that was from this mornings gospel. i thought that
was appropriate and we need to do good to the taliban
instead of making life difficult for them.
in the old days, how did we conquer the Goths? they
were attacking us in europe but they went away. what
happened? they didn't have an army to wipe them
out...

here is a link to a page on history of the goths and they sure didn't just 'go away' ...check it out...
re: doing good to the Taliban, there is a huge difference between having a disagreement (verbal or physical) with another person, then a whole culture (religious or otherwise) who invade others and attack and kill/torture or ?? because of a different belief system. We have seen the holocaust happen because of what Hitler did, would you have had all the countries Germany invaded, just sit back and welcome them with open arms while they were killing their people? Ditto that for any govt (ours included) that attack and invade ....starting with the formation of our own country decimating the natives, and so many examples through the centuries of this group, or that, invading, raping and pillaging.None of that is done in 'love' ...and to say to love those who are doing the dastardly deeds, is really not what God would have us do.
huge huge huge difference.

The Bible does not require us to turn a blind eye to
injustice.
Hitler was appeased in the same manner as what you are
advocating for the Taliban.
The leaders of their new government are international
criminals.
The Taliban in Afghanistan have named a new interim
government led by hardliners that includes no women,
minorities or opposition members.
In a controversial appointment, Sirajuddin Haqqani has
become Afghanistan’s interior minister, in charge of
police and security.
The Taliban in Afghanistan have named a new interim
government led by hardliners as the group pledges to
implement a strict Islamic rule over the country of
roughly 40 million. The new cabinet of the freshly
restored Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan contains no
women and no positions for opposition members or ethnic
or religious minorities.
Few in the international community foresaw the speed
with which the militant Islamist group would take over
Afghanistan, making a series of stunning territorial
gains in July and August as the U.S. withdrew its
troops to end its 20-year war in the country.
The Taliban’s moves so far show a failure to meet the
group’s earlier pledge of an “inclusive” government,
even as the moves put Western financial aid at risk and
do not bode well for those who wanted to see
Afghanistan rid of terrorist activity. Experts warn
that the global jihadi movement will feel emboldened by
what they see in Afghanistan as a triumph.
“For the foreseeable future, Afghanistan will be led by
senior Taliban leaders who include in many cases the
worst of the worst,” Michael Kugelman, deputy director
of the Asia Program at the Wilson Center, told CNBC on
Wednesday. Kugelman pointed specifically to members of
the Haqqani network, known as the most brutal faction
of the Taliban.
In a controversial appointment, Sirajuddin Haqqani has
become Afghanistan’s interior minister, in charge of
police and security. Haqqani is the leader of the
Haqqani network, which is known to have links to al-
Qaeda. He is on the FBI’s most wanted list and is a
designated global terrorist. The Taliban’s provision of
a safe haven to al-Qaeda in the 1990s is what led the
U.S. to invade Afghanistan after the Sept. 11 attacks.
In the years since the U.S. invasion, Haqqani has
deployed violent tactics as a deputy to the Afghan
Taliban, including using death squads for executions
and releasing videos of mass beheadings.
A history of mass casualty attacks
The Sunni Islamist Haqqani network was founded in the
1970s, fought the Soviet-backed Afghan regime in the
1980s, and later pioneered the use of suicide bombings
in Afghanistan which killed and injured thousands of
American, coalition and Afghan soldiers. High-profile
attacks include the suicide bombing at Kabul’s Serena
Hotel in 2008 and a 20-hour siege of the U.S. embassy
compound in Kabul in 2011 that left 16 Afghans dead.
It’s important to note that while some Taliban
representatives say the group will be more conciliatory
now than in the past and will abide by certain
international norms, the group itself is not a
monolith; rather, it’s composed of numerous factions
with varying degrees of extremism and propensity to
support other terrorist groups.
And while the Taliban’s main rival is ISIS-K, or the
Islamic State Khorasan, there are links between ISIS-K
and the Haqqani network, according to Sajjan Gohel,
international security director at the Asia-Pacific
Foundation.
“There has, in fact, been a tactical and strategic
convergence between the Islamic State-Khorasan and the
Haqqanis, if not the entirety of the Taliban,” Gohel
wrote in an op-ed for Foreign Policy magazine in late
August. “The Taliban are comprised of several factions,
each with their own leadership, structure, and control
of Afghan territory,” he said.
“I think you’re looking at a situation where no matter
what type of government we’re going to have in
Afghanistan, terrorism risks were going to increase
just because you have the Taliban in control,” Kugelman
said. “The Taliban is not known for trying to deny
space to its militant partners in the country, with the
exception of ISIS-K, which is their rival.”
“But let’s be clear here,” he added. “You’re going to
have several members of the Haqqani network — which has
been implicated in some of the most mass casualty
horrific terrorist attacks in Afghanistan over the
years — and several of these leaders are going to be
occupying these top spots, including the interior
ministry, and clearly that is a major cause for
concern, no matter how you slice it.”
‘Terrorist groups under the umbrella of the Taliban’
Haibatullah Akhundzada, the Taliban’s leader since his
predecessor was killed in a drone strike in 2016, will
remain the ultimate authority over the group’s
religious, political and military affairs. A hardline
cleric whose son was a suicide bomber, Akhundzada has
sworn that the new government would pursue Sharia
governance.
Muhammad Hassan Akhund, Afghanistan’s foreign minister
before the 2001 U.S. invasion, has been named prime
minister.
“The government that was rolled out today includes a
constellation of hardliners in the Taliban leadership,”
Peter Michael McKinley, a former U.S. ambassador to
Afghanistan, told CNBC on Wednesday. He noted that the
FBI has a multimillion-dollar bounty on Haqqani for
acts of terrorism against troops and civilians and that
the defense minister position was given to Mullah
Mohammad Yaqoob, son of the Taliban’s late founder,
Mullah Omar.
“So if the Taliban was looking to send a message to the
international community that it’s looking to toe a
different line from the government it headed between
1996 and 2001, this is not the best start.”
The State Department has reiterated its concerns about
the record of some of the men in the new Afghan
government and repeated its expectation that
Afghanistan will not threaten other nations and will
allow humanitarian access into the country.
Haqqani is on the FBI’s most wanted list and is a
designated global terrorist as leader of the Haqqani
network, known to have links to al-Qaeda

