Many in the West who are uncomfortable with reality invoke the Ismaili Shia as the hope of the Islamic world, since they’re relatively peaceful. This, however, is their reality.
“Taliban Interior Ministry Employee Killed in Office Over ‘Religious Discrimination,’” by Mohammad Mohammad, Hasht-e Subh, April 30, 2026 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Local sources say that Farid Nosrat, an employee of the Taliban Ministry of Interior, has been killed by individuals affiliated with the group due to “religious discrimination.”

A sub-sect of the ismailiya shi’a are the nizaris, which was the sect followed by the Assassins cult in Alemut, Iran and Masyaf, Syria. The secretive militia that murdered their opponents, whether other shi’a (the Fatimids, who were themselves ismailiya), the sunnis (Abbasids and Seljuqs) and Christians (Crusaders). In Iran, they were wiped out by the Mongols in the 13th century
No islamic sect, given the power, has an ideology of live-and-let-live. So I’d avoid mourning any muslim who’s a victim of taqfiri violence, tragic as it may indeed be at an individual level

“No islamic sect, given the power, has an ideology of live-and-let-live.”
Correct.
Different sects, tribes, terrorist groups, all with crazy sounding names that are difficult to pronounce and spell.
But with all the groups – there’s not a nickel’s worth of difference.

I suppose they can be “relatively peaceful” as long as they remain a very small cowered and subdued minority within a sea of predominantly Sunni Islam.
And even more so when you consider the fact that Taliban austerity has links to Salafism and the Wahhabi-infested echelons of the Pakistani intelligence service ISI.
Anyone can appear rather “peaceful” that way.
Walter Sieruk says
In Afghanistan, as this article reveals “Interior Ministry employee was murder4ed because he was a Ismaili Shia. Likewise, other times it’s Sunni jihad –minded Muslims fighting and killing Shi ‘ite Muslims. Other times it’s Shi ‘ite jihad- minded Muslim fighting and killing Sunni Muslims is a very violent and deadly situation.. Still the follower of both types of Islam believe that the founder of Islam was an actual prophet of God. Likewise, both believe that the Qu ‘ran is the Word of God. All this leads to the need to understand the whole essence of Islam.
Furthermore with Islam so much in the news and in such great power in some countries, as Saudi Arabia and Iran, it’s a good thing to define what Islam really is .Of the many ways Islam may be described, one of them is that a religion of denial. Meaning that Islam denies that Jesus is the Son of God. As in the Son of God Who is God the Father. Furthermore, Islam denies the Jesus is God the Son. In addition, Islam denies that Jesus is God. Before going over these three denials of Islam it first should the stated the Bible instructs the way to tell if a prophet or religious teacher is really from and of God or not is do the teachings and doctrines of that prophet of teacher really fit in accord what is found in the Bible ? For if that prophet or teachers and teachers doctrines that are in contradiction to the Bible then that prophet is a false prophet and that religious teacher is a false teacher and thus in doctrinal error and darkness. Likewise if a religion had teachings and doctrines that are in contradiction that is religion is in error also part of the world of darkness and is therefore a false religion. As the Bible instructs in Isaiah 8:20. “To the law of the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” [K.J.V.] With this clearly stated, three things should be known.
First, that Islam denial that Jesus is the Son of God is in great contradiction to the teaching of the Bible . Which reveals the Jesus is the Son of God? As seen in ,for example Matthew 3:16,17. 16:15,16. Luke 1:35. John 3:16-18, 36. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. 5:12,13. Second, that Islam denies that Jesus is God the Son is in strong contradiction to the Bible. As found in Hebrews 1:6-8. With emphasis on verse 8. Third, Islam’s denial that Jesus is God is in great contrast to the doctrine and teaching of the Bible. That Jesus is God may be found in ,for example, John 1:1;3. Colossians 1:15-17. 2:9. Romans 9:5 Second Peter 1:1. Titus 2:13. First John 5:20.
Moreover, to further discover that the Bible teachings that Jesus is God all a person has to do is to compare the Old Testament with New Testament to see that Jesus is God. As in comparing Isaiah 45:22,23. with Philippians 2:5-11. Also by comparing Psalm 89:8,9. with Mathew 8:23-27. will reveal that Jesus is God. Likewise, by comparing Psalm 62:5-7 . with First Corinthians 10:4. shows the Deity of Jesus. Even by comparing the News Testament books together will show that Jesus is God. As in comparing Romans 14:12. with John 5:22. will show Jesus to be God. The list can go on but this should be enough, for all who are willing to see the truth, that Jesus is, indeed, the Son of God. That Jesus is God the Son and that Jesus is God.
The imams and mullahs as well as the other apologists for Islam will try to “explain’ this all away by making the claim that the Bible had been corrupted by Christians ,through time, and that’s way the Bible reads as it does.
This claim, very much, underestimate the Power of God to protect and preserve His Word ,through time , and to keep in intact and away from the corruption of men. In conclusion, in light and information of the Bible in can be seen that Islam is a awful and terrible doctrinal error concerning it teaching about the Nature of Jesus and therefore Islam is part of the world of darkness. So Islam with its strong contradictions to the Bible is a false religion, Proverbs 14:12.
So all dear Muslims are thus invited to leave the false religion of Islam and come the and receive the Jesus of the Bible who is the only way to heaven, John 14:6. and the True Light of the world. John 8:12.

How many minutes would a Baha’i member live at the Afghanistan Interior Ministry?
What stunted lives the Taliban live. The only remaining question is whether they choose those stunted lives in the modern era because of religious belief or because they are primitive simpletons unable to deal with uncertainty, complexities, and any questioning of their adopted life plan(religion).

Cavemen doing caveman stuff .Islam toxic suicidal ,with Islam nothing advances always war, chaos ,and progressive idiots in the west think they can use it and survive if it takes over.
abu taleb says
I don’t trust any Islam sect to be peaceful, because they hold Quran and hadiths as their sacred source. In my encounter with an Ahmadiyah, he defended the butcher of 900 Jews in Yathrib by Muhammad. He seemed to be a devoted Ahmadiyah who knew his belief well. So Ahmadiyah who perceived as a peaceful sect actually condones the murder of the Jews for religious reason.
WPM says
Peaceful Islamic sect? It would like labeling a tiger or a lion a non-meat eater ?Everywhere in history all over the world with every race and cultural Islam is violent. If no Jews ,Christians or others to fight they fight each other the crabs in a bucket religion pulling each other down no escape .
