And the Beat Drones On: ISIS Recruiter is Toasted

Launching the attack

The man whose plan it was to make the Islamic State grow into a world dominating force was killed by an RC plane (often referred to as a drone) in Kabul, Afghanistan on Monday. The man I am referring to was an ISIS recruiter.

Also sent to their virgins were at least four additional bags of camel waste, local officials have told the Associated Press.

This was the first attack on an orthodox Muslim group in Afghanistan, and it comes at a time when IS is beginning to grow in that country like a tumor in a hairy armpit.

According to the deputy governor of the southern Helmand province, the recruiter was identified as Abdul Rauf. He and his four comrades were killed when the RC drone fired a missile into their car while they were driving along the road, obviously up to no good.

Yes, it was totaled

This has probably screwed up the Islamic State's efforts to establish a local ISIS affiliate that can challenge the Taliban. (The Taliban, as you may know, is a group that Obama refuses to refer to a terrorist group, in spite of the definition of what is considered a terrorist organization by the federal government, the government he heads.)

Afghan tribal leaders told the AP that Rauf was the top IS recruiter in Helmand and that he was a former Taliban commander who defected to the IS group. This challenges the notion that the Taliban is not a terrorist group, besides the fact that, as I parenthetically alluded to above, the federal government's definition of such a group already shoots that notion down. 

The Taliban terrorists are terrorists. Duh. The one common denominator of both groups is that pesky little thing called Islam. They both kill in the name of Mohammad, and unlike the Christians in the Crusades, are still committing barbaric acts that make one wonder why President Obama compared them to the Crusades in the National Prayer Breakfast.

The Islamic State controls large areas of Syria and Iraq and has declared that area a caliphate, which is an Islamic termmeaning: an Islamic state led by a caliph, or a so-called successor of the Islamic prophet Mohammad. 

The caliph of IS is Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, but don't call him "Al." In Islamic history, the first caliph after Mo was a guy named Abu Bakr. 

This caliph, let's call him Abu, was probably born in Iraq in 1971. As a youth, he enjoyed playing football, and for ten years until 2004, lived in a room attached to a small mosque in Tobchi, a Detroit-like neighborhood on the western edge of Baghdad. He eventually attained a BA, MA and PhD in Islamic Studies from the Islamic University of Baghdad. So it's no wonder why Obama believes the Islamic State isn't Islamic--what could Abu possibly know about the religion?

It's a good thing that Rauf was killed by us. Had IS gotten a foothold in Afghanistan, there would be two competing Islamic terrorist groups fighting it out as the country would likely destabilize, which for Afghanistan, might mean the price of camels would hit the proverbial roof.
