Ramadan is supposed to be the time during which Muslims redouble their efforts to please Allah. A hadith has a Muslim asking Muhammad: “Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward).” Muhammad replied, “I do not find such a deed.” (Bukhari 4.52.44) So what better way to increase one’s devotion to […]
UNICEF ‘blindsided’ by Taliban reneging on its pledge to allow girls to be educated
UNICEF would never have been “blindsided” and no one would be “baffled” if they had ever taken the trouble to understand the Taliban’s core beliefs and motivating ideology. But such study was foreclosed as “Islamophobic,” and naive, unconsciously ethnocentric Western Leftists projected their own beliefs, priorities and desires upon the Taliban. Now, to their shock, […]
Taliban replaces Afghan flag with flag reading ‘There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is His prophet’
Many Western “experts” will continue to insist that the Taliban has nothing, nothing whatsoever, to do with Islam, the noble religion of peace. Facts don’t matter. Being in the right group and repeating its approved slogans is what matters. “Taliban bans official Afghan tricolour flag,” ANI, March 21, 2022: The Taliban regime in Afghanistan on […]
UN votes to keep on aiding the Taliban in Afghanistan
“Earlier this month the World Bank announced more than $1 billion in humanitarian aid for Afghanistan, stating the money would go to UN agencies and international NGOs while remaining outside the control of the Taliban.” How will they make sure these funds remain outside the control of the Taliban? Neither the World Bank nor the […]
‘Kuffar will never be happy’: Muslims enraged at Taliban for issuing International Women’s Day greetings
“And the Jews will not be pleased with you, neither will the Christians, until you follow their religion.” (Qur’an 2:120) The Taliban only issued this statement to fool Western governments into forking over some aid cash. It will probably work. The Taliban probably didn’t expect this backlash. May the #8thMarch #InternationalWomensDay be auspicious for all […]
Taliban vow to uphold ‘Sharia rights’ of Afghan women
The Taliban have consistently lied about softening their stance toward women in order to gain international recognition as a legitimate government, with all the benefits that go with that recognition, particularly cash. But the Taliban are jihadis first and last. The only surprise is that anyone would ever have believed that the Taliban would consider […]
Afghanistan: Taliban clamp down on people trying to leave their Sharia paradise
Why would any believing Muslim want to leave? They’re implementing Sharia, the law of Allah. What could possibly be the downside? “Taliban ban Afghans from evacuating amid massive security sweep,” AFP, February 28, 2022: The Taliban have clamped down on Afghans leaving the country as, separately, their forces continue a massive security sweep, going house-to-house […]
Muslim father hires hitman for $70,000 to kill daughter who left Islam, married Jewish man, and became a porn star
That Mohammed Patman would be appalled by his daughter becoming a porn star is understandable, although it’s hard to tell whether or not he was more angered by her leaving Islam and marrying a Jewish man. But being appalled is one thing, and trying to have her killed is quite another. In the Qur’an, a […]
Taliban: ‘All parties’ in Ukraine ‘need to desist from taking positions that could intensify violence’
The Taliban are still trying to manipulate the West into forking over more cash. It will probably work, because the infidels in the European Union and Washington, D.C. are so infinitely stupid, and so very eager to be fooled. “Five months after taking over Afghanistan by brute force and establishing Sharia rule, Taliban calls for […]
Taliban reject US criticism of not being ‘inclusive’ enough
Jihad Watch has been consistently warning that the Taliban is a jihadist group, similar to the Islamic State with the goal of establishing the Sharia regionally, and ultimately globally. The group is not capable of being “inclusive” by Western standards because it does not support Western ideologies. It is committed to Sharia, including martyrdom in […]
