Sound Vision Asks Muslims To Pray 'That The Taliban Don't Give Islam & The Ummah Of The Prophet A Bad Name '

Islamist Org Says To Prepare For A 'Second Sharia Freakout' Among 'Islamophobes'

Afghanistan talking points and thinking points

The Taliban have declared victory and the end of the war in Afghanistan.

America has been in dialogue with the Taliban for a couple of years. They finally signed an agreement under former President Donald Trump for the US to withdraw last year.

Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the Taliban negotiator who was released by Pakistan at President Trump's request, was humble in his first statement. He said the victory was unexpectedly swift and had no match in the world. However, he said the real test would begin now, with meeting the expectations of the people and serving them by resolving their problems.

Dear Friend -

As the term #Sharia is already trending in the Twitter world, and blame is being passed around, this is not the time to be silent. Here are some thinking points and talking points for us to consider on the fast-changing events in Afghanistan:

Important Principles:

Action items:

Tweet for Refugee Aid Now:
Tweet Secretary of State Antony Blinken @SecBlinken and leader of the USAID Jeremy Bernton @PowerUSAID to airlift relief supplies to half a million Afghan refugees who are in Kabul staying under trees and on sidewalks. The same flights that are evacuating Afghans can be used to airlift desperately needed supplies to those who have been displaced.

Support President Joe Biden's Decision to withdraw:
Tweet a thank you to President Biden @Potus for doing what two presidents failed to do: withdraw from Afghanistan. Please ask @PowerUSAID to airlift relief supplies to the displaced Afghans.

Participate in conversations:
There is a huge ongoing conversation all over the media about events in Afghanistan, the Taliban, Americans wars, and of course Sharia. Thousands of Americans are commenting on news stories and articles about what is happening. Be part of that discussion. Do not remain silent. Your perspective can bring much-needed clarification if you are connected to, and/or familiar with the country and culture.

Prepare for Second Sharia Freakout:
The Taliban will very likely implement Hudood as well as their own tribal harsh punishments as they have done in the past.That will provide Islamophobes with yet another opportunity to attack Islam, Muslims, and rekindle the Sharia freakout. Please have your spokespersons trained on talking points to tackle this. Sound Vision has three brochures on this topic for distribution to our neighbors. They are good reading for Muslim schools' classrooms as well. You can call 1-800-432-4262 to request bulk copies of these. Or you can read and download them:

Talking Points

Education of Girls in Afghanistan

In December 2020, UNICEF and the Taliban signed a formal agreement to run up to 4,000 community-based classes reaching 120,000 students in areas under the Taliban's control. This agreement includes girls' primary education. Hopefully, UNICEF and the Taliban will be able to expand the area of work now that the Taliban is in power.

Please Make Duas:

Duas for Afghanistan:

Duas for America:
President Biden made the right decision to pull out of Afghanistan. Both earlier presidents also wanted to do that. But he is in the hot seat right now, as everyone is looking to blame someone for the current chaos. Ending occupation is not easy.

Duas for the Taliban:

MIM: Sound Vision backgrounder:

Chicago's Sound Vision Foundation, though having gained 501[c]3 status [remarkably absolved from the responsibility of even filing yearly 990 financial reports, upon the claim that it is a church, though it is physically situated in a Chicago high rise office building] is a slick stealth jihadi media production house that operates almost precisely along guidelines of "civilization jihad" as outlined in the pivotal document, An Explanatory Memorandum On the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America.
