Afghanistan crisis: Who are Isis-K? (Profile of one more Islamofascistic gang)
BBC ^ | Aug 26, 2021 | Frank Gardner

Posted on 08/26/2021 2:37:52 PM PDT by Humane1

Islamic State militants have been blamed for a series of deadly attacks in recent years - like this one on a wedding hall in Kabul in 2019

Isis-K - or to give it its more accurate name, Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) - is the regional affiliate of Isis (or so-called Islamic State) that is active in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

It is the most extreme and violent of all the jihadist militant groups in Afghanistan.

It was set up in January 2015 at the height of IS' power in Iraq and Syria, before its self-declared caliphate was defeated and dismantled by a US-led coalition.

It recruits from both Afghan and Pakistani jihadists, especially defecting members of the Afghan Taliban who don't see their own organisation as extreme enough..

It’s kind of like Covid... They need to make up new names to make it sound scarier.

Is Isis-K like a Taliban, the same as a Rhino is a Repulican? Horseshit that Tolly-Bahn is enemy of Isis-K.

Scary if Biden-nuts regime will start to see the Taliban as somehow positive just because jihadists#2 were behind this particular bombing...

I was thinking last night that I wonder if 0bama’s ISIS is really in Afghanistan, or if them being there is really just a false flag operation by JoeBama , the spy agencies and the media, to give the Taliban cover for their own atrocities, so that Joe can claim that their deal with him is still in effect.

Strictly third rate bench warmers. We have nothng to worry about with this group as they have always been the most trustworthy of any of the extreme and violent jihadist militant groups we have dealt with in Afghanistan.

Who are they? They are people who on June 23rd were cleaning weapons, working out, building ways to deliver suicide bombs, etc.

On June 23rd Milley was having a hissy fit on TV about trannies, Critical communist race theory, and supporting BLM. On that very day, the enemy was focusing on killing their enemy (us).

On June 23rd, some Marine grunts were disgusted to watch their top general on TV trashing America. Now they are dead.

DC, the coup government, and the Generals are the enemy of the American republic. We will have to save it from them. Nobody is going to do it for us.

Biden’s answers at his press conference are being done strangely.

1. Time of silence (listening to earphone)?

2. Speaking a few words.

3. Time of silence.

4. Speaking a few words.

5. Silence.

Rinse/repeat/rinse/repeat… OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

With these groups there is always one critical question that nobody wants to ask, much less answer.

Where does their funding come from?

They are the People who were released from the Prison at the Bagram Air Force Base after our Military deserted it in the middle of the night last Month.

I’m sure they got out and ran right over to the Armory to get ready to kill our Marines.

Just watching Bret Bair. What a suck up.
