The Taliban leaders are saying in this that what they’re doing in Afghanistan is in accord with Islamic values, and to slap arrest warrants on them for applying Islam is unjustified. No one, however, will dare consider the question of whether or not they really are acting in accord with Islamic values. The implications of such an inquiry, if it were carried out honestly, would be too much for Western leftist globalist leaders to take.
“Taliban hits out at ICC over Khan’s arrest warrant requests,” by Danielle Greyman-Kennard, Jerusalem Post, January 24, 2025 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The Taliban rejected the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) decision to arrest top officials in the Afghanistan-based terror group, claiming the ICC’s accusations were baseless and “misbehavior.”
“This misbehavior further destroys the weak credibility of the said structure (ICC) and makes its status and position at the international level completely meaningless,” the Taliban’s Foreign Ministry statement claimed, condemning the ICC’s inattention at the alleged war crimes committed by the country’s previous administration.
“Like many other decisions of the (ICC), it is devoid of a fair legal basis, is a matter of double standards, and is politically motivated,” said a statement from the Foreign Ministry posted on X/Twitter. “It is regrettable that this institution has turned a blind eye to war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by foreign forces and their domestic allies during the twenty-year occupation of Afghanistan…”
The Taliban further claimed the ICC should “not attempt to impose a particular interpretation of human rights on the entire world and ignore the religious and national values of people of the rest of the world.”
The Taliban’s deputy interior minister Mohammad Nabi Omari, according to AFP, also told crowds that the ICC “can’t scare us” – adding that more efforts should be dedicated toward prosecuting Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the war in Gaza.
The statement was released after ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan said on Thursday he had requested warrants against two top Taliban officials, namely Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada and Taliban Chief Justice Abdul Hakim Haqqani.
The charges are being pursued under the crime against humanity of persecution on gender grounds, under article 7(1)(h) of the Rome Statute, the ICC shared in a release….

from foxnews: “In a move that some critics say was intended to influence the Trump administration and Congress, Karim Khan, controversial prosecutor for the International Criminal Court (ICC), filed applications for arrest warrants against Taliban senior leader Haibatullah Akhundzada and Taliban chief justice Abdul Hakim Haqqani for crimes against humanity.
The timing of the move came as the U.S. Senate prepares to vote on a bill to sanction the ICC over its request for arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister, Yoav Gallant. The House bill passed on Jan. 9 with bipartisan support.
Khan’s “move is no doubt a Hail Mary pass to deter the Senate vote,” Richard Goldberg, a senior advisor at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital. He added that some in Washington “might fall for the charade… Khan and the ICC have already shown us who and what they are. They are still investigating Americans, they are seeking the arrest of Israelis, all red lines have been crossed and there’s no evading the consequences.”

That’s pretty insightful. The ICC hasn’t lifted a finger against any islamic regime nor jihadist group – be it Taliban, Hamas, Hizbullah, Houthis, al Shabab, Boko Haram, Bangladesh’s Hefazat-e-islami, or any other. How did they suddenly discover that top Taliban leaders are suddenly worth arresting?
The US currently has sanctions planned against them, and Trump shouldn’t suddenly soften just b’cos they’ve made the right moves. They need to comprehensively go after all muslim human-rights violators, like the ones I listed above, AND drop charges against prime minister Netanyahu

“Other religious values”??? What might they be??
somehistory says
Something of “value.” Meriam Webster has this as the 3 definition : ” relative worth, utility, or importance”
And 4 “something (such as a principle or quality) intrinsically valuable or desirable”
Something of “worth.” “intrinsically”..a.k.a. **naturally** or “essentially.”
mozlums put importance on being able to control all whom they see as lesser, without value, without worth.
There is nothing *desirable* or “naturally (intrinsically) valuable” in islam. Everything about islam is evil.
It’s only “valuable” to mozlums because they want to commit every form of evil which can be imagined.
mozlums don’t wish anyone to have any power to stop them from engaging in demonic activities.

Exactly.

Muslims want to impose Islamic Law, Sharia, and Islamic values as taught in the Quran against ALL Non-Muslims. The intent is to solidify more power and control over Non-Muslims as well as Muslims. Like a Foreign Terrorist Organization(FTO) as designated by the USA Secretary of State, Islam is a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran(Quran 2:216; 4:95; 8:12,39,74; 9:5,29,41,49; 88,111,123;49:15 and more). More specifically, Islam is a Muslim Terrorist Ideology and Criminal Organization of discrimination, segregation, supremacy, genocide, polygamy, deceit, hatred, incitement, sedition, rape, terrorism, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran. Fundamentally, Islam is a Terrorist Criminal Enterprise. The FRUIT of Islam is continual WAR, terrorism, discrimination, and violence against all Non-Muslims; this FACT must be taught and broadcast to the general public to prohibit Islam, its Mosques, and its Schools. Also, Islam is an Antichrist System terrorizing Israel, Christians, and Non-Muslims. Plus, there is NO EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW in Islam or in Islamic Law(Quran 98:6-7; 9:29 and more). In Sahih Bukhari(V6,B60,N80), Abu Huraira narrates, “‘You(Muslims) are the best of peoples ever raised for mankind.’ means, the best of peoples for the people, as you bring them[Non-Muslims] with chains on their necks till they embrace Islam[see Quran 3:110].” See also Quran 69:30-32; 3:151.
Non-Muslims CANNOT have peace with Islam and its Muslims because Islam and its murderous god, Allah, demand a continuous, Muslim war against unbelievers where Non-Muslims are CRIMINALS under Islam as Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” HENCE, NON-MUSLIMS MUST MAKE ISLAM, ITS MOSQUES, ITS SCHOOLS, ITS ORGANIZATIONS, ETC. ILLEGAL UNDER THE LAW. Similarly, Islam and its many Organizations must be identified and publicly declared to be MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS for their funding, teaching, and support of terrorism, violence, and discrimination against Non-Muslims(eg. Quran 9:5,29,111 and more).
Islam promotes a terroristic, Muslim war against unbelievers when Allah in Qur’an 49:15 says, “Surely the believers are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed JIHAD with THEIR MONEY AND THEIR LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.”
Deceitful Allah promises Heavenly Paradise to Muslims for acts of Muslim killing in a terrorist war against Non-Muslims and hypocrites when Quran 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah, so they kill and are killed…”

“Taliban’s chilling warning to Marco Rubio as he threatens to place bounty on their heads”
“A Taliban ambassador issued a chilling jihad warning to new U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio after he threatened to place a bounty on their heads.
A prisoner swap between the U.S. and Afghanistan last week freed two Americans in exchange for a Taliban figure, Khan Muhammad. It comes as Russia’s Vladimir Putin is also seeking to forge an alliance with the terror group.”

“”Just hearing the Taliban is holding more American hostages than has been reported,” Rubio said in a post on X Saturday. “If this is true, we will have to immediately place a VERY BIG bounty on their top leaders, maybe even bigger than the one we had on (Osama) bin Laden.”
The Taliban’s ambassador to Qatar, Suhail Shaheen, said it was the policy of the Afghan government to resolve issues peacefully through dialogue, but he fired a warning shot at Rubio.”
