“We strongly reject this allegation. The nineteen-year Jihad of the Islamic Emirate is not indebted to the beneficence of any intelligence organ or foreign country and neither is the Islamic Emirate in need of anyone in specifying objectives.” Here again we see jihadis referring to their activities in strictly Islamic terms, while Islam is the […]
Ramadan: more bloodshed expected this month because “jihad is the best form of worship”
Ramadan has just begun and while most Islamic adherents simply pray a significant count of others gear up for martyrdom and rewards in paradise: “terrorist groups such as the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) and the Taliban in recent days made their annual call to arms as Ramadan approaches, claiming Allah exceptionally rewards martyrdom during the holy […]

Taliban crow over “the defeat of the infidel Western military alliance”
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said: “Isaf rolled up its flag in an atmosphere of failure and disappointment without having achieved anything substantial or tangible.” That is certainly true.
