“Allah’s religion does not allow us to accept what those infidels want.”
I don’t know, maybe another $1 billion in “humanitarian aid” from the Biden administration will convince the Taliban to become moderates just like Turkey, Qatar, the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda.
The Taliban Minister Of Higher Education Neda Mohammad Nadeem would like to explain something to our diplomats and misunderstanders of Islam. (MEMRI)
Mawlawi Neda Mohammad Nadeem: “There comes some suspicion in one’s heart about why the Islamic Emirate is doing this. It does not reopen schools, does not allow co-education for women, has imposed so many hijab restrictions, does not allow women in government departments…Why does it not allow women into ministries unless they cover their head and face? And why don’t you see the national interest?
“[The answer is that] we are all Muslims. To us, Allah’s religion is the most important thing. Had the Islamic Emirate considered the development and civilization of people as their real aim, then there would have been no need for war to begin with. [We could have] handed Osama [Bin Laden] over to them, and given women freedom like they demand now. The [governmental] system was already there – why was it necessary to [sacrifice] hundreds of thousands of martyrs?
“[But] Allah’s religion does not allow us to accept what those infidels want. The hijab is commanded by Allah’s book. ‘O Prophet, tell your wives and daughters and the believers’ women to veil themselves.’ This is commanded by Allah’s book.
“Now, the infidels ask us not to declare the hijab mandatory for women and to accept this. If we accept their demands, Allah’s book says [to implement] hijab, while the infidels say [to not do so]. We have an obligation. We are Muslims and we claim [to establish] an Islamic system. We are obligated to force women to wear the hijab.
“If they impose sanctions on us, drop a nuclear [bomb] on us, start a war against us again, or have any other plan, we are still compelled to implement the commandments of our religion. In this regard, we cannot help anyone, nor can we accept anyone’s demands or worry that it will create problems for us.”
Had America just responded to 9./11 by making Afghanistan glow in the dark, we might have tested Mohammad’s theory, saved thousands of American lives and walked away from this with some self-respect.
But to be fair, the Taliban (when they weren’t being prepped by Qatar) were fairly clear about their beliefs. They played the Taquiya game of negotiating a worthless peace deal that no one with a gram of common sense seriously believed they would keep to allow America and Europe to withdraw and save some face.
Except the Taliban broke the deal, as they were bound to, to humiliate us and allow them to claim victory.
Now the Taliban have gone back to doing what they were going to do all along while benefiting from massive amounts of U.S. foreign aid.
And whatever happens in Afghanistan to the women there, Mohammad is pretty clear that the Taliban gave Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda a base of operations there because it was required by Islamic law.
As we recently saw, the Taliban have continued to harbor Al Qaeda. That has obvious implications for us.
What Mohammad is telling us is what the Jihadis have told us all along, we just refuse to listen. They believe in Sharia law and they intend to impose it by force. Negotiations are nothing but a means of buying some time while they pursue the fundamental purpose of their lives, an Islamic theocracy, not just in Afghanistan, but all over the world.
“If they impose sanctions on us, drop a nuclear [bomb] on us, start a war against us again, or have any other plan, we are still compelled to implement the commandments of our religion.”
This is Islam. We can deal with that reality or retreat into fantasies of an imaginary accommodation.
“Had the Islamic Emirate considered the development and civilization of people as their real aim, then there would have been no need for war to begin with. [We could have] handed Osama [Bin Laden] over to them, and given women freedom like they demand now.”
Civilization on our terms is not the goal. Islamic supremacism is.

That’s the problem alright. Muslims believe in this concept of god that commands that they live the lives of primitive, knuckle dragging barbarians in all aspects of life. So they treat women and girls as tenth rate creatures, just as they did back in the 7th century in Arabia, and live their lives according to that 7th century ideal in all ways. The demonstrations in Iran do seem to show that people there have had a gutful of living life in the primitive islamic way. People there must see how non-Muslims live a pleasant, more modern life and must have decided that living in the primitive way Muslims live is bullshit. Hopefully, this will happen more and more amongst muslims..

