Taliban top dog: ‘Islamic values, particularly the law of promoting vice and virtue, must be fully implemented’
Muslim and non-Muslim spokesmen in the West routinely insist that the Taliban don’t implement “Islamic values,” but rather a “strict interpretation” of those values. Yet they never specify what is un-Islamic about the Taliban’s strictness, or how other understandings of Islamic law differ. Why don’t they ever clarify this point? Because the Taliban are actually applying mainstream Islamic law, and other nations that do not implement it to the same extent don’t have a different interpretation of Islamic law; they just don’t go to the effort of applying it fully. Almost no one knows this in the West, and the ignorance is particularly thick in this regard in the State Department, because this knowledge would demolish too many cherished assumptions on which our nation’s failed policies are based.
Taliban leader reiterates call for full enforcement of morality law
by Habib Mohammadi, Amu, January 14, 2025:
Hibatullah Akhundzada, the Taliban’s leader, has once again called for the strict enforcement of their controversial Law of Vice and Virtue, or the morality law, across the country.
Sources in Kandahar reported that Akhundzada delivered a nearly two-hour speech during an ideological seminar for civilian and military officials at the Kandahar Police Training Center. In his remarks, he emphasized the importance of implementing the law in its entirety, stating, “Islamic values, particularly the law of promoting vice and virtue, must be fully implemented in society.”
This, of course, is the ideocracy (or, perhaps, the idiocy) of Islam taken to its logical conclusion. If Islam continues to have its way, this will happen in Europe in the next century. Fortunately, there is a real God!
The Taliban leader first approved the law in August 2022. The 114-page document, comprising 35 articles, imposes sweeping restrictions on Afghan society, particularly targeting women and personal freedoms. It grants extensive powers to religious enforcers, known as muhtasibs or Taliban moral police, who are tasked with overseeing compliance.
Women must be invisible and silent lest a man lose control of himself.
Among the law’s most controversial provisions is the classification of a woman’s voice as awrah—a source of temptation—prohibiting it from being heard in public. It also mandates that women cover their faces and bodies entirely. The decree explicitly states that it will be enforced in accordance with Sharia law and the Hanafi school of Islamic jurisprudence….
Accused in U.K. knife attack that killed
3 girls pleads guilty to murder
A British teen pleaded guilty Monday to murdering three girls and attempting to kill 10 other people in what a prosecutor said was a “meticulously planned” stabbing rampage at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in England last summer.
The crime shocked Britain, and misinformation about the attacker sparked anti-immigrant violence across the country. The government announced it would hold an independent public inquiry into the attack, which was carried out by a U.K.-born teenager whose troubling fascination with violence saw him reported to authorities years before the crime.
The July 29 stabbings led to a week of widespread rioting across parts of England and Northern Ireland after the suspect was falsely identified as an asylum-seeker who had recently arrived in Britain by boat. He was born in Wales to Rwandan parents.
British police and government officials seem to think that because the kid was not an asylum seeker the rioting was completely unwarranted. They don't seem to realize that it is not specifically asylum seekers that right-wingers are protesting, it is Muslims, like those connected to al-Qaeda or ISIS, as Rudakubana was, and like the Pakistani child rapists of Rotherham and 40 other cities around Britain.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer welcomed Rudakubana’s conviction, but said it was “a moment of trauma for the nation.”
“There are grave questions to answer as to how the state failed in its ultimate duty to protect these young girls,” he said. “Britain will rightly demand answers, and we will leave no stone unturned in that pursuit.”
And if you believe that, I have a tropical island for sale off the coast of Labrador...
U.K. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said that a public inquiry would “get to the truth about what happened and what needs to change.”
She disclosed that Rudakubana had been referred to the government’s anti-extremism program, Prevent, when he was 13 and 14, and “was in contact with a range of different state agencies throughout his teenage years” — all of whom failed to spot the danger he posed.
The attack occurred on the first day of summer vacation when the little girls at the Hart Space, a sanctuary hidden behind a row of houses, were in a class to learn yoga and dance to the songs of Taylor Swift. What was supposed to be a day of joy turned to terror and heartbreak when Rudakubana, armed with a knife, intruded and began stabbing the girls and their teacher in the seaside town of Southport in northwest England.
