[AmericanThinker] That’s certainly one perspective, but not one that even the generality of the Pakistani judiciary has held, let alone the various schools of Muslim jurisprudence.

I read of American GIs in Afghanistan after 2001 being asked by locals if they were "people of the book", so this position is known at least to some Muslims somewhere.
Of historical interest, it is well documented that Francis of Assisi traveled to Egypt during one of the Crusades, got through the lines and confronted one of the major Muslim leaders with Francis's intent to convert him to Christianity. The odd thing about this encounter was that Francis came back alive and unharmed. Muslims probably took him for a dervish -- they basically dressed the same as Francis did.

So long as the infidels bow their heads when they pay the jizya.
[WIRE] A group of several former U.S. Navy SEALs who are now running for U.S. Congress slammed President Joe Biden during a Fox News interview this week over the administration’s disastrous pullout from Afghanistan back in August.
"If the Biden administration is so concerned about saving American lives with these mandates, these mask mandates and so on so forth, why don’t they mandate we rescue our citizens and save their lives as well over in Afghanistan?" asked Morgan Luttrell, who is running in Texas’ 8th Congressional District. "I was fortunate enough to run into an interpreter that served with us overseas for so long, in the past couple of weeks, and his family is still over there. And he pleaded with us, he begged us, he’s like, ’Who do I need to get to help me get my family over?’ He spoke perfect English. Where’s that at?"
"All Biden has to do is say, let’s do this," he continued. "Let’s mandate this; task Milley, task Austin, and go get our people."
You're defining "our people" as US citizens regardless of identity.
For Milley, Austin, Ferret, and the rest of Perv Magoo's identity-obsessed crew, "our people" is a political designation that excludes a majority of those Americans left in AFG. Normal Americans especially non-Woke whites don't matter.

It most definitely is not hands off. Hands off would not include flying planeloads of infected, untreated, unvaccinated illegals all over the country, there to dump them without any support so they revert to the least common denominator of behaviour.

Then, if we're wise, we take it as an opportunity to be down the retrenchment that should've happened 30 years ago.
We shut down dozens of overseas bases -- so $200 billion a year right there -- and save trillions by declining to fight wars that our military will not or cannot win.
And then we redeploy troops to guard the southern border and stop this Camp Des Saints invasion

Huh. I shopped at Dihillhirin, when I passed though Paris in 1985. It was actually very nice, affordable to me - although the prices weren't marked on the merch then, you had to have a salesman help. Still have some kitchen tools and a copper pudding mold that I bought. Still regret not looking into buying any copper pots and pans, but the trunk of my car was already pretty full.

We will do nothing vs the Chinese. No US president would defend Taiwan. As OrangeMan famously and sensibly said to the brass, "We're 8,000 miles away from Taiwan. China's like 100 miles away. If they invade there's not a f--king thing we will do about it."
No US president whose family is not receiving millions from Ukrainian thieves would defend Ukraine. So the Biden Crime Family capo might well order warships into the Black Sea to do something incredibly stupid.
But Putin will once again wrongfoot his stupid US counterpart with rope-a-dope, now you see us, now you don't, little green men etc. Just as he did a dozen times against Obama the idiot. So no war on Russia's flank either -- just de facto sovereignty for the Transdniester region, as there should be.
And America's Suez episode will reach its farcical end.

It ain't about Ukraine; all the "Ukranians" Biden's family were taking money from were clients of Yanukovitch like Zlovchevsky; Yanokovitch is currently living the high life in "exile" in Russia. Burisma's job was basically to keep anyone else in Ukraine from drilling for oil and thereby letting Ukraine be less blackmailable than at present.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
