Taliban planning to take over Afghanistan when U.S. Leaves?
2012-02-02 16:56:00 Wonder if this report will change the president’s mind about withdrawing U.S. troops from Afghanistan: A NATO report leaked to British news outlets found that Taliban leaders are confident they will regain power in Afghanistan after the U.S. withdraws, and said the insurgency has not been seriously eroded by the military efforts of America and ...

U.S. Marines Urinating on Dead Taliban
2012-01-13 19:34:00 Your Ad Here A video surfaced on the Internet of four United States Marines urinating on the dead bodies of supposed Taliban members. These four Marines have since been identified, and this is definitely not something that they should be proud of. The military careers of the four men are most likely finished.

America and Taliban
2012-01-13 08:20:00 The story of American support for the mujahedeen must be instructive for Israelis. With rare exceptions, Afghani mujahedeen militias are a remarkably murderous bunch. While generally refraining from alienating the neighboring population, they often engage in grisly atrocities against less supportive segments. American officials never did so much as scold the Northern Alliance publicly for their human rights violations. Israel, however, is constantly investigated for ridiculously minor transgressions. The Northern Alliance’s secret is threefold: its atrocities are sufficiently gross that reforming its policies is not an option—and diplomats do not like to involve themselves with thankless tasks. Reporters also are not permitted into areas where atrocities have been committed, and the atrocities are large enough to turn from human tragedy into statistics. The American-propped Kabul government is rotten: not only does it incorporate a number of high-profile thugs, but many Taliban ...

Did Marines Render Departed Taliban Short Arm Salute?
2012-01-12 19:53:00 A video shows four purported Marine rendering due respect to purported dead Taliban fighters, from Useless Toady: WASHINGTON (AP) – Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Thursday condemned as “utterly deplorable” a video that purports to depict four U.S. Marines urinating on the corpses of Taliban fighters. He said such behavior is “entirely inappropriate for members of the United States military” and those responsible will be held accountable. I have my opinion of what the Marines are doing and my attitude has to how appropriate the short arm salute, may or my not be.   However, the linked video does not shows any short arms on display.  So Secretary Panetta does not know just what the four standing gentlemen are in fact Marines or just what they are doing.  Given Panetta’s lack of information it is time for him to pull his proverbial Johnson out of his mouth and shut the flock up.  Is Panetta attempting to exert command influence for ...

The US Elections Bring the Taliban Christians Out From Under Their Stones
2010-10-26 15:24:00 Even from England I can see that the US election season has turned very nasty indeed. We're usually immune to it over here. We have no real idea what mid term elections are, and we pretty much don't care. Though, since the USA's politics affects us here, I wonder why I don't get a vote. Usually I stay well away, keep my opinions to myself and smile benignly at a nation going through a pretty
Taliban barbarians wipe out Christian medical team in Afghanistan
2010-08-08 23:43:00 One of the ten team members that included six Americans was New York optometrist who has spent more than 30 years providing medical aid. The team was wantonly murdered after hiking more than 10 hours over rugged mountains to care for isolated Afghan villagers.The Taliban--Moslem extremists--proudly announced their executions thusly:Taliban spokesman&n-bsp;Zabiullah Mujahid told the AP that they killed the foreigners because they were "spying for the Americans" and "preaching Christianity." In a Pashto language statement acquired by the AP, theTaliban also said the team was carrying Dari language bibles and "spying gadgets."Is there still any question about who our enemy is, whether there or here? Should we show the same kind of tolerance to the Muslims that want to build a mosque at...

Wht Taliban Attacked Islamic University
2009-10-24 10:11:00 Sadly, it's just such a goal that probably made it a "legitimate" target for the Taliban, for whom a healthy public sphere populated by educated citizens willing and able to challenge, potentially democratize, and clean up their government would pose at least as big threat to its position in the country as the army they are now fighting in the country's northwest, read what Mark LeVine - a history professor at University of California, Irvine and currently a visiting professor at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Lund University, Sweden, writes here. I partially agree with what Mark LeVine writes. The able author would have been more convincing only if he not that sarcastic. I wonder why intellectuals like him think with malice, allow me use the word.

