Did anyone in Washington ever really think that the Taliban would honor a peace agreement it made with Infidels? If so, that person should be made to write an extensive study of the Treaty of Hudaybiyya. Or be fired. Or both.

A true slave of Allah was once shown a moral compass. He killed it’s owner and broke it beyond repair.

Revenge killing is part of Islam. We may never know why an individual Muslim kills.

Because
1) we are judging Islam by Western standards, assuming moslems think they we westerners do. Although you would think that we would have learned by now that moslems think differently that people from the West do. Have a different worldview.
2) the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated our government so as to influence foreign policy as regards Islam/moslems
3) We, (the goverment that is) Can not grasp the idea that a “religion” is violent, and contains all the intolerance towards non believers that Islam does. No other religion does this…..
We have had dealings with members of other large, world religions ( not cults) like Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Zen, and non of these religions have the intolerance and violence of Islam . So we continue to judge Islam by what we know of these other religions.
Again, you would think we would have learned , especially after we see moslems publicly stating very clearly what their ideology commands them to do, their willingness to obey those commands , and then see the bloody results of moslems who have obeyed those commands…..The list of Islamic terrorist attacks is too long to list …and it will continue until Islam succeeds in taking over or we change the way we deal wirh Islam.
The definition of insanity is to repeat the same action over and over and expect a different result…. and that’s what we are doing in our dealings with Islam .
4) I’m thinking very few of the “policy makers” the people who have power to influence or make deals like this, have read The Koran, Hadiths or Sira.
I’m thinking all they know of Islam is either the sugar coated, warm and fuzzy feeling version of Islam promoted by US Moslems and the Liberal Leftists or reports that have elements of the truth or hints of what Islam really is ( but these are skimmed and largely ignored)
If you say them down and forced them to hear what these Islamic texts had to say, and really got them to understand this was the real Islam, it would turn their hair white with shock! And forever change foreign policy with Islam .
And lastly, 5) money. If someone on thr US , some wealthy politician or businessman things there is money to be made innthe Middle East, or by having a treaty with moslems ( as happened on Obama’s deal with Iran) then that will influence foreign policy .
There are some excellent articles about this at Citizen Warrior website.

Very few, and only if Muslims feel they are in a position of weakness.
