Taliban Want New Suicide Bombers (Afghan Report 58)

 {NOTE: In this, the latest special report from a friend inside Afghanistan, we learn that the Taliban officials are urging educators to train a new generation of suicide bombers. This is an exclusive report. I am protecting the identity of my friend for his safety.}

Dear David:

Last week, in Helmand, the Taliban asked government employees to attend a seminar in which some Taliban clergymen would give information about the “morality of work.” We all joined and the meeting started with a man reciting a verse from the Quran. 

The first Talib speaker, who looked to be about 60, criticized the existing school curriculum used throughout the country, saying "America manipulated our curriculum of schools during these 20 years of occupation. They eliminated Islamic words such as Jehad, Mujahed, etc. Instead of using Tofang (weapon) for ت (t), they used Toop (ball) for it, and instead of using Jehad for J, they used Jawari (Sorghum) for it." 

He then emphasized that "every school and university student, from engineers to doctors, employees should be a felo-de-se (suicide bomber). We had such examples in Wardak, there had been many engineers and doctors who always had been ready (to carry out) suicide attacks." 

According to Dana Burde's book: “Schools for Conflict or for Peace in Afghanistan,” the Taliban-approved school curriculum inAfghanistan that used T for Tofang and J for Jehad promoted conflict and violence through textbooks and tied violence to religious obligation. This curriculum was used during the first rule of the Taliban. 

So simply put, the Taliban officials are now telling us to train the next generation of suicide bombers!

The second Talib speaker argued that only Sunni Islam is true, other sects such as Shia are inaccurate. In his point of view, Shia hasn't any place in Afghanistan. (Members of the Hazara minority are Shia.)

After him, additional Taliban Mullahs emphasized the importance of the implementation of Sharia (Islamic law) in the workplace such as not cutting beards and putting a turban on heads. None of them had any idea about how to succeed in reducing the ongoing poverty that paralyzes Afghanistan and its citizens. 

From their point of view, if the citizens implement Sharia accurately, God will solve all of Afghanistan's problems, and our afterlife will be good. They say all Afghan citizens need to do is pray on time, the men to not cut their beards, the women to cover all their bodies from head to toe, and everyone to be willing to become suicide bombers.
