Afghanistan Terrorism Report: July 2022

Following is the July 2022 installment of “Afghanistan Terrorism Report.” The authors provide a monthly analysis concerning the developing terrorist threat in Afghanistan as well as a comprehensive overview of that month’s al-Qaeda and ISIS-K propaganda.

Due to the death of Ayman al-Zawahiri at the end of July 2022, this report covers July and relevant items from the first week of August 2022 to outline ISIS-K’s initial reactions to the death of the leader of al-Qaeda. It is noteworthy that at the time of publication, al-Qaeda propaganda outlets have yet to comment on this incident.

Following the death of Zawahiri, pro-ISIS-K propaganda outlets reacted immediately, speculating that the Taliban must have invited him to stay in Kabul and that they must have cooperated with the United States to enable his killing. Pro-ISIS-K propaganda claims that this was the Taliban fulfilling their commitments under the Doha Agreement, including by pointing to the fact that the Taliban have not released a statement of condolences for the death of Zawahiri.

Rather than the Taliban cooperating with the U.S., all available information indicates that the Taliban sheltered Zawahiri in Kabul. He was killed by a U.S. drone while staying in a house in the Sherpur neighborhood of Kabul, which prior to the takeover of power by the Taliban, used to be the home of high-ranking officials of the former Afghan government. According to media reports, the house in which Zawahiri was killed belonged to the acting minister of interior of the Taliban regime, Sirajuddin Haqqani. The U.S. government officially confirmed that it was aware of Zawahiri’s location at this house for several months. Therefore, rather than being unaware of Zawahiri’s presence in Kabul, as the Taliban claim, all evidence indicates that the Haqqani network, which has historically been the link between the Taliban and al-Qaeda, actively sheltered this top global terrorist inside one of the most secure neighborhoods in the capital of Afghanistan.

While speculating about the Taliban’s involvement in the death of the al-Qaeda leader, several ISIS-K- linked propaganda posts also criticized Zawahiri, claiming that he had become a puppet of foreign intelligence services and was no longer involved in operational decision-making. Furthermore, pro-ISIS-K propaganda listed Zawahiri’s failures, such as opposing the creation of the so-called caliphate and issuing positive statements about former Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi and therefore, betraying the legacy of Osama bin Laden. For some time, pro-ISIS-K propaganda criticized Zawahiri for his closeness to the Taliban.

Interestingly, on July 14, shortly before his death, Zawahiri released a public message criticizing the concept of the nation-state and the international system, indirectly attacking the Taliban. This occurred after a meeting in Kabul at the beginning of July, where religious and tribal leaders called for the international community to recognize the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan. This meeting was also attended by the leader of the Taliban, Haibatullah Akhundzada, demonstrating the importance the regime afforded to this gathering. ISIS-K propaganda strongly criticized the declaration issued at the conclusion of the meeting. In a lengthy document released on July 11, ISIS-K-linked outlet Al-Azaim refuted each of the eleven points of the meeting’s declaration, arguing that these demands amount to apostasy.

Pro-ISIS-K propagandists continued to attempt to delegitimize the Taliban regime in other posts. In several messages on July 21, pro-ISIS-K propaganda highlighted the moral corruption of the Taliban regime, claiming that the Taliban did not punish officials accused of adultery in Bamiyan province. In the same posts, the pro-ISIS-K propagandist also recounts a now infamous case from March 2022. In March, the brother of Alam Gul Haqqani, a member of the Haqqani network and at that time the head of the Afghan passport office in the ministry of interior, was arrested while attending a party in a Kabul hotel that included alcohol, music, and the attendance of women not wearing hijab. The video of the arrest was shared widely on social media at the time.

