SAIDU SHARIF, Pakistan – Mohammad Shoaib went to Afghanistan looking for holy war. He came limping home last week with a left arm shredded by shrapnel, one ear scorched and deaf, a brother among the missing, his wallet 8,000 rupees lighter, and a sad tale of abuse at the hands of Afghans.
"They were mean to us," he said of Afghans who treated him at a Taliban-controlled hospital in Kabul after he survived an American airstrike on a convoy of Pakistani fighters.
"They did not care about us, and they did not change our dressings properly. Even if we screamed in pain, they just told us to stay quiet," he said, glumly staring at a scabbed hand that now hangs useless in a sling made of rough twine. "I am thinking these people cannot be Afghans. They must be Northern Alliance, or some other sort of infidels."
The 30-year-old vegetable peddler's story is typical, many say, of the misadventures being recounted by the holy warriors, or jihadis, trickling back into northern Pakistan after weeks on the Taliban front lines.
And those who've returned to tell their stories are the lucky ones.
Hundreds of other families are waiting for loved ones who are feared dead, under siege or lost inside in a lawless country where Pakistanis are now widely despised and a rifle or a 1,000-rupee note – a sum worth less than $17 – is easily worth a life.
"I think these people are coming back duly chastised. A lot of them actually are very demoralized. They went through the harrowing experience of crossing over with a lot of high hopes and then being deserted by the Taliban," said Rifaat Hussain, a strategic studies specialist at Quaid-e-Azam University of Islamabad.
'Totally disillusioned'
"Some of them have come back still supporters of the Taliban and believers in jihad," he said. "But a large number are saying they're totally disillusioned."

Read the rest for a good laugh.

Assholes. Idiots glomming onto a losing cause- what else did they expect? Paradise? Invade somebody else's country, and expect to be well-treated - not likely.

My heart bleeds toilet water for them. >:^D

That d@mned "vegetable peddlar" showed up in Afghanistan to fight America, armed with a sharp stick and a bad attitude.

I guess it isn't "fair" that we just bombed his d@mn convoy, instead of engaging in an eye-pokeing contest.

You were lucky to get away, cannonfodder.

"Nothing was fair, nobody cared about us..."

You are the weakest link, goodbye.

The UN should offer him a "consolation prize" of a taxi-driving job in NYC.

Good article, read the responces too...


good pic's...

....just the perfect cover for him while he is helping his Islamic comrades to sabotage/bomb/nuke their next target in NYC...

Bwahahahahahaha is right!

I read that article in the Morning Snooze this morning, and had to laugh myself.

The best part is at the end, though:

'Mr. Khan insisted that he and other Pashtun in the Swat Valley remain Taliban partisans. But he concedes that he and other [i]jihadis[/i] won't soon return to fight.

[b]"If the Taliban get their positions back and have strong control, and if the Americans stop bombing, and if the Taliban call us back -- then we will go,"[/b] he said.'

In other words, If they're ever in a position of strength and don't need our help, we'll be on the next bus to Kunduz!

Bwahahahahahahaha!

They go in screaming "Holy War".

The few who live to come out cry [b]"HOLY SHIT"[/b].

LMMFAO

Semper Fi

My UN "consolation prize" remark was a jest at that guy's expense.

"Hi, driver. How did you hurt your arm?"

"Well, I think America is the Great Satan and I was fighting her in Afghanistan, cause I thought the WTC attack was justified..."

Meanwhile, the New Yorker in the back seat would be reaching for a shiv, or a sap, or  peppergas...

LMFAO! Unfortunately, as it's NY, Hitlery or Upchuck will label this racial profiling, call this a hate crime, and call for even more useless laws to try and put a stop to this sort of oppression of our precious fellow "human beings"...

Perhaps they should reflect on their cause and its relationship to Allah's will after this, hmmm?
