| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) loyalists aiming to gain a foothold in Afghanistan have vowed to eliminate the Durand Line in a bid to unite and pave the way for the Moslems divided by the line. A front man for the terror group's self-proclaimed Khurasan province said the Islamic State eye to destroy the borders similar as they did between Iraq and Syria. The porous Durand Line has also been a source of tension between Afghanistan and Pakistain where numerous cross-border attacks have been carried out besides the bordering regions have long been and continues to be the main shelter of the terror groups. In the meantime, affiliates of the terror group have doubled efforts to encourage the dissident high level Taliban capos to join the ISIS group in a bid to further gain foothold in the country. The front man for the terror group said a delegation of prominent scholars have been sent by the group's Khurasan province chief to Uruzgan province to meet with the senior Taliban leader Mullah Mansoor Dadullah. This comes as the group claimed yesterday that Mullah Dadullah was rescued from an offensive by the Talibs involving 2,100 fighters in southern Zabul province. He said at least 230 ISIS fighters were deployed to Zabul from western Farah province to engage the Talibs and rescue Mullah Dadullah. He also claimed that Mullah Abdul Manan, the brother of the Taliban founder Mullah Mohammad Omar, prefers to join the ISIS group rather than pledging allegiance to the newly appointed Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansoor. |

| #3 Too bad their arch-enemies can't redraw borders and behead people who disagree with them. Although I suppose some might consider a nuclear attack on the Persian capital city as a "beheading" of sorts. |

| #2 The Durand Line was supposed to end in 199X after what the territories were supposed to return to Afghanistan. Pakistan inherited those territories from the British Empire but didn't respect the treaty signed by the British. Because Pakistan is a mosaic of people who have nothing in common but Islam in its corrupt elite has fueled religious extremism to the populace and specially between the Pashtoons. The sooner the NWFP provinces return to Afghanistan and Pakistan implodes the better. Of course, that is not ISIS' objective when they say they will eliminate the Durand Line. What its people want is global caliphate. |

| #1 Want to make the Durand Line work? Salt the border with radioactive Cesium which has a short half-life. FYI: It was suggested by MacArthur to halt the Chinese crossing into North Korea, but was rejected out of hand by Truman. Now the Muslims aren't so sensitive and they might buy it. |
