Taliban refuses to help US contain their fellow terrorists in Afghanistan

It's hard to believe the Taliban isn't doing what Biden expected them to do. Now the guys with the turbans and the beards are refusing to help the US deal with their brothers in scumduggery so concerns about the group continue to mount after their refusal to work with us to combat Islamic jihad in Afghanistan.

“We are able to tackle Daesh independently,” Taliban political spokes terrorist Suhail Shaheen, told the AP. [Daesh is the Arabic acronym for ISIS.] 

Shaheen's statement came a few hours before senior Taliban terrorists and U.S. representatives were ready to meet and greet to talk about Islamic extremist groups and also discuss the evacuation of remaining Americans and Afghans with special visas from Afghanistan. But Shaheen's words could create serious complications at the meeting.

U.S. officials will ask [aka beg] the Taliban to uphold its commitment to allow safe passage for the remaining U.S. citizens and other foreign nationals to leave Afghanistan, along with any Afghans who assisted the U.S. during the war who have not already been killed along with their children and spouses.

The AP reported:

“The weekend meetings in Doha are the first since U.S. forces withdrew from Afghanistan in late August, ending a 20-year military presence, and the Taliban rose to power in the nation. The U.S. has made it clear the talks are not a preamble to recognition. The talks also come on the heels of two days of difficult discussions between Pakistani officials and U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman in Islamabad. The focus of those talks was also Afghanistan. Pakistani officials urged the U.S. to engage with Afghanistan’s new rulers and release billions of dollars in international funds to stave off an economic meltdown.”

Pakistan officials taking the moral high ground tried to convince the softer, gentler Taliban to be more inclusive by recognizing human rights and Afghanistan’s minority ethnic and religious groups. In other words, to stop killing people for sport.

On Friday, an ISIS homicide bomber killed 46 inside an Afghan Shi'ite mosque because the Sunni Muslim Taliban believes Shi'ites aren't real Muslims and need to be destroyed just for that. 

Call me crazy but any religion that refuses to allow for theological debate and kills those who attempt it, is not a strong religion but a political movement.

Meanwhile, Shi'ite clerics have pleaded with the Taliban after the Friday attack asking for more protection at their mosques. ISIS-K claimed responsibility and identified the terrorist, who blew himself up into little morsels in order to kill a different kind of Muslim, as a Uyghur Muslim. Those are the same Muslims being held mainly as slaves by Communist China, by the way, and whom the Biden administration is looking the other way at this human rights violation.

ISIS-K said the attack targeted both Shi'ites and the Taliban for their purported willingness to expel Uyghurs to meet demands from China. It was the deadliest attack, thus far, since foreign troops left Afghanistan at the end of August. 

But give it time and you can bet they'll try to beat their record as experts believe the attack is just the beginning, as the Taliban government appears willing to appease China to receive economic benefits from the communist country’s Belt and Road initiative.

Like President Biden, the Taliban lies more often than it tells the truth. They already lied about their claim that they will allow women to hold jobs in government but let's hope and pray they will abide by what they agreed to regarding Americans and others and allow them to travel to the United States.

But don't hold your breath.
