#1 Kid Nation / Lord of the Flies takes over Pakistan Tribal Areas?

#2 Atif: Actually, the youth do not listen to anyone, anymore. They have been brainwashed to the extent that even if father or brothers of these Taliban try to convince them, they reply by branding the father or brother as munafiq (Hypocrite). If pressed further, they even do not hesitate to kill the family member who confronts them. The whole social fabric has torn down.

From yesterday's article on our favorite Saudi madrassa in Fairfax VA:
The school teaches: That trusted friends can only be Muslim. That even family members, if they are non-believers, have nothing in common with you and should be abandoned or ignored. That people further away from you geographically and culturally are truly closer to you than the family you live with if your family does not believe. That one should never establish a close and trusted friendship with a non-Muslim. Ninth and twelfth grade curricula heavily emphasize the concept of Jihad, of holy war, and the obligation to fight and destroy the enemy and the non-Muslim. There are no grey areas in Saudi schools, it is all black and white and it is all reinforced in classroom assignments, papers and homework.

Who can claim this preparation for islamic warfare on American soil is tolerable or will end well? May all who are involved, Saudi and American, truly receive the rewards they deserve.

Atif: Yaraji, even a simpleton like me understands that it is the government itself, which is responsible... Tell me, if ISI is not helping them, then how come they have all the latest weapons except tanks and armored vehicles... Part of the money that is coming to combat terrorism is actually used to help them.

Head of ISI wiring $100,000 to the 911 terrorist Mohammed Atta was the best investment Pakistan ever made. $10 billion in US weapons and aid plus a cut of all the road bound logistics going into Afghanistan. A 1,000,000% profit and growing. But the pot has to be stirred for the money to flow.

#3 Corrected: A 10,000,000% profit.

#4 Me: So, the ISI is behind that?

Atif: Yes; most definitely they are. They even have suicide training camps in Waziristan where they train young boys from the age of twelve to sixteen. They brainwash them and make them believe that this is real Jihad, and when they will die in their cause, they will go straight to Jannat

Says it all!!!!Why are we allies with Perv?????

#5 It's a script, not a conversation. Khalid throws out the very well-scripted one-line questions and Atif fields each with a very articulate one-paragraph answer. It's like the recent FEMA "press conference" but without video.

#6 If Pakistan is spending its War on Terror profits to fund infighting at home, the money and the fighters are not going to Afghanistan or the West to cause problems... or at least only a remnant as opposed to all of them. Much like the Palestinians on their side of the Security Fence. A tragedy for the non-Taliban/Deobandi locals, but it's their society.
