Hamid Karzai calls out Imran Khan, says ISIS threat is from Pakistan, not Afghanistan
Islamic issues continue to be a stumbling block to Western policy strategists, who persistently see Islamic politics and culture through the lenses of Western norms, giving them big blind spots when anything Islamic does not fall into the neat template of Islam being a religion of peace, a claim that is a big fallacy.
