Peshawar’s Newest Cultural Ambassador, Hafiz Salman, Brings Innovative Grave-Digging Workshop to Girls’ Cemeteries

PESHAWAR, PAKISTAN — Local authorities have temporarily paused an ambitious community enrichment program after a 19-year-old Afghan national identified as Salman (an Afghan national living in Bara Qadeem) was arrested in the Sheikhan/Budh Bher area. Locals caught him red-handed digging up a grave and removing the body of a young girl (reportedly around 2–3 years old). Police said he targeted only girls’ graves . . . for some reason.

According to police (including SP Saddar Fida Hussain), initial investigations and his reported confession indicated he had previously exhumed several other graves (reports cite around 4, with some later mentions of up to 10), removed girls’ bodies, took them to isolated areas, cleaned and dressed them, and sexually assaulted/desecrated them. He was described in some reports as a Hafiz-e-Quran who had completed intermediate (12th-grade) education.

Experts note that Salman’s intermediate education and complete memorization of the Quran positioned him uniquely to interpret ancient texts in a way that prioritized “inclusive outreach” exclusively toward deceased female children. Local progressive voices have already begun framing the incident as a tragic intersection of “unprocessed trauma,” “colonial borders,” and “systemic underfunding of afterlife gender studies.”

He was later killed on September 22, 2026, when unidentified gunmen ambushed a police team transporting him to the graveyard for identification. He died of gunshot wounds en route to the hospital. An FIR reportedly included charges related to grave desecration, sexual assault, child protection, and the Foreigners Act.

Photos and videos circulating online are from this incident. Details of the alleged sexual abuse come primarily from police statements and reported confessions; some outlets noted that not every graphic claim was independently verified beyond that.

The incident was widely covered by Pakistani media outlets such as The News, Kashmir English, Siasat, and others, though Western outlets are still awaiting confirmation that the perpetrator used incorrect pronouns before issuing full condemnation.

In a statement that has not yet been issued, community organizers praised Salman’s “bold reimagining of public space” and announced plans to rename a local park in his honor, provided the remaining graves can be relocated to a more welcoming, gender-affirming location.

This Just In

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai will likely sign a security agreement with the U.S. tomorrow to leave American troops in their beleaguered country past the end of the year, according to Fox News.

A senior Defense Department spokesperson told Fox News that approximately 9802 give or take a dozen or so, will stay behind to protect the behinds of this junkyard country (my apologies to those Afghans who find that term offensive, and if they do, then perhaps they should return to their desert paradise).

John Podesta, a senior adviser to the president who refuses to take advice from his advisers, will be signing the deal. This was announced after Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai was sworn in on Monday. Ahmadzai (pronounced "Mohammed") took the country's camel reigns and replaced Hamid Karzai, by beating Abdullah Abdullah (whose mother had no imagination) in the recent election.

In Ahmadzai's first speech, he called upon the Taliban to put down their weapons, smile, join hands with the nice Afghans and sign Kumbayah. The Taliban responded by beheading a camel and singing the Allahu Akbar song. The head of the Taliban, whose name escapes Chuck Hagel, swore to Allah that he will rid the country of all "nicer people."

Why Our Friends Kill Us

A face only a mother could love

There was an interesting report from Fox News online today where it said that lawmakers from the House Armed Services Committee are telling our military that they must do better screening of the Afghan security forces that serve with American troops.  There reason for this is that they are killing our guys who fight alongside them. The question is, what is it that they must screen for in order to ensure this will not recur?  They also admit that even with new safeguards in place, they don't believe that it will totally eliminate the problem.  So, what can we do?

The increase in attacks has been most recent--since 2007, seventy-five percent of the over 40 incidents happened in the past two years.  They claim that "most of the attackers acted out of personal motivation and were not directed by insurgents," and these attacks killed 70 coalition troops while wounding 110. 

Personal motivation seems to be a convenient way of leaving out the truth.  What personally motivates Afghan troops to kill Americans?  Did one of our men tell one of the Afghans that his mother smells like a camel?  No, of course not.  The truth is, the Afghans who did this were probably motivated by something even more personal to them than a simple inappropriate insult--they were probably motivated to kill due to something they hold important in their belief system--they were motivated by Islam.  (I wrote the word "religion" before deleting it and writing Islam--I don't see Islam as a religion in the same way we Westerners see religion.  Islam is more a geopolitical doctrine that we are being taught in America deserves more respect than any other religion lest we insult Muslims and they start killing us all over again.)

People are not normally willing to blow themselves up unless by doing so they get something out of it--something more desirable in their small, miserable lives than they are getting now.  Let's call it Paradise, 72 virgins who, no matter how many times you have at them, they remain virgins, and rivers of wine that flow all over the place, and palaces and other fairytale things a desert dweller would find worth blowing themselves up for.  And 72 virgins is just the low end of the heavenly virgin allotment.  The more infidels you kill for Allah, the more virgins you get--oh, and you never get tired of the sex and are always ready to perform.  No, I am not making this up.

Only 5-10% want to kill you

Islam is a religion of peace, they say, but forget to add that it becomes so only after everyone is saying "Allahu Akbar,"  and prays toward Mecca. 

So you think maybe this is why the Afghan troops are self-motivated to kill American troops? You think it just occurred to each of them individually and had nothing to do with what's written in their "holy" books?  If you do, then you might be a liberal.

If you are interested in terrorism and suspense, I have provided 2 links (below) for a hard copy (soft cover) edition and an eBook edition of my latest novel, Jihad Joe.  It's a story about Zed Nill, a New York based reporter, taken hostage by Islamic terrorists.  He must escape, or be beheaded the following day . . . the clock is ticking.