In July, ISIS-K propaganda outlets also continued to portray a high operational tempo of terrorism attacks in Afghanistan. ISIS-K attacked the gathering of religious and tribal leaders in Kabul several times, and unsurprisingly, ISIS-K propaganda outlets reported on these attacks. After several months of ISIS-K attacks concentrating primarily in the north and east of the country, in July, ISIS-K reported an attack in Herat, the first of such attacks in the west of the country since April. In this recent attack, ISIS-K targeted a bus with Taliban military officials, killing two and wounding 20 individuals. Remarkably, attacks claimed by ISIS-K propaganda posts in Pakistan seem to gather speed. In July, ISIS-K propaganda highlighted several attacks in Pakistani cities along the border with Afghanistan. Furthermore, once again, ISIS-K claimed a rocket attack against the Uzbek town of Termez, near the northern border of Afghanistan. On July 5, media reports confirmed that five rockets fired from Afghanistan had landed in the city.

The attacks in Pakistan and Uzbekistan demonstrate that the Taliban remain unable to prevent terrorist attacks from being launched from within the country. The relationship with Uzbekistan is significant to Afghanistan, as it is the country’s largest electricity supplier, followed by Tajikistan and Iran. Interestingly, according to media reports, despite Taliban claims that international sanctions inhibit financial transfers, the Taliban transferred several million U.S. dollars to Uzbekistan to settle outstanding electricity bills at the beginning of August. This transfer also highlights the ongoing risks of the Taliban using largescale asset flows out of the country to launder proceeds from the illicit drug trade, which according to both pro-ISIS-K propaganda outlets and international media reports continues as well as for the laundering of illicit income generated by the diversion of aid.

In June, ISIS-K-linked propaganda outlets highlighted the activities of the RAND Corporation and the Special Inspector General for the Reconstruction of Afghanistan (SIGAR). On July 18, the ISIS-K linked publication “Voice of Khorasan” again commented on an international organization, this time taking aim at the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs, calling it a conspiracy. In a lengthy article, “Voice of Khorasan” warned of the activities of Pugwash and stated that ISIS-K should kill anyone cooperating with the organization. Despite Taliban representatives taking part in such gatherings in the past, it is not clear why ISIS-K propaganda chose to highlight this organization, as Pugwash announced no new reports or meetings focusing on Afghanistan in recent months.

• This week’s al-Naba had no news items regarding Afghanistan.

1. Sample of Pro-ISIS Online Chatter

• July 2: Telegram post from pro-ISIS Al-Murhifat Media which states that unlike the Taliban ISIS-K want to drive all ‘infidels’ from Afghanistan. The statement includes a passage from ISIS al-Naba 228 (released April 2, 2020).

“The Apostates in Afghanistan Will Not Rest With God’s Help

The apostate Taliban militia claims that it is in control of the situation in Afghanistan after they took power from America, but the reality belies their allegations. It is like other strikes that target them, to hide the great failure that weakens the crusaders’ confidence in them, and what they taste today is only part of the pledge that the soldiers of the Caliphate made to themselves prior to the American withdrawal, that no infidel is here in Afghanistan, and that is the goal for which the soldiers of the Caliphate are fighting in Khorasan and all the states, as stated in Al-Naba newspaper: ‘The victory that the soldiers of the Islamic State are striving to achieve is for Islam to appear in Khorasan and other parts of the land, so that it is not crowded with polytheism nor mixed by disbelief, but rather a pure master The Mighty and the Mighty, and polytheism in it will be suppressed, as our Lord, the Exalted and Most High, commanded by His saying: (And fight them until there is no persecution and the religion is for God.

“Why did the Taliban become apostates?

‘And whoever does not judge by the what the folk have revealed, they are the unbelievers’ – Quran 5:44

Disrupting parts of the Sharia to please the West, such as disabling the stoning of adulterers.

Resistance by force against groups that try to implement Sharia (abstaining sectarianism)

‘Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him, expiates those who work with the rakahs with the application is also good’

The Taliban allow, protect, and assist the Rafidah festivals while fighting those who want to end them.”

• July 3: Telegram post stating that a Taliban official transported his wife via military helicopter and Taliban leadership denied this, despite video footage showing otherwise.

“#Khorasan. The Antichrist Emirate is restoring and rehabilitating the pagan Sikh temple in Kabul under the supervision of the apostate intelligence Haqqani, Minister of Interior of the apostate militia.

It is mentioned that the Inghamisi Abu Mujammad the Tajik - may God accept him - attacked the temple of the Sikhs, inflicted evil on them, mixed the blood of the apostate with the blood of the infidel, and turned their temple in which they disbelieve in God under the protection of the Antichrist Emirate to ruin.

