Zalmai Khalilzad's son is called Alexander Benard

[MazloomyarMaseed]

It is not about a name. It is about former Afghans and muslims who are siding with the kuffaar and even becoming like them, in their war against Islam and muslims.

Maiwand, i wonder which arab has made your brains mish mash, but if you didnt know, your so called Muslims were in the same bed with America and the so called Kuffar not so long ago, just because the kufer found you to be as useless as a broken walking stick.

It Saddens me how you avoid the crimes committed onto innocent muslims by your Taliban heros.

I guess most Muslims are truely hipocrites. What is a former Afghan? What about those Afghans hiding in Pakistan declare shariat in Afghanistan with ISI?

^wasnt it Iskandar?

Isn't Kandahar named after Alexander?

Kandahar refers to Ghandahara. An ancient name of the region.

Yes of course, if many people do a bad thing, it doesn't make it right.

Allah (swt) says: 'O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Awliya' (friends, protectors, helpers) they are but awliya' of each other. And if any amongst you takes them (as awliya') then surely, he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zaalimoun (i.e. Kuffar).' [EMQ 5:51]

do you think recieving the aid from them is ok but being a friend of them is a sin? you can interpret quran and hadis anyway you want. even the taliabn justified of killing of innocent women and children by providing the ayah from the quran.

Surat Al-Ma’dah: [O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allah as witnesses to fair dealings and let not the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just, that is next to piety. Fear Allah, indeed Allah is well-acquainted with all that you do.] (Al-Ma’dah 5 :8)

You should read the tafsir of the ayat he posted. The tafir explains what the context of the ayat is. It basically says that you are not allowed to take non-Muslims as allies against other muslims.

It does not mean you cannot take non-Muslims as friends. The translation of the word awilya is misinterpreted due to the fact that the arabic word wali has different meanings in different contexts in the qur'an.

you have got my point, we are talking about the same but in diffirent ways, is not the tafsir is the interpretation of the quran according to ones culture, langauge and needs?

i have always admired the name Alexander..

[tor_khan]

Alexander = Iksandar

Isn't Alexander = Sikandar?

[graveyardofempires]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahhaa
alexander bernard
his wife must have cheated

[Catya Sher]

^ You mean Cheryl?
Is it true by the way that she's JEWISH??
Or is this unsubstantiated rumor --
If so that says a lot about the odious traitor to his people
Khalilzad.
The name means "friend of [the prince/or son?]--
It is indisputable that this creep is not a friend of
anyone except The Worst Elements everywhere.

You guys, it's Cheryl Benard not Bernard.
That is probably a very different derivative.

Let me find the article I found on Khalilzad if I can manage.
Meanwhile I'm glad this thread got resurrected
so I can see the videos.

It's good to know the truth.

[Catya Sher]

Never mind: I tried to watch but this guy is too much of an abject idiot
to waste my important time waiting while he serves up exactly the neo-con
line, must be like his father.
He looks slippery as an eel and has a cruelty lurking behind his syes.
Ick, too repellent to ruin my eyes watching!
Notice that this is the only offering to Americans: 2 "analyss" who
say not that diffferent things.
Their perspective is similar but they diverge on tactics.

Where is a REAL Iranian to speak out and say: "The election was NOT rigged;
this charge has been repeated so many times with no foundation whatsoever
that the American public is totally convinced.
There was the most obvious manipulation by the media to induce the US and the world to regard it so.
No one even said "Show evidence, please"
This is how truly brainwashed most all Americans are today.
So of course, slick operators like "Alexander Benard" - clearly named
after Alexander the Great due to the Afghan association with his expeditions
and the many tales told about him in Islamic writings -
can pull the wool over the eyes of nearly all viewers.

Myself I wouldn't trust this guy even a single millimeter!
I felt the same about Cheryl Benard's Rand report. I couldn't even bring
myself to LOOK at page 1 !

Tuth is nowhere to be found in academia or officialdom today in the Western world.

Khalilzad is a criminal. He worked in Iraq with Sunni terrorists to kill Shias. He even financed their actions. He is a maybe a Jat Afghan. Read the following

[...]But despite Zalmay Khalilzad’s defective knowledge and understanding of the cultural and social complexities of Afghanistan and Iraq the media (and politicians in Washington) continue to market his '“Afghan birth”, that he “is well versed in negotiating tribal and ethnic divisions”', and that he speaks Afghanistan’s “two main languages—Pashto and Dari” (Andrew North, BBC News, February 2006). Khalilzad’s published writings dealing with Afghanistan and South Asia are framed by explicit American Cold War ideology and are mostly based on anecdotal data and information. 'His published work is uninformed by the cultural, ethnographic, and historical realities of the country he claims as the place of his birth'.


Zalmay Khalilzad is on record for gleefully acknowledging the destruction of the state of Afghanistan as a “worthwhile” price for American “strategic” interests: “The gains we made as a result of the struggle in Afghanistan, even with the problems we have had since, I think from the American strategic point of view, it was very much a worthwhile investment” (“CNN Presents: ‘Cold War’” TV broadcast, March 7, 1999).


Khalilzad has cleverly manipulated his ethnic and national background by portraying himself to his employer as a member of the numerically dominant Paxtun group in Afghanistan. In practice he has no meaningful competence in the language and culture of Paxtuns or, for that matter, any other ethnic group in that country. He speaks rudimentary Farsi but it is not known whether he can read and write it. There is no public record of Khalilzad ever speaking in coherent Paxtu, language of the Paxtuns. Anyone with adequate personal and/or scholarly ethnographic familiarity with Afghanistan would know that no Paxtun would have a (self-selected or assigned by one’s family) name that ends with the suffix “zad”. “Zad” is a Persian word that means nativity or descent and it is used as a suffix in last names among non-Paxtun Kabuli Afghans. Its Paxtu equivalent is “zai” (e. g. achakzai, ahmadzai, ‘abd al-rahimzai, noorzai, etc.). Some knowledgeable Afghans have suggested that Mr. Khalizad’s parents were members of the peripatetic jat or qawal ethnic groups.[...]-

if i didn't know any better, judging by your posts, id say u are alex benard.

[ScimitarXEdge]

Alexander = Iksandar

So now you're not Pashtun anymore based on how you name your children?

I think it's more what naming someone an angrez name represents, which devalues Pashtunhood.
