Pakistan: Six top Taliban commanders pledge allegiance to Islamic State

Oct 14, 2014 1:21 pm By Robert Spencer

ShahidullahShahidThe caliphate is a might-makes-right proposition, and has been throughout Islamic history. If the Islamic State can hold power for a sustained period, more and more Muslims will pledge allegiance to it.

“Six top TTP commanders announce allegiance to Islamic State’s Baghdadi,” by Zahir Shah Sherazi, Dawn, October 14, 2014:

PESHAWAR: Six top commanders of the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan, including spokesman Shahidullah Shahid, have announced their allegiance to Abu Bakar Al-Baghdadi of the Islamic State and an allegiance statement was also issued in this regard.

Shahidullah Shahid in the statement said he along with five TTP district chiefs have announced their allegiance to IS, also known as Daish, and would be their lead fighters in Pakistan.

The statement did not elaborate on the stance of the six on Mullah Omar, chief of the Afghan Taliban widely regarded by militant groups in Afghanistan and Pakistan as the Amirul Momineen (leader of the faithful).

“I am confirming my allegiance to Amirul Momineen Abu Bakar Al-Baghdadi and would abide by all his decisions, whatever is the order, and whatsoever the circumstances, I shall be loyal to him and obey his orders,” Shaidullah Shahid said in a statement issued in Arabic and Urdu.

Shahidullah said he along with TTP amir for Orakzai Agency Saeed Khan, TTP’s Kurram Agency chapter chief Daulat Khan, Fateh Gul Zaman, who heads TTP in Khyber Agency, TTP’s Peshawar amir Mufti Hassan and TTP’s Hangu chief Khalid Mansoor, was announcing allegiance to Abu Bakar Al-Baghdadi Al Qureshi Al-Hussaini.

Shahidullah further said that the statement was on his and the five commanders’ behalf and had nothing to do with TTP.

He added that TTP chief Mullah Fazlluah had extended his support to Al-Baghdadi but had not announced allegiance to Daish. How will the decision of the six TTP commanders be viewed and taken by Fazlullah whose allegiance currently lies with Mullah Omar is still a matter of speculation but the announcement comes at a time when the outlawed group is already experiencing fissures and is the main target of a military operation in North Waziristan.

Shahidullah further said that he had already extended his allegiance three times to Al-Baghdadi and it was the fourth time that he and his associates were extending allegiance to the IS chief.

Shahidullah said he first announced support to Al-Bagdadi before the latter’s announcement of Khilafat, the second time in last Ramazan through Abu Huda Sudani, a third time through Abu Al-Khitab Shami through telephone and now again….

    Our modern western leaders are so bad they are not just losing #Obama’sPhoneyWar against IS, but losing the Battles of Lepanto, Vienna, Tours, the Crusades, and the Barbary Wars as well.

    It’s never been better to be middle aged. I’d hate to be young. I’ve never once thought that my entire life until recently.

      Stay young Beagle, this is far from a loss. It is the anniversary of Charles the Hammer’s defeat of the Caliphate, this week anyway, despite what we see and hear everyday, that little piece of history always makes me smile. A monstrous jihadist force defeated! We are fortunate to be alive now, perhaps we will see a final end to this evil in our lifetime and I would guess I’m much older than most posters here!

        I tried to stay young as hard as I could. Dang it.

        But yes, who knows how things will go? While IS is winning, gaining allies, and recruiting like no other jihad group in modern times, the Third Reich looked promising in late 1941. By the end of 1944 Hitler was hiding in a bunker. Sadly, Obama is the golfer of the free world. FDR, for all his many flaws, wanted the Allies to win the war and permitted his military to make that happen.

          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

          As far as I’m concerned, obama can finish out his term playing golf–non-stop. Everytime he does his *job* and gets involved as president, obama makes things much worse and more dangerous for the American people; and, obama is far and away the worst president this country has ever had.

          Yes, play golf, obama …please play golf to your >evil< heart's content. And I'm not sure if obama's a good golfer, but he certainly is a lousy leader.

    Ohh, I guess we better send Pakistan more “aid” right away. Or would it be easier and more expedient to just sell them high tech weapons directly to be use against us?

    Pakistan: Six top Taliban commanders pledge allegiance to Islamic State

    In other words: they are evildoers committed to carrying out EVIL in the name of allah: satan. BTW, allah is NOT the God of the Bible.

    And …”Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.” — Romans 12:9

    I hate islam …but I *love* the good shepherd, Jesus Christ!

    ISIS, Taliban, and all Islamic organizations; all peas in the same pod, or birds of the same feather, or just part of the excrement in the same cess pool!

    Not surprised at all.
    All muslim terrorist organisation are essentially the same fighting for the same cause, just under different banners.

    Another thing to be noticed here, perhaps many JWrs would already have noticed, in the Islamic state (ISIS) training videos all the mohammedan terrorist recruits and their trainers are wearing the ‘salwar kameez’ which is the national dress of pakistan it’s also the dress of ‘pakistan military rangers’.

    “Six top Taliban commanders pledge allegiance to Islamic State”

    ISIL, the Taliban, Hamas, Al Nusra front, Al Shabab, Boko Haram etc. they are ALL offshoots of the same international terrorist organization: the Muslim Brotherhood, which represents the true face of Islam.
    We cannot defeat ISIL unless we defeat the MB. Period.
    Unfortunately, we cannot defeat the MB until we kick them out of power (i.e. out of the W.H.)

    @Champ: I’m also of the mind that Obama’s fundamental laziness is the silver lining of this administration. Staying on the golf links is the best thing the O can do for his country given his position; staying home and being a good grandmother is the best thing Shrillary Shroooo can do for the country, too.

    As for these Pakhtun cavemen with AK’s rather than spears and their allegiance to the Caliphate, civilization has bypassed Afghanistan and the NWF of Pathologicalstan for the past several centuries. Maybe a nuke over Qandahar would be an appropriate response to the next 9/11. Nation-building there just won’t work.

    My money is also on IS ultimately being able to build on its conquests, and emulating its 7th century predecessor by its leaders going out by assassination–without the conquests the original Caliphate made.

    AHHA! I ALWAYS SUSPECTED THE TALIBAN WASN’T ISLAMIC

    And now we have proof./sarc