‘They’ wouldn’t know how to see respect if it hit ‘them’ in the face.
You don’t understand! You can NOT reason with someone who
doesn’t even want you alive!
‘There’ goal is it make everyone on earth Taliban Muslim’s! Or die.
Right here in America they do NOT want to be friends with non
Muslims. And then there’s the saying what people don’t understand
scars them. I don’t understand that train of thought.
But life isn’t fair it’s an experience.

The USA left them with a well equipped military armor. Planes, guns,
money, food. I’d say we did them a big favor, oh and then there’s the
amo.
The ACTIONS of the Taliban government is a danger to the world.
They are selling equipment to China, Iran, and only God knowS who
else.
I pray for the Afghanistan’s that are being killed by the Taliban ( their
own people) awful, awful ACTIONS are taking place.
I pray that the news I watch that does have people on the ground in
Afghanistan tell the real true. I don’t need watching news from
around the world, With a special antenna, like you brag about having
Even if I could. ( bragging is a sin)
The rest of the world is laughing their butts off at Americans for being
so stupid! USA has no respect anywhere in this world at the moment.
You know deep in your heart I speak the truth.
BTY WHATS HAPPENED TO THE REST OF YOUR FAMILY?
You never ever wanted to hear much less talk about my parent's.
..You never believed how awful my mother was to me, as a result ,
and by the Grace of our Blessed mother, and God I am a strong
person. Like it or not I DO have an opinion. I learned from the best
but with diplomacy. Which my mother never learned. I loved her on
my terms only because hers were twisted, she did give me life but if
she could have she would have aborted me said to my face! I pray
she has found peace, she sure never did here on earth.
Your own Dad told me that any argument we would have he was
sure I’d see that HE was correct. He said a lot that night. You didn’t
want to hear. Some much time, and effort it took just for me to stay
alive. You have no idea. And for the most part didn’t want to know.
Once again, the actions that took place I judge,NOT the person- that
is God’s job. Make of this post what you will. It’s all truth from my
heart.

Not that it matters any longer but ‘things’ happened while you were at
sea. My mother, at one point placed a cord of a vacuum cleaner
around my neck. W/rage on her face said “do you know how EASY it
would be to pull this cord till you No longer breathed”?
At that moment (18-years of age) I was so close to hitting my own
mom but couldn’t bring myself to do it.my sister wasn’t any help she
was married GONE. THE NIGHT I GRADUATED FOR SCHOOL my
mother fell down the stairs in the Oakland auditorium. When we met
after I handed in my robe and hat. W/ all my class mates around us
she started yelling at me out of control yelling. A big turning point in
my life all she could was yell at me called me Bitch it was all my fault
she fell and worse in front of family and class mates.
My sister did come to my aid that time and took me home w/ her.
Told mother that this was all I would remember bout my graduation.
My sister was right. It was an awful moment.
God gives courage to the people with the strongest character. Even if
they are fragile. Or more importantly very vulnerable! I was both.