• July 5: Telegram post claiming that five missiles hit the city of Termez in Uzbekistan.

“#Khorasan. Shelling by five missiles targeting the Uzbek city of Termez.”

• July 6: Telegram post criticizing the Taliban for not condemning the Uzbek government for attacking their citizens during protests in the Karakalpakstan Republic area. The post states that the Taliban are only concerned with matters within their own borders.

“#Uzbekistan.  Pools of the blood of commoners at the hands of the army of the tyrant, will the #Dajjal_Emirate condemn its Muslim neighbor as you call it? They call the militia tyrant the commander of the believers falsely and slanderously, there are no believers with him except the Pashtuns, fanaticism and jihad that go beyond the borders of Afghanistan exclusively, and let the rest of the Muslims go in sixty cunning. He does not even recognize the sales of sheep tarts.”

• July 6: Telegram post asking why the Taliban wants diplomatic relations with the U.S.

“#Emirate_Dajjal. Why diplomatic relations with America?!! Is it for the sake of understanding to support Islam?! Does this fall under the ‘legal policy’?! If yes. Was it not the first thing not to engage in wars with America from the beginning?! Instead of going back to the starting point?!”

• July 6: Telegram post criticizing the Taliban for their support for the Uzbek government and calling the perpetrators of the recent missile attacks “evil spirits.”

• July 7: Telegram post stating that the opium trade is present in Uruzgan province in southern Afghanistan, and that the drug trade continues. The post alleges that Taliban leadership is involved in drug smuggling networks to Iran.

“#Khorasan. The opium drug trade appears in Uruzgan province in southern Afghanistan. Despite the continuous statements from the #Dajjal_Emirate about banning drugs, the absolute open sale of these drugs continues to this day and has little deterrent. This is due to the complicity of the leaders of the Dajjal Emirate who lead part of the drug smugglers network who oversee the supply of opium, heroin and other narcotic substances to Iran.”

• July 7: Telegram post stating that the Taliban and Uzbek authorities held a joint meeting on border security, smuggling, and combatting terrorism.

“#Khorasan. Yesterday, the officials of the Uzbekistan border and the Dajjal Emirate held a joint coordination meeting in Hairatan (the area from which the missiles were launched), ‘to ensure border security, prevent drug smuggling, communicate and coordinate to combat terrorism.’ The apostates are demonstrating against the Almohads.”

• July 7: Telegram post stating that the Taliban’s Minister of Defense presented a gift to the head of the Qatar Air Force. The post notes that Qatari air bases were used by the West to launch attacks on ISIS, resulting in the killing of civilians.

“The Minister of Defense of the Emirate of Antichrist, Mullah Yaqoub, presents his gift to the leaders of the apostate Qatar Air Force with a wide smile.

Note that the Qatar Air Force base in Al-Adhir was an air platform and is still actively used by the Crusaders to fight the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant and kill commoners in Albion, on the roads, and even in mosques and hospitals. The collusion of the Antichrist Emirate in the war against Islam in Khorasan has become clear and evident.”

• July 9: Telegram post claiming that China, on behalf of the Pakistani ISI, asked the former Afghan government not to execute Anas Haqqani.

“The only reason why the apostate Anas Haqqani was not executed by the replaced Afghan government is that China interfered with the government in Kabul at the request of the Pakistani intelligence agency.”

• July 9: Telegram post claiming that the Taliban stopped a wedding between a Sunni and Shiite. The post asks why this occurred if Sunnis and Shiites are equal as the Taliban have claimed, and that if they are not equal, questions why is the Taliban preventing ISIS-K from fighting Shiites in Afghanistan.

“#Khorasan. The Emirate of Dajjal stops a Rejectionist wedding from Hazaras with a bride who is considered to be Sunni and detains the Rejectionist groom. If the Rafidis are Muslims in the religion of the Antichrist and the tartar of the rules, then why did they prevent the wedding?! And they rant day and night that the polytheistic Rafidah are their brothers in religion and idolatry. And if they are impure infidels, then why are you protesting against those who fight them?!”

