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

Afghan National Defense and Security Forces member murders one US soldier, wounds another

Nov 3, 2018 8:57 am By Robert Spencer

The Afghan National Defense and Security Forces are supposed to be on our side. One of the elements of the establishment media’s rap sheet on me, which supposedly establishes that I’m a bigoted “Islamophobe,” is that I’ve said that there is no reliable way to distinguish jihadis from peaceful Muslims, because peaceful Muslims have not made any particular effort to separate jihadis from their communities. Yet these ongoing insider attacks in Afghanistan prove me correct.

The fool’s errand in Afghanistan has no goal, no end point, no definition of victory. It should have been ended years ago, and should be ended now.

“US soldier killed in ‘apparent insider attack’ in Kabul – NATO,” RT, November 3, 2018 (thanks to David):

A US soldier has been killed and one more wounded in an “apparent insider attack” in Kabul, according to AFP citing NATO mission in Afghanistan. The attacker was reportedly killed.

NATO’s Resolute Support confirmed that the perpetrator served in the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces, according to Tolo.

The victim wounded in the shooting is in “stable condition” and was reportedly sent to Bagram Airfield, north of Kabul. The name of the deceased soldier has not been disclosed.

The incident comes less than two weeks after a NATO soldier was killed in another suspected insider attack in western Herat province. Another such incident occurred in Logar province on September 3….

    These soldiers are extremely BRAVE. I never cared about goin into a combat situation with my UNIT. I would have got out of the Army before I went as an Advisor to the Afghan Forces!

      Agree, Mac-101. The soldiers are as brave as they come.

        I don’t see brave soldiers here! I see fools who have NO idea of what kind minefield they are walking into! Hundreds of unsuspecting fools of US and Nato soldiers were murdered this way over the past few years and they don’t even know what hit them! See some of their pics below:

          Your perspective not mine. We are a Free Country. If the Jihadists, Muslim Brotherhood succeed in their plan in the US, Sharia won’t allow for it.

    With due respect for Mr. Spencer’s surpassing expertise on the jihad doctrine, I see no alternative to the EXTREME ISLAMIC FANATICISM in Afghastlistan, but to continue the OCCUPATION of Afghastlistan by an INTERNATIONAL POLICE FORCE as long as the country is so fanatical. Due to the country’s EXTREME FANATICISM (about 98% want strict Sharia), Afghastlistan cannot be trusted to RULE ITSELF or restrain itself from INVADING OTHER COUNTRIES or creating and sheltering terrorist organizations.

    There is no QUICK FIX for such a BACKWARD, BRONZE-AGE MENTALITY, but to a slow process of MODERNIZATION of peoples with very primitive,TRIBAL STUPIDITY, prejudice and superstition.

    By exposing Afghans to the surrounding world, expanding their infrastructure (road and rail links) and continuing their education, this hideously backward region will be dragged kicking and screaming into the modern era. This is not going to be easy. Not all solutions involve walking away from a problem.

      Dear Mort:

      I have been following the Afghan debacle since day one. As a result, I tried to learn as much as I could about the are. While I am not an expert, here is a synopsis of what I have learned.

      I have come across several old books in second hand stores and libraries that were written prior to the current political correctness nonsense. The inter tribal and religious wars have been going on in Afcrapistan for generations, probably millennia. There is nothing we can do that others have not tried to pacify the area, short of nuking it into a glass covered parking lot.

      The Afghans, if left alone, will soon resort to fighting each other again. Historically, the neighbors were attacked by various afghan tribes, but there has never been, nor ever will be at this rate, a viable country capable of invading and holding anything for any significant time. Who will they attack anyway? India, Russia, PRC, Pakistan, Iran? Good luck on that.

      Meanwhile, let us leave there, and if anyone wants to go there as an NGO to do humanitarian work, let them. If the government cannot protect them, then do not go there.

        Ishmael came back, Esau did not. MowHomid was a twisted soul who wanted attention!

        Jesus warned, if they’d say the messiah was in the desert don’t believe it. Jin was in the desert, in fact, in a cave in the desert.

        During Jacob’s trouble most of the semite’s will finally understand the Cross, yes, Isau too.

    There is some good news and real progress being made in Afghanistan:
    -Afghan military capabilities today are something that could only be imagined years ago.
    -the Afghan government is moving against corruption and nepotism .
    -the Afghan government is working to replace older, less professional military officers with better-trained and younger ones.
    -88 percent of the Afghan population does not support the Taliban.
    -The Taliban cannot challenge Afghan forces in pitched battles, so that is why they have reverted to attacks on civilian, soft targets.
    -the Afghan Special Forces always win whenever they are in fights with the Taliban and their effectiveness is growing.
    -there is a definition of success in Afghanistan and it is to make the Afghan government capable of independently dealing with its own internal rebellions.
    -the American ‘quick fix’ mentality is not helpful in solving the problem. It will require continued patience. These are severely fanatical people, but their attitudes are being gradually changed as they become more urbanized.
    -Kabul has grown from 1 M in 2001 to 5M today.

