#1 the victim had no animosity against anyone, and it is still unknown who killed him and why

That's probably why.

Behold, a mohameddite
in whom there's no guile!
Such a UXO missile!
Why, we must punish 'im,
for cramping the style
of the greatest paedophile!

I shall share what I know of the IS-Khorasan's feud with the Taliban in the region, just as soon as I have a little time and privacy. It's basically calvinball, with one very dirty Pakistani finger up an even dirtier ass. Again.

#3 Did you see that former Afghan president Hamid Karzai is trying to cause trouble between Pakistan and the Talibs, Dron? See here.

#5 Karzai did a lot of good for Afghan women, TW. As much as moslemnity can allow, stretched to its limits. Schools, universities, proper healthcare, family inspectors, judges appointed to police domestic abuse, child marriage etc. India helped too. Thousands of Afghan teachers, lawyers, doctors and nurses were educated in our universities, even their top ANDF officers recieved training in our academies.

He must be pissed watching his legacy turned to shit because of all this. Pakistain cannot order the Taliban anything anymore. I reckon Karzai is trying to insult the Taliban into denouncing the wimmin oppressing doctrines they learnt under the jamaat teach, the one that they haven't outgrown yet.
He wants to challenge their sense of individuality or something, into giving the population some respite from inhuman religious rules created in Islamabad and rural India by total bumpkins.

The Taliban are goons. Thugs, wanting their own Emirate, funded, armed and recognised by the west as a State. They are trying all sorts of postures to achieve an optic which gets them there. And they figure breaking from both Brotherhood and Jamaat versions of Islam and establishing a third flavour. And so far it's a mish mash of stuff, really transparent thuggery disguised as some kind of 'well policed' society. Soon, they may present the west a facade of girls going to school, women working in some offices etc. To get the 'tranches' going 😉. Everyone is not as stupid as the Biden administration, you see. And they'll want more and more money to get an economy going. But so far they're not really doing a good PR job.

Because as the pakis know, the pashtun is essentially an underdeveloped idiot. His barbaric brain is not meant for much else beyond animal survival. Add to that Islam and you get a complete knuckle dragging sasquatch.

It is the modern world's fault for supplying islamic societies with the fruits of civilization. Democracy, constitution, industry, infrastructure, banking... they should never have been given anything. The most anyone can do for islamics, is give them an option to convert to any other religion before putting them out of their misery.

Karzai too should have stayed in India after his education, except he went back to rule in hell.

#6 He stole with both hands. Even if that's the norm in that part of the world, that doesn't make it right.

#7 They all did, Murcek. Ghani was no better. That's what I'm trying to say, this place, these societies... they don't see your high egalitarian ideals or the bill of rights or some righteous humanist cause in the establishment of democracy, parliaments, bureaucracies, judiciaries.

What they see is perfectly running, well oiled gravy trains. Systems of coercion and extortion where even the wily and cowardly can enjoy the power enjoyed by goons and tough guys.

And that's the only reason they ask you to come and help them build 'democracies'. And then you sit back and wonder why it's never working for them like it worked for you and billions of other honest people around the world.

It's not for them. Just like it's not for Africans.
