Remember: if you suggest that some aspects of Sharia may be incompatible with Western society and law, you’re a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.”
“O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, stone altars, and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.” (Qur’an 5:90)
A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: ““Wine is cursed from ten angles: The wine itself, the one who squeezes (the grapes etc), the one for whom it is squeezed, the one who sells it, the one who buys it, the one who carries it, the one to whom it is carried, the one who consumes its price, the one who drinks it and the one who pours it.” (Sunan Ibn Majah 3380)
“Afghan agents pour 3,000 litres of liquor into Kabul canal,” AFP, January 2, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A team of Afghan intelligence agents poured around 3,000 litres of liquor into a canal in Kabul, the country’s spy agency said on Sunday, as the new Taliban authorities crack down on the sale of alcohol.
Video footage released by the General Directorate of Intelligence (GDI) showed its agents pouring alcohol stored in barrels into the canal after seizing it during a raid in the capital.
“Muslims have to seriously abstain from making and delivering alcohol,” an intelligence official said in the footage the agency posted on Twitter on Sunday.
It was not clear when the raid was carried out or exactly when the alcohol was destroyed, but a statement issued by the agency said three dealers were arrested during the operation.
Selling and consuming alcohol was banned even under the previous Western-backed regime, but the Taliban, known for their austere brand of Islam, are stricter in their opposition to it….
Westman says
That doesn’t appear very eco-friendly for the canal and its life forms. They could have shipped it to the EU along with the production from their poppy fields.
Bikinis not Burkas says
Alcohol is not forbidden in Islam, only the truth is forbidden!
Don’t prey when you are drunk, doesn’t say you can’t drink, Allah says so!
Quran 4:43
Sahih International: O you who have believed, do not approach prayer while you are intoxicated until you know what you are saying or in a state of janabah, except those passing through [a place of prayer], until you have washed [your whole body]. And if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and find no water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and your hands [with it]. Indeed, Allah is ever Pardoning and Forgiving.
This is also the section that says women are DIRTY!
Proud Islamophobe says
The quran is filled with contradictions. This is just another one of them. Compare yours with:
.
يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلْخَمْرِ وَٱلْمَيْسِرِ ۖ قُلْ فِيهِمَآ إِثْمٌ كَبِيرٌ وَمَنَـٰفِعُ لِلنَّاسِ وَإِثْمُهُمَآ أَكْبَرُ مِن نَّفْعِهِمَا ﴿219﴾
They ask you about wine and gambling. Tell them, there are great sins in them, [even though they bring] some profit to the people, but their sin is greater than their profit.
.
إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ أَن يُوقِعَ بَيْنَكُمُ ٱلْعَدَٰوَةَ وَٱلْبَغْضَآءَ فِى ٱلْخَمْرِ وَٱلْمَيْسِرِ وَيَصُدَّكُمْ عَن ذِكْرِ ٱللَّـهِ وَعَنِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ ۖ فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّنتَهُونَ ﴿91﴾
Indeed, Satan desires to incur enmity and hatred between you through wine and gambling, and he desires to prevent you from God’s remembrance and prayer, yet will you, then give [them] up?
.
.
etc.

Happy Fish. Kafir Fish. Taliban Intelligence agents, you say? Now that’s an oxymoron.
Speaking of morons, Mohammed was apparently an epileptic. Numerous studies have shown that alcohol consumption can bring on epileptic fits in those suffering from epilepsy. Was his dictum the result of his poor tolerance to alcohol? Just add it to the many things for which this tyrant expressed intolerance.
PMK says
Wine is generally lower in alcohol content than the liquors produced from grain. Afghans produce grains such as corn, rice, barley and wheat. Was their product more like a whiskey?
Another contradiction: Jesus is considered a prophet in Islam and He drank wine. Does that mean He is also cursed?
Billy Corr says
Sake is made from rice, simply fermented rather than going through the more complex process of distillation.
gravenimage says
PMK, Muslims say that the Gospels are “corrupted” by Christians. I’m sure this is how Muslims characterize Biblical accounts of Jesus drinking wine.
Infidel says
If that canal feeds into the water supply of nearby residents, the Taliban is promoting unislamic consumption of alcohol. Maybe the residents could contact their nearest IS-K representative to get those Talibani agents who emptied that liquor into the canal executed ?

Hold that thought!

Drink up me hearties, yo ho!
somehistory says
“abstain from making and delivering alcohol,”
Nothing in that statement against drinking it. They could be like the mayor of Mayberry, played by Parley Baer, who drank from the sheriff’s office water jug after Otis had poured his moonshine in it. The taste was strange, but he was not aware of why and recommended a cleaning of the jug.
Thirsty afghanis might be seen drinking canal water, and they likely feel the need after all that has happened there,

somehistory,
Just watched the episode a few days ago – absolutely hilarious!
The Andy Griffith Show (TV Series) Barney and the Governor (1963)

James
One of the all-time great series. when Barney left, it changed. I’ve watched the episodes over and over. Opie was a cute kid. Barney was funny and the Darlins’ provided some great music.,

The work of satan ?
give the Devil his due !
Keith O says
This is just one more reason to detest Islam.
Under it’s heel you can’t even enjoy a cold beer on a hot day. No wonder they are always so angry!

………………
“Intelligence”?
Yogi says
Bhahaha, Islamic intelligence, I rest my case..
PMK says
So I’m cursed. C’est la vie.
Bikinis not Burkas says
Muslims use hand sanitized full of alcohol to stop COVID-19, anything that is put on your hands gets absorbed into your body, Hand Lotion, Mercury etc.
BLOODY HYPOCRITES!
gravenimage says
Right now there is huge debate over whether hand sanitizer is Haram or not among Muslims.
Note that you will find no such debates about whether raping children or slaughtering Infidels is problematic…
OLD GUY says
I wonder when they will burn the poppy fields. Can’t see how islam can support drug use if Beer is a sin, or is it the MONEY that decides what’s a sin or not? Drug money seems to support a lot of strange bed fellows.
gravenimage says
As long as they are selling it to the “filthy Infidels”: it seems fine.
Another reason to “just say no” to drugs.
