Wott a shame.
Too bad it wasn't a drone that took him out.

I'm sure gina is in mourning.
I've read these reports for the last week, but since he put out his annual message for the end of Ramadan, I think they are wrong. The Islamic Emirate has always been forthcoming and honest with information about themselves including their Commanders.
Mullah Omar is a pious man who respects the sovereignty of his own country's borders, he did not allow his men to cross the borders to fight against or in wars of other countries, nor would he allow anyone to use his country to fight external wars, which was the case with Osama who had a global caliphate vision and initiative. All religions mandate if someone seeks refuge in your land, you provide that, yes it is even in the Bible there should be towns of refuge, which is all he did, follow his religion. When the US demanded he hand over Osama, he said show me the proof that he did 9.11 and I will hand him over, because he dencounced the attacks as un-Islamic. No proof was provided to him.
Omar is not hosting Isis, will not join them. He has been misunderstood, maligned by the media, whenever he does die, he will be one of the greatest Islamic martyrs and be remembered for his piety, his jihad, and his total dedication Islam.

Gina. You know what else starts with a "G"? Gullible. Coincidence? I think not.
Huh? People will believe what they want to believe. It is my belief that he is still alive. The intel people etc. can say what they want to. Maybe they want to give him a break so people stop looking for him. I think when he does die, the Islamic Emirate will make a formal statement. They are not running any propaganda. They don't need to. They are just trying to live in their own country and mind their own business. They would not join Al Qaida they will not join Isis, they have no secret agenda.
With a capital "G"!!

What does your belief have to do with the real world? So far, only you are denying it. Are you by chance a Patriots fan? 😛
THE Taliban denied his death on Voice of America and other news outlets. But here's a little something for you.
From 12.22.14
http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/foreign/22-Dec-2014/us-not-to-target-mullah-omar-after-jan-2-pentagon
WASHINGTON – The United States has said that after January 2, its forces in Afghanistan will not target Mullah Omar and other Taliban leaders unless they posed a direct threat to the US.
“Being a member of the Taliban doesn’t mean that the United States is going to prosecute operations against you for that reason alone,” Pentagon spokesperson Rear Admiral John Kirby said in a news briefing in Washington. However, he also drew a line between combatant and non-combatant Taliban, saying those who continued to fight would not be spared.
The Pentagon spokesman explained that from January 2, the US policy in Afghanistan would change. But “what changes fundamentally, though, is (that) … on January 2nd, just by being a member of the Taliban doesn’t make you an automatic target,” he said. “So, beginning January 2, it will be up to the Afghans to go after someone like Omar?” asked a journalist. “That’s correct, unless there is a direct threat that’s posed,” he said.
REMARKS: He never was a threat to any country, all he did was shoot back when people came to shoot at them. Their original decision to take out the ruling regime in Afghanistan was due to their living under conditions they described at "there is no law, there is no order". Rampant corruption, villagers coming to them asking them to help against tactic by warlords, etc. They were 15 people with 30 rifles when they set out to free their land from the tyranny of what had happened there. They could not have done that without God's help as well as the local people.

Whatever. He's dead. Gone. Decomposing.
He's gone
And nuthin's gonna bring him back
He's gone.
You know... Gullible isn't a real word.
If you don't believe me... look it up.
Bye Bye Omar.
These reports that the media have been jumping all over quote unnamed sources, official Taliban spokesmen denied that. (and when I say Taliban, I mean Mullah Omar's Taliban, any other talibs, such as Pakistani talibs are the Pakistani talibs).
People should be very afraid IF Omar has died, because while Akhtar Mansoor who was a former Aviation Minister while the Afghan Taliban were in power in Afghanistan prior to our war beginning in 2001 is considered to be moderate in his beliefs, he himself contacted Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi (head of ISIS) to say that they all should fight under one banner, and join together. MULLAH OMAR was, is opposed to ISIS and would NEVER agree to that.
Mansoor is also not allowed back into Pakistan, the ISI will not allow it.
So if people want to think that just because the US was able to negotiate with the Haqqanis back during the Soviet War jihad that the same holds true today, I disagree. Two of his sons were killed in targeted assassinations. (one in Pakistan, one in Afghanistan)
The man Mullah Omar chose to succeed him if he was martyred is Abdul Ghani Bararder, who languishes in a Pakistani prison, despite press reports that he was released, THE Afghan Taliban refuted that in their own press releases at the time other reports said he was free.
So if people want to accept this belief that Omar is dead, and that they have to negotiate with Akhtar Mansoor, who personally contacted Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi saying they should all unite, then ISIS will trample Afghanistan, when they are done there, they will go to Pakistan, take their nukes. Interestingly enough there is a 1300 year old prophecy that says jihad would be waged on India and it would be successful. What country could do that? Pakistan. Who could appropriate those nukes to do that? ISIS.
I sincerely hope these reports of Omar's deaths prove to be untrue, and so should you.

