Afghan warlord calls for 'jihad' against US

Warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, who is wanted by Washington for terrorism, has distributed a video recording in southern Afghanistan, urging Afghans to wage jihad against America.

In the 22-minute speech on a recording filled with graphic images of carnage and violence against Muslims in Indonesia, Palestine, Iraq and elsewhere, Hekmatyar makes a passionate call for holy war.

"War in Afghanistan and Iraq is the second crusade war but the only difference is in the first crusade Italy was leading the war and this time it is America," Hekmatyar says on the CD.

The video produced by the Abdullah Islamic and Jihadi Films Centre, starts with the slogan, "Our jihad will continue till the destruction of America, Britain and Israel and till the liberation of Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan."

Hekmatyar, who heads the fundamentalist Hezb-i-Islami guerrilla faction, has been declared a wanted terrorist by the US for his attempts to destabilise Karzai's US-backed government.

"We have lots of young fighters, who are ready to sacrifice their lives and wealth to save the religion," he said.

The 8,000-strong ISAF multinational force is in Kabul and some northern provinces helping with security, while more than 17,000 US-led soldiers are hunting militants in the south and southeast.

Hekmatyar also called on Afghans to use suicide attacks against the enemy -- a recent phenomenon in Afghanistan.

"If they cannot fight in an organised front, they can risk their lives and carry out suicide guerrilla attacks which have given great defeats to the enemy," Hekmatyar said.

And America is a lot bigger and badder than Italy ever thought of being.

Frankly, this "Jihad" stuff is gettig boring. He can take his Jihad, and shove it up his butt. Nobody cares.

Haven't these clowns figured out yet that simply declaring a "jihad" against America for the 10,000th time isn't likely to work.  Isn't there an old wives tale about "doing the same tired thing, the same tired way over and over again, expecting different results is the definition of insanity."

It was the French, Italian, and English that answered the call of Pope Urban II for the Crusade that started in 1095. ...and, by and large, they were a deadly bunch.

Jihad, smihad. I guess if it upsets them that men want to shave and woman don't want to cover their heads they have to call for a Jihad this and a Jihad that. Someone invite this guy to a disco and tell him to lighten up.

"We have lots of young fighters, who are ready to sacrifice their lives and wealth to save the religion," Hekmatyar said...from behind his rock.

Dear Gulbud,

If you lost against Rome, what makes you think you
are going to win against America.

Actually we don't much care, we are going to kick your
a*s anyway.

To us you are just the crack house at the end of the block and we are going to burn it down now.

Though, you've gotta hand it to these guys - some warlord in a musty ol' tent in a secluded valley in the middle of nowhere decides one day to declare war on us. They're nuts, but they have gusto!

Calling for jihad against the U.S. is an act of terrorism or war. Send the coverts in to blow his a$$ away.
