My latest in PJ Media: During their now-infamous phone call on July 23, Afghanistan’s then-President Ashraf Ghani told Old Joe Biden: “Mr. President, we are facing a full-scale invasion, composed of Taliban, full Pakistani planning and logistical support, and at least 10-15,000 international terrorists, predominantly Pakistanis thrown into this, so that dimension needs to be taken account of.” […]
Draft UN human rights resolution on Afghanistan fails to even mention Taliban
It isn’t that difficult to see why the UNHRC would dodge putting the spotlight on the Taliban. For starters, the UN Human Rights Council includes some of the worst violators of human rights, such as Pakistan, China, Cuba and Venezuela. That speaks for its credibility and efficacy. Pakistan is particularly significant here, since Pakistan and […]
Palestinian sheikh urges Taliban to ‘declare Islamic caliphate,’ ‘liberate Jerusalem’
In an open address at Al-Aqsa Mosque, a Palestinian Islamic scholar, Sheikh Issam Amira, called on the Taliban “to declare an Islamic Caliphate” and to “liberate Jerusalem.”. This should open the eyes of everyone to the thinking and doctrine behind the Palestinian jihad against Israel (and the Jews in general), but the willfully blind are […]
Washington Must Punish Pakistan For Its Support of the Taliban
In all the attention being paid to the debacle in Afghanistan, many have overlooked the Taliban’s beginnings in Pakistan, and the loyal support from Pakistan given the terrorist group right up until today’s triumph. A report is here: “As Taliban conquer Afghanistan, time to sanction Pakistan,” by Ben Cohen, Algemeiner, August 20, 2021: As […]
Pakistani ‘journalist’ says Afghanis mustn’t be allowed to enter Pakistan — but West must take them?
“Stop being the fake contractors [representors] of all the Islamic world”, said Pakistani “journalist” Irshad Bhatti ferociously. But we will return to Bhatti later. PART 1: The West Must? Amid the chaos of the non-strategic pullout of NATO forces from Afghanistan, everyone acknowledges the dire fate of the Afghanis, particularly the women: what will […]
Pakistan police drop blasphemy charges against eight-year-old Hindu boy
Some good news to report out of Pakistan for a change. International pressure was also swift when news emerged of this youngster’s arrest. The aspect not being covered, however, is the quality of life the boy and his family will now have. Imprisonment and execution for so-called “blasphemy” in Pakistan is not only a matter […]
Escalation? Pakistani Political Commentator Calls for Killing Hindus in the Wake of U.S. Withdrawal From Afghanistan
My latest in PJ Media: As the Taliban swept into Kabul, Taliban commander Muhammed Arif Mustafa told CNN: “It’s our belief that one day, mujahedin will have victory, and Islamic law will come not to just Afghanistan, but all over the world. We are not in a hurry. We believe it will come one day. […]
Lara Logan on Afghanistan: ‘The United States wants this outcome’
Watch the latest video at foxnews.com Was the world’s leading spy agency really caught flat-footed? Or is what we’re seeing in Afghanistan the desired outcome? It certainly does aid the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, our staunch “ally.”
Pakistan: ‘Pray to Allah that American forces leave Afghanistan and we kill Hindus’
Zaid Hamid makes no secret of his intentions, but in the West, if his words get any attention at all, they’ll be dismissed as fodder for “Islamophobia.” “Video: ‘Pray to Allah that American forces leave Afghanistan and we kill Hindus,’” News Track Live, August 16, 2021: …a video has now surfaced that shows the extent […]
Woman are not safe in Imran Khan’s new Pakistan
In Pakistan today, women are not safe: they are often groped in public. Mostly the individual cases are never reported, because they are never filmed. In the viral ones, hundreds grope the victim. Tear their clothes apart. Throw themselves at them. Rape them in front of their children. And then kill both the woman and […]
