The American and Afghan governments have warned “that the Islamic State is dramatically expanding its footprint in Afghanistan and planning to use it as a base for attacks on Western countries, including the United States.”

The Islamic State, despite losing territory in Syria and Iraq, has long called for attacks on Western nations globally. General Joseph Votel–head of the US military’s Central Command–also stated months ago “that it was necessary to maintain a vigilant offensive against the now largely dispersed and disaggregated [IS] that retains leaders, fighters, facilitators, resources and the profane ideology that fuels their efforts”. The “profane ideology” to “Kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89) has infiltrated all Western countries, while Leftists fall for the “Islamophobia” trap.

Yesterday, Jihad Watch reported that a “major Taliban sanctuary and weapons storage area” was found in a mosque. While Western authorities largely fail to recognize what the obvious jihadist threat is about, using a mosque–a place of worship–is highly significant in further demonstrating the clear religious motive in the global jihad. “Afghan armed forces carefully conducted the operation to bust the sanctuary of the group considering the sacred place of mosque.”
