The supreme leader of Afghanistan’s ruling Taliban has declared that cross-border attacks, including those on Pakistan, are “haram,” or forbidden under Islam. By so doing, Hibatullah Akhundzada is said to have “terminated the jihad or holy war,” at least in a formal way. Defense minister Muhammad Yaqoob stated of errant Taliban forces — particularly from […]
Iran and the Taliban working together to counter the Islamic State in Afghanistan
Sunnis and Shi’a ordinarily hate each other, but in this case, these two groups have a pragmatic reason to collaborate: to eliminate a potential rival to both. “Iran and Taliban bond to counter rise of Islamic State in Afghanistan,” by Anant Mishra, India Narrative, August 6, 2023: The recent statement issued by the Iranian Foreign […]
Afghanistan: Taliban burn musical instruments, say they lead to ‘misguidance of youth and destruction of society’
“Nothing in the Quran bans music,” says Timur Kuran, a professor at Duke University. Right! “Nothing in Quran prohibits music. Nothing. Period.” So says D Tazeh, whose Twitter bio says he or she is “Global Health & Human Rights | Director @Harvard @HarvardMed | @MIT | Bringing @Tether_to Afghanistan | @AfghanEvac | Special Advisor to […]
Taliban wages jihad on Western necktie, claims it resembles Christian cross and must be ‘broken and eliminated’
Not to be outdone by the Iranian Islamic regime’s brutal enforcement of hijab, Afghanistan’s Taliban has renewed its jihad against Western dress – particularly the necktie worn by men.

Biden administration officials to meet Taliban representatives in Qatar to talk ‘humanitarian support’
Biden administration meetings with the Taliban don’t “mean any kind of indication of recognition or any kind of indication of normalization or legitimacy of the Taliban,” insisted State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel.

Taliban Destroys What Is Left of Afghanistan’s Universities

Shahabuddin […]
‘Green Energy’ Will Be Powered by Taliban Lithium
Save the planet, fund Islamic terrorism. One of the sales pitches for electric cars and assorted green energy projects was that we’d at least be able to unplug from Middle Eastern oil. But instead, we’ve become dependent on the Saudis anyway (the Saudis own 5% of Tesla) and, more crucially on China which sells us […]
Afghanistan: Christians face regular raids on their homes, frequently receive threats, and lack access to education
Why is one of the world’s most self-consciously strict adherents of Islamic law so intolerant of Christians? The pope and many others assure us that Islam is peaceful and tolerant. Why doesn’t the Taliban get this? “Freedom Focus Report: Afghanistan’s Christians Fight to Survive Under the Taliban,” International Christian Concern, July 13, 2023: 07/13/2023 Afghanistan […]
Biden Aids Al-Qaeda
Islamic terrorists are getting money, manpower and territory from the White House. At a press conference, Biden falsely claimed that Al Qaeda was no longer operating in Afghanistan. “I said al Qaeda would not be there. I said it wouldn’t be there.
