Mullah Fazlullah This is an odd story: first it says that the Taliban threatened the journalists, but then it says they didn’t. In any case, if they did, this calls for drastic action to remedy matters. After all, Obama says: “The Taliban are not our enemies and we don’t want to fight them.” So we […]
Karzai says Obama told him: “The Taliban are not our enemies and we don’t want to fight them”
In other words, the whole Afghan adventure, which began so as to topple the Taliban and destroy their jihad training operation, has been pointless and suicidally self-defeating, as I have been saying for years. “Interview: Karzai Says He’ll Agree To Deal Once The U.S. Meets His Demands,” from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, November 26 (thanks […]
US promises Pakistan that it will not carry out any drone strikes during any future peace talks with Taliban
Sartaj Aziz Here is yet another indication of the likelihood that peace talks with the Taliban will be long on U.S. concessions to the Taliban and short on any reciprocal concessions, thereby further underscoring the unsconscionable futility and waste of the whole U.S. misadventure there. “No more drone strikes during Taliban talks, US assures Pakistan,” […]
Pakistan Taliban chief: “Talks are part of the war…our jihad will continue”
An Obama willingly plays along with the charade. “EXCLUSIVE: Statements By New TTP Emir Maulana Fazlullah 2008-2013: ‘Talks Are Part Of The War’; ‘Our Jihad Will Continue’; ‘Our Jihad Is Against The U.S. And Its Allies’; ‘Passion for Jihad is Just Like an Addiction,’” from MEMRI, November 9 (thanks to Pamela Geller): On November 7, […]
New Taliban leader vows revenge jihad attacks in Pakistan
“And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution. But whoever gives up his right as charity, it is an expiation for him. And whoever does not […]
New Pakistan Taliban top dog made radio broadcasts demanding the imposition of Islamic law
Yet the mainstream analysis prevailing in Washington and in the mainstream media is that people like Fazlullah misunderstand Islam, and twist and hijack it. They do not and cannot, however, show how his understanding of Islamic law differs from that of all the major schools of Islamic jurisprudence. “Malala plotter chosen as Pakistani Taliban chief,” […]
Drone strike in Pakistan kills head of Pakistan Taliban
“We are not in favor of democracy, democracy is for Jews and Christians. They are intended to divide Muslims; we want the implementation of Sharia (law) and for that jihad is necessary.” So said Hakimullah Mehsud a few months ago. So now that a DHS adviser says that the U.S. is an “Islamic country,” will […]
Bomb hidden in microphone kills Afghan governor at mosque prayers
“These attacks, which the Taliban do in the name of Islam, cause death and injury to innocent Muslims, and cannot be the work of Muslims, but rather those who have been assigned to kill Muslims.” Karzai is right based on Qur’an 4:92, which forbids Muslims to kill other Muslims. However, the Taliban consider the Muslims […]
Taliban top dog Mullah Omar threatens jihad against U.S. troops if they stay in country past 2014
They should be home now. They should have been home years ago. They are in Afghanistan on a fool’s errand to no purpose and with no goal. It is suicidal. “Taliban Leader Threatens Jihad Against U.S. Troops,” from Israel National News, October 14: Taliban leader Mullah Omar warned, Monday, an agreement between the United States […]
Afghanistan: Taliban executed two children as spies
Good thing they will soon be back in power in Afghanistan, eh? “Afghanistan says Taliban executed two children as spies,” from UPI, October 13 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): KABUL, Afghanistan, Oct. 13 (UPI) — Afghan authorities accused the Taliban of executing two young children between the ages of 8 and 10 as government […]
