Taliban Bought Twitter Verified Check Marks

Taliban Hedayatullah and Hammad with the blue ticks on their accounts.

They both have 187,000 and 170,000 followers on their respective accounts. Hedayat’s previously regained its tick after it had been taken away initially in December. Hedayat regularly provides information about Taliban administration issues.

Taliban spokesperson Muhammad Jalal even commended Musk for the verifications and for “making Twitter wonderful again.”

The Taliban’s account verifications, nevertheless, seem to have been revoked amid backlash over the social media platform’s blue checkmarks being handed to Afghanistan’s virulently Islamist government.

Before, only “active, prominent, and authentic accounts of public interest” received the blue “verified” checkmark from Twitter.

However, users can now purchase them via the Twitter Blue service for a price since Elon Musk acquired the platform last year; at least two Taliban government officials in Afghanistan had used this option.

The blue checkmarks were no longer there in Hedayat’s and Hammad’s accounts.

It wasn’t apparent who erased the verifications—Twitter or the users.

So yet, neither Twitter nor Musk, who makes extensive use of the platform, have made any public comments regarding the issue.

The story of US Marine Richard “Mac” McKinney, who initially intended to attack a mosque but later converted to Islam, is told in the book Stranger at the Gate.

The documentary has received numerous awards from different film festivals. McKinney decided to blow up a mosque in his hometown of Muncie, Indiana because he was suffering from PTSD.

However, he was moved by the goodwill of the worshippers and refugees there when he began to routinely visit the mosque to gather information for his idea.

He abandoned his plan to destroy the mosque after being moved by the Muslims inside and decided to become a Muslim instead. He is currently the mosque’s president.

Malala Yousafzai told Variety that the movie is “a stunning true story of forgiveness and healing.”

“I hope the movie encourages every audience to confront their presumptions and be kind to everyone they encounter.”

This movie opened my eyes and altered my viewpoint when I first viewed it.

It is an honor for me to lend my support to Joshua Seftel’s stirring true narrative of redemption, Stranger at the Gate.

The New Yorker releases the Seftel-directed documentary Stranger at the Gate as a part of its New Yorker Documentary series.

The story at the center of “Stranger at the Gate” offers me hope in this time of conflict and hatred, Seftel stated.
