Sometimes the guys in the robes have eyes that remind me of holy men. Then I hear about tribes cutting hands off thieves, which I believe only complicates the matter and causes duress in their communities. The US is working with Mexico on stuff, do they have any good neighbors?

Them muslim extremists sure will kill other muslims won’t they?! Smh

Okay Taliban took over so who’s responsible for the bombing?

The Middle East going to Middle East. 🤷‍♂️

Tristesse infinie. Faire exploser des lieux de culte de quelle religion que ce soit est toujours une mauvaise solution. La raison et la tolérance sont les seules solutions pour résoudre les éventuels conflits.

Lol 😂 it’s Allah called or demons in human flesh?

We knew this since the retirement of the American troops and others ones. The first attack had been a typical example for them. As much as the Sharia still being the fondamental tests of ruling it will happen every twice weeks. The UN must not let this situation being so worse.

And they're right back to killing each other.

I thought after taking over,there will be no such explosions, killings etc in Afghanistan

🙏🏼😔🙏🏼

Again 😓😓

Thank you for highlighting it as Shia mosque. It is important to show Taliban (Sunni extremist) is suppressing other Muslim sects.

Who is more likely responsible I wonder, the Muslim taliban or the fuckin cia?

Great 👍