Christians in Taiser town, near Karachi, noticed on the walls of their church graffiti that read, "Long Live the Taliban" and calls for Christians to either convert to Islam or pay the jizye, a poll tax under sharia (Islamic law) paid by non-Muslims for protection if they decline to convert.
Pakistan: Taliban Threatens Singers And Actors With Death
2009-03-15 11:26:00 Nazia Iqbal, a singer from Peshawar who is known as much for her beauty as her popular melodies, retired this week from singing and joined the Tablighi, a conservative religious preaching group.She was just one of a group of singers to make the enforced transformation.Wagma, another Pashtu-language woman singer, said that she had also received death threats and joined the group of preachers."In the initial stage, I joined the group under threat, but now I have realised that this is a noble way of life and I shall stick to it and shall never return to singing," she said.The death knell for Peshawar's once vibrant cultural life is one more indication that the Taliban has infiltrated the gates of Peshawar, a strategic frontier city close to the border with Afghanistan.Peshawar, the capital of the troubled North West Frontier Province (NWFP), is a staging post from where the US is attempting to embark on development projects to counter the "Talibanisation" of the region.But its citizen...
Joe Biden Believes Only 5 Percent Of The Taliban Are Determined Jihadist
2009-03-12 02:54:00 You have got to be kidding me. In response to this the Taliban said there is no such thing as a "moderate" member of the Taliban. See here.?5 percent of the Taliban is incorrigible, not susceptible to anything other than being defeated. Another 25 percent or so are not quite sure, in my view, the intensity of their commitment to the insurgency. And roughly 70 percent are involved because of the money, because of them being ? getting paid.?Robert Spencer does a good job of breaking this down and showing how ridiculous it is.According to the vice president -- and don't ask where he came up with these precise numbers -- only 5% of the Taliban is "incorrigible" (i.e., are determined jihadis); 25% are on the fence, sort of; the other 70% are in it for the money (i.e., they are not serious about this whole Islam, jihad, and sharia jazz, but are "frustrated," "impoverished, "disaffected," etc., and so let's buy them off.)Thus, according to the vice president of the U.S., 70% of the Tal...
Change in US Policy - Negotiations With Taliban Possible
2009-03-08 16:15:00 "Much of the progress in Iraq over the last two years came from deals with insurgent groups who had previously targeted American troops. Now President Obama is suggesting that the military might try to replicate its success there by trying to split the Taliban in Afghanistan. In an interview with The New York Times, Obama says: "There may be some comparable opportunities in Afghanistan and in the Pakistani region," where his generals believe negotiation could yield benefits. As for the economy, Obama declined to predict when it would finally pull out of its current slump but said he would "get all the pillars in place for recovery this year" so that the next economic expansion would run smoothly. Striking a balance between acknowledging the seriousness of the economic crisis and offering hope for the future, Obama called the downturn a "wrenching process" but encouraged Americans not to become too spendthrift out of fear. "I don't think that people should suddenly mistrust all of o...

2009-02-25 04:02:00 Thanks to Muslims Against ShariaThe British government has funded research into public opinion in the tribal areas, the poorest area of Pakistan where the average local income is half the national average and average per capita development expenditure under a third of that elsewhere.Locals, who express a strong desire for more jobs, hold mixed views on the cause of local "Talibanisation", blaming it on the Afghan conflict, corrupt and inefficient local government, poverty and illiteracy. Though there is strong support for better female access to health and education, there was profound reluctance among the largely male survey respondents to empower women more generally, with 67% supporting "honour killings". Over 50% of those polled believed Islamic law brought peace to the region and only 3.6% considered the Taliban to be terrorists.Very telling statistics.
