Watching the ongoing fiasco in Afghanistan, it’s hard to escape the idea that at least some people in the Biden administration are just fine with what is happening. The alternative is to think that they’re the most abjectly incompetent assemblage of “experts” in the history of mankind. While that is entirely possible, the alternative, that the Taliban are regarded more sympathetically in the capitals of Europe and North America than is generally assumed, cannot be discounted. And at a Wednesday press conference, Maryam Monsef, Canada’s minister for women and gender equality, referred to the Taliban as “our brothers.” Slip of the tongue? Not likely.
Monsef said: “I want to take this opportunity to speak to our brothers the Taliban; we call on you to ensure the safe and secure passage of any individual in Afghanistan out of the country. We call on you to immediately stop the violence, the genocide, the femicide, the destruction of infrastructure, including heritage buildings. We call on you to return immediately to the peacekeeping table, to the peace deal that was negotiated, and to ensure women and minorities voices are a part of that discussion in a meaningful way.”
When a reporter challenged her about calling the Taliban “our brothers” and asked her if this represented an opening of the Canadian government toward the jihad terror group, Monsef partially, but not completely, walked back her statement: “Hardly, the Taliban are a terrorist group and yet they claim to be Muslims. The reference to brothers is a cultural reference of course but let me be very clear, we do not support the Taliban. We are horrified that the hard-won gains of the past 20 years are at stake.”

When they tell you who they are, believe them.
Somebody supported these stupid son of a bitch liberals.
This minister needs to have a face to face meeting with the Taliban—she may just lose her head over them!
Send all the refugee brothers to Canada. Don’t bring them here, there will be a percentage of them to be radical muslims.
Did the ‘Minister for Women and Gender Equality’ threaten to behead that reporter? After all, that’s how her brothers in the Taliban handle dissidents.
this byatch should then cover herself with a trash-bag, so as not to inflame the passions of her “brothers.”
She sounds like a perfect leader for a government agency that MUST have been invented by the writers and producers for Monty Python...if only her words were funny.
Trudeau’s Insane Diverse Government
She needs to make a trip to Afghanistan & personally advocate for women with her “brothers” in the Taliban. Let’s see how that turn out.
#1 I wonder if her brothers the Taliban have a Minister for Women and Gender Equality?
This doublespeak is nothing new. Years ago Syria was a member of the UN Human Rights Commission. At the same time they completed with the N Koreans for the “honor” of being at the top of Amnesty International’s 💩list of human rights abusers. When it comes to Muslims behaving badly so called equality groups overlook the misogyny and gay hatred prevalent in Islam, all that is, pardon the pun TRUMPED by their common hatred of all things Judeo Christian and Western. Such groups seek an unholy alliance of convenience based on the dangerous ASSumption that an enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Just read that Pierre Jr is stumbling in his walkoff re-election bid. Perhaps Taliban Maryam will prove the nail in his coffin.
The irony is that she is Muslim and from Afghanistan but that term “brothers” is an appeal to the Islamists when one is desperate.
When the Muslim Brotherhood took over Egypt and women were taken off the streets and ordered to undress for “virginity exams” they called their captors “brothers” to try to stop what would happen next.
It meant excrement in the end of course.
