Boom Times on Chicken Street

Today's Religion of Peace™ update comes in part from the BBC:

"Kabul attack: Taliban kill 95 with ambulance bomb in Afghan capital"

Given that this alleged attack was carried out by devotees of the Religion of Peace™, we can only assume that we simply don't know the whole story.

Even since the 1994 establishment of the Taliban—a group of concerned Afghan student citizens committed to civic betterment through both domestic and international religious outreach—the organization has received an unfair amount of bad press due to occasional unfortunate mishaps like this one.

We may reasonably speculate that they were using the safest conveyance available—an ambulance—to carry away some very dangerous explosive material they happen to have discovered, when a pothole or some other unforeseeable circumstance caused the explosion in what is known as Chicken Street (yes, that's really the name), a very crowded local shopping zone close by the offices of the European Union and High Peace Council (yes, that's a real council).

This unfortunate event follows another just a week prior, in which 22 people were killed when the weapons of three extremely peaceful Islamist gunmen evidently went off accidentally and repeatedly in the lovely Intercontinental Hotel in beautiful downtown Kabul.

From the Guardian:

ISIS, another popular regional religious outreach group, recently were victims of a series of near-simultaneous misadventures outside the "Save the Children" office in Jalalabad, Afghanistan.

News reports suggest that an unfortunate and surely accidental vehicle bomb explosion caused well-meaning ISIS members' rocket-propelled grenades to go off in the direction of Save the Children's front door, rendering it less than effective as a barrier between the interior and exterior of the building, and inadvertently leading to the deaths of four people inside.

Apparently there was a subsequent misunderstanding between ISIS members and local police and military personnel which took 10 hours to resolve to everyone's satisfaction.
