Mosque blast kills at least 18 in Afghanistan
aljazeera ^ | 2 Sep 2022

An explosion at a mosque in the city of Herat in western Afghanistan killed a high-profile pro-Taliban scholar as well as more than a dozen civilians.

Taliban official Abdul Nafi Takor confirmed Friday’s explosion and said there were dead and wounded but said he had no further details.

Mujib Rahman Ansari had spoken strongly in defence of the Taliban at a large gathering of thousands of scholars and elders organised by the group in late June, condemning anyone who stood against its administration.

Ansari is the second pro-Taliban scholar killed in an explosion in less than a month, after Rahimullah Haqqani died in a suicide attack at his madrassa in Kabul. Haqqani was known for angry speeches against the armed group ISIL (ISIS), which later claimed responsibility for his death.

Luv it. Fanatic versus Fanatic.

I’m supporting Fanatic in this fight!

May the best Fanatic win and then blow themselves up in Bomb-making 2.0!!

Could be a “hate crime” - hard to tell.

Besides, was the mosque damaged?

Will we hear the 9-1-1 call?

Are they dead? Or, “mostly dead?”

We never get enough DETAILS.

The largest cause of deaths in the Islamic populations of the world, ... appears to be other Moslems! Gee, maybe we should gather them in one place, give them their choice of weapons and let Mohammed sort it out!
