Taliban_offensive_in_full_effect_in_Afghanistan

Kabul, May 23: Taliban took the responsibility of a night-time assault on NATO's biggest base in southern Afghanistan, on

Saturday, May 22 night. The attackers fired rockets, mortars and automatic weapons and tried to blast Khandahar Air Field.


There were no reports of deaths, though several coalition troops and civilian employees were wounded. It is the third such attack on NATO forces in Afghanistan in six days.

A Canadian Press news agency report from Kandahar said artillery and machine gun fire reverberated through the base, about 500 kilometres southwest of Kabul, several hours after the attack began. Militants unleashed rockets and mortars about 15:30

GMT and then tried unsuccessfully to storm the northern perimeter, reported the officials.

The attacks on NATO follow a Taliban announcement of a spring offensive against NATO forces and Afghan government for their response to a promise by the Obama administration to crush Taliban out of their strongholds in the southern province of Khandahar.

@almostpolish Good to see you come in discussion. As I guess you can understand. What do you mean by someone? Someone means USA who formed all these Jihadi Groups to fight against USSR and after the defeat of USSR; these were left careless. Or any one else. No my friend its all mighty Allah who gives us courage to fight and sacrifice. No one else. If you wana know the reality than type Armageddon in google and study in detail espacially from muslim's point of view.

@Motla82 I'm Christian and I have muslim friends, even muslim girlfriend.

Your nation isn't good educated, there is problem. You fight becouse someone say that is right. You are same like NATO soldiers, fight fight kill Your brother. We are all people but Your mind cant urdestand that.

@1cme1 Unfortunately!

I guess, agnostic means non believer?

If you are a non believer than you will never ever understand my point of view till you study the Quran. Virgins or lavishness is not our objective my friend. Thanks to almighty Allah that we still get virgins(as we do not make sexual relations with other women except our wives and boy and girl both remain virgin till their marriage). The purpose of our life and believes is not different.

[1cme1]

@Motla82 im not a christian, im an agnostic. be any christian propaganda as it may, we dont teach our kids about suicide and murder being acts that god favors.

[Motla82]

@1cme1 Quran is very easy to understand and no one can teach or brain wash any mind. I can prove to you that you Christian people are Brain Washed by Satan and Self inside you. What you call as civilized is called uncivilized and wild even in Bible. Your societies are living like animals and we do not interfere in that but you interfere in our civilized and peaceful societies by tying to impose your wild theories on us. So we fight but only with killers not with common people of that country.

[1cme1]

@Motla82 then why do you teach children false information about the Quran at taliban schools, telling them about how martyrs recieve x number of virgins in heaven, and try to demonize foreigners as infidels?

our hope is that this nonsensical propaganda and uncivilized behavior can be stopped after we start our peace talks. we dont want to change your religion. there is no nationalized religion in america, people here have a wide range of religious views and all of them are accepted.

[Motla82]

@1cme1 Leme tell you something very clearly. We are not against any nationality or specific country or humanity. We are not fighting for any person, organization, people's elected Govt, any country or for personal benefits. The sole purpose of our sacrifices is to make the almighty Allah be agreed with us. We want his orders to be followed and even only by those who once accepted his orders by their own choice(The Muslims). We want Isalmic Sharia rules in our countries by peaceful way but......