• July 9: Telegram post criticizing the Taliban for sending condolences to Japan after the assassination of Shinzo Abe. The post states that the Taliban have offered condolences to Muslim countries before after the deaths of leaders, but not non-Muslim countries.

“#Khorasan. The apostate from the religion of God, Abdul Qahar Balkhi, the official spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs tweeted, praising:

‘The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Antichrist Emirate extends its deepest condolences to the infidel government and people of Japan for the assassination of the former Japanese Buddhist tyrant Shinzo Abe.

He adds; Japan has maintained close relations with Afghanistan and, as in the past, has provided significant humanitarian assistance to the people of Afghanistan in recent times.

The people of Afghanistan consider this incident a great loss to the infidel people of Japan and sympathize with them.’

Condolences to the apostates is outdated. What is new is the condolences of the infidels.

Watch O Muslim, these are the guardians of the apostate Al-Qaeda.”

• July 10: Telegram post claiming that the Taliban attacked a young man in front of his mother.

“He opened his institute in Afghanistan and initially tried to establish contacts with members of the Dajjal Emirate, and after trying for 11 years, he finally succeeded in bringing the militia to the negotiating table with the apostate Afghan regime.

https://tolonews.com/afghanistan/pugwash-sketches-19-article-truce-plan-afghanistan

In 2015, it was Pugwash who suggested removing the #Dajjal_Emirate from the blacklist and releasing their prisoners. He also suggested to the apostate militia to open an office in Doha. They agreed that the new government would be nationalist Islamist, respectful of borders, and would not discriminate against Shiites. During the meeting, Pugwash, the Dajjal Emirate and the apostate Afghan government agreed that the ‘Islamic State; and the Caliphate are wrong and undesirable regimes.”

• July 11: Telegram post claiming that the Pugwash Conference declared that the Taliban were not a terrorist organization, and suggested that they be used by the West to fight ISIS-K.

“In 2016, Bogwash said that the Antichrist Emirate is not a terrorist, but a legitimate political party. He also indicated the possibility of using the #Dajjal_Emirate to fight the #Islamic_State. This was before 2018, when the #Dajjal_Emirate united America to fight the #Islamic_State in #Kunar.”

• July 12: Telegram post claiming that the Taliban agreed to cooperate with the UAE and Qatar in exchange for a security agreement, in which Qatar would assist with unnamed ‘military reforms’ and provide salaries for soldiers, and the UAE would manage the Kabul airport.

“The Antichrist Emirate agreed to cooperate with the UAE and Qatar, as the militia's defense minister made a trip to Qatar, which resulted in a scheme for a security agreement. He said that Doha will help Kabul carry out military reform and provide the necessary equipment and salaries for the forces of the Antichrist Emirate.

The UAE state, in turn, will manage the Kabul Airport. Earlier, the Emirati company had already secured a contract for the ground handling of aircraft in the Afghan capital. One of the conditions for transferring Kabul International Airport under the control of the Hebrew state of the Emirates was to provide job opportunities for the citizens of Afghanistan. Therefore, the Antichrist Emirate is trying to show its interest in the population and is able to defend their interests.

Meanwhile, not every element of the apostate militia is happy with these deals. Some members of the apostate militia government fear losing influence in the areas affected by cooperation, as well as the fact that they will have to implement the reforms imposed on them by the West, which is already happening.”

• July 13: Telegram post claiming that Russia sent 16 tons of humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan after the earthquakes.

“#Khorasan. The Ministry of Governmental Affairs for the Dajjal Emirate tweeted on Twitter that a 16-ton shipment of humanitarian aid from the Russian Crusader Federation has arrived in Kabul and that the victims of the recent natural disasters in Afghanistan will be assisted.”

• July 14: Telegram post stating that the head of the Salafist scholars in Kabul was murdered by unknown individuals.

“#Khorasan. Unidentified gunmen kill Sardar Wali Saqib, head of the Salafist scholars in the city of #Kabul...”

• July 17: Telegram post stating that the Taliban joined with Turkish diplomats in Kabul to celebrate the failure of the 2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt. This is portrayed as especially negative because it is a supposed celebration of democracy, and not only pro-Turkish.

