It's a strange story but UK has been invading Afghanistan since 1838. There was never any justification including the recent invasion (and defeat).  The nonsense continues with Australian David Hicks being arrested for attacking the US by sitting at Kabul airport. Gnads thinks Islamists in Afghanistan are Australian people.

An Islamist is a supporter of Islamism, a range of political and religious ideologies that believe Islam should guide political and social life. Islamists advocate for the implementation of Islamic principles, often in the form of a specific interpretation of Sharia law, to create an "Islamic state" and achieve a more "Islamic" society. While some movements are non-violent and focus on political and social reform, others are militant and promote violence and a rejection of Western influence.

Because it's a threat to western democracies like ours.

The UK is a perfect example.

Are you that thick?

Police believe the "Afghan crew" are a new organised crime network who are offering to commit acts of public violence for large sums of money.

Vibrant Afghans helpin' and pioneerin'.

Why are you conflating 'Afghans' with 'the Afghan crew'?

All Muslims are, by definition, Islamists.

The 'Afghan crew' are pioneers like the cameleers? South Australian Lutheran Germans are like German Nazis?  Bob Menzies has links with  the British men hanged in Australia for murder?

Islam is an ideology, not an ethnicity or race.  You can join it or you can leave it.
