50 Taliban Rebels Killed in Afghanistan

U.S.-led coalition forces killed about 50 suspected Taliban militants in an airstrike on a rebel stronghold in southern Afghanistan, a spokesman for the force said Monday. Residents claimed dozens of civilians were killed.

I'm not sure if all of those killed were so-called Taliban rebels or innocent civilians. Since the village was bombed during the night, it would've been difficult for American forces to distinguish between innocent civilians and Taliban rebels. Such indiscriminate attacks will have a negative effect and it plays into the hands of Taliban. These bombings will make more enemies than friends for American and their coalition allies.

    I think Americans should change their strategy. Bombing can do nothing in the bids to maintain peace in the unrest south. They should impose pressure on Pakistani Government to desist from its support for Taliban resurgents. Bombinb blindly will just create anti-American sentiment and will bost pro Talibanism in the south, the first cradle for the Pakistani favourite regime, Taliban. If it happens for Americans to bomb the Pakitani agents, they should be careful for the lives of innocent Southren poeple. Why should they lose thier lives innocently? Why should they pay the price for Pakistani baked Taliban insurgents? Amerians should have it in mind that at any arial attack if one Afghan innocent civilian is killed, it causes an spate of anti-Amrican sentiment to erupt. They fight the terror not the innocent civilians. They should not offer and apology when they target any civilian posing it as misunderstanding. How Many misunderstands? bombing the wedding party in Kandahar, shoulting a driver because of his efforts to past the ISAF convey and many other countless records. Afghans are brave. They would rather having independence and latitude than being calm, but under threat. They would rather stand years fighting any oppressing force than having peace under threat.

    Morality – is a set of customs to society that regulate relationship and prescribe modes of behavior to enhance group survival. A rule of moral conduct. This is the essence that separated herd of fauna into human.
    .
    Human society started a nomadic lives and later evolved into tribes of hunter-gatherers where instinct of morality needed to govern a crude civilization. Physical strength dominated the struggled for dominancy and the needs of mechanism to perpetuate leadership was the main concerned of the dominant male.
    .
    On one thunder storm season, lightning struck that started fire intrigued dominant male of power that can not be explained on thus period. Based of lightning incident, herd instinct has conceived a projected power to provide basis in the implementation of morality. Should laws of morality be observe and followed, a giver was required in order to be authenticated for universal adherence
    and acceptance. God was created by mankind through their image on thus stages based on myth, dreams and visions as Projected Giver of Morality Laws. Rules in formed of cult-dogma were designed fitted with anathema and rigorous physical implementation of the dominant leaders. Those were the survival of the fittest … and only individuals adhered to the rules of God were fitted to live and to join the new human society.
    .
    Rules… evolved into beliefs those were the basis of traditional faith that provide sustainable potent authority for the God-given Morality Laws.
    .
    Beliefs that were reasonable and rational on thus particular period based on knowledge they possessed, whether or not true or probable does not matter, for it was written. Some quarters attempted to joined and designed dogmas but separated by their individual interests. Dogmatic competitions started to provoke on new human society and superstition was born to give way on blurred and rejected dogmas.
    .
    Competition for foods on hunter-gathers era evolved into dogmatic struggled and dominations. Kingdoms were established through exploitation of dominance, using gods and goddesses to provide projected powers. Those were the scuffled of god and goddesses to dominate humanity… until the time of Abraham where mankind attempted to unified god. Latter generations tried to incorporate all cult-dogmas and bind mankind into religion, but same anathema was attached to it.

    Breaking News !!!.

    A prominent Muslim in Italy was baptized by the Pope. I hate most of the Muslim members of their fanatical ignorance to religion and arrogance, however if you belong to certain religious sect … why transfer to another sect ?
    .
    Are you sure that said sect is right? To be sure both are just propagating ambiguous traditional dogmas and exploit members for the sect survival and sustaining propagator’s wealthy life style. Example … if the pope is not a pope today … will he enjoy luxurious life style what he’s enjoying now ? It’s all harammmmm !!! … wadja !!

    The talibans are just a bunch of dumbfounded and ill mannered people. if they but read the quran more closely and look into the meaning rather than just grasping and assuming what the words mean, then afghanistan would be a different country today and the whole world would be at peace.
    Just to clarify who the taliban people are…they are just a corrupted organization who seek nothing else but to do whatever they want for their own enjoyment and they wont stop until they get what they want.
    These people arent called muslims… theyre just a bunch of dumb islamic converts who mistake the meaning of the quran and take it for the meaning they wish to project…clearly these people are sick in the head and have had enough of their own lives that they cause so much terror in the world.

    Taliban…verily you are the ones that are mistaken and if you dont recieve your punishment in this world, the hereafter will be punishing enough for you and you will recieve every hurt and terror you caused to each and every individual on earth.

