| Two US Soldiers in Afghanistan Embrace Islam and Now Support the Taliban |
| 2004-04-13 |
| From Jihad Unspun In Afghanistan, Taliban attacks resulted in deaths of a total of seven American soldiers and many more Afghan soldiers as the fighting continues to escalate. Many others are reported wounded and a report has been received that two US soldiers have embraced Islam. .... in Khost, a soldier told Pakistan’s Daily Ausaf on the condition of anonymity that two US soldiers embraced Islam. They both have started to show their support for Taliban and other Islamic scholars and have started to learn more about Islam. Alhamdulilah! |

| #9 azzam.com used to say the same thing back during the Chechen war, about Russian soldiers converting. It's pure fantasy but it shows more about what the enemy is thinking. In the Chechen story, the Russian soldier converts were given suicide missions and performed them, thus earning a place among the honored dead. |

| #4 Based upon this story, the US government better make a contract with the University of California, Berkeley anthropology department and slap a study on the actions of these two soldiers and see why they went native. /smartassery |

| #3 In light of America's freedom of religion, they have every right to pursue study of Taleban doctrine. Similarly, our Military has an identical right to identify, apprehend and subject these same people to courts-martial for collaborating with the enemy. |
