My latest in PJ Media: On Thursday afternoon, after thirteen American service members had been killed in jihad bombings in Kabul, Reuters published a story with a headline that was far more staggering and dramatic than was likely intended: “U.S. wants aid to Afghanistan to continue despite sanctions on Taliban.” Yes, as Kabul has fallen to […]
The Myth of Negotiating With the Taliban
A few points. 1. The Taliban put the Haqqani Network, which was allied with Al Qaeda, in charge of security in Kabul and was running security at the airport 2. The head of ISIS-K is a former Haqqani network commander 3. Afghan officials said that the Haqqani network and ISIS-K are the same 4. Whether […]
The Taliban: The New Mughals
Assorted historians with a penchant for Indian history have often romanticized the idea of Mughal supremacy. For the longest time, the average Indian was fed fallacies regarding the greatness of this line of invaders, and was conditioned to believe that no greater ruler than the Mughals had ever ruled over his land. Lately, the […]
Taliban cuts gay man into pieces to ‘show what they do with gay people’
The Taliban has already sent clear messages on what it intends to do with uncovered women, and now it has sent another message on how it will treat gay men. The penalty for homosexuality in Islam is death, so the Taliban is following Sharia, which is also implemented in several other Islamic countries. Under Islamic […]
Taliban blocks rescue of 173 cats and dogs, allowing them to ‘bake to death in crates’
Human life means nothing to jihadis. It would follow that their barbarity towards humans, which is constantly on display, would extend to animals. Farthing “warned the pets will bake to death in their travel crates if the eight hour stand off does not end soon.” With no word, chances are it is already too late. […]
Taliban says religious scholars will lead upcoming government in Afghanistan
The Taliban has stated “that their 20 years of struggle (Jihad) should not go in vain and religious scholars should take the lead and be the core of the upcoming government in Afghanistan.” This was the Taliban’s goal all along: to govern Afghanistan with strict Sharia law, which the Taliban is in the process 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 […]
13 Americans Killed in Kabul: ‘We did it, Joe!’
My latest in FrontPage: The nominal president of the United States looked even more tired and defeated than usual in his remarks about the jihad-martyrdom suicide bombings in which thirteen Americans were killed at what is still called Hamid Karzai International Airport, but which the Taliban should soon rename the Joe Biden International Airport, in honor of the […]
Never Forget: Biden Prioritized Getting Afghans Out of the Country
My latest in PJ Media: The news out of Kabul is tragic. Pentagon spokesman John Kirby tweeted Thursday: “We can confirm that the explosion at the Abbey Gate was the result of a complex attack that resulted in a number of US & civilian casualties. We can also confirm at least one other explosion at […]
Let Them Eat Cake: Pelosi Tweets About Women’s Equality Day After Americans Killed in Kabul
My latest in PJ Media: As at least 12 Americans were killed in a series of jihad suicide bombings in Kabul on Thursday, Nancy Pelosi (D-Smirnoff) kept her focus on what’s really important: Women’s Equality Day. Spectacularly out of touch, Pelosi fired off a series of tweets honoring women who fought for women’s rights, all while […]
