We are not accepting refugees from Afghanistan as we don’t want Afghan militants in Russia under the cover of refugees — Putin pic.twitter.com/cOVwKbVtI1

The Quran teaches the following:

003.151
YUSUFALI: Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority: their abode will be the Fire: And evil is the home of the wrong-doers!
PICKTHAL: We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve because they ascribe unto Allah partners, for which no warrant hath been revealed. Their habitation is the Fire, and hapless the abode of the wrong-doers.
SHAKIR: We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they set up with Allah that for which He has sent down no authority, and their abode is the fire, and evil is the abode of the unjust. (The Qur’an Translations of the Qur’an, Surah 3: AL-E-IMRAN (THE FAMILY OF ‘IMRAN, THE HOUSE OF ‘IMRAN).

The Taliban, the group mainly in charge in Afghanistan believes that, as does the Islamic State and various other groups.

Newsweek reported the following:

Jake Sullivan Says Preventing Terrorist Attacks in Afghanistan ‘Priority’ Amid ISIS Threat

August 23, 2021

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that the U.S. is placing “paramount priority” on fielding potential terrorist attacks in Afghanistan, following reports that the Islamic State group (ISIS) could target Americans in Kabul. …

“The threat is real. It’s acute. It is persistent. And it is something we’re focused on with every tool in our arsenal. Commanders on the ground have a wide variety of capabilities they’re using to defend the air field against a potential terrorist attack. We’re working hard with our intelligence community to try to isolate and determine where an attack might come from,” Sullivan said. https://www.newsweek.com/jake-sullivan-says-preventing-terrorist-attacks-afghanistan-priority-amid-isis-threat-1621853

While Jake Sullivan is concerned about terrorism within Afghanistan, there are concerns that terrorists will have a base in Afghanistan as well as concerns that some refugees from Afghanistan may be terrorists (see Taliban: A potential terrorist threat?). Some leaders in Europe do not want to allow various ones in because of the risk of terrorism (see Potential terrorists? USA wants Afghani refugees, France’s Macron says EU should not)–but some will likely still end up in Europe (though places like Greece have already taken steps to try to prevent being overrun by them (see ‘Taliban going door-to-door executing Christians’ & ‘Greece Builds 25-mile Fence to Fend Off Afghan Refugees’).

Notice something related to Russia’s President Vladimir Putin:

Putin Worried That Terrorists “Disguised As Refugees” Are Flowing Out Of Afghanistan

August 23, 2021

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday offered his detailed and blunt perspective on what he sees as the lasting negative security fallout to Russia and the region from the rapid collapse of the Afghan national government and ongoing crisis.

“Our Western partners are persistently raising the question of placing refugees in Central Asian countries before obtaining visas to the United States or other countries,” he said before a meeting of officials of the ruling United Russia party. He explained this presents the potential for the spread of terrorism, given anyone can now flow out of the war-torn country “disguised as refugees”.  …

“Who are these refugees? How can we tell? There may be thousands, or even millions,” Putin posed. “The border is a thousand kilometers – they will get on everything, a car, even a donkey, and flee across the steppe.”

It follows similar remarks he made Friday expressing deep concern over the impact to Russia’s borders, while also pointing the finger at the negligent policies of Western countries in often pushing regional countries to accept fleeing Afghans. Increasingly the United States especially and some European states are openly telling Afghans who once worked with the coalition to go to nearby central Asian countries while they wait on visas to the US and Europe to process. …

“We don’t want militants showing up here under cover of refugees.”

Primarily for this reason “we are not accepting refugees from Afghanistan,” he explained, while saying the foreign ministry has the huge responsibility of prioritizing the safety of the borders and of the nation. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/putin-worried-terrorists-disguised-refugees-will-flow-out-afghanistan

That is a valid concern. Particularly in the light of the following from the Quran:

033.060
YUSUFALI: Truly, if the Hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and those who stir up sedition in the City, desist not, We shall certainly stir thee up against them: Then will they not be able to stay in it as thy neighbours for any length of time:
PICKTHAL: If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and the alarmists in the city do not cease, We verily shall urge thee on against them, then they will be your neighbours in it but a little while.
SHAKIR: If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease and the agitators in the city do not desist, We shall most certainly set you over them, then they shall not be your neighbors in it but for a little while;

033.061
YUSUFALI: They shall have a curse on them: whenever they are found, they shall be seized and slain (without mercy).
PICKTHAL: Accursed, they will be seized wherever found and slain with a (fierce) slaughter.
SHAKIR: Cursed: wherever they are found they shall be seized and murdered, a (horrible) murdering. (The Qur’an Translations of the Qur’an, Surah 33: AL-AHZAB (THE CLANS, THE COALITION,THE COMBINED FORCES). University of Southern California. Center for Muslim-Jewish Engagement. retrieved from http://www.usc.edu/org/cmje/religious-texts/quran/verses/033-qmt.php#033.060 12/04/15)

The above seems to suggest that it is acceptable to act like ordinary neighbors for a time and then react against them–that goes against the biblical teachings of loving ones neighbor.

The USA has had less terrorism the past few years than it did during the Obama Administration.

Now, expect more to hit the USA.

Many Afghanis are appalled with USA actions, are bitter, and feel betrayed.

Afghanistan may be a place more terrorists will come from.

Understand that the USA intends to allow perhaps multiple tens of thousands of Afghanis to relocate into its country. According to reports from the Los Angeles Times, Breitbart, and Washington Post, the number could range from 100-300k refugees.

The Bible warns that terrorism will happen to places like the USA. Notice the following:

5 They have corrupted themselves; They are not His children, Because of their blemish: A perverse and crooked generation. … 25 The sword shall destroy outside; There shall be terror within (Deuteronomy 32:5,25)

The idea of “terror within” shows terror will occur within the borders, and suggests also that some of the terrorists are residents.

Expect more terrorism to hit the USA, including from embittered Afghanis.

This does NOT mean that all Afghani refugees are potential terrorists, but some are.

The USA is looking at bringing in multiple tens of thousands of Afghanis. Many ‘deserve’ to be let in because of USA policies, obligations, and promises.

Yet, some of them will one day support terrorism against the USA consistent with biblical prophecies such as Deuteronomy 32:25.
