The Taliban is killing people in Afghanistan they find with copies of the Bible on their mobile phones, a Christian non-profit announced on Tuesday.
The Taliban, a radical Islamist terrorist organization, seized leadership of the country on Sunday after surrounding the nation’s capital, Kabul, prompting former President Ashraf Ghani to flee. The Taliban ruled Afghanistan until 2001, when the United States invaded the country, and established a brutal regime that regularly persecuted political dissidents, religious minorities, women, and anyone considered to be violating Islamic law, or sharia.
According to SAT-7, an organization that broadcasts Christian programs to churches and Christians in the Middle East and North Africa, the Taliban is using “spies and informants” to persecute the Christian minority in the country.
“We’re hearing from reliable sources that the Taliban demand people’s phones, and if they find a downloaded Bible on your device, they will kill you immediately,” said SAT-7 North America President Dr. Rex Rogers told Religion News Service. “It’s incredibly dangerous right now for Afghans to have anything Christian on their phones. The Taliban have spies and informants everywhere.”
Other Christian nonprofits and ministries that specialize in assisting persecuted Christians around the world have been sounding the alarm as well, emphasizing the ruthless nature of Taliban leadership. A Christian contact of one Release International partner described the situation as “dire” in a report published Monday. Release International is a Christian ministry that also assists persecuted Christians around the world.
“Our brothers and sisters in Christ are telling us how afraid they are. In the areas that the Taliban now control girls are not allowed to go to school and women are not allowed to leave their homes without a male companion,” said Micah, a name assigned to him to protect his identity.

Biden: "Mission accomplished!"
Democrats are jealous.
Joe likes butterscotch pudding before his nap. That’s the important thing.
“The Taliban is killing people in Afghanistan.....”
Well that IS what they do for a living.
Biden: “They are killing people who have Bibles on their phones. Hey man, we could use a few million of those people here.”
The Dems now know where to recruit to augment their vaccine door knocker teams.
"We have taken President Obama's warning about people who cling bitterly to guns and religion seriously. We have banned civilian ownership of guns and now are killing christians. We expect that total unquestioned authority over everyone will follow shortly."
But we have to remember, the security Christians have enjoyed over the last few hundred years in Western Europe and North America has been a historical aberration.
Our normal state for most of the last two thousand years all over the world has been severe persecution and martyrdom - not unlike what is happening in Kabul right now.
Not excusing it, but we have to remember how blessed we are, and why the western Church has grown "fat and lazy" - we whine when the media make fun of us, while missionaries in Africa and central Asia are being burned alive. For Jesus.
The Bible is a sacred book in Islam. Jesus is considered an important prophet in Islam.
These stories sound like “babies being killed in incubators” from 1990,
I am not suggesting the Tailiban are not evil, but this makes no sense.
bttt!
The Taliban are not some sort of religious intellectual scholars.
Cant be true- biden said noone has been killed-
Depends on your definition of “no one “..............
Clearly the enemy resides in the White House.
Quick, someone stick a Bible on his phone and drop him off in Kabul.
Wow, I would not expect any Taliban members to have bibles on their phones...especially Talibam members who are killing people.
“The Bible is a sacred book in Islam. Jesus is considered an important prophet in Islam.”
Jesus is considered a prophet, but the Bible is NOT a sacred book in Islam. They consider it to have originally been an actual revelation, but they think the current form has been altered from the original and consider anyone who reveres it an infidel.
