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

Afghanistan: Policeman murders 8 of his fellow officers, takes their weapons to the Taliban

Sep 9, 2018 5:14 pm By Robert Spencer

One of the chief elements of the rap sheet on me from the Southern Poverty Law Center and its allied Islamic supremacist groups such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations is that I have said that there is no reliable way to distinguish jihadis from peaceful Muslims. And here we are.

“Eight Afghan police killed in insider attack,” Reuters, September 9, 2018:

KABUL (Reuters) – An Afghan policeman shot dead at least eight fellow officers, burned their bodies and took their weapons to join Taliban militants, provincial officials said on Thursday, adding to the toll from dozens of insider attacks in this year alone.

The latest insider attack occurred in northeastern Takhar province, and came just days after a U.S. soldier was killed by an Afghan policeman in eastern Logar province, the second American to be killed in an insider attack this year.

“The incident happened early Thursday morning, after a local police opened fire on his colleagues sleeping in a checkpoint in Khwaja Ghar district,” Takhar provincial police spokesman, Khalil Asir said. He said the bodies were later set on fire and burned.

The perpetrator was apparently connected with the Taliban, Asir said, adding that he fled to the group taking weapons.

Insider attacks by Afghan soldiers or police or by attackers wearing uniform have been a major problem in recent years. There are far more insider attacks on Afghan security forces than on Western forces.

Between December and May, there were 47 so-called “green-on-green” attacks involving members of the Afghan security forces turning on their colleagues, with casualties from insider attacks up 50 percent, according to a Pentagon report in June….

    There is no way to distinguish them because they are ALL committed to further the spread of Islam.
    They only differ in the methods they employ to carry out this mission.

      Well, not EVERY Muslim is committed to furthering the spread of Islam.

      But, as there are consequences for failure to do so when push comes to shove……

    Peaceful Muslims die before they are summoned to jihad. Easy to tell, after they die. Hint: the ones who scream Alllah hu akbar right before they die probably aren’t peaceful.

      not a religion, this is Satan controlling their minds of the unbelievers of the original Creator of the heavens and earth, Jehovah(in English) psalm 83 verse 18 tells us there is only one God and he has a plan to rid the earth of all false religion and all the evil upon it, by Armageddon, brought on by Jesus and his mighty Angels just for this purpose of bringing a peaceful earth where people want to do the right thing. It is an awesome thing to fall into the hands of the LIVING GOD not some long dead so called prophet gone back to the dust.

    I like Coulter’s idea:

    “Ann Coulter to Trump: ‘Bring Our Troops Home, Put Them on the Border’”

    Stop all aid, military support, and training missions to this ungrateful hell hole.

    The Chicoms and Russkis think getting into bed with Afghanistan and Pakistan is a good political move. Let them. The romance will not last long. The best outcome of that would be that Pakistan and Afghanistan would be too busy to stir up trouble in India.

    As the French police might put it — No evidence that this had anything to do with terrorism. Maybe the poor little guy had a mental problem. (sarcasm)

    And they want to integrate them in our Forces!

    • Guy Forester says

      They already are integrated into our police forces (see about the Somali guy that murdered the Aussie lady in Minneapolis)

      They are already in our military. Remember the “workplace violence” at Fort Hood, among others?
