Afghanistan: Muslims shoot and kill six workers at US-run Bagram Airfield

Apr 18, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Earlier this week, the U.S.’s top commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Scott Miller, and U.S. Special Envoy Zalmay Khalilzad visited Pakistan to discuss peace efforts with the country’s officials.”

Looks as if those talks are going great. It is long past due that the American troops in Afghanistan should be brought home, and this fool’s errand ended.

“Six Afghan workers killed outside Bagram Airfield,” by Phillip Walter Wellman, Star and Stripes, April 17, 2020:

KABUL, Afghanistan — Six Afghans who worked at Bagram Airfield were shot dead Thursday just outside the base, an Afghan official said.

The workers were driving home in a motorized rickshaw and were about 500 yards from the base when an unidentified gunman began shooting at about 10 p.m., said Wahida Shahkar, a spokeswoman for the governor of Parwan province, where Bagram is located.

“These people were ordinary workers at Bagram, like cleaners and others,” Shahkar said, adding that three others were injured in the attack….

The Taliban denied responsibility for the shooting in a statement Friday, though they have long considered Afghan workers on foreign bases and embassies legitimate targets. No other group immediately claimed responsibility….

The attacks have come as the U.S. works toward a full withdrawal of foreign forces by mid-2021, if the Taliban abides by conditions outlined in a Feb. 29 agreement. The Taliban must help keep terrorists from operating in Afghanistan and hold talks with the Kabul government, among other terms of the agreement made public.

However, Taliban attacks on Afghan forces, disagreements over prisoner exchanges and political infighting have hampered the peace process.

Earlier this week, the U.S.’s top commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Scott Miller, and U.S. Special Envoy Zalmay Khalilzad visited Pakistan to discuss peace efforts with the country’s officials.

    Having talks in Pakistan with the perpetrators of violence is problematic. Pakistan supports the Taliban overtly and covertly and has no interest in Afghanistan returning to peace. Pakistan does the same strategy of supporting militants on the border with India too. The US needs to stop dealing with Pakistan and deem it a terrorist sponsor state.

      All true. Of course, there is nowhere that you could negotiate with these murderous Muslim thugs that would work, because they are not looking for peace.

        +1 So much for the peace talks with the terrorists.

    Afghanistan because of Islam serves as the most mountainous geological anus of the world.

    And respecting metaphorical “anal matters,” Islam is simply superb here. Holy Hell, just look at how the exceedingly foolish, deluded followers of the most nefariously influential religion pray—asses in the air and why I wish they would often be referred to as Buttlims rather than Muslims.

    Enough said, except to note a general rule I think quite valid, and that is that mocking malevolence is the next best thing to crushing it. Indeed, mocking and thereafter crushing evil are very often related (e.g., Charlie Chaplin’s 1940 film The Great Dictator—and yes, I know that Chaplin himself was a reprobate and didn’t appreciate America but this is independent of this movie).

    Never more so than with Islam has this become an imperative in our time. So, mock Islam and Mohammed and you go a long way to destroying it. Oh yeah, mock away. No quarter. None.

      Yes–WWII was a high point for the mockery of evil. The Three Stooges did it, Spike Jones did it, Bugs Bunny did it, Daffy Duck did it.

      Everyone should be making fun of Islam and its “Prophet” in just the same way.

      I agree – mock the brain dead recidivists at every turn, an approach facilitated by the sheer stupidity of both the belief and the believers.

    Afghans have to be convinced that Islam is false. That is the only thing that will stop the jihad in this most Islamic of all countries. Afghans are the most fanatical and self-hypnotized of all Muslim.

      Afghanistan is 100% Islamic. Why are they going to listen to the ‘filthy Infidels’?

    We need to quit playing with these terrorist countries, either get out or bomb the hell out of them. Death is the only thing these scum bags understand, they will shake hands with you and stab you in the back with the other hand at the same time. Beings our governments do not want to provoke China or Russia we need to get out of the fights and shutoff all including oil business with them. They can’t eat sand for long. We also need to close immigration of all islamic people, they are not compatible with western life styles.
