Ramadan in Afghanistan: Jihadis dressed as US soldiers try to shoot their way into Afghan Interior Ministry

Jun 3, 2018 2:06 pm By Robert Spencer

Muhammad said, “War is deceit.” (Bukhari 4.52.268).

“Gunmen dressed as US soldiers attack Afghan Interior Ministry,” by Chad Garland and Zubair Babakarkhail, Stars and Stripes, May 30, 2018:

KABUL, Afghanistan — Gunmen dressed as U.S. soldiers and traveling in a captured Humvee set off a suicide bomb and then tried to shoot their way into the Afghan Interior Ministry before being killed by government forces Wednesday, security officials said.

It’s not clear who carried out the attack — one of at least three that occurred in Afghanistan on Wednesday — that targeted the Interior Ministry’s compound a few hundred yards from Kabul’s airport and a coalition air base where Americans and their allies train Afghan forces.

Just after midday, a car bomb exploded at the entrance to the ministry compound, said Hashmat Stanekzai, spokesman for Kabul police.

“After that, several gunmen tried to get into the ministry, but they faced resistance by our security forces,” he said. “The attackers were not able to enter the ministry.”

The firefight ended a little more than two hour later, he said, and all the gunmen had been killed. He could not say how many other casualties there were besides the assailants.

At least one of the attackers was captured, Gen. John Nicholson, the top U.S. commander in the country, told reporters at the Pentagon via video conference later in the day.

But Nicholson disputed claims by the Islamic State group’s Afghanistan affiliate that it was responsible for the attack. Both the Taliban and ISIS have carried out attacks that have left hundreds dead in recent months. The Taliban, however, had not claimed responsibility for the attack.

The tactics smacked more of the Taliban’s Haqqani network, Nicholson said, referring to a brutal branch of the insurgent group considered its most capable. For example, their use of American uniforms and their targeting of a government facility.

“We have seen [American] uniforms used in the past,” the American general said. “It’s been well over a year since we’ve seen that.”…

    Related this this murderous Islamic violence in Afghanistan along with the topic of 9//11 and then the politically correct fabrication of false words and false terms is the following.

    The word “Islamism” is a fake word that uses made up after September 11, 2001 in order offend or upset non-violent Muslims. The real, actual, word is just “Islam.” Likewise, the world “Islamist” is also a bogus word that was made up after 9/11 in order not to offend or upset peaceful Muslims. To keep with reality, terms should better be used as “Islamic terrorist” or “Muslim terrorist” . Let’s call people and thing as the really are.
    Furthermore, the terms “Radical Muslim” and “Islamic extremist” in contrast to the term “Moderate Muslim” are actually Western terms and not that well known in the Islamic Middle East. This is because what In the Islamic mindset in the Muslim Middle East as well as in Indonesia and other Muslim controlled country what the non-Muslims of the Western nations view as “radical and “extremist” the Muslims of those places in the world see as “Normal” and even Devout and committed to the Cause of Islam”. Likewise they view those who Westerns see as “Moderate Muslims” those of the Islamic worldview and non-devout and non –committed Muslims. The violent jihadists even see them as “hypocrites.” Therefore, this explains the jihadist chant of those jihad-minded Muslims in different Islamic terror organizations. When they chant out loud “Death to infidels and hypocrites.” Meaning Death to people who and not Muslims and people who are non- violent and non- jihadist Muslims.

      Walter I appreciate your accurate observations as to the intent behind the creation and use of misleading words and terms. We believe we must first properly identify our enemy before defending ourselves. Great measures have been employed to ensure that we don’t come to the conclusion that it is simply ISLAM that is at war with us and our freedom. Every moment we remain frozen in fear of uttering an improper term describing the enemy …ISLAM wins.

      • PRCS says

        Jun 4, 2018 at 1:37 am

        Islam is the ideology.

        Muslims are its followers.

        “Islamism is a concept whose meaning has been debated in both public and academic contexts.” That its meaning is open to interpretation, by both them and us, is a problem.

        • gravenimage says

          No pious Muslim can really reject the oppression and slaughter of unbelievers.

    • Hindu American says

      Jun 3, 2018 at 9:28 pm

      US arms and equipment including humvees and uniforms are transferred by road from Karachi, Pakistan to Afghanistan. It is prohibitively expensive to ship these materials by air. These convoys are regularly attacked and looted by local pakis in full connivance with the Pakistani intelligence – ISI, and the stolen goods are then sold off to the taliban or sold in local markets.

      That’s how the taliban gets access to US war material.

        If you are to believe Hillary, Obama, and Eric Holder, they get them weapons from retail gun stores in the USA. That is why we needed the UN Small Arms Treaty, the foundation for global civilian disarmament — followed by servitude.

    Someone please tell me what has been accomplished in Afghanistan after nearly two decades of being there. If the people of Afghanistan want to live like they did 1400 years ago, I do not see how we can change their minds by training their armed forces.

    The west has tried many times in the past 2 centuries to force Afghanistan into the modern era. All we did was give them better weapons and better means to kill each other and kill us when we try to get them to stop.

