Umar ibn al-khattab's advice to saad

[شمله ور خراساني]

With all due respect to everyone involved, the best way to win a battle or a war is to be prepared for it beforehand.

"A wise man in times of peace, prepares for war." - Horace.

How do you prepare for war? You get an air-force, tanks and you muster the most inhumane and destructive weaponry you can get your hands on. If you can't do that, faith will confer no advantage on you. Sufi Mohammad of TSNM led tens of thousands of young men into the Taliban 'emirate' during the 2001 American invasion. They had more faith than all of us combined and multiplied by a hundred. They were overrun within days.

Right now, the insurgency is doing the right thing, militarily speaking. Hit and run and then blend in with the population. Attack near populated areas so as to avoid retaliation from the sky. Plant IEDs all over the place. Faith and sinfulness have nothing to do with any of these military tactics.

You are repeating the lies spread in the media. According to American Military reports and counter-insurgency experts, the nonsense you are saying is totally false.

Taliban are not the ones hiding in population centric areas. Its the invaders and infidels who do that.

The infidels have specifically chosen this strategy to hide in towns and cities.

It is widely reported in various military blogs and thinkthank websites.

Well said Sangar, Americans do it on purpose cause they know the Taliban will not kill there own people in such populated areas.

actually, there are some incidents where careless attacks by taliban have resulted to death of civilians.