“#Khorasan. Yesterday, the Turkish diplomatic mission in Kabul held a ceremony to commemorate the ‘martyrs of democracy,’ attended by the leaders of the Antichrist Emirate.

The supporters of the Ataturk tyrant ‘Kirdogan’ who perished in defense of his rule during the failed military coup in 2016 are called ‘democratic pies.’

It seems that the lords of the taratir of the apostate Al-Qaeda will lick the slayers of the Antichrist for the sake of their recognition, and it seems that the Antichrist of Jordan will reach the blasphemy of Satan.”

• July 18: Telegram post stating that cholera is spreading in Afghanistan and that health services have declined since the Taliban took over.

“#Khorasan. Cholera is spreading in the country. Hundreds of people have been infected and more than 20 have died so far. The fact that since the restoration of power in Afghanistan, the health services in this country have significantly declined...”

• July 18: Telegram post claiming that two Taliban leaders will soon travel to Turkey. The post points out that Turkey is a NATO member and states that al-Qaeda is guilty by association with the Taliban.

“Reports indicate that two leaders of the Antichrist Emirate are scheduled to enter Istanbul soon. According to frequent reports, Atatürka, an active member of the Crusader NATO, is planning to accept them.

After democratic Pakistan, Buddhist China, Qatar, Turkmenistan, Magi Iran, and Crusader Russia, Ataturk will be the seventh country to accept diplomats from the Antichrist Emirate.

The gods of the apostate base entrench their roots in the mud of apostasy voluntarily...”

• July 18: Telegram post stating that an earthquake hit Afghan southeastern provinces.

“#Khorasan. An earthquake measuring 5.1 on the Richter scale rocked this evening a number of southeastern provinces of Afghanistan.”

• July 19: Telegram post stating that the Taliban is claiming that Tajik soldiers killed in fighting between Pashtun and Tajik Taliban factions were in fact members of ISIS-K. The post suggests that the Taliban is using the threat of ISIS-K to eliminate non-Pashtun opponents.

“#Khorasan. Local sources in Samangan confirmed that the elements of the Antichrist Emirate in this province offered the gif of two of its members who perished in an internal conflict as soldiers of the Islamic State.

This is what happened between the elements of the Antichrist Emirate today (Tuesday 28) in Kart Mujahid area in the city of Ipek. According to the sources, this conflict resulted in the death of 4 militia members and the injury of 6 others.

This conflict took place between the Pashtun Taliban in Kundzi and the Tajik Taliban in Samangani. According to Pashtun Taliban sources, the corpses of Samanghani Tajik Taliban were displayed in the name of ISIS operatives at the intersection of the city of Aybak.”

• July 20: Telegram post stating that al-Qaeda will not condemn the Taliban despite the latter’s association with Turkey or other behavior. The post states that al-Qaeda would rather oppose ISIS than follow religious law.

“Al-Qaedaites, by God, will not expiate the Taliban no matter what they do, and they will say about every calamity, ‘It is not unbelief, it is not infidelity.’

People whose hearts are black, opposing the Islamic state in their view of its ruling on the groups takes precedence over following the command of God, and they do not see on the face of the earth more deserving of killing than the Mujahideen and their supporters, they are at peace, bid farewell, and pacify every infidel and do not show mercy to a supporter who falls into their hands.

Their hatred is the same as the hatred of the Rawafids, the Americans and others, and it may even be more severe!!”

• July 21: Telegram post claiming that a man arrested in Bamiyan for adultery is a friend of a high-ranking Taliban official and the relative of another high ranking official. The post alleges that another man, who worked in a supervisory role at the Department of Education in Bamiyan raped a young girl.

6. Pro-ISIS Al-Azaim Document Released July 11, 2022

The document, released by the pro-ISIS Al-Azaim foundation, is a 62-page reply to the declaration of the Taliban’s Ulema Grand Assembly, held in Kabul between June 30 and July 2. It is summarized below.

