Politically correct fantasy once again meets reality. “Taliban respond with rocket fire to Kerry’s calls for peace,” by Phillip Walter Wellman, Stars and Stripes, April 10, 2016: KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban claimed responsibility Sunday for a rocket attack on Kabul’s diplomatic area which came just after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry ended a […]
British convert to Islam added to US list of global terrorists for raising funds for al-Qaeda and the Taliban
Authorities remain completely and doggedly incurious about the phenomenon of conversion to Islam, and why so many converts to Islam get the idea that their new religion wants them to commit treason and murder. “British man added to US list of ‘global terrorists’ after being suspected of raising funds for Al Qaeda,” by Sam Tonkin, […]
Pakistan facilitated massive Taliban offensive in Afghanistan
As well as other jihad activity elsewhere. Even worse, they no doubt facilitated a great deal of this with money they received from the U.S. to fight terrorism, as they have done before. But they’re still our ally, illustrating the absurdity of U.S. foreign policy. “Pakistan’s Hand in the Rise of International Jihad,” by Carlotta […]
Afghan Islamic scholars’ fatwa: Peace talks “against Islamic injunctions”
“Islam instructs its followers that ‘Jihad’ is compulsory unless the invaders are expelled from an Islamic country.” One might almost get the idea that jihad terror had something to do with Islam, did we not have so many learned mullahs such as John Kerry and David Cameron assuring us otherwise. “Afghan religious scholars issue fatwa […]
Pakistan: Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” storm university, murder at least 20 people
It boggles Westerners’ minds that Muslims could scream “Allahu akbar” while committing murder, but to these attackers, their killing is a pious act, and act of jihad, an act that pleases the god who commanded his slaves to “kill them wherever you find them” (cf. Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, 9:5). “Taliban Attack at Bacha Khan University […]
Taliban resurgent as Afghan military weakened by “ghost soldiers” who get paid but don’t exist
And who pays them? The American taxpayer, of course. For what cause? No one knows that — or questions it. “Afghan forces struggle as ranks thinned by ‘ghost’ soldiers,” Associated Press, January 10, 2016 (thanks to Bob): KANDAHAR, Afghanistan – Afghan forces are struggling to man the front lines against a resurgent Taliban, in part […]
Taliban at gates of Kabul as their jihad-martyrdom suicide bombers launch new wave of attacks in Afghan capital
The U.S. war in Afghanistan is a massive war for nothing, a gilded monument of pointlessness, a testament to the damage that can be and is done by the willful ignorance in Washington regarding Islam, jihad and Sharia, a crying, hopeless waste. “Taliban are at the gates of Kabul as their suicide bombers launch latest […]
Afghanistan: Taliban jihadis bomb Kabul restaurant, tweet “#Hello2016#GoodTimesAhead”
Twelve years of American involvement in Afghanistan. So many lives lost. So much money wasted. And the Taliban is more assertive and aggressive than ever. A war without a point, or a focus, or a goal, or a terminus, or an enemy. A drain on our economy and morale, and all for absolutely nothing. A […]
Bergdahl: Taliban asked me if Obama is gay
If Bergdahl is telling the truth, it is unlikely in the land of bacha bazi that these Taliban members were objecting to sleeping with men. They were asking if Obama was gay, i.e., did he sleep only with men — which exclusivity they would equate with weakness. Beyond lurid curiosity, they were most likely asking […]
Whistleblowers accuse US military of cooking intel to exaggerate success against the Islamic State and Taliban
We have seen accusations of this kind before. Given the Obama Administration’s thorough politicization of so much of government that was not politicized before, it is not remotely implausible. “US Military May Have ‘Cooked’ ISIL Intel, Exaggerating Own Success,” Sputnik News, November 22, 2015: Whistleblowers accused the US military of manipulating intelligence data on its […]
