It seems odd that the father says “I am your father”. What’s that about?
The father didn’t speak in Pashto as is constantly mis- reported in the media. He spoke in Arabic:
“bism allah alrahman alraheem” – which means “in the name of Allah the most gracious and most merciful” By speaking those words on the WH grounds he sanctified it for Allah and claimed it for Islam. Six men died in the search for a PFC not SGT that walked off his post to join the Taliban and his father is “proud of him”?
Since when are the Taliban given nation-like status?
