33 killed in Afghan mosque bombing

Short version: Situation normal in Afghanistan.

A country where nothing changes......

Slightly longer version ...

More death and destruction funded and ideologically supported by our friendly oil kingdom.

What is surprising to me isn't Daesh attacking Shiites. They are mortal enemies. Daesh considers Shiites to be apostates to be killed on sight. They also consider the Taliban to be apostates because all they aspire to is to control Afghanistan where Daesh seeks a caliphate running from India to Spain. What is a surprise is to see the Taliban seemingly turning against their long time patron and founder, Pakistan. That is a very interesting new dynamic.

33 killed in Afghan mosque bombing:

Such bombings (often suicidal) at mosques are so frequent in past two decades that the news had ceased to be news anymore.

Are Muslims not tired of killing their own kind, unarmed young and old?

When will such carnage end? Or will it ever..? Why..?

Thank you US for intervening and ruining a country on the other side of the world..

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has long been launching spectacular attacks in Pakistan, most notable among them being the attack on the school in Peshawar in 2014 where children of Pakistan's military officers studied. Their opposition is against the Pakistan's military which is the defacto ruler of Pakistan and which they believe used to act in favor of American interests.

Pakistan supported Afghan Taliban in the hope that they will be able to control their neighbor after the US left the region. The Afghan Taliban and TTP were not aligned to each other in their objectives and have often been at loggerheads but since they draw their support and their recruits from the same Pashtun tribal belt on Af-Pak border they are often mistaken to be the same group.

Now that the US forces have left and Afghan Taliban is in control, Pakistan is realizing that there is no way the Afghan Taliban will give up the TTP because for them their tribal Pashtun loyalties take precedence over Pakistan's interests.

If a certain country stopped providing weapons to Al-Nusa, SDF Kurds, Israel, Saudi, neo-Nazi Ukrainian nationalists and other terriorist, the killing of civilians would severely diminish. Each of these dead Afghan civilians had a family, friends, a hope for a better future.

Pakistan created the Taliban long before 9-11. A big slice of Pakistan is populated by the same Pashto speaking tribes that for the largest ethnic group in Afghanistan. Afghan governments going back decades have never accepted the current boundary between Afghanistan and Pakistan. In the view of many Afghans, the Pashto speaking tribes of Pakistan rightfully belong to Afghanistan and they have sought with no success to change that boundary to incorporate Pashto speaking lands into Afghanistan. Being a nation founded on Islam basing much of its legitimacy on supporting the Muslim cause in Kashmir, the Pakistani foreign ministry, military and intelligence services basically created the Taliban, educating them if that is the right word for it, at these militant, fundamentalist madrasas in Pakistan, arming them and giving them training. The idea was to use a harsh form of militant Islam and Sharia Law to suppress Pashtun nationalism. The also wanted an Afghan government that was loyal only to Pakistan and nobody else. When the Soviets left Afghanistan, Pakistan armed and trained the forces of Afghan warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. There were several Pakistani supported attempted coups and military invasions of Kabul to install Hekmatyar as the Afghan leader/strongman but each time he was outmaneuvered by other Afghan warlords and the Afghan President of that era Burhanuddin Rabbani. The Pakistanis eventually gave up on Hekmatyar and threw their support behind the Taliban, who conquered Afghanistan in a lightning war and took Kabul in 1996. Remember it was the Taliban who gave Al Qaeda safe haven to plan and execute the 9-11 attacks.

If a certain country stopped providing weapons to Al-Nusa, SDF Kurds

After a series of violent and costly clashes with other anti-Assad extremist groups the Turks arranged for Al Nusra to merge with four other extremist groups in the region of northern Syria under Turkish Army control and the new organization is called Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, HTS for short. AQ disowned Al Nusra for joining HTS. They are financed primarily by the Turks.

The SDF is not the PKK. PKK is a terrorist organization. SDF is not. They have different leadership, different ideologies and different goals. SDF fighters were the only ones who proved capable of defeating Daesh forces in combat and are largely responsible for eliminating their "caliphate" in Iraq and northern Syria. One of the reasons some 900 US soldiers remain in that region is to prevent Daesh from once again taking over the oil fields there and using the proceeds of oil and fuel sales to finance their war. Or perhaps you would prefer there be no counterweight to Daesh?

An attack on a Shiite mosque in northern Mazar-e-Sharif

Indeed, that's another bloody attack to Shiite Sufis. Taliban wing doesn't like them yet they promised peace and security for everybody in Afghanistan when they came to power.
