What do we expect, since terrorists will rule the country?

[Dages]

Man, this is really hell over there... nothing unexpected but still...

And it continues to get worse.

A top member of the CIA flew to Kabul on Monday and had a closed meeting with the head of the Taliban.  Although probably discussing extension of 31st August, there is speculation that they also discussed other things  - like dealing with IS. 🙄

 

Who knows where anything will lead.  We just have to  be prepared and wait for directions from our leader via his slave. 🙂

The Taliban is not a terrorist group. Thay are hardline Islamists. There is a difference - though it is hard to tell sometimes.

Define terrorist? No matter who fit the definition is a terrorist. The KOFTN, KOFTS and many groups has fit that definition for many years.

I agree they are all terrorists in a very broad sense. Anyone who instills terror, can be called a terrorist. We could bring it down to a parent who abuses their child. They are a terrorist under a certain definition. 

 

However, in the sense under discussion here, the Taliban do not fit the criteria of terrorists. The Taliban in this scenario are no different to any other revolutionary group that overthrows the ruler of a nation. It happens regularly and often and has done for millenia. We saw an instance of it in our drama this year.

Whoever didn't see this coming had to have been watching with their eyes closed....

I do very much agree, though, they are a particularly nasty revolutionary group. Much more so than many others and very frightening.  But I think their exposure is more than many others because of 2001 and also because of their religion.  Many other revolutions are based on power only.  The Taliban wants power and total religious control.

At the end of the day, they are all in the same basket aren't they, because as you say, they all belong to satan. They will all be destroyed soon and then there will be no more terror anywhere for anyone. Just peace and tranquility. And won't that be a relief. It will probably take us the first decade of the new world to adjust. 

 

I hope you don't think I was defending them. It was just conversation. 🙂

I think the Afghanistan citizens especially the women would disagree. Either way they i.e muslims, Taliban, ISIS, Isalam all claim to worship Allah but theres no unity and dont recognize other Muslims
