Afghanistan: At least 32 dead after mosque bombed during Friday prayers
Arutz Sheva ^ | 15/10/21

A sizable blast has occurred in the Emam Bargha Ptima mosque in Kandahar, Afghanistan, The Washington Post reported.

The explosion, caused by a suicide bomber, left at least 32 dead, a local health official said.

Hafiz Abdul Hai Abbas, the director for provincial health directorate, told The Washington Post that the attack also wounded 45 others.

“Dead bodies remain under the ruined mosque,” Abbas said, noting that the death toll is expected to rise.

The bombing took place during Friday services, when the mosque would be at its most crowded.

No group has yet taken responsibility for the incident. However, BBC Afghanistan correspondent Secunder Kermani said IS-K, a local branch of the Islamic State Group, is expected to take responsibility for the attack.

Meanwhile, the Taliban, which rules Afghanistan, said it has sent special forces members to the site to investigate the blast, the Post added.

CNN quoted Taliban spokesperson Zabiullah Mujahid, who condemned the incident and promised that the perpetrators will be "brought to justice."

I wonder if Zabiullah had his fingers crescented behind his back when he made that promise. ISIS-K has been quite the busy beaver lately. They did a similar bombing the previous Friday at a Shiite Mosque in Kunduz Province, killing 46 and wounding 140. They did claim responsibility for that one.

If we were to bomb a mosque, it would be a crime against humanity, worse than the holocaust. Which is why we never do it.

And yet mosques get bombed. By muslims. Because they don’t care. The bombing victims at the mosque? “Well, they deserved it. They were bad muslims”.

Biden finally built something back better.

Unfortunately, it’s the Taliban.

I think it’s the hard core muslims killing the moderate muslims.

Glad to hear that Afghanistan is back to normal after all those years of infidel occupation.

Muslims killing Muslims. Their god is Satan, who “was a murderer from the beginning”.

Muslims become moderate when they’re dead.

The biggest Shiite ethnic group in Afghanistan is the Hazari, immortalized in Khaled Husseini’s Kite Runner. They’re descendants of the 13th Century Mongol Horde that rode through Afghanistan, and are on the bottom rung of Afghan society, menials and servants mostly. Aside from being murderous terrorist thugs, the Taliban is also a bunch of racist SOBs, and have it in for the Hazari for being both Shiites AND descendants of the Mongols.

Quite true, not our circus and not our monkeys. But one must look for enemies of one’s enemies and befriend them where possible. Just because this all didn’t happen on TV doesn’t mean Afghanistan won’t rear up and bite someone wholesale on their collective asses when least expected, likely America, Israel and/or India. And since Biden has alienated those few translators and guides still living, should further involvement with this circus become necessary, and it probably will, whenever that happens, look for the Shiites, especially the Hazari (Yellowish skin, slanty eyes).

Yup. Fighting season’s almost over. Time to get in a few more licks before the rains come.

Again?

These animals have no respect for human life...not even fellow Muslims.

They are evil to the core.

They wouldn’t agree that Shiites are “fellow Muslims”.

I would agree that they’re evil to the core, alright. But they’re businesslike and professional, too.
