No problem. There may be a small interval to let the headlines die down, and then they’ll get all the aid they want. There’s no shortage of useful idiots.
“Taliban Spokesman Mohammad Naeem: It Is Unreasonable To Deny Afghanistan Of Foreign Aid If The Taliban Implements The Shari’a – Islam Is The Faith Of The People,” MEMRI, August 12, 2021:
Mohammad Naeem, the Spokesman for the Taliban’s Political Bureau and a member of its negotiations delegation in Qatar referred to a quote by German Foreign Minister stating that Germany would deny Afghanistan of aid if the Taliban implements the Islamic shari’a in the country, saying that this was “unreasonable.” He made his remarks in an interview that aired on Russia Today TV on August 12, 2021….
Journalist: “[The German FM] said: ‘If the Taliban takes over and implements the Islamic shar’ia, we will not give Afghanistan a single cent.’ Will the Taliban insist in implementing the Islamic shari’a, even if it leads to the denial of international aid, and to international boycott and isolation?”
Mohammad Naeem: “I think that a high-ranking official must not say such things. It is not certain whether he said this or not. In any case, this is unreasonable, because Islam is the faith of the people. It is the most important principle of the Afghan people, of whom, more than 99% are Muslims. Even if we examine international principles… Take democracy, which they advocate – shouldn’t the rule be compatible with the people’s will and values?
[…]
“It is like refusing to help a certain country unless its people renounce their faith, their will, and their identity. This is not something that a reasonable person would say.”
CogitoErgoSum says
Oh, I’m sure the Taliban would be totally against making people renounce their faith, their will and their identity. The name of their religion means SUBMISSION for crying out loud. Is there any reasonable person who does not understand that? The world is full of idiots – or at least the western world is.

Totally agree, CogitoErgoSum. I don’t know what it is with so many people and politicians in the western world. I think it is a mentality where virtue signalling, trying to constantly show how wonderfully tolerant and nice we are to everybody, even including this satanically evil thing, islam, that causes all this bullshit. The idea of giving aid or anything but an obliterating bomb to the troglodytes who compose the Taliban is insane. Islam is totally barbaric and evil and deserves nothing but our contempt and our hatred. It is an evil act to help Islam, which is a blight on humanity, in any way whatsoever.

Good point, Malcolm.
Crusades Were Right says
“Aid” for barbarians (and those who accept their rule over them)?
Not today, thank you.
Bob C says
this is laughable if not scary that our government would consider it.
Eleanor says
Bojo the Clown and his Liberal Merry Band of Blinders would consider it, for sure.

Taliban: It’s unreasonable to deny us foreign aid if we implement the Sharia
……………
Muslims consider aid to be Jizya and tribute–their due. They cvonsider it “reasonable” that western taxpayers should have to pay for Muslims to institute brutal Shari’ah.
The worst thing is that many “leaders” in the west probably agree.
Glad to hear that German Finance Minister Olaf Scholz does not. But some in Germany *do* think like this:

Thanks for the link Gravenimage. I find these do gooders such as this Janine Wissler, so annoying, so stupid, so dumb. They are completely unaware of how evil their policies are.
Infidel says
But the Taliban ain’t wrong: we give aid to a lot of countries that have shariah in their books. So why should they be singled out?
Of course, it’s another story that we’re some 30 trillions in the hole and don’t have such money. But hey, modern monetary theory….
john smith says
Good points Infidel, and it’s about time we stopped altogether, pouring money in to these islamic shit holes who’s sole intention is to destroy us.
gravenimage says
Even if we had plenty of money considering funding the bloody Taliban is madness.
Westman says
Mohammad Naeem: …”It is the most important principle of the Afghan people, of whom, more than 99% are Muslims(without choice).”
It should a the free peoples choice to lock the Taliban and Afghanistan completely out of Western society, disallowing any immigration except for those who previously served the cause of freedom and became trapped in Afghanistan. The Afghan nation’s soldiers, who abandoned it to the Taliban, have written an indelible evaluation of the quagmire that Afghanistan shall always remain under Islam.
The two best choices for a hornets nest are to keep it isolated or destroy it. Associating with it is disastrous for all who attempt. Feeding it would be the very definition of insanity.
sidney penny says
Is it not for Germany to decide who ( which country, if any) they give aid to and the circumstances in which they do so?
Anyway, the Taliban has billions of dollars and can always rely on Qatar to fund them if they need more.
More about QATAR
The awarding of the 2022 FIFA World Cup to Qatar created a number of concerns and controversies regarding both Qatar’s suitability as a host country and the fairness of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) bidding process.
Criticism from a number of media outlets, sporting experts, and human rights groups highlighted problems such as Qatar’s limited football history, the high expected cost, the local climate, and Qatar’s human rights record.[1] There have been numerous allegations of bribery between the Qatar bid committee and FIFA members and executives.
Several FIFA members have since gone on record saying that the decision to award the tournament to Qatar was a “mistake” which includes Theo Zwanziger[2] and ex-president Sepp Blatter.

Yes–giving tbe World Cup to Qatar was madness.
Tom says
International aid is NOT a right and it must be earned and warranted. There is no way the Taliban deserves any assistance to impose their cruel and barbaric rule over Afghani’s.
gravenimage says
43% of Afghanistan’s GDP was foreign aid–and another large chunk was remittances from Afghans abroad. Afghanistan produces almost nothing except for opium. The very definition of an Islamic crap hole.
Raja says
Gravenimage,
It also implies that funds from Afghan diaspora can land up in the hands of those seeking our destruction. Will someone take note of this serious activity? The all-wise Left won’t tell us this.
A thousand year reign of Islamic Turkey made that nation a sick man of Europe.
Things don’t look bright for Taliban or Pakistan either !
Check Burry says
Naeem, use the billions you already have to fix the dump, you have most likely damaged as much of that place as any foreign army.
