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

Afghanistan: Government to release 400 ‘hard-core’ Taliban prisoners in bid to start peace talks

Aug 10, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Releasing 400 Taliban jihadis doesn’t herald peace talks, but surrender talks. It has been a foregone conclusion for years that the Taliban would take over Afghanistan after the Americans left, but that is not an argument for keeping American troops in Afghanistan perpetually. The military should focus on making sure that Afghanistan does not and […]

Afghanistan: Ghani approves release of 1500 Taliban prisoners with “written guarantee to not return to battlefield”

Mar 12, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“An unnamed member of the Taliban’s leadership council…accused the government of acting in bad faith, saying it only planned to release ‘those prisoners who are elderly, very ill, or those whose sentences have expired.” But if they’re promising not to return to the battlefield, why does he care if they’re “elderly” or “very ill”? The […]

Afghanistan: Islamic State claims rockets that hit presidential compound during inauguration

Mar 11, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Some people will seize on this as evidence that U.S. troops must stay in Afghanistan. In reality, Islamic State activity there should be contained, and a strong response given if they hit American installations. But that doesn’t require that troops be there indefinitely. “Islamic State Claims Rocket Attack Targeting Afghan Inauguration: Statement,” Reuters, March 9, […]

Afghanistan: Government says Taliban may participate in the presidential elections if it agrees to peace talks

Jul 29, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Fools. The Taliban will never make peace in Afghanistan unless it has the upper hand. It will never stop fighting until Afghanistan is a Sharia state. It will use these peace talks to wring concessions from the government, the way the “Palestinians” use peace talks with Israel. No, this does not mean we should stay […]

US-funded Afghanistan gives $1,000,000 to Palestinians

Mar 7, 2019 9:30 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

From one jihad-supporting country to the next: a gift of a million dollars, courtesy of the infidels: Afghanistan, which claims it would collapse without assistance from its top international donor the United States….pledged $1 million to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) that provides assistance to Palestinian refugees while blasting President Donald Trump’s […]

Afghan President: Jihad attack at American University in Kabul orchestrated from Pakistan

Aug 27, 2016 10:53 am By Robert Spencer

Pakistan is a hotbed of jihad activity, which the Pakistani government allows to proliferate until it comes time to show the Americans that they’re fighting against terrorism. Then they take some token action, collect their money, and settle back until it is time to repeat the action. “Ghani: “University attack in Kabul was ‘orchestrated’ from […]

Pakistan facilitated massive Taliban offensive in Afghanistan

Feb 7, 2016 3:55 pm By Robert Spencer

As well as other jihad activity elsewhere. Even worse, they no doubt facilitated a great deal of this with money they received from the U.S. to fight terrorism, as they have done before. But they’re still our ally, illustrating the absurdity of U.S. foreign policy. “Pakistan’s Hand in the Rise of International Jihad,” by Carlotta […]

Afghan president admits he’s losing troops to Islamic State

Apr 14, 2015 11:05 am By Robert Spencer

US signals likely delay in troop pullout from Afghanistan

Feb 21, 2015 2:48 pm By Robert Spencer

And so this endless, pointless bloodletting, with no goal and impossible rules of engagement, draining untold trillions from the U.S. economy and costing countless lives, will continue. Apparently the Afghan military and police will need the U.S. troops for target practice beyond the original departure date. “US signals likely delay in troop pullout from Afghanistan,” […]
