer “ally” opens fire on them
One of the chief elements of the rap sheet on me from the Southern Poverty Law Center and its allied Islamic supremacist groups such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations is that I have said that there is no reliable way to distinguish jihadis from peaceful Muslims. And here we are. “Three US troops […]
Afghanistan: Pro-Sharia Muslims injure 15 with jihad bomb outside mosque used as polling station
The Taliban consider voting to be a sinful act. Law comes from Allah and is not subject to disagreement or consensus. Voting is a feature of societies built on mandmade law, which the Taliban don’t consider Sharia to be. Does the administration really think that they can conduct fruitful negotiations with people who believe these […]
Ramadan in Afghanistan: Muslims murder five workers who were clearing land mines
The continuing presence of U.S. troops in Afghanistan is a pointless waste of lives, money, and materiel. There is no end to the war there, because it is a jihad, and no chance that Afghanistan will be transformed into a Western-style secular republic. The resistance to the jihad can be more effectively pursued in different […]
Ramadan in Afghanistan: Muslims murder at least 16, injure 38 with minivan packed with explosives
“The terrorists planned to conduct a big attack at end of Ramadan in the city among crowds of people as they went out shopping for Eid… security forces prevented a disaster from happening.” But this one did, and so the jihadis responsible can hope that Allah will be pleased with their Ramadan acts of piety.
