Rising tensions among prominent Afghan political leaders amid deteriorating security
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The tensions are on the rise among the two prominent politicians amid deteriorating security situation in the country.The tensions among  Gulbuddin Hekmatyar... who used to be known in intelligence circles as The Most Evil Man in the Worldbut who now seems merely run-of-the-mill evil... , the emir of Hezb-e-Islami, and Ata Mohammad Noor, the chief executive of Jamaat-e-Islami ... The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independentbranch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... intensified during the recent days and particularly after the arrest of Balkh provincial council member Asif Momand. However, denial ain't just a river in Egypt... Noor in his latest statement slammed Hekmatyar for his discriminatory remarks regarding the northern Panjshir province and Ahmad Shah Massoud. Noor further added that Jamaat-e-Islami warmly welcomed the conclusion of a peace deal between the government and Hezb-e-Islami with expectations that the rate violence, suicide kabooms, and war would reduce. The governor of northern Balkh province accused Hekmatyar of sparking tensions and divisions among the people based on geographical locations, skin color, and the languages they speak. He said the leader of Hezb-e-Islami is strictly following a mission hatched by the foreigners to spark tensions among the people. The Hezb-e-Islami party has not commented regarding the latest of Noor so far. In the meantime, Noor warned that the people of Panjshir and Jamaat-e-Islami will not remain silent regarding the provocative remarks and any silence in this regard and desecration of the province and national hero Ahmad Shah Massoud will be considered as a major sin.
