Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Afghanistan: Mullah murders U.S. Army veteran and aid worker

Dec 21, 2015 4:40 pm By Robert Spencer

A mullah? Inconceivable! How could a man who has dedicated his life to understanding Islam correctly and teaching it to others properly get the crazy, Islamophobic idea that jihad had something to do with killing Infidels? How could he have misunderstood Islam so spectacularly, and in such an utterly unprecedented way? John Kerry and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops should team up forthwith and send an Expert on Islam (say, some learned non-Muslim State Department wonk, or an Eastern Catholic bishop who speaks Arabic and can thus communicate with this poor, benighted mullah, who almost certainly knows Arabic in addition to his native language) over to Kabul to teach this imam the true, peaceful nature of Islam. This misunderstanding can be easily cleared up as soon as the two of them sit down together and open up the Qur’an, and breathe in its soothing words of peace.

Lisa-Akbari

“Mullah Allegedly Shoots U.S. Army Veteran Dead in Afghanistan,” By Morgan Chalfant, Washington Free Beacon, December 21, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

American Lisa Akbari believed to have been killed by mullah with terrorist ties

A U.S. Army veteran and aid worker was shot to death in Kabul, Afghanistan, Sunday night allegedly by a mullah.

NBC News reported that Lisa Akbari, a former research manager for the U.S. Army, was shot and killed in her apartment complex. The U.S. Embassy confirmed Akbari’s death Monday.

Akbari was shot dead when leaving the gym in her apartment building, according to CNN, and a Kabul district police chief said that a mullah allegedly carried out the attack.

Fraidoon Obaidi, the police chief, said that the mullah was arrested and being questioned. He was reportedly detained less than three miles from the scene of the attack and sustained injuries during his arrest.

Obaidi further stated that investigators found documents in the unnamed suspect’s home that indicate he has links to terrorist groups.

Obaidi did not specify to which groups the mullah appears to be linked.

Akbari, a dual U.S.-Afghan citizen, worked for the U.S. Army for four years ending in 2013 and later became an aid worker for World Vision and other aid agencies in Afghanistan. She had been living in Kabul for three years.

According to the Afghan TOLO News agency, the mullah lived in the same apartment complex as Akbari.

Akbari’s death came hours before a suicide car bombing killed six U.S. soldiers and wounded three others near Bagram Airfield in the deadliest attack on foreign troops since August. Two of those wounded were American troops and the other an interpreter.

    Afghanistan is descending deeper into the abyss that it once had a glimmer of hope escaping–I think of the Westernizing, secular winds that reached Kabul circa 1970.

    Half of Afghanistan is now controlled by the Taliban–and, thanks to Obama and Kerry, the rest will soon be under their rule, all with Obama’s tacit blessing.

    So much for Obama’s diplomatic engagement with our enemies.

      I agree with you. Here is how I imagine the conversation taking place in D.C..

      The child-in-chief will say…….
      Whhhaaaat? Uh that is not uh uh possible, I uh fixed dat.

      The other one (grey haired white dude) will say….
      You are absolutely correct mr. odumbo (as he crawls out from under the child-in-chief’s desk)….

    She was an Afghan-American, a dual-citizen. She had a Master’s Degree in Psychology and had worked as a clinical psychologist. She was an analyst for the Army, she worked for World Vision, and in organizing women’s shelters in Afghanistan. One can only wonder if she knew or suspected something about the imam and if he was connected to the car bombing near Bagram.

    Blaming her for her own murder (see above comment) as a knee-jerk response, is despicable.

    “Lisa Akbari”.

    An apostate from Islam??

    it’s possible.

    If she was an apostate then she was murdered in order to punish her for having left Islam.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Dec 21, 2015 at 5:32 pm

      Not, I think, after further investigation, an apostate, but not, I think, a Muslim.

      Apparently she was born and raised in the USA – Afghan father, American mother.

