The Taliban considered themselves to have the same "noble responsibility." "And they now gear up narcotic jihad," from Asian Tribune, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
Dhaka, 19 May, (Asiantribune.com): It is current news in Bangladesh. Owner of pro-radical vernacular daily Naya Diganta (New Sky), which was established with dubious fund from Saudi source a few years back, is now under massive interrogation in remand for his involvement in trafficking huge quantity of heroin (narcotic) to European and American destinations.Bangladeshi intelligence agencies arrested Badruddoza Chowdhury Momen, owner of BD Foods, a company exporting ‘spices’ to Western destinations, for trafficking huge amount of heroin which were packed inside the sachets of spices. On interrogation, Badruddoza confessed to the interrogators that he has smuggled out narcotics worth few hundred million dollars to United States and Europe since 2003.
He said, drugs for trafficking to Western destinations were coming from Afghanistan via Pakistan. “It is a part of our noble responsibility to spoil the Western society with drugs”, Badruddoza said.
I remember Bill O'Reilly saying not long after 9/11 that these opium fields should be bombed to oblivion. I agreed with him then.He was right.
However,,,all the PC idiots said that the Afghani's would starve! No cash crop!
Let them grow proper food crops!
Yet another "creative" way to wage jihad on the West.
I hope people, if they are addicted, will try to get help.
Also, seems like the Taliban are coming back with a vengeance,,,,,was it all a waste of lives and time?
Thanks for this site which I have just iscovered. I have been reading back pages. I am delighted to see and follow this discussion.
I have always suspected this, both at local level and international.
Need I bring up the fact that the nation with the world's worst heroin problem is Iran? With all of it coming from Afghanistan?
But of course, the Tali-me-bananas are Sunni, aren't they?
Heh, heh. Saves us the trouble of shooting them down if they're busy shooting up.
This may explain why have an addiction to curry.
According to a recent article in The Business, now gone but still cached at Google -
Afghan drugs
- "some 60% of the national GDP derives from the trade".
The piece ends with the ludicrous conclusion "America faces a big burden if it is not to see drugs taking over from fundamentalism as the challenge Afghanistan poses to the world." As if, "fundamentalism" - i.e., resurgent Islam - has been wholly checked in Afghanistan, and is not likely to remain a problem for the foreseeable future. (It's a permanent problem - c.f. Turkey.) It just goes to show that many people still do not appreciate just what a serious and deep-rooted (14-centuries old) matter the global jihad is. However, maybe The Business has reliable figures there.
William Lind at Defense and the National Interest considers the issue may be pulling the U.S. in two different directions, but admits his thoughts are based on a questionable source:

He makes the same point WRT what he says are strategic and tactical considerations in Iraq - "ink blot" versus "super-base":

Knotty problems all round. And the electorate must be getting impatient to see the troops out.