No Miss expert on all things moronic the taliban has admitted he has been dead for SOME TIME in other words they admitted they are LIARS and you eat it up. You are despicable. I say 3 cheers that this backwards thnking man from the stone age is gone.
Capital G!!!!!
Kill 'em all and let Allah sort 'em out.
Mullah Omar's death has been confirmed. While the full Shura did not participate in the new selection of his successor, Mullah Akhtar Mansoor has been selected to be the successor Amir, with Moulavi Haibatullah Akhunzada and Siraj Haqqani as deputies. Mullah Omar remained the spiritual leader of the Islamic Emirate and his legacy will continue to live in their hearts as a source of inspiration and comfort throughout the new era. Operationally, the Taliban decentralized their military activities so that if one person died or was captured, everyone else would continue on. This has not changed. While some are remiss that his oldest son, Yaqoob who graduated from Darul Uloom Haqqiana Seminary was not chosen to be the new Amir, he will still provide input to the new delegation. Mullah Mansoor will issue his own statement in the next few days, but the Leadership Council has issued one.
"Our Muslim Brothers!
As you know that the founder and leader of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, His Excellency Amir-ul-Momineen Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid (may mercy be upon him) has passed away from this world due to the illness he was suffering from.
After his passing away, the leading council of the Islamic Emirate, authentic scholars and venerable people of the country embarked on selecting the new leadership. Members of the leading council of the Islamic Emirate, saints and scholars, all of them discerning and influential people, in the wake of a prolonged discussion, decided in a meeting to appoint the intimate and trusted associate of Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid and the former deputy head of the Islamic Emirate, Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansoor, as the new leader of the Islamic Emirate.
Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansoor, who was considered a reliable and suitable person for shouldering heavy tasks even in the lifetime of late Mullah Mohammad Umar Mujahid (may mercy be upon him) and had been administrating the Islamic Emirate since long therefore, the leading council of the Islamic Emirate and authentic scholars judged him a suitable and talented personality for the leadership of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and appointed him as their legalized leader.
In this meeting of leadership appointment, scholars, saints and dignitaries of the Islamic Emirate pledged their allegiance with Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansoor as Amir-ul-Momineen in accordance with the principal of listening and obedience. He, as a legal Amir, pledged his commitment to the Sharia Law too.
Similarly, after due consultation and approval in this meeting, each one, the former judiciary chief of the Islamic Emirate, religious scholar, Moulavi Haibatullah Akhunzada and the son of the renowned Jihadi and scholarly figure Moulavi Jalauddin Haqqani (may Allah safeguard him), a well-known Jihadi commander Mullah Sirajuddin Haqqani, as the deputy heads of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
The leading council of the Islamic Emirate pray to Almighty Allah to bestow this new newly appointed leadership with steadfastness, honesty and allegiance to the Divine Sharia and invites the Muslim Nation, particularly, all Mujahidin of the Islamic Emirate, to obey him as their legal Amir (head). "
[Edited on 8/2/2015 by gina]
This is the statement from the family as provided by the Leadership Council of the Islamic Emirate.
"And no person can ever die except by Allah’s Leave and at an appointed term. And whoever desires a reward in (this) world, We shall give him of it; and whoever desires a reward in the Hereafter, We shall give him thereof. And We shall reward the grateful. 146. And many a Prophet (i.e. many from amongst the Prophets) fought (in Allah’s Cause) and along with him (fought) large bands of religious learned men. But they never lost heart for that which did befall them in Allah’s Way, nor did they weaken nor degrade themselves. And Allah loves As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.). 147. And they said nothing but: “Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and our transgressions (in keeping our duties to You), establish our feet firmly, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk.” (Surah Al-Imran)
Death is certain. It is part of our faith that except for the Almighty Allah all living beings will taste death. Even the most beloved being to Allah Almighty, the leader of both Universes, the Prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him, tasted the bitterness of death and passed away from this World.
In light of this reality the Leadership of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and the family of Amir ul Mumineen Mulla Muhammad Omar Mujahid May Allah have mercy on him announce that the founder and leader of Islamic Emirate, as a result of an illness, handed his spirit over to the taker of souls and passed away from this temporary world towards the everlasting one, surely to Allah we belong and to Him we must return And May Allah SWT have boundless mercy on him.
Mulla Muhammad Omar Mujahid May Allah have mercy on him was an esteemed and sincere leader of the Islamic Ummah, who raised the fallen flag of Islam under the most difficult of circumstances. Under the name of Islamic Emirate, he founded a complete government within the framework of Islamic politics and in full compliance with the laws of Islam. Through him, Allah Almighty graced not only Afghanistan but the entire Ummah with an Islamic government and portrayed to the world the true meaning of Islamic sovereignty.
These few lines might not be sufficient to testify to his achievements, so therefore we turn to the issue at hand, which is that the esteemed Amir ul Mumineen May Allah have mercy on him has passed away from this world. Under these circumstances it is our duty to steer this Islamic Emirate, left behind to us as a trust, in the same direction as he had done. To remain as committed to Shariah as he had done. To remain as sincere and steadfast as he had done. To be as ready to sacrifice it all for the right path, to keep promises, trusting in Allah, patient, steadfast, and fearful of Allah as he had been so that Allah Almighty similarly helps us sustain this heavy burden and reach our destination as well as enables us to hold our heads high both in this world and hereafter.
The deceased Mullah Muhammad Omar Mujahid may Allah have mercy on him who, despite the military might and intelligence tracking of America and all her allies, continued to live in Afghanistan and in the previous fourteen years never for a single day did he leave Afghanistan to visit Pakistan or another country. From his place he led the affairs of Islamic Emirate and there are ample proofs and witnesses to testify to his historic perseverance. Some time ago he became ill which intensified in the last two weeks before he passed away from this world.
While the esteemed Amir ul Mumineen May Allah have mercy on him was bodily a single person yet he encapsulated an entire movement, a philosophy, and the bearer of an ideal. If anyone wants to please his soul and show proof of their loyalty to him, then they should show loyalty to his inheritance which is the Islamic Emirate. Under the present circumstances, it is our individual duty as Muslims to work towards establishing an Islamic system by assisting, unifying, expanding and ultimately enabling the success of the Islamic Emirate. The foundations of this joint home must be solidified and the strengthening of our ranks is the only way to ensure we achieve the objectives of our people and the Mujahideen.
The deceased Amir ul Mumineen May Allah have mercy on him founded and strengthened this movement in such a way that it is based upon strong foundations, sincere and prudent colleagues, and supported by solid formations. Therefore the Mujahideen and all Muslims should be rest assured that, with the help of Allah Almighty, the leaders and members of Islamic Emirate will steer this caravan with the help of Allah and backing of Muslims towards its destination which was the deceased Amir ul Mumineen’s lasting wish, and nothing is hard for Allah.
The leadership of the Islamic Emirate, the Leadership Council, and the family of the deceased Amir ul Mumineen have agreed that for the following three days (from 14th Shawwal 1436) in all the lands, scholars, clerics, national and Jihadi figures – on behalf of the leaders of the Islamic Emirate, Mujahideen and all the nation – should pray for the soul of the deceased Amir ul Mumineen and offer Quranic recitations, prayers and condolences and pray for the forgiveness of the deceased and the steadfastness and success of the Islamic Emirate.
Finally we would like to recall that Mullah Muhammad Omar’s maternal brother – Mullah Abdul Manan Akhund – and his eldest son – Maulawi Muhammad Yaqoob – specifically ask all Muslims that if during the rule of the Islamic Emirate, under the leadership of the deceased Mullah Muhammad Omar, they were deprived of any rights then they should forgive him and always remember him in their prayers. We consider the entire Muslim Ummah, and especially the Mujahid nation of Afghanistan as our partners in this great calamity and ask Allah Almighty to give us all patience and consolation. "