I wonder whether they get this: if they get nuked, neither they nor al Qaeda nor the women they wanna abuse will be around: that question will be moot!
PMK says
They don’t care. Martyrdom is everything to them. The people they rule over will suffer but that doesn’t matter to them, either.
DHZ says
Hypocrites. Do they really think Allah would approve of their core involvement in the heroin trade? Then there are the insurmountable obstacles facing women that are just absurd. So absurd that Allah must be stupid. Has there ever been a rape with 4 male witnesses (who didn’t participate)? Or, if a woman actually finds 4 male witnesses to her rape but one of them dies before he can testify will she be charged for committing adultery or fornication? In other words, does Allah hold women in so little regard that he would allow a victim of rape to be tortured and jailed for reporting the crime? Somehow, in the minds of the Taliban, this demonstrates Islam’s “respect” for women. Yeah, like the way a herdsman “respects” his camels. Or the way a father is permitted to sell his daughters. The Taliban members ALL know how wrong and hypocritical Muhammad Allah was about women but they like it.
Further, the denial of education to women has little basis in the Quran or Hadith and is even contradicted in a few examples. But somehow women have to get their degrees while caring for her multiple children and being chaperoned to, during and from school, and while being forced to read through a slit in her slave shroud, and being prepared to leave class at a moments notice to satisfy her husband’s or father’s always more important needs. Then there’s the whole gender segregation part of Islam forcing women to earn their degrees in fields like housewifery or women’s compliance studies where women might make up all the teachers and all the students.
At the same time the Taliban will claim they respect women more than anyone in the West does, at a press conference, right after they have beaten their wives for glancing in the direction of an adolescent boy holding a kitten.

Everything is allah’s will, so if they ‘get nuked’ that must be allah’s will also.

“Allah’s religion does not allow us to accept what those infidels want.”
Then Afghans don’t need what those infidels have. Afghanistan must be shunned by the community of nations. It needs to be made a no-go zone (or a one-way ticket) for all ‘infidels’ all over the world. The West can protect itself in two ways:
1. Anyone who was born in Afghanistan must be barred from the West, permanently.
2. Any Westerner who goes to Afghanistan can never come back. There are fifty-six OIC countries to which they can go. Any type of aid or human resources that go to Afghanistan must be administered only by fellow Muslim nations. All ‘infidels’ need to shun Afghanistan.
These measures are extreme, but we have tried everything else and nothing has worked. Not even the ‘good people’ of Afghanistan wanted anything to do with the Westerners in their midst. It’s their country. Make them live in it.

I like this idea, but this is after we’ve let in thousands of unvetted Afghans in last year. It’s like locking the stable doors after…. 🐎
PMK says
We have to start somewhere. We’re stuck with those who are here but that doesn’t mean we can’t bar all future immigration from Afghanistan. It doesn’t mean we can’t deport those who commit crimes in the US. The US restricted most immigration from the 1920’s to the 1960’s.

Taliban Minister: We’ll Harbor Al Qaeda and Abuse Women Even If America Nukes Us
…………………………………….
I’m sure Biden hears this and just writes them another check for humanitarian aid…
Scotsman48 says
Im still trying to figure out why Uncle Sam invaded Afghanistan as there was zero reason for it,unless some prick screams about 9/11 while forgetting that those jihadi nutters were mainly from Saudi Arabia..
The people of Afghanistan did NOT attack America… But then neither did the Iraqi or Libyans.
Leave them be, let them run their country the way they want, unless somebody thinks a foreign Government should tell them what they should do in their country.
Didnt America kick the British out for that very reason.
Start by vetting every single Afghani person that was airlifted out after the fall of Kabul, ask them if sharia is better than American Law, and do it live on TV and if they say sharia then send them back to the country that practices sharia, if they say American Law then they are doing this publicly, in front of their muslim buddies and suffer the results of such claims.