    I have met some people from there that seemed to be able to integrate well into our society. But how many there have no intention of becoming modern and westernized?

    If the people of Afghanistan are unwilling to change, why should we continue this farce?

      • mortimer says

        Jun 3, 2018 at 7:58 pm

        Guy, your argument is oversimplification. Afghanistan did make advances into modernity during the Soviet occupation when universal education applied (as much as I abhor communism, this is factual). Under the Taliban, there were virtually NO INSTITUTIONS or societies in Afghanistan that promoted business, cultural and scientific affairs and no parliament. These institutions were created by the Allies and they are developing. Since the US and Allied occupation, there is a Ring Road around Afghanistan and a central highway through the middle of the country with a number of railways that connect Afghanistan to markets. The country has been extremely tribal, but that too is changing. We should not be pessimistic, because then NOTHING will change. Change is happening in Afghanistan even in spite of the Taliban and they can slow it, but not stop it.

        • Stacy Girl says

          Jun 3, 2018 at 10:53 pm

          We should contain this threat and stop pretending that thousands of innocent American and allied lives are necessary to “change” this death spiral. Nothing has ever been gained. Only lost.

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 3, 2018 at 6:04 pm

      Of course, this is crap. There was no genocide during the Crusades; defensive wars against Muslim aggression–or in Spain; a war to beat back Muslim conquest.

      Meanwhile, Ibrahim itace muhammed has said how much he personally looks forward to taking part in the genocide of the Jews–so this is nothing but projection.

    • mortimer says

      Jun 3, 2018 at 7:52 pm

      Ibrahim… MITHRAISM came about AFTER CHRISTIANITY and AFTER the New Testament. So you lose. Mithraism, also known as the Mithraic mysteries, was a mystery religion centered around the god Mithras that was practised in the Roman Empire from about the 1st to the 4th century CE.

      It is impossible to prove that Christianity came from Mithraism. Rather, Mithraism was probably influenced by Christianity.

      • Ibrahim itace muhammed says

        Jun 4, 2018 at 12:51 am

        mortimer, check history mithraism was being practiced 3000 BC and Paul smuggled its doctrines líke Godman and begotten son of God into christianity. See Bart Erhman’s works and that of Helen Ellerbe.

      • gravenimage says

        Jun 4, 2018 at 4:24 pm

        The Cult of Mithras was active in the Roman Empire from about the first through the fourth century AD, as Mortimer notes.

        Even were this true about Paul–which it cmost certainly is not–all of the Torah and most of the Gospels preceed St. Paul.

        Of course, Muslims do not care about this–they say that Jews and Christians “corrupted” their texts, which used to be as savage as the Qur’an.

        Never mind that this is completely ahistoric.

        But then,Ibrahim itace muhammed also claims that Jews worship a pagan mother goddess–so, consider the source…

    • Terry Gain says

      Jun 3, 2018 at 9:04 pm

      Ibrahim

      Why do you condone murder, rape, slavery and pedophilia. Is it because your role model engaged in these activities. Do you lack the intelligence to find a better role model?

      • Ibrahim itace muhammed says

        Jun 4, 2018 at 1:22 am

        Terry Gain, ít is your satan god who condone them where he inspired churchmen to carryout genocide killings and now having anus and vaginal sex with Kids.

      • gravenimage says

        Jun 4, 2018 at 5:07 pm

        Why does Ibrahim itace muhammed keep making this bogus claim? Of course, there is nothing in the Bible telling Christian churchmen to engage in pedophilia.

        However, this mohammedan has said that Muslims have the right to “marry” little children, not matter how young.

        There is also, of course, nothing in the Bible telling churchmen to engage in genocide–whereas, Ibrahim itace muhammed has said how much he personally looks forward to taking part in the genocide of the Jews.

        Clearly, this is all projection on his part.

      Ibrahim…The Church, The Roman Catholic Church under the pope Urban II carried out the first CRUSADES….Repeat the Roman Catholic CHURCH…….Yet you and others seem to class all Christians into this group and always revert back to the Crusades as a reason for the present conflict between Christians and muslims…….”WE” Christians had nothing to do with the Crusades…….Personally I don’t think Muslims should have “any” control in the Holy Land “The Promised Land” was promised to the Jews through their father Abraham, by God….
      Not to the Muslims,their father bring Ishmael, whom Abraham turned out of his house…….

      Jun 4, 2018 at 8:23 am

      Ibrahim, Christians and Jews do not worship a rock. Muslims do. That’s Mithraist. Mithras was born from a rock emerging with a sword and a torch and he had a cap on – just like Muhammad who gave birth to Islam inside a rock cave, exiting with a scimitar to kill and behead…and of course he had a cap on – his turban. Muslims have to go see a rock in Mecca and pray to it. Even Mithras, Muhammad, Muslim and Mecca all begin with the same
      letter – M. The fact that you just don’t get it when it comes to Mithraism, islam and rocks is pathetic.