LOL
maybe its the same spices that they put on Pringles because as the saying goes ...Once you pop, you just cant stop.....and its true.
Eisenhund:
You are right about Iran. Not only are they heroin addicts - AIDS is out of control!And boy are they in denial!
I can't get over the rank hippocrisy of these people. They take drugs, indulge in polygamy,download porn, still carry on white slavery trade,kill people they disagree with and have the nerve to tell us we are decadent!
Maybe we are - but I'll take that any time over sharia law.
Beachhutman: I know how you feel:)
Same for me a few months ago.I was relieved to find some like-minded intelligent people around the world!
Foehammer: are you around? I wanted to drop in on your site and say hello but this old computer-challenged person made a mess of it lol!
Where did I go wrong??lol!
They also have another problem besides all these. ALL muslims, and I mean all throughout the world, will never vaccinate their children. The head thug (somewhere in saudi, don't know his name) has told them that the Infidels have made this serum to make their children infertile, eunuch. Now the WHO faces the same problem in some countries of Africa (where the zombies are a majority) and India (of this I know first hand). But you have to hand it to them, THEY ARE VERY UNITED against infidels.
The population of Pakistan, 'the land of the pure' is just as riddled with drug abuse:
http://www.yespakistan.com/people/drug_addic.asp
With 500,000 heroin addicts in the country,half of whom use needles, the mullahs have got together and declared a jihad on drug abuse, pronouncing it un-Islamic and 'the mother of all evils'.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4627979.stm
The prostitution, AIDS, organised crime and corruption associated with all this doesn't bear thinking about.
When these people are breading like they do, being allowed to spread throughout the world as they do and being encouraged in their religion by our money mad governments, like they do.
Its obvious they are going to believe that this so called prophet and Allah are right about Islam dominating.
If our politicians are forced to wake up and deport them, enmass then they will hopefully learn to see that the breading habits of their religion and culture are causing them poverty and starvation. Without all these open border policies, with foreign nationals coming and going willy nilly, we will have tighter controls on the drug trafficking, then the Afghans can learn to eat their own heroin for dinner or change their crops.
“It is a part of our noble responsibility to spoil the Western society with drugs”, Badruddoza said.
-- from the article above
This prompts the obvious observation. Any Muslim can justify, or be helped to justify, his criminal activity in the Western world as an act of Jihad. The Norwegian imam described in Bruce Bawer's "While England Slept" as telling his flock they were right to steal from Infidels because in the absence of a formal jizyah this was to be considered their jizyah, and those who elsewhre -- from the Sydney rapists who were out to show those Aussie (Infidel) girls a thing or two, have at their disposal the ready belief that they can do no wrong, and in fact are doing right, by raping, stealing, threatening, making life hell for, whatever Infidels are around.
This makes criminal activity much easier. For all the business of "family values" in Islam, which it is implied is something that gurantees good behavior in society, the "family value" that is Islam has consequences for the Infidels among whom Muslims live (where they live in groups sufficiently large, and amidst populations sufficiently yielding and compliant -- so far this has been the case in Europe, but not yet in the United States)
How nice, too, for the heroin-pusher in question, that he can always justify his criminal activities as being part of the Jhad to "weaken" the Infidel societies.
If the world belongs to Allah, and if the Infidels get in the way when they behave as if they can retain their own lands, their own laws, customs, manners, and if those laws, customs, manners in so many ways flatly contradict the Shari'a ideal, then Muslims have a perfect right to wage war, using all the instruments of the Jihad to weaken, demoralize, divide the camp of the Infidels, at every level.
Query: why do Infidels not discuss doing the same, not by pushing drugs, but simply by ceasing to provide the Jizyah of foreign aid, and the enormous effort to establish functioning nation-states in Iraq and Afghanistan, when the "Somalia" solution -- no state, constant instability, warlords keeping Islamists at bay,, and so on -- without direct intevention by Infidels, would husband Infidel resources, and be far more effective in buying time and not using up Infidel support and resources, military and civlian.
Wait one F@cking minute! It seems to me that there's a "document" called "The Protocals of the Elders of Zion" that "those who misunderstand Islam" and they Dhimmi nazi/rightoid allies and kindred spirts are spreading throughout the Dar al Islam and even into the Dar al Harb, claiming that "the Jooz" are doing such things in order to destroy "the goyim."
But seriousely, these forged documents were spread for decades by the Saudis, who even had copies of them placed in every hotel room in the kingdom.
Am I the only one who sees the psychosis in these moonbats' accusing the Jews of doing what the Islamists themselves boast of daily?
OOps. Excuse the egregious typo in the above posting.
“It is a part of our noble responsibility to spoil the Western society with drugs”, Badruddoza said.
I guess Mr. Badruddoza is unaware of the reliance the Islamic Republic of Iran puts on the availability of cheap heroin to keep its very underemployed and large population of young males drugged out of their skulls and unlikely to rise up against the mullahocracy.
DesertDawgN29 may be on to something. Maybe the Protocols of the Elders of Zion are really the Protocals of the Elders of Arabia and the hapless Euros particularly the Germans just mixed up their semites. This would also explain why the Saudis insist in reprinting it around the world.
And what other non-secret has been spoken lately??
"He said, drugs for trafficking to Western destinations were coming from Afghanistan via Pakistan. “It is a part of our noble responsibility to spoil the Western society with drugs”, Badruddoza said."
So he is admitting that western society is better? Other wise it would not need "spoiling". How can people like this claim the West is debauched and that islam is the answer when muslims are pushing heroin in an attempt to destroy a society that actually works.
While Hugh is right, as usual, I'd go a step further. Use this as a pretext to ban all trade with dar-ul-Islam. If we have to buy oil, keep that on with the likes of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, now Libya, et al, but why do we have to trade with Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan and those we don't need to trade with?
Nice religion isn't it? Orders from the Boss to murder, steal, rape, and now to ruin people's lives with drugs. The Bible describes those who would be "poisoners" as pharmakia. They are compared to witchcraft (evil). Who is allah? Who is the "Father of lies?" Who revels in evil?

Gramfam-
No need to bomb opium fields.
Just send in unnamed CIA buyers (posing as mafiosos) to purchase all of the crops, truck the poppy residue away, and simply burn it.
Result?
The farmers are content, and prosperous (and not tempted by poverty into the ranks of the Taliban for looting and vengeance).
The heroin is never processed.
And the multifarious savings would pay for the project in:
fewer bombs needed, fewer addicts created, fewer police required to chase those fewer addicts, and less drug billions going to criminal cartels from the final (far more expensive) refined drugs, some of which will end up financing the jihad.
Meanwhile, the Peace Corps and other NGO's could slowly encourage the cultivation of real crops to replace the poppy- (amaranth, switch grass, etc?-) which will grow in the harsh Afghan terrain, and give a decent return on the crops to the farmers.
Buy it, don't bomb it.
Then burn it, don't spread it.
Maybe the new head of the CIA will be a more realpolitik machiavellian s.o.b. who can see that money will convince ( AKA bribe) these "tribal leaders" into better compiance than more boy scout speeches and crude crop eradication plans.
We need hard-eyed realists and not the purblind p.c. pussyfooters who got us to this dismal point in history.
Sorry Gramfan (not "Gramfam"... must be thinking of OXFAM?)
"that the Infidels have made this serum to make their children infertile, eunuch" If only!!!
Re the drugs - it's simply our noble responsibility not to use them.
Profitsbeard - interesting concept. If the crops were cheap enough that could make some sense, temporarily. But basically, are people in the west who get into that kind of shit great contributors anyway? Maybe we should be grateful for the 'survival of the fittest' element of weak-willed druggies taking themselves out enthusiastically.
I'm a dreadful person...
Profitsbeard,
Interesting ideas re the opium!
And re my user name - forgiven!