gina's "enlightened updates".
What a waste of the intrawebs.
I've read these reports for the last week, but since he put out his annual message for the end of Ramadan, I think they are wrong.
As usual, you are dead wrong.
Have we invaded Iran yet???
If we do I'll make sure to let you know.
If we do I'll make sure to let you know.
Lame.
For at least 8 years now you've been sure it was imminent.
Why not finally admit you are wrong?
If we do I'll make sure to let you know.
Lame.
For at least 8 years now you've been sure it was imminent.
Why not finally admit you are wrong?
I can still remember when I first joined this site that Gina was convinced and trying to convince everyone else that Iran would be invaded within six weeks. That was in fall of 2003 I believe. I learned pretty quickly not to take anything she says seriously, and now I just have to chuckle.
Capital "G"! 
Remember when she tried to tell us an FBI agent was stalking her and had wire-tapped her shoes????
Classic with a capital C.
I've read these reports for the last week, but since he put out his annual message for the end of Ramadan, I think they are wrong. The Islamic Emirate has always been forthcoming and honest with information about themselves including their Commanders.
Mullah Omar is a pious man who respects the sovereignty of his own country's borders, he did not allow his men to cross the borders to fight against or in wars of other countries, nor would he allow anyone to use his country to fight external wars, which was the case with Osama who had a global caliphate vision and initiative. All religions mandate if someone seeks refuge in your land, you provide that, yes it is even in the Bible there should be towns of refuge, which is all he did, follow his religion. When the US demanded he hand over Osama, he said show me the proof that he did 9.11 and I will hand him over, because he dencounced the attacks as un-Islamic. No proof was provided to him.
Omar is not hosting Isis, will not join them. He has been misunderstood, maligned by the media, whenever he does die, he will be one of the greatest Islamic martyrs and be remembered for his piety, his jihad, and his total dedication Islam.
[Edited on 8/2/2015 by gina]
And his sheltering of Al Quaeda who murdered more than 3,000 Americans. I'm glad you feel that is what Islam is all about. President's Bush AND Obama would dispute that. Of course they are not Muslims.

