He's a war hero. He has no legs. Getting to know one of my new work colleagues, an Iraq/Afghanistan war vet. He was a special forces guy, still has his legs. Speaks some Spanish also as visited Mexico and Spain I understand. Seems like a good guy.
The Koran does say fighting is ordained for humans (some even say aliens put it in our DNA but the Koran doesn't say that.) The Koran is quite interesting as it says it represents the absolute truth and that Jesus was born under a palm tree!!! However my understanding was always different to that and the mainstream Christians, in that I believed when proselytising, that he was born an Essene, not a Jew, but an Aryan gentile, in a relatively sophisticated Essene grotto hospice, underground.
Now this is not a belief shared neither by mainstream Christians neither Muslims, however God would know the importance of the palm tree since God put it in its Koran, but I don't know. No matter as the Koran says: God knows, and you don't know.
What I can tell you about Joey's legs is that there is a section in the Koran itself (not the hadiths) about chopping off the hand on the opposite side of the foot. So for example, Joey's legs are gone (for now, although he'll get them back in the resurrection), so we can now chop either hand off, if Joey has been a thief (better check his tax returns or leave an unattended cooky jar nearby). Then we fulfill the part of the Koran about chopping off hand and foot on either side. But before you consider that Koranic admonition a total joke, consider how we dispose of the dead, not those bombed into a bloody pulp but the cremated or even the 9/11 dead who were essentially cremated: their feet and hands are removed on opposite sides, as opposed to the buried with in tact limbs. Somewhat interesting.
Well I started more heavy exercise recently for first time in months. First a half hour jog recently and today a two hour bushwalk (hike) in my local area. Me and the boy went on the kayaks up the river then hiking and I even started getting sore knees.
I do remember one time in 2003 before I left for China, I had done proselytising my Jesus that I believe in over the radio waves and internet and gotten a job with a woman called Mary (not to be confused with the Myriam from the Koran). We were delivering White pages phone books which aren't even a thing anymore and I was starting to get really sore knees from it. You can imagine all the lifting. This Mary was middle aged and not especially sporty and a smoker but seemed to manage ok. Life as a noone.
Anyway yes that's true what the Koran says, warring is good for people no doubt about it. Sometimes it appears not so but you never know how things will turn out for a soul after it dies and reconnects with God in the afterlife, or Dwat, as the ancient Egyptians called it (yes they're also mentioned in the Koran with reference to Moses and pharoah).
One of my buddies these days, his Mrs specialises in prosthetic limbs, that's her profession. I do like Joey's legs, I have to say. Often on my bus lately have been passing a series of signs that say (collectively): let us wear shorts. Hmmmm I wonder if I can start selling shorts to the Taliban over Amazon???? How to say 'infidel killer (hopefully)' in Pashtun????

He's a likeable guy this Joey, I'm surprised to say this but I like his legs.
Continuing with the analysis of Joey's extremities, assuming he's never stolen even a cooky from a cooky jar in his entire life, and honest as the driven snow, I mean already the Afghanistan Taliban would say ok don't just chop his hand off over a cooky. Whereas the ISIS K would feel absolutely ideologically justified chopping off his hand just over a cooky. I mean I know I'm going to be treated better than that in the Jones household. Most likely if I say, hey I Jonesed a cooky Mrs Jones, hope you don't mind, Joey's going to be all like, oh don't worry about it, he's not going to chop my hand off. But that's the difference between a beautiful modern great nation like America and a shitty backward third world shithole. I mean I can already tell I'd rather send my kid to the Joneses for foreign exchange trip semester, not Kabul. Guess it was a close call.
But can't we still chop Joey's hand even if he's never stolen? Yes! If he's guilty of polytheism we can still chop all his digits and he can keep his palms. Just means he'll be asking you to pass him a cooky from the jar after that.
Ok fall spring whatever right? Here's a song from the state department and Jenn at the White house to everyone stranded in Afghanistan, see ya !

Ok so all these folks in this video clip, from the Koranic perspective, are guilty of lewdness. As a consequence they will be confined to a room until God makes way for them. Consider the monopoly boardgame, go to jail, go directly to jail. Everyone locked up are locked up basically for lewdness. However locking people up is a form of killing them also perhaps. I mean a lot of the Taliban leadership and others were locked up in Gitmo, essentially, as per the Koran, for lewdness. With regards to killing adulterous women, the Koran does not admonish this but cites it as a reason for claiming part of a dowry back. In 'progressive' places like Australia, there may be no fault divorce where adultery doesn't factor as a reason for differing the settlement amount, however not so in many American states where child marriage is still sanctioned. The practice of stoning adulterers predates Mohammed and is most famously referred to in the gospels. The Koran absolutely does not advise stoning adulterous women. Furthermore it refers to Jesus as the Messiah and it recommends reconciliation in questions of divorce and warring.
As a moderate Muslim, I tend to view Blinken as an infidel, Harris, also. And the 'sharia' as extreme and often unislamic. But especially Afghanistan is just a desperate backwards country and its economy is an abomination. The Koran states that God will make clear to people what they differed about.
Here's my number, call me maybe??! Delivering phone books, get the connection!
