ISIS leader in Afghanistan says Taliban fights for Pakistani intelligence

[Kushan Prince]

If Ghani is smart--he will control ISIL in order to damage Afghanistan's enemy both Iran and Pakistan. Taliban visit to Iran shows how nervous Iranians are about ISIL threat from Afghanistan. For over 100+ years twice Afghan states were destroyed in the name of religion—today Kabul has chance to get hold of religion digger and bleed Afghanistan’s enemy---it’s now or never.

Ghani is relying on a dysfunctional pakistan state and obama for help and carrying.

And your relying on a broken man.

Isis are fanatic zealots. If Ghani thinks he can use them to further his own cause, he is gambling with lives of human beings.

A growing Isis will only prolong instability in the region.

ISIS is specific to Wahabis/Salafis while pashtuns are only Deobandi's(any pashtun who isn't a deobandi is not a pashtun).

So ISIS can't survive in Afghanistan.

Darul Uloom Deoband is about 170 years old. You are saying Pashtun identity is only 170?

Insurgency is Insurgency no matter what people claim. Goals and tactics dont change. The fact is there is no central command of the insurgency and commanders mostly do what they want. If Wali Karzai had pledged allegiance to the mexican mafia, it would not have changed his business dealings, tactics and goals. He would have been the same ****ty drug dealer he was all the time.

The main point is that since the American public is sick and tired of fighting the Taliban endlessly with no results and most scholars have proved that it is an indigenous resistance movement, the war mongers need another bogeyman to convince the American public to hand out more money to fight useless wars for profit. The American media is constantly spitting out ISIS evil bent on destroying the world and the Ghani persiofascist gov is hoping that this new bogeyman might convince the American public to keep troops in Afghanistan.

If the American public is refusing mass troop deployment in ISIS headquarters(Iraq and Syria), then why would they support troop increase in a country with no real proof that ISIS exist in this particular country: Afghanistan.
