Why not? Because the Afghan government is Sunni, as are the Islamic State jihadis. If the Islamic State targets Rafidite dogs, that doesn’t bother the Afghan government in the least.
“Afghanistan’s Shi’ites call for protection after latest mosque attack,” Reuters, August 26, 2017:
Victims of the latest attack on Shi’ite Muslims in Afghanistan directed their anger squarely at the Afghan government, accusing it of failing to protect them despite repeated attacks.
Suicide bombers and gunmen, some dressed in police uniforms, attacked a mosque in Kabul during prayers on Friday, killing more than 40 people and wounding more than 100, according to mosque leaders.
Many of the victims were women trapped on the mosque’s second floor.
The United Nations put the preliminary toll at 20 civilians killed and more than 30 wounded, while the Interior Ministry said 28 people died and 50 were wounded.
At least 30 victims were buried on Saturday on the grounds of the same mosque as hundreds of family members, friends, and other mourners gathered under bullet-marked buildings.
Inside the mosque itself, blood was spattered everywhere and the walls were burned and scarred.
“The government does not care about us,” said Akhtar Hussain as he attended the funeral of a relative. “What should we expect from a government that has never tried to protect us?” Islamic State-affiliated militants claimed responsibility for the attack, the latest in a number of deadly assaults on Afghanistan’s Shi’ite population.
Sectarian violence has been relatively rare in Afghanistan, but since 2015 Islamic State militants have helped escalate fears by killing scores of Shi’ites at mosques, public gatherings and elsewhere.
Friday’s attack was the sixth attack on Shi’ite mosques so far this year, with Islamic State claiming responsibility for half of them, according to the UN….

I don’t care how much we expend in Afghanistan. If it’s still a Muslim country in the end it will be resources squandered.

Yawwwnnn, just a minor jihad mass murder attack that killed more in a second than were killed in the entire American Civil Rights struggle (41 according to the memorial in Montgomery, AL).

More whining and victim claims. They been killing each other and everyone else for 1400+ years. What a great idea it is to import them into Christian lands…very smart leaders don’t you think?

Brigitte Gabriel summed it up nicely when discussing Sunni and Shia Muslims, “If you want to understand the nature of the enemy we face, visualize a tapestry of snakes. They slither and they hiss, and they could eat each other alive, but they will unite in a hideous mass to achieve their common goal of imposing Islam on the world. This is the enemy we are fighting. You hear about Wahhabi Islam as the only extreme form of Islam. All the other Muslims are wonderful moderates. What about the suicide bombers who are Egyptians, Lebanese, Palestinians, Syrians, Iraqis, and the Iranians? People of these nationalities were not raised in Saudi Arabia, but the common thread between them is written in the Koran. They are simply practicing Muslims. They are not the extreme, they are the mainstream.”

IQ, I used to think that the measure of same had some value. Not so much anymore. The ability to think critically, wisdom, morality, often seems to be missing in those who supposedly possess a high IQ.

Only by studying history can we hope to retain any sense of just what is happening today and how we can prevent the mistakes of the past repeating themselves.

Muslims are still living In a non-21st centuries world.
It took Europe many painful centuries to get over the Catholic -Protestant animosity.
The world has moved on !

Yup. Exactly.
When adherents of the non-violent religion of Christianity took many ‘painful’ centuries to tame transcend their violent urges, how long could the adherents of the most violent religion on Earth take?!
A long, long time. And their ancient Shia-Sunni animosity has just begun in full force once again, to begin with. Then there are the Muslim-Hindu, Muslim-Christain, Muslim-Jewish, Muslim-Buddhist, etc. animosities…………………..
This Jihad has just begun. I’m afraid we ain’t seen nothing yet. Many terror attacks are being plotted by committed Jihadis, right now, globally. Then there are nukes, chemicals, viruses, germs, radioactive material………….

When you say “Rafidite dogs”, do you mean animals that say “woof”, or is this some sort of insult that people are being called? I can’t tell.
