An Afghan policeman? Why, wasn't he a "moderate"? Here again we are confronted with the impossibility of distinguishing a "moderate" from a "radical" Muslim. Given the almost universal acceptance of the iron dogma that Islam is a Religion of Peace™ that has been hijacked by a tiny minority of extremists, this impossibility may come as a surprise. But in reality, there is no mainstream sect of Islam or school of Islamic jurisprudence whose authorities have renounced and rejected violent jihad and Islamic supremacism, and declared that anyone who holds to the idea that Muslims have a collective responsibility to wage war against Infidels and subjugate them under the rule of Islamic law is a heretic.
If there were such a sect or school in Afghanistan or elsewhere where there is an American military presence, one could rely on the peaceful group and shun the group that taught violence. But there is no such group. Contrary to popular belief, not only is the principle of jihad warfare against unbelievers not the province of a "tiny minority of extremists," but it is taught by every mainstream sect and school of Islam.
The U.S. government, of course, denies this fact and bases numerous policies upon the assumption that the vast majority of Muslims share universally accepted notions of human rights, and abhor jihad terrorism. And that is just one reason our policy in Afghanistan is foredoomed.
"Senior Afghan policeman held over planting bombs," from the BBC, February 8 (thanks to Java):
A senior Afghan policeman has been arrested in connection with planting and storing roadside bombs, Nato officials said.The policeman was held by Afghan and coalition forces in northern Parwan province on Friday.
A Nato statement said that the policeman was "linked to criminal activities, including a murder."
Roadside bombs are frequently used to attack foreign and Afghan forces in Afghanistan, correspondents say....
The BBC seems to think that Poverty Causes Terrorism, a common notion that has been disproven again and again:
Correspondents say policemen in Afghanistan are badly equipped and poorly paid.Many in the force complain that they are neglected and morale in many police units is low.
Perhaps the Americans just weren't nice enough to him. Perhaps they didn't give him all the training he desired, or enough food to feed his family of 50, or possibly they were not sufficiently eager to issue visas for that family of 50 to move to the United States so that they could avoid being "persecuted" in Afghanistan. Any number of things might have set him off. Goodness. No wonder he planted bombs to blow up Infidels. They had it coming -- they've had it coming for 1350 years. And then some.
"Afghani Policeman" - possible oxymoron?
When Muslims get into senior positions in the police (or military) you inevitably get trouble http://crombouke.blogspot.com/2010/02/ali-dizaei-muslim-police-corruption.html
And in a broader context:
Operation Overlord, Normandy, France, 1944, was a secret which was kept from the Nazi enemy;
Operation Moshtarak, Helmand, Afghanistan, 2010, is open knowledge which the West shares with its Islamic jihadist Taliban enemy.
Infidel dogs surprised at being treated as infidel dogs, again?
How many times does a rake have to fly up and hit someone in the face before they stop stepping on rake tines on the lawn?
How many infidel dogs have to be slaughtered by two-faced (as recommended by the Koran) Islamic warriors before they stop trusting such Muslim believers in an ideology which demands that such unclean kaffirs be given a chance to either: convert to the Mohammedan despotism, by subjugated and enslaved, or exterminated?
This bloody idiocy is beyond tedious lunacy.
It is willful ignorance leading to Civilizational suicide.
Sean, dont be a coward by blaming Muslims...You must be a a barbarians coz me too wont say bad things about christians as this is going to be an endless war and accusations since your grandpa not born to this world.
Where did you learn to speak english?

"dont be a coward by blaming Muslims."
Your right Muslims are not the problem, it's that monstrous book from Hell the Qu"ran.
No surprise here.I wouldn't turn my back on one of these people even if we were in the same army.
"A coward for blaming Muslims!" Who planted the bombs?Who
are threatening those who leave Islam or is critical of it?
Why is there beefed up security at airports all over the world?Why are countries all over the world so security conscious?Who else is promised 72 virgins for killing
themselves and others,'in the name of Allah'?Who flies planes filled with passengers into buildings?We all know the
answer,but some are too politcally correct or uninformed
to give the correct answer.