“This was an unspeakable attack — one which left an enduring mark on our community and the nation for its savagery and senselessness,” Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor Ursula Doyle said. “A day which should have been one of carefree innocence; of children enjoying a dance workshop and making friendship bracelets, became a scene of the darkest horror as Axel Rudakubana carried out his meticulously planned rampage.”
Prosecutors haven’t said what they believe led Rudakubana — who was days shy of his 18th birthday — to commit the atrocities, but Doyle said that it was clear he had a “a sickening and sustained interest in death and violence.”
As do all radicalized Muslims! Which is why they need to be segregated from civilized society with all rights removed.
Rudakubana had consistently refused to speak in court and did so once again when asked to identify himself at the start of the proceedings. But he broke his silence when he was read the 16-count indictment and asked to enter pleas, replying “guilty” to each charge.
He pleaded guilty to three counts of murder, 10 counts of attempted murder, possession of a knife and additional charges related to possessing the poison ricin and for having an al-Qaida manual.
Britain to hold inquiry into how teen who carried out Southport killing rampage was not stopped
Jan. 21 (UPI) -- Britain will hold a public inquiry into failings by authorities to prevent a stabbing spree in Southport in which a teen murdered three young girls and attempted to kill eight other children and two adults.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper made the announcement in a statement Monday, hours after Axel Rudakubana, 18, pled guilty to murdering Bebe King, 6; Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7; and Alice da Silva Aguiar, 9, at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the town 210 miles northwest of London on July 29.
Rudakubana, who is expected to receive a life sentence when he is sentenced Thursday, also admitted 12 other charges including possession of a kitchen knife in a public place, producing the biological poison, ricin, and a single terrorism count for possession of an Al Qaeda military training manual.
He was 17 at the time of the attack and therefore not tried as an adult.
"Now that there has been a guilty plea, it is essential that the families and the people of Southport can get answers about how this terrible attack could take place and about why this happened to their children," said Cooper.
"The responsibility for these terrible murders and the barbaric attack lies with Axel Rudakubana. The Crown Prosecution Service has described him as 'a young man with a sickening and sustained interest in death and violence' who has 'shown no sign of remorse.'"
"But the families and the people of Southport also need answers about what happened leading up to this attack," she said.
They also need the answers as to why he attacked little girls in the first place, but it doesn't appear that Yvette's inquiry is going to ask that loaded question. This is why a major Royal Commission is needed into the grooming, trafficking, and gang rapes of young British girls by Pakistani men.
Cooper said Rudakubana had come to the attention of the police, courts, youth justice system, mental health services throughout his teenage years, including being referred three times between the ages of 13 and 14 to the government's anti-radicalization program, Prevent, but all "failed to identify the terrible risk and danger to others that he posed."
Calling it a "terrible case," Cooper said it came amid a recent history of growing numbers of teenagers being referred to Prevent, investigated by counter-terror police, or referred to other agencies over worries regarding serious violence and extremism.
"We need to face up to why this has been happening and what needs to change," said Cooper who added that while the Home Office had immediately launched a review into why Prevent had concluded Rudakubana was not a threat, independent answers were needed to get to the bottom of the tragedy, including through an inquiry.
Cooper pushed back against criticism that key information about Rudakubana's past was not released earlier saying it was withheld to ensure the prosecution's case was not prejudiced.
At a news conference Tuesday, Prime Minister Keir Starmer denied "cover-up" allegations that the information Rudakubana was on the radar of counter-terrorism authorities, but had been allowed to remain free, had been kept quiet to prevent riots sparked by his murderous rampage from spiraling out of control.
Starmer, the country's former Director of Public Prosecutions, reiterated Cooper's justification, saying the decision was made in line with the law to avoid risking the trial collapsing and that responsibility for the disorder and violence lay solely "with those who perpetrated it."
"If this trial had collapsed because I or anyone else had revealed crucial details while police were investigating, while the case was being built, while we were awaiting a verdict, then the vile individual who committed these crimes would have walked away a free man."
However, he acknowledged mistakes had been made.
Starmer said it was time to get to the truth, including whether the killings were a terrorist attack and warned that Britain faced additional danger as terrorism perpetrated by groups such as Al Qaeda was compounded by " loners, misfits, young men in their bedroom accessing all manner of material online, desperate for notoriety, sometimes inspired by traditional terrorist groups but fixated on that extreme violence, seemingly for its own sake."