• The Taliban were given power in Doha on the condition that they institute the false religion of democracy.
• Taliban leadership has done everything possible in order to receive recognition from the United Nations.
  • The Taliban banned religious law and jihad, instituted equality of religions.
  • Members of the previous Afghan government were pardoned and, in some cases, returned to their previous positions.
• The Jews and Christians are cooperating with the Taliban, therefore the Taliban is doing their bidding.
• The Taliban participate in the banking system and receive humanitarian aid.
• Taliban leaders travel the world on diplomatic missions.
• The Taliban gathered “magicians and blasphemers from all over Afghanistan loyal to the same republic and democracy” to attend the Ulema Grand Assembly.
• The Taliban have been blinded to “anti-Islamic violations” by money coming from the West.
• In “true” sharia, there is no friendship with infidels, and there can be no protection for polytheists. The Taliban violate this. The Taliban have united with “atheist” nations to fight ISIS-K.
• The Taliban said that they “do not listen to the words of the disbelievers,” but the Taliban are following the orders of the Americans given to them during the Doha negotiations to fight ISIS-K.
• Taliban leaders have stated that the U.S. is no longer their enemy and that they want good relations with all countries.
• ISIS-K are the “obvious enemies of every tyrant, infidel and blasphemer,” and attacked the Taliban’s “un-Islamic” Loya Jirga.
• The Taliban Ulema Grand Assembly created an 11-point declaration.

• Point 1: The Islamic system will be instituted and followed in Afghanistan. The Islamic system brings peace and blessings.
• Al-Azaim response:
  •  The Islamic system is not followed. Non-Muslim holidays are allowed, fighting jihad is forbidden, refugees are deported, friendships have been made with infidels.
  • Hindus and Sikhs are allowed in Afghanistan.
  • Jizya is being denied and slavery has been abolished.
  • Apostates and traitors are not punished.
  • There is no peace in Afghanistan. There is fighting in Panjshir and Balkhab, there are armed robberies.
  • There is no justice in Afghanistan. Murderers are imprisoned (instead of executed). Pakistan was allowed to bomb Khost.
  • The Taliban eat well but the country is starving.
  • Because there is no justice in the Taliban system, it is not an Islamic system.
  • The Taliban do not fight on behalf of the honor of women. Aafia Siddiqui is in an American prison.
  • Women in Afghanistan are poor but the Taliban leadership have wealth.
  • The Taliban’s system is not Islamic but “Qatari.”
  • There are no blessings in Afghanistan, there is famine, starvation, and deprivation.
  • People sell their kidneys, water in Herat and Kandahar is drying up.

• Point 2: Renewal of allegiance to Supreme Leader of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan Hibatullah Akhundzada. Acceptance of Akhundzada as the Sharia ruler and emir of the Islamic Emirate.
• Al-Azaim response:
  • Those present at the meeting swore allegiance to an apostate.
  • How can Akhundzada be accepted as the Sharia ruler if he does not follow Sharia?

• Point 3: The Islamic Emirate emerged from the Afghan people and not through foreign influence. The Taliban has centralized governance. Strengthening this system is not only in Afghanistan’s interest, but in the interests of the regional powers and the world. The Taliban calls on the rest of the world, the United Nations, and other international organizations, especially Islamic countries and organizations to recognize the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan as a legitimate government and interact positively with it. Sanctions must end and frozen assets must be unfrozen and made available to allow for economic development and reconstruction.
• Al-Azaim response:
  • Is the government legitimate because of Islam or the people of Afghanistan?
  • The ISI supported the creation of the Taliban, so there is clearly foreign influence. Most Taliban leaders are students of “ISI madrassas and have received military and ideological training” from the ISI. The Taliban maintained offices in Pakistan, and when the U.S. invaded Afghanistan, Taliban leadership fled to Pakistan, leaving behind real fighters and refugees.
  • The relationship between the Taliban and Pakistan is one of “the master and the slave.”
  • The Taliban cannot ensure security in Afghanistan.
  • The Taliban want to be recognized by atheist countries and organizations.
  • Recognition by the UN requires the adoption of international law according to Article Four of the UN Charter:
    • “All countries that are committed to peace and accept the provisions of the Charter can join the United Nations.”
    • “These countries will be admitted to the United Nations on the recommendation of the Security Council and with the approval of the General Assembly.”
  • The Taliban are required to accept the provisions of the UN Charter before they are allowed to join. By demanding to join, the Taliban are acknowledging that they will adopt the provisions of the UN Charter.
  • The UN Charter forbids aggression, international conflicts that harm international peace. The charter also “consider(s) the believer and the infidel equal,” and calls for equality between men and women, and allows leadership by “infidels” and women.
  • International law is based on polytheism, forbids slavery, legalizes “adultery” and same sex relationships, allows “shirk of ethnicity and patriotism,” allows for the holders of land to create international borders, denies Jizya laws, considers religion optional, allegedly legalizes “prostitution,” calls for decisions made by majority, and hands over power to the UN Security Council.
  • (Al-Azaim asks) How can the Taliban claim to be an Islamic Emirate but agree to all of this?
  • According to Article 103 of the UN Charter, if the commitments of an individual country come into conflict with the UN Charter, the charter should be given priority. This is seen as giving the UN Charter priority over religious law.
  • The UN Charter calls for countries to provide military forces to act as peacekeepers.
  • The UN promotes blasphemy, accepting the UN is blasphemy, and applying it to others is blasphemy.

