New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan's Zabīh Allah Mujāhid: "Remarks Concerning the Visit By the US Secretary of Defense"
Yesterday the defense secretary of the invading country US made an unannounced visit to Kabul where he exaggerated to his troops, granted new powers to commander Nicholson and talked about keeping 400 extra precautionary troops in region close to our homeland.
Such repetitive and futile statements can never heal the wounds of America because many of her generals have exhausted themselves here, many troops have been killed, maimed and developed mental illnesses, and she has used vast powers and made many boastful speeches.
American leaders should accept the realities instead of giving empty talk, end the occupation and save yourselves from international shame through use of reason and logic.
Our struggle against the invaders shall continue until the complete independence of our country and establishment of pathway for an Islamic system. No threat can ever stop our struggle in this path.
American leaders including the defense secretary should have learnt much from their predecessors. Many plans have been aborted here and many generals and armies handed defeat and disappointment.
Keeping a few hundreds troops in a far region and giving greater powers to your commander to kill and terrorize would have only worked if we had already not witnessed your savagery of 2001, Guantanamo, Bagram, night raids and wholesale destruction of villages and cities through your bombardments.
Spokesman of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan

Check out my new ‘Policy Watch’ with Jacob Olidort for the Washington Institute: "The Islamic State's Views on Homosexuality"
The tragic events at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando shed light on a lesser-known facet of the Islamic State (IS): the group’s virulently hostile views toward homosexuality, in particular its targeting of gay men. Thus far, no evidence has surfaced suggesting that IS directed the perpetrator, Omar Mateen, to conduct the operation, and jihadis usually have multiple motivations for taking action, including in this case possible mental health issues. Yet IS has published a vast corpus of justifications for killing homosexuals, and it has publicly targeted numerous allegedly gay men in Iraq and Syria in the past year-and-a-half alone.
To be sure, gay men were being targeted by the Iraqi and Syrian regimes prior to the announcement of the so-called IS “Caliphate,” and the region’s legal and religious climate is often inhospitable to that community. Moreover, other jihadi groups have executed homosexuals, including the Taliban, al-Qaeda, and its branches Jabhat al-Nusra and al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). What stands out with IS, though, is the level of textual justification it has produced for such executions and the theatrical manner in which it conducts them, potentially inciting greater anti-LGBT violence.
