| Taliban announces 'amnesty,' urges women to join government |
| 2021-08-17 |
| [AlAhram] "Taqqiya" The Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... declared an 'amnesty' across Afghanistan and urged women to join its government Tuesday, trying to calm nerves across a tense capital city that only the day before saw chaos at its airport as people tried to flee their rule. The comments by Enamullah Samangani, a member of the Taliban's cultural commission, represent the first comments on governance from a federal level across the country after their blitz across the country. While there were no major reports of abuses or fighting in Kabul, many residents have stayed home and remain fearful after the turbans' takeover saw prisons emptied and armories looted. Older generations remember their ultraconservative Islamic views, which included stonings, amputations and public executions during their rule before the U.S-led invasion that followed the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks. 'The Islamic Emirate doesn't want women to be victims' Samangani said, using the murderous Moslems' term for Afghanistan. 'They should be in government structure according to Shariah law'. He added: 'The structure of government is not fully clear, but based on experience, there should be a fully Islamic leadership and all sides should join'. Samangani remained vague on other details, however, implying people already knew the rules of Islamic law the Taliban expected them to follow. 'Our people are Moslems and we are not here to force them to Islam,' he said. Under the Taliban, which ruled in accordance with a harsh interpretation of Islamic law, women were largely confined to their homes. The hard boyz have sought to project greater moderation in recent years, but many Afghans remain skeptical. Meanwhile Tuesday, Stefano Pontecorvo, NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... 's senior civilian representative to Afghanistan, posted video online showing the runway empty with American troops on the tarmac. What appeared to be a military cargo plane could be seen in the distance from behind a chain-link fence in the footage. The runway 'is open,' he wrote on Twitter. 'I see airplanes landing and taking off'. Overnight, flight-tracking data showed a U.S. Marine Corps KC-130J Hercules plane at the airport and later taking off for Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... , home to al-Udeid Air Base and the U.S. military Central Command's forward headquarters. There were no other immediate flights seen in Afghan airspace, which has been taken over by the American military as commercial flights have been halted in the country. Across Afghanistan, the International Committee of the Red Thingy said thousands had been maimed in the fighting. Security forces and politicians handed over their provinces and bases without a fight, likely believing the two-decade Western experiment to remake Afghanistan would not survive the resurgent Taliban. The last American troops had planned to withdraw at the end of the month. Talks appeared to be continuing between the Taliban and several Afghan government officials, including former President Hamid Maybe I'll join the TalibanKarzai ...One of the more egregious mistakes of the post 9-11 era... and Abdullah Abdullah ...the former foreign minister of the Northern Alliance government, advisor to Masood, and candidate for president against both Karzai and Ghani. Dr. Abdullah was born in Kabul and is half Tadjik and half Pashtun. He also held the meaningless salaried sop position as CEO of Afghanistan, while Ghani was president... , who once headed the country's negotiating council. An official with direct knowledge of the talks, who spoke on condition of anonymity as he wasn't authorized to brief journalists, said senior Taliban leader Amir Khan Muttaqi had arrived in Kabul from Qatar. Muttaqi is a former higher education minister during the Taliban's last rule. Muttaqi had begun making contact with Afghan politicians even before Ghani fled. |

| #10 The Taliban... urged women to join its government This is a genius move. Just the other day, some midlevel poobah at the UN was demanding the Talibunnies include women in their government. Now the UN Brahmins are outflanked and the Taliban are progressive. Woo Woo! That was fun. Let's do gays next! No, this doesn't change a single thing in Afghanistan. But it does placate the international community and short-circuits any UN involvement. Now progressives can go back to hating Donald Trump with satisfied conscience. |

| #9 That's the 2021 Runway Model from a Fashion Show off the innerwebs of a Moslem country possibly UAE. Stll a traditional look. As you know, most people are naked under their cloths, so really it does serve a utilitarian purpose, keeping the sex hounds at bay. In more 'progressive Islamic countries' - burqas' are quite attractive attire for women, don't look like traditional 'sacks'.  Last image a Winter Wear Burqa |

| #8 Afghan Talib wimmen-sacks are cheap cloth and much more amorphous than that, GE9620. That photo almost makes burkas look good, except for the philosophy behind them. |

#6 online showing the runway empty with American troops on the tarmac. What appeared to be a military cargo plane could be seen in the distance from behind a chain-link fence in the footage. One trivial way the Taliban occupation force can shut down the Kabul airport is to simply let any local who wants to onto the grounds. Perhaps even spread the word that any Kabuli who wants to leave will be allowed to go. No shots need be fired. Several thousand panicking civilians can simply flood the airfield and so shut down all flights. Not enough US troops are there to deal with that possibility. |

| #5 Line of women to join the government happens to be the same line for Taliban members to pick future brides from no doubt. |

| #3 Let the morning soy boys gush over it for 30 seconds, then segway off. Nothing to see here, not he boomer taliban baddies your evil krampus elders told you about, and just exactly what Biden planned for. "Up next, how we want to keep your kids out of school and you locked up at home until you pass a purity test, and the weather report." |

| #2 Thugs and goons. Just rubbing it in. It's how islamists operate. Make the women participants in their own enslavement and tell them Allah has given them this chance. |