You need to watch the video "Loose Change", as well as spend some time on the PatriotsQuestion911.com website. Also ask youself this, since they were so sure Osama did it, why would they, and the THEY includes the 911 Commission REFUSE to answer, debunk and refute questions, conspiracy theories? Real simple, because they couldn't. It was an inside job, by multinational (that means other countries) evil doers.
I denounced the attacks, Mullah Omar denounced the attacks, so where do you get the idea to make a statement like that "I'm glad you feel that is what Islam is all about"? I would like you to answer that question.
As to his sheltering him, Osama arrived at Tora Bora around 1996, on property given to him by an Arab, NOT Mullah Omar. The Arab owned it from the Afghan Soviet War. Omar let him stay because he was exiled from the Sudan and sought refuge. The Torah, The Bible and the Quran all say that if someone seeks refuge in your land you must give it to him. Per a book that Osama's son wrote with Osama's first wife, Omar asked Osama to leave once it became apparent, through his video messages that he wanted to use Afghanistan as his base for global operations. Omar believed, as I do, that states and countries have the sovereignty of their own borders uphold. In the matter of jihad, Omar believes as I do, you are allowed to defend yourselves but not allowed to go and start wars on or in other countries. There are some groups who can point out where the US and other countries too are going there murdering their citizens, and on that basis they feel they are justified going to other lands to fight back.
[Edited on 8/4/2015 by gina]
Amidst the negative press he received from 9.12.01 onward, this is what I learned from research (news articles, interviews) over the years about Mullah Mohammed Omar Akhond. Yes he has a last name and it is Akhond. He called himself Mullah Mohammed Omar Mujahid, because he was a mujahid and is recognized for his status as a martyr.
It is not that Mullah Mohammed Omar was against peace.
• He was just against a secular govt.,
• He was against non-Afghan troops remaining in Afghanistan.
• He was against the opium cultivation in the country, and eradicated more than 86% of it.
• He was against any Afghan fighters crossing the border to fight in Pakistan or anywhere else.
• He believed in the sovereignty of Afghanistan and it’s borders.
• He believed in protecting women, and providing them with a stipend so that they did not have to work, they could stay home and raise their children.
• He believed in educating women, he wanted them to be able to be female Dr.’s and nurses to treat women patients. Education and application of what they learned needed to be done in such a way that they would live islamically.
• I think he would have supported micro businesses form women as long as the manner in which they conducted their business did not expose them to fitna (corruption/tempation).
• If there is a question between following a political leaders mandate or following a religious mandate, he would follow the religious mandate. Such was the case with Osama, who sought refuge in the land. Proper jihad is defending oneself, one’s home, one’s family, one’s national borders. Osama had a different view. Omar would not let his personal feelings for Osama sway him, he followed his religious mandates. You only fight back, you do not initiate the fight. Osama would probably go back to the Ottoman empire battles and tell you that they started it and have not stopped so why should we? While there is validity in that, that is a more global viewpoint. Omar lived and fought regionally.
Mullah Mansoor will negotiate with the Afghan govt. Omar would NOT because he did not recognize their legitimacy. [they rule by secular law and want to incorporate some democracy into it, Omar believed only in Sharia law as the only legitamite form of Islamic law].
Mullah Mansoor wants all factions joined, including Isis. Omar would NEVER accept that. He even gave orders in April 2013 for any fighter to execute and Isis fighers coming over the border from Pakistan.
Ayman al Zawhiri gave his oath of allegiance (bayat) to Mullah Omar. He would NOT join Isis, even though they are an Al Qaida subgroup. It is doubtful he would join Mullah Mansoor if he wants to bring Isis fighters into one large group.
Mullah Mansoor was part of the original Taliban leadership prior to 9.11.01.
He was also leading the Shura under Mullah Omar’s regime. He is not unknown. The dissension that exists today is that everyone in the Shura was not present to appoint him, which according to Sharia law must occur for a successor leader, Amir to be legitamitely appointed.