    The Taleban are rigorist who take advantage to hide themselves on religion and inject anathema to move people and exploit the primitiveness of knowledge for the satisfaction of their designed greed.
    .
    This strategy is a reckoning of the 12th century when Muslim was divided into Orthodox Sunnites, who were the followers of Prophet Mohammad and the Unorthodox Shiites who only accepted the earthly rule of the Prophet descendants.
    .
    Some Shiites further branched to Ismailites where Hassan Ben Sabban after so many oddities traveling around promoting Ismailism reach Daylam, part of Persia southern highland adjacent to the Caspian Sea. Atop the two thousand meters rock in Elburr Mountain, he found the castle of Alamut, which were the refuges of the independent Shiites.
    .
    Here he installed himself the Chief or the Sheik, choosing Sheik Al Jebal, literally translated as the old man of the mountains (similar to present day Osama) that instilled respect amongst his men and terrorized his opponents. After him came the three Dai-Al Kirbal or the summoner and then the Dai’s as missionaries who went out to conduct recruitment, the Fidas or the devoted ones were the predecessor of Fadayeen and later the Al Queda terrorists on Middle East during the closing of 20th and beginning of 21st century. Below them were the Lasiks or the masses that were used for menial works (and now sources of suicide bomber recruits) but knew nothing of the upper echelons.
    .
    It was undoubtedly a genius organization as shown in the manner on how Hassan took over the castle and from this vantage location, he sent out his missionaries to surrounding villages to convert inhabitants into Ismailism while housing his recruits around the castle. Exotic chambers and gardens were created at Alamut where neophytes were catered and thought about paradise. Dancing girls and musical instruments entertained the new comers and hashish were served to provide great satisfaction.
    .
    Novitiates have ultimate sensual pleasure, which now controlled their wellbeing and then brought to the sheik with assurance of eternal pleasure in paradise and would repay implicit and blind obedience. The drugged youths underwent brainstorming sessions after sessions and with great emphasized of the word … KILL! … KILL! … KILL! After their minds were under controlled, graduated with a golden dagger. So the hashish or hashasin eaters gave their name as Assassins, which later our dictionaries adapted the word.
    .
    Hassan exploited the blind obedience of those assassins to the out most satisfaction of his greed. On his reign, whoever ran against his teaching of Ismailism was assassinated. And now on our modern times, bombs instead of golden daggers are use but the same paradise and religious anathema and motivations are being employed in obtaining blind obedience to the “Unlucky Recruits”.
    .
    Now, to rationalize the true motive of the above, can they qualify to be called Muslim? Muslim is a teaching of Islam and Islam is peace. This is the true motive of Prophet Mohammad (Peace be upon Him) when preaching righteousness amongst the nomadic tribes. Or are we dealing with “Designed Greed”.
    .
    It appears now that some quarters inclined on the Fundamentalism of Ismailite and hence Ismailism had departed from the principle of Shiite dogma where Shiite had also deviated from the original Sunni that was the Orthodox Muslim where Islam is the sole teaching. The general feeling therefore, that true sense of Fundamentalist does not belong anymore to Islam but just keep on using Muslim as their cover and protection to pursue their designed greed. They have to use genius and all drastic means to endeavor their “WILL” to the world inhabitants as had Hassan Ben Sabban, the self-proclaimed sheik has done to took-over the Castle of Alamut for the foundation of Ismailite Doctrine with the used of his Assassins

    The World is filled with people brainwashed by the western medias

    There is GOOD NEWS to the free people of Afghanistan!
    The Danish Public Radio stated yesterday, febr. 20:
    “Jet-fighters and special trained soldiers HAVE TO STAY HOME. – the money for the NATO defence group has dryed up – and neither is there any money for buying new combat aricrafts, for years to come.”

    For those people/fighers in Afghanistan, still alive, struggling with NATO (who’s seems to have the license to kill) this is a very good message.

    The sad prospect for the same chased people is, that The Danish islamofobics/war-crazy society works intensely to get their, (not yet convicted for warcrime – being responsibel for Denmarks illegal invasion into Irak), Anders F. Rasmussen, the Danish prime minister, elected to the post as the NATO Secretary General.

  13. The USA is still damn and blind to realize the truth about the “Afghan trap” in Afghanistan. The pantagon is still unable to find a solution in Afghanistan. As a matter of fact, no nation in the globe has ever found a solution in Afghanistan. And what is a solution in Afghanistan?. First of all, and it is very important to know and understand; Afghans i.e Pashtuns can not be defeated at all, whether it is militarily or using bribing with dollars, pounds, rubles or any other foreign currencies by the enemies of Afghanistan i.e the enemies of Pashun people of both side of the illigal Durand line drawn by the coward British empire who, in the end, became a puppet of the US or a better name should be used – “US poodle”. So the way out for the US military in Afghanistan is simply this: “Pack up your camps and go home before it’s too late!”. But the US, just like Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Canada, Australia and the rest of the poodles who are hungry for dollars, are simply ignorant of the fact that Afghanistan can not be conquered in any way and never. Why? Because the Almighty Allah is with Afghans. For a believer to believe is also to be patient even though there is harm and trials that a believer is faced with on a daily basis. Anyway, Inshallah, Pashtuns will thought these crusaders who warship nothing but lies and dollars as well as drink beer and fast-food that won’t do any good to them. Let us starve, die, get raped, murdered and bombed as well as other evil actions that we face in Afghanistan and Muslims all over the world. Allahu Akbar