• Point 4: Calls on all within Afghanistan to stop the cultivation, production, trafficking, and use of narcotics.
• Al-Azaim response:
  • Narcotics have been banned for less than a year in order to drive up the price. Taliban leaders are involved in the drug trade and are profiting more now that drugs are more expensive.
  • The Taliban have not outlawed naswar (a tobacco product), cigarettes, hashish, etc. which are all drugs. Taliban forces themselves use a great deal of tobacco and hashish.

• Point 5: Calls for non-interference with neighboring countries, the region, and the world. States that Afghan territory will not be used to threaten other countries. Calls for other countries to respect Afghanistan’s internal affairs and not use their own territory to “operate against Afghanistan.”
• Al-Azaim response:
  • Borders are a form of idolatry and means that all those who share nationality, despite their religion, are united.
  • The Taliban have defended Sikhs and Hindus within Afghanistan. Acknowledging borders (and by extension sovereignty) means that the government of China is able to kill Uyghurs with impunity, and allows Iran and India to mistreat Muslims.

• Point 6: States that the Islamic system and the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan dominate the country. All armed opposition to this system is a rebellion which must be defeated.
• Al-Azaim response:
  • The Taliban has given themselves “a fake seal of Sharia.” It is not a rebellion if you are fighting against disbelief.
  • The Taliban are apostates.
  • The two main opponents of the Taliban are ISIS-K and the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan. Neither are insurgents, but the Taliban describes them both as rebels.
  • The Taliban have killed ISIS-K wounded and prisoners.
  • The Taliban have killed unarmed individuals.
  • “The Taliban militias are ignorant people, they do not care about religion or the principles of religion, but they do it for their own survival and to crush their enemy and silence the people.”
  • “There is no such thing as national interest in Islam.”

• Point 7: ISIS are Kharijites and spread corruption in Afghanistan. Helping or associating with them is illegal.
• Al-Azaim response:
  • The Taliban call us Kharijites without evidence.
  • This is a falsehood to mislead people. This is not a fatwa. The Taliban cannot prove that ISIS-K is invalid, because Pakistan cannot prove that the caliphate is invalid.
  • Calling someone a Kharijite is a takfir, and a sin.
  • ISIS-K are not Kharijites because the latter have shaved heads while ISIS-K have long hair.
  • ISIS fighters are intelligent, in Iraq and Syria they built drones and all types of weapons, and impacted the global economy.
  • Kharijites “kill the Muslims and leave the infidels.” ISIS “fights all the infidels in the world, fights all the Christians in Africa and always burns down their homes. Always attacking Sikhs…and occasionally in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan...guerrilla attacks on Pakistani army and Sikhs in Pakistan, attacks on Jews in Israel…they do not shy away from attacks in Europe. An example is the Paris attacks.”
  • The Taliban by comparison do not fight against the infidels. The Taliban in fact, share this characteristic of Kharijites in that they kill Muslims, but not infidels.
  • The Taliban do not stone adulterers, while ISIS does.
  • “The Kharijites are takfiris. One of the major hallmarks of the Kharijites is the takfir of the Companions.”
  • “The Kharijites sometimes interpret and sometimes deny the attributes of God.”
  • “The Kharijites consider the leadership of a non-Quraysh permissible.” ISIS follows a Quraysh while the Taliban does not.
  • “On the other hand, the Taliban militias have written in their laws that the Amir al-Mu'minin must be of Afghan origin and Hanafi, so the condition that he hides is that the Amir must be pure Pashtun and Kandahari or Helmandi.”
  • “The Kharijites oppose the Islamic Khilafah.”
  • “The characteristic of the Kharijites is that they stand against the Shari'a ruler.”
  • The Taliban are described as fighting against the “Shari’a ruler” because they fight against the Caliph.

