Hero of Muslim World Music of The real and original national anthem of Afghanistan Long live the legacy of Afghanistan & its national Hero
Ahmad Shah Massoud
The Ultimate freedom fighter
The real and original national anthem of Afghanistan
This legendary warrior defied Afghanistan's Soviet invaders, only to be assassinated by al-Qaeda
By Peter Bergen
The two Arab TV journalists who had been hanging around for weeks to secure an interview with the storied Afghan military commander Ahmad Shah Massoud finally got their chance to speak with him on Sept. 9, 2001. They set up their gear and asked a question about Osama bin Laden. Then one of them detonated a bomb hidden in a camera, killing himself and mortally wounding Massoud. The journalists were, in fact, al-Qaeda assassins, and it was bin Laden who had ordered the hit just before the 9/11 attacks on the U.S.

Historians will record Massoud's assassination as the curtain raiser for the attacks on New York City and Washington D.C. that followed. The Afghan leader was the principal antagonist of the Taliban; by engineering his death bin Laden gave the Taliban something they desperately wanted, and ensured that the Taliban would protect al-Qaeda in Afghanistan after 9/11.

More than five years after his assassination Massoud remains a national hero to many Afghans. Passengers at Kabul airport are greeted by a mural of him standing several stories high. Massoud's place in history is assured by the fact that he was arguably the most brilliant practitioner of guerrilla warfare in the late 20th century. In the 1980s, during the war against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, he survived six major Soviet operations aimed at defeating him. Then, in 1992, he seized Kabul from the Afghan communist regime that had replaced the occupying Soviets. Afghanistan was subsequently plunged into civil war as competing factions vied for control of the capital. During the fighting I met Massoud at his headquarters north of Kabul and was struck by his intense integrity, charisma and disarming humor.

The struggles between bin Laden and Massoud are emblematic of the divisions in the Muslim world between militants who advocate violence against the West and those who favor peaceful coexistence. Massoud's Islam was a moderate kind of fundamentalism leavened by tolerance for others. The world will be a much safer place if Massoud's vision wins out.

  • Guys did Massoud bomb Kabul and other citys. Yes or no!!

  • @Judeschwein88

    No.

    He was in the city and those were outside the city. i.e Gubluddin rained down rockets and bombs on CITY. When the city was with Taliban or with Dr. Najib, Massoud didn't bomb the City.

  • @Judeschwein88

    And He never bombed any city!!

  • What is this Brother

    Why are we destroying our Afghanistan

    This is not our national anthem

  • Long live unity of Khurasan.

    The name of Afghanistan was given by the British - designed to weaken & bring hell to the people of Khurasan. Designed to divide them and weaken them through promoting the idea that the land is a Pashtun land & that its language should be Pashtu. This has destroyed the unity of the people and made them weak. Pakistan - that fake state has achieved more unity by using Farsi as its national anthem & no tribal words. Wake up!

    Death to the tribal idea of Afghanistan.

  • hey man this is a beotifull nationall anthem y did they changed it? whoever changed this beotifull anthem may allah destroy him and his familly long life the gerat khurasan and brave history makers the TAJIK,

  • @Ghurshah u right bro

  • This was our national anthem and its the best so beautiful...Mashallah ! May Allah SWT protect Afghanistan from corrupt people and foreign invaders ! Ameen !

  • This anthem is just as beautiful as other anthems!

  • @Ghurshah go kill yourself and this is coming from and farsi speaking qizilbash.

  • I personally won't disapprove of having this as our national anthem. Either this or the other one, they both share the same message of FREEDOM and UNITY. Ethnic rivalry should not separate us. The Afghan youth should not repeat the mistakes of our forefathers and the generation before us. We should not label one another according to our ethnic identity, we are AFGHANS.

    Ahmad Shah Masood truely was a hero of Afghanistan. Whether some may agree or disagree, it won't change what is true.