      Sorry. I can NOT see ever improving any 3rd world country, especially Muslim one, that has a high birth rate. Afghanistan had a population explosion when I was there and the more food we supplied the more babies they made. Bein Muslim they would never accept a RED China solution so their population most likely is still exploding. You can’t F your way out of poverty.

      • mortimer says

        Nov 3, 2018 at 2:40 pm

        Agree with much of what you say, Mac. The only solution to the high birth rate is the GIRL EFFECT produced by EDUCATING ALL GIRLS UNIVERSALLY. This will have the greatest impact by curbing child marriage and reducing the birth rate. EDUCATED WOMEN CHOOSE TO HAVE CAREERS and thus produce fewer children.

        The Taliban knows this and tries to SHUT DOWN SCHOOLS.

        NO SIMPLE, EASY-FIX solution is available. This is long haul. It must be undertaken or the Taliban will create even bigger problems in the world.

        Girls’ education in Afghanistan must be addressed as a human right and the government of Afghanistan forced to ensure all children are educated. Half of them are still not in school and of those in school less than 40% are girls. Much to be done.

        • Mac-101 says

          Nov 3, 2018 at 3:08 pm

          We tried that and schools that taught girls were attacked the most. I used to watch the women walk up mountains up to 12,000 feet to pick up sticks and some brush the goats did NOT eat so as to boil their water. In the early summer you would see the herdsman up in the top of the mountains with the goats eatin everything that is green.
          .
          The mountains are completely denuded. They are a bronze color from the massive copper deposits. In ole National Geographic Magazines they were all forest with tigers and everythin else. It ALL looks like high desert due to complete defoliate of every living thing.
          .
          If climate change is due to human activity it will be due to the eradication of the Rain Forests and Jungles throughout the world and NOT a small % of CO2.

      Unfortunately, Mortimer, Muslims are using these Afghan military capabilities to murder Americans. Not such good news, I’m afraid.

    A waste of time, effort, money, and lives. You cannot force people to accept our values, morals, and lifestyle. The only people that can do that are the Afghans themselves. Unfortunately, they are very tribal, and at the drop of a hat, attack each other.

    If people wish to volunteer to go and provide humanitarian help, let them. When the Afghan people wake up and throw out the bums that enslave them, then it will get better, not before.

    The wonderful, peaceful, next door paradise of Pakistan shows you how they populace welcomes western values, ideals, and knowledge. They make nukes to kill infidels with while the people go without education, modern healthcare, adequate food, clean water, or basic sanitation. Just another paradise, right?

      I think that the guy who was killed was a Utah mayor named Brent Taylor (please correct me if I’m wrong, or if I got his name wrong) who was temporarily volunteering as a soldier, and was a father of seven back in the U.S. (Perhaps he was a Mormon?).

      • gravenimage says

        Nov 4, 2018 at 7:40 pm

        Thank you, Alex. I had not known anything specific about the victim. Here is more on Brent Taylor:

        “Utah mayor Brent Taylor killed while serving in Afghanistan”

        https://www.nbcnews.com/news/military/utah-mayor-brent-taylor-killed-while-serving-afghanistan-n931096

        He sounds like a good man. What a terrible loss.

      The man who died was in the reserves his name is Brent Taylor father of seven. He was the mayor of a small town in Utah .This was his third activation in the reserves. Many in the reserves have gone over there many time .You do not volunteer you are sent there as part of your pack for signing up for the reserves. That country is a lost cause tribes fighting tribes for over a thousand years only united when outsiders dumb enough think they can solve the problems of true Moslems .I have work with many people that are in the reserves ,that is their opinion in most cases having seen the violence and tribal warfare there ,!4 years the longest America has been at war in anytime in history to protect a stone age people who would kill all of us in America if they had a chance. I hope Trump thinks on pulling the plug on this mess, Bush started it , and Obama did little to end it .

    Major Brent Taylor was my Mayor. We have tried our best to honor him and his family.
    Some us ore now interested in finding out more information on the other soldier who was wounded and who you say was taken to Bagram Air Field north of Kabul. Do you have a name, hometown, or whether he is still in Kabul or sent home or elsewhere for treatment? Or do you know where we should go for more information on him/her?
