#1 What fails to register on these fools is that it is muslims killing muslims...all across the globe. They talk of jihad. Against whom? Iraq, Gaza, Pak-land, Afghanistan....muslims killing muslims in the name of almigthy allan.

#2 Mustafa preaches to about 8,000 Muslims every Friday. His mosques exterior is decorated with posters of Abdul Rasul Sayyaf, an extremist MP and ex-warlord whose forces devastated Kabul in the 1990s civil war.

The mind boggles at islamic stupidity.

#3 Article: At another mosque, built with money donated by a Kuwaiti businessman, Mustafa said the "time is ready for jihad." He accused foreign troops of insulting Afghan culture when they raided homes looking for militants.

You gotta love it - a Kuwaiti businessman donates a *mosque*. If there's one thing Afghanistan has enough of, it's mosques.

#4 Note that most of these guys are likely tied in with Abdul Rasul Sayyaf (a Saudi creation if there ever was one) at some level. Whether this represents any serious intrigue on his part or not remains to be seen.

#5 This may not amount to a hill of beans as you can't trust jurnos to get the truth to you esp a Pakistani one. I would be more interested in what the boots on the ground say. Sounds like propaganda to weaken European/NATO resolve more than "reality"

From the Arabian view point this is an investment: a mosque is an officine who incites people to spend their hard earned money in Arabia or to do war to extend Isalm so there more people spending their hard earned money in Arabia.

Through the hadj, piss poor countries like Bangladesh have been bleeding money to Saudi Arabia. Also when after the fall of the Taliban Afganistan was donated 500 million dollars by the developed countries the pilgroims spent 45 millions (30,000 pilgrims * 1500$ unitary cost) in the Hadj ie nearly 10% of the aid.

#8 Yeah, the hadj is quite a racket for the Princes of the Desert, isn't it.

#9 Yet it's our fault that their elected officials are corrupt. The only constants in the ME are corruption, and Islam. You do the math.

#11 "Abdullahs long beard reached the top of his shalwar kameez..."

Didn't that make his shalwar kameez itch?

"Insurgents"? "Bombers?" How about plain old terrorists? Oh yeah, I forget, we aren't allowed to use word that describe violence in Afghanistan.

#12 and if Sharia is imposed, assholes like Abdullah will have power once again to issue fatwas, order beheadings, other tithings of Islam. Kill him. Publicly
