...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us...
attacked Taliban leader 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...
, describing him as "demented" and "an ignorant prince of war."
An Afghan website quoted Baghdadi, in a statement shared by websites belonging to the ISIS organization, as saying, "Mullah Omar does not deserve any spiritual or political credibility," noting that, "The organization has achieved in two years what Taliban could not achieve in its campaign in ten years."
| Once upon a time the Taliban ruled about 2/3rds of Afghanistan, hosted the most successful jihadi organization of the time, and defied the government of the United States of America. Ten years from now, no doubt, similar things will be said of what you briefly accomplished, Your Caliphness. |
The statements come amid growing concern about the impact of the ISIS organization in Afghanistan and Pakistain after the emergence of a videotape during last week in which leaders claimed that they are from Afghanistan and Pakistain and pledged support for ISIS. |
