Rasool Sayyaf slams Taliban for defaming Islam while inaugurating new political council
2015-12-19
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A prominent jihadi leader and former member of the Afghan parliament on Friday slammed Taliban and 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group for defaming Islam.

This is not the first Abdul Rab Rasool Sayyaf
...Afghan Salafist warlord, owned by Saudi Arabia. He was the guy who invited al-Qaeda to come into Afghanistan and make themselves at home...
has taken a hard stance against the holy warrior groups, specifically the Taliban group.

In his speech during the inauguration of 'Afghanistan Protection and Stability Council', Sayyaf raised a question regarding the motive behind Taliban's dispute, saying the group has defamed Islam and the religion.

He said the ongoing insurgency in Afghanistan is not due to conflict between Muslims and Kufars but the war is waged by paid criminal and murderers.

He welcomed the ongoing peace efforts however he said the main side involved in the dispute has not been ascertained so far, insisting that the dispute should be clarified whether it is Pakistain, Taliban or al-Qaeda terrorist network.

Sayyaf also called on the government to use the former Mujahid commanders in fight against the emergent ISIS terrorist group.

In regards to the formation of the new council -- Afghanistan Protection and Stability Council, Sayyaf said the main aim of the council is to unite the Afghan people for the survival of Afghanistan and dignity of the Afghan people.

Sayyaf further added that the council members are not in favor of the collapse of the current political system and they have shared their concerns regarding the deteriorating situation of the country with President Ghani.

However,
if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well...
he said the council's aim is to bring reforms in the system, insisting that the government should organize the constitutional Loya Jirga.

He said the Afghan nation will demand an alternative if the constitutional Loya Jirga is not organized, apparently pointing towards the formation of a transitional government or early elections.
