Mullah Mohammad Omar 'expired medicine', says Rasool Sayyaf
2015-02-16
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Ex-Jehadi leader Abdul Rab Rasoul Sayaf has called Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar " expired medicine".
Ouch. That's worse than heaving a shoe at him.
Ah, but did he curse Omar's mustache?
Perhaps he could be moved to a lightly guarded retirement compound in Abbattabad.
Sayaf while talking to a gathering of Ex-Mujahedeen in Kabul said "Mullah Mohammad Omar's time is over. Mullah Omar
... a minor Pashtun commander in the war against the Soviets who made good as leader of the Taliban. As ruler of Afghanistan, he took the title Leader of the Faithful. The imposition of Pashtunkhwa on the nation institutionalized ignorance and brutality in a country already notable for its own fair share of ignorance and brutality...
is now expired medicine. Doctor has changed the prescription"

He did not put more light on his words.

The gathering was organized by Ex-Mujahedeen to celebrate the 26th anniversary of the withdrawal of the Soviet forces from Afghanistan.

Abdul Rab Rasoul Sayaf also talked about Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
, the hot topic these days.

He used IS's Arabic name DAESH and said "DAESH is not a miracle", adding that "We will stop DAESH."

Sayaf said that if DAESH arrives at the doors of Kabul, then doors for Mujahedeen will be knocked.

Abdul Rab Rasoul Sayaf in the celebratory gathering also criticized foreign police of the government.

He said that bringing changes to the foreign policy towards neighbors without consultation with nation is disloyal.

About the involvement of Mujahedeen in the politics, Sayaf said that excluding Mujahedeen from the politics is not fair. He added that pretty soon Mujahedeen will come under one roof and their stance will go from one address.

#2  Expiration dates on medicines may or may not be meaningful. As I recall, they are based on when the level of the active ingredient falls to 90% of the initial amount or three years, whichever comes first.

Nonetheless, what matters in an insult is emotional impact, not fiddlin' facts.

#1  The only difference between poison and medicine is dosage.