• Point 8: Calls to refrain from scholars engaging in “damaging debates, as this creates divisions and anxieties among the people and leads to sedition in the nation.”
• Al-Azaim response:
  • Polytheism has taken hold. The Taliban is trying to prevent arguments against polytheism.
  • “We call on all Muslim brothers not to raise controversial issues of jurisprudence but to broadcast day and night against falsehood and false belief, reject their false beliefs and answer their false suspicions.”

• Point 9: The Islamic Emirate promotes justice, religious and modern education, health, agriculture, industry, the rights of minorities, children, women, and all inhabitants of Afghanistan within “Islamic holy law and all-round development, economic growth and balanced development.”
• Al-Azaim response:
  • The Taliban protect minority Sikhs, Hindus, and Shiites.
  • Infidels and apostates do not deserve rights. The minority groups mentioned “should be killed” or “should convert to Islam.”

• Point 10: Calls on the Afghan leadership to strengthen national unity and maintain territorial integrity. “Take positive steps for the realization of national interests, prevention of poverty and unemployment, and welfare of the people.”

• Al-Azaim response:
  • The Taliban wants to “strengthen the national unity from the apostate emirate, that is, to strengthen the unity with all the infidels and polytheists who live here.”
  • Afghanistan’s borders were created by the UK and Russia. This is what the Taliban are calling to strengthen and maintain.
  • Regarding national interests, the Taliban have “abandoned religion for the sake of expediency.”

• Point 11: States that the Taliban have invited expatriates to return to Afghanistan. Affirms that “Afghanistan is the home of all Afghans. No one should feel alienated here. We urge foreign dignitaries to consider the situation an opportunity to return to their homeland, refrain from engaging in biased activities at the behest of foreigners.”
• Al-Azaim response:
  • Allows “traitors, apostates, and infidels” to return.
  • These are described as individuals who have insulted Afghanistan.
  • Communists, Democrats, Sikhs, Shiites, and others should feel alienated. This is a form of polytheism.
• The Taliban want “to disguise their infidelity and apostasy.” Only the Quran and Sunnah are religion, everything else is “false and illegal.”

7. Ayman al-Zawahiri Video Released July 14, 2022

“Deal of the Century or Crusades Spanning Centuries” (Episode Six)

• Zawahiri calls for Shariah rule instead of democratic rule.
• Zawahiri speaks out against the nation-state and the international order. This can be seen as directed towards the Taliban and their attempts to be recognized by the UN.

• The Taliban were given several tasks in exchange for being given control of the country:
  • Defeat ISIS-K. This involves former Afghan government forces. The Taliban have been told that once they defeat ISIS-K, they will be allowed UN representation, to send their diplomats around the world, and they will be bribed.
  • The Taliban are allowed to rule their democratic government that is falsely called Islamic.

• It is important to keep non-believers out of your territory.

• It is forbidden to be friends with Jews and Christians.
• One should not associate with non-believers (alluding to the Taliban’s appeal to aid from other countries). Instead, one should fight them.
• Until Jews and Christians pay a tax, they should be fought.

• The U.S. has infiltrated its way into Afghanistan again. The Taliban accepts this because they are bringing money.
• Iran has sent teams to Afghanistan in the name of assistance.