      Her full name is “Lisa Marie Akbari’. The “Lisa Marie” suggests that her mother raised her either secular or Christian, or that she herself *chose* to be secular or Christian. One of the organisations for which she worked was World Vision, which was established and is, I think, still run by Christians.

      Of course, Muslims count the children of a Muslim father as Muslim, whether the children want to be Muslim or not, and even if the children have *never* practised as Muslims and adamantly insist that they are and choose to be something else.. which then makes the children liable to be killed as ‘apostates’, to punish them for having left…the belief system to which they never subscribed in the first place…. that is why the Muslims in the Sudan set out to murder Meriam nee Ibrahim, Mrs Daniel Wani, because she was the raised-and-professing Christian daughter of an absent Muslim father, and had married a Christian.

        Dec 21, 2015 at 5:48 pm

        It’s entirely possible he killed her for such a reason, or for working for the kuffar or for causing corruption in the land, or for refusing his advances, or all of the above, or in connection to the bombing that took place hours later. Just sad and infuriating, one more American tombstone courtesy of Afghanistan.

        But why Afghanistan?

        There are plenty of at-home in the USA opportunities for helping those in need.

        Muslim nations, as a rule, are a lost cause. At this point, I’d just leave them be to their own destruction, and western nations pull out all our troops.

        Just think of all the lives and money saved.

      • gravenimage says

        Dec 21, 2015 at 10:29 pm

        Yes–I just learned that her full name is Lisa Marie.

        Definitely Christian or Western secular–this is *not* a Muslim name.

        And from that picture it looks as though she often went unveiled.

        And how many aid workers have Muslims murdered?

        An obvious non-Muslim charitable and independent woman? Everything that vicious Muslim clerics hate.

    Obama, Bush and other ‘leaders’ who shove down our throats the stupid idea that Islam is a religion of peace have a lot of blood on their hands as enablers.

    • Wellington says

      Dec 21, 2015 at 7:56 pm

      Yes they do. I expect a doofus like Obama to put forward that rot about Islam being a ROP, but to see so many Republicans, including the new Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, distance themselves from Trump’s comment about putting at least a temporary ban on Muslim immigration to the US is disgusting.

      You’re right. They’re enablers and they do have blood on their hands. This point needs to be driven home time and time again, not in some nativist, bigoted way but as “merely” a statement of fact about the spiritual fascism which is Islam. Not there yet and America and all the West is in huge trouble because the Western elites won’t see Islam, refuse to see Islam in spite of copious evidence to the contrary, for the malevolence which it is.

        More Ham Ed said: “But they didn’t write the unholy ko ‘ran now did they.”

        Indeed.

        She is a victim of all who support the pretence of a “Moderate” Islam.

        Clearly, she heard the lie so much, asserted by so many individuals in high places, she believed the lie, and doing so cost her life.

        No they did not.

        What they do is propagate the lie of a Moderate Islam. They pretend a Muslim is free to live their livesdisregarding that in the Qur’an and that in the Sunnah of the “Prophet” of Islam.

        Some devout may suffer such “wrongdoing” for a while, but not forever. In brief.

    After 8 UN workers were massacred by a mob incited by the local Imam Gen Petraus crawled on his belly apologizing for the US. It’s worse than that but I don’t have the stomach to repeat it all here.

    Read this article for parallels on Afghanistan and Iraq and with how we’re fighting terrorism today. We are totally failing when it comes to identifying the enemy, stating our objectives and destroying our enemies. We should do with Islam the same as we did with the other state religion in Japan; Shinto. This was a policy of NO negotiation. Our policy was “surrender or die”. There status as a “defeated enemy and the democratic reforms were hammered into the heads of every man, woman and child in Japan.

    Or was it a crime of honor killing? The creep was rejected in his offer of marriage so pride demanded her murder. The other possibility is she is a convert to Christianity (World Vision is a Christian aid organization) and was killed as an apostate or evangelist.