We're still glad he's dead.
We're still glad he's dead.

More evidence a certain someone does not know what she is talking about and even people in the Taliban are admitting that they lied about his death for a LONG time.
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/05/world/asia/taliban-leader.html?ref=world&_r=0
Some members believe the story that he died in 2013, I do not. Syed Tayyab Mohammad Agha is a beautiful, conscience driven individual, who was chosen to head the political office based in Qatar. There are other things that happen in Afghanistan that the political office does not always hear about, those things are known by field commanders and others. Afghanistan has 33 provinces, some of the other Taliban have firm beliefs that Omar never left Afghanistan. I am aware of him leaving there only once during the Soviet war jihad when his eye was damaged with shrapnel and Colonel Imam had him taken to a Pakistani hospital. Colonel Imam was not fighting on the same side as Omar, but had such tremendous respect for him, he did that for him. Colonel Imam was subsequently murdered by Hakimullah Mehsud of the Pakistani Taliban after being captured, due to what the Pakistani Taliban considered atrocities committed on Arabs during the days of the Soviet War jihad. IF Omar never left Afghanistan except for having his eye treated, then he did not die in a hospital in Karachi in 2013.
Mullah Omar used to send audio messages as well as written messages thru the ranks, so most of them know he was alive until after issuing the 7.15.15 Ramadan message. That is the belief of some of the local talibs and it is also my belief.
http://dunyanews.tv/index.php/en/World/291787-Head-of-Talibans-Qatar-office-quits-as-leadership
"In order to live with a clear conscience and abide by the principles of Mullah Omar, I decided that my work as head of the political office has ended," Agha said in the statement published on a website regularly used by the Doha office and confirmed by a Taliban source. "I will not be involved in any kind of (Taliban) statements... and will not support any side in the current internal disputes within the Taliban."
FINAL REMARKS : He says he will not support any side in the current internal disputes.

i've know of the taliban since the early 90's it seems. f*cked up people. i think it was a freak named sam sloan that turned me onto them. he is a chess master and like all chess masters very weird. he had a basic web page back then and i think still today.....but it told me some very obscure information about afghanistan and pakistan in the early 90's. i'll look it up and post, whats most interesting as i remember from then is his early postings....way before any of the wars in the 00's
been awhile since i checked out his site.....sorry i can't give you a place to start
