New in PJ Media:
The world has become a significantly more dangerous place since the Biden regime began implementing its America-Last policies. The latest indication of this came on Wednesday, when border guards of Afghanistan and Pakistan fired upon one another, leading to the closing of one of the most important border crossings between the two countries. Is there going to be a war in central Asia on top of everything else? It could happen.
The Associated Press reported that “Pakistani authorities closed a key border crossing with landlocked Afghanistan on Wednesday shortly after border guards from the two sides exchanged fire, officials and residents said, in a sign of increasing tensions between the two neighbors.” Yes, indeed, AP, thanks for your marvelous insight: gunfire does indeed appear to be a sign of increasing tensions.
The reasons for the violent exchange were “not immediately made clear,” according to a Pakistani official, Nasrullah Khan. The conflict may, however, be connected with recent disputes between the Pakistani government and the Taliban regime in Kabul over a jihad group known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, or more commonly, the Pakistani Taliban.
On Aug. 6, VOA News reported that Taliban supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada had “labeled cross-border attacks, including those on Pakistan, as ‘haram’ or forbidden under Islam.” The Pakistan Taliban, in pursuit of an Islamically pure regime in Islamabad to go with the one in Kabul, had been conducting such attacks, and now the Afghan Taliban was withdrawing its support and seeking rapprochement with the Pakistani government. That rapprochement, however, was short-lived: on Aug. 22, the Pakistan Taliban, heedless of Hibatullah Akhundzada, killed six Pakistani soldiers.
And now this. The border incident between Pakistan and Afghanistan follows just weeks after tensions at the Afghan border with Iran threatened to erupt into full-scale war. IFP Media Wire reported on Aug. 7 that “the Taliban sent thousands of troops and hundreds of suicide bombers” to the Afghan border with Iran, “claiming the group is prepared for war with Iran over a water dispute.” Iran, in turn, “issued a warning to the Taliban.”
There is one person we have to thank for Afghanistan’s increasing regional belligerence: Old Joe Biden. Two years later, people are still paying the price for the catastrophe of Old Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. And people will be paying the price for decades to come.
The Associated Press reported on Aug. 22 that “more than 200 extrajudicial killings of former Afghan government officials and security forces have taken place since the Taliban took over the country two years ago, according to a U.N. report.” These were people the Taliban had promised not to kill, but as Muhammad said, “War is deceit” (Bukhari 4.52.268). Nine days before that, the Daily Mail reported that “militants who left fingerprints on IEDs meant to kill Americans in Afghanistan and a prisoner freed by the Taliban were among more than 65 terrorists allowed into the United States after the catastrophic withdrawal.” What could possibly go wrong? Celebrate diversity!
There is more. Read the rest here.

Let’s be honest here, nothing good comes out of Islam. Trying to convert Muslims to a less dangerous ideology is massive task with little chance of success.
It’d be like trying convert Christians to Atheism or vice versa…it can’t be done from the outside (the desire to convert usually comes from within).
Let’s also not forget Muslims have genocided up to 300 million people over 1400 years…depending on which scholar you ask.
The West rightly fought numerous wars to stop the spread of Communism…the same must be done with Islam.
There is no compromising with these people…either we go or they go.
While it’d be nice if Muslims just wiped each other out, I really doubt that’s going to happen, or they would’ve done it already. They have battles but they seem to breed more people than they kill off.
Additionally I oppose brutal forms of killing-I don’t want to feel sorry for my enemies. It’d be better if they were able to gas each other….it’s fast, less painful and effective generally speaking.
However we get there, it’d best for the world if Islam and Muslims all disappeared.

I wouldn’t blame this particular one on Biden. It’s just that Afghanistan has never respected the Durand line, & thinks it owns parts of Pakistan north-west of the Indus. Which is why given the power, they try to push that border inwards into Paki territory
Seriously, if a war breaks out b/w Afghanistan and Pakistan, the better it will be for the rest of us. We just need to stop admitting people of either country into the West, except maybe Christians, Hindus & Sikhs
