The Obama administration is actively  encouraging Islamic terrorists like the Taliban by tying the hands of our soldiers: new rules of engagement reduce soldiering to policing,  the terrorists enjoy miranda rights, something so preposterous and absurd that it makes your head spin.

The terrorists know that and are biting their time….
The Taliban calls upon Afghans not to participate in the elections — or else.

Note also the quotation of Qur’an 5:51 about not taking Jews and Christians as friends and protectors — a verse that Islamic apologists in the West routinely claim is without any valid contemporary force and essentially meaningless.
