[PRESSTV] The Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
murderous Moslem group has vowed to target Afghan cops in the upcoming parliamentary elections in the violence-wracked country.

Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said in a statement on Monday that the bully boyz would pull no punches to disrupt the long-delayed vote scheduled for October 20.

"People who are trying to help in holding this process successfully by providing security should be targeted and no stone should be left unturned for the prevention and failure" of the election, Mujahid said.

Elsewhere in the statement, Mujahid described the polls as a "malicious American conspiracy" against Afghanistan.

The Taliban have ordered its bully boyz to attack authorities who are helping organize this month’s parliamentary elections in Afghanistan. They have also called on candidates and voters to boycott the polls.

The warning coincides with an increase in the number of murderous Moslem attacks in the country ahead of the polls.

A kaboom on October 2 hit an election campaign rally in eastern Afghanistan, killing at least 13 people and wounding many more.

Back in April, nearly 60 people were killed and 120 others maimed in a kaboom at the doorway of an identity card distribution and voter registration center in Kabul’s Dasht-e-Barchi area, a neighborhood where many of the Hazara

The polls were originally set to be held in 2015 following presidential elections the previous year but were repeatedly pushed back due to security fears and logistical problems.

#1  ISIS tries to drum up support from Sunni by targeting Shia. It is not working.
If the Sunni really did not want Iran taking over the entire Western Middle East.

Maybe if they would also focus on Stewardship and protection of the Shia, the Shia may not be adverse to removing that tyranny also radicalizing the region making everybody die.

Who am I kidding?
Think they would take advice from me?
