As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving Minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in:
United States -- Muslim 1.1%
Australia -- Muslim 1.5% Canada -- Muslim 1.9% China -- Muslim 3 % Italy -- Muslim 2.5% Norway -- Muslim 1.8%
At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs.
This is happening in:
Denmark -- Muslim 2%
Germany -- Muslim 3.7% United Kingdom -- Muslim 4.7% Spain -- Muslim 4% Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%
From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.
For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply.
This is occurring in:
France -- Muslim 8%
Philippines -- 5% Sweden -- Muslim 5% Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3% The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5% Trinidad & Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions.
In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections, in:
Guyana -- Muslim 10%
India -- Muslim 19.4% Israel -- Muslim 16% Kenya -- Muslim 10% Russia -- Muslim 15%
After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:
Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%
At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:
Bosnia -- Muslim 40%
Chad -- Muslim 53.1% Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%
Nigeria 50% Muslim
From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:
Albania -- Muslim 70%
Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4% Qatar -- Muslim 77.5% Sudan -- Muslim 70%
After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in:
Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%
Egypt -- Muslim 90% Gaza -- Muslim 98.7% Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1% Iran -- Muslim 98% Iraq -- Muslim 97% Jordan -- Muslim 92% Morocco -- Muslim 98.7% Pakistan -- Muslim 97% Palestine -- Muslim 99% Syria -- Muslim 90% Tajikistan -- Muslim 90% Turkey -- Muslim 99..8% United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%
100% will usher in the peace of "Dar-es-Salaam" -- the Islamic House of Peace.. Here there's supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in:
Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100% Somalia -- Muslim 100% Yemen -- Muslim 100%
Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.
It is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which they live by Sharia Law.
The national police do not even enter these ghettos. There are no national courts, nor schools, nor non-Muslim religious facilities. In such situations, Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. The children attend madrasses. They learn only the Koran. To even associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with death.
Therefore, in some areas of certain nations, Muslim Imams and extremists exercise more power than the national average would indicate.
Today's 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world's population. But their birth rates dwarf the birth rates of Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and all other believers.
Muslims will exceed 50% of the world's population by the end of this century.
do you have a degree in strategic analysis? you deserve a job at Interpol or the central intelligence agency

No he wasn't, he was head of the joint chiefs in desert storm and secretary of state under president Bush overseeing the war on terror and the invasion of Iraq in the post 911 days. the founder of boys scout is Baden Powell.
Nephrotic syndrome or Chronic kidney disease. We also would have rule out allergies and heart failure. He needs to do a renal function test and urinalysis. He needs a good cardiovascular history(from the drugs posted he seems to be a known hypertensive), as well as liver function tests. Your brother needs to see a nephrologist and a cardiologist and soon as possible
siofra: We have probably heard of alpha male and beta male but have you heard of Sigma male?
For those who don't know who an alpha male is, an alpha male is a dominant, assertive, protective, oftentimes successful, leadership type man or male. Alpha males are confident and the type of men that women are supposedly attracted to. While a beta male is a man who is less competent or desirable than an alpha male. Beta males are seen by society as weak and many times the type of men, women are supposedly not attracted to but they are not as bad as the Zeta male which is the lowest of the lowest. There are others which include the gamma and omega males which are all lower than the alpha male which is at the head of the hierarchy.
A Sigma male is a male who doesn't fit into the hierarchy but still manages to be attractive. They don't even care. They share some characteristics with alpha males but they do things their way and are non-conformists. Sigma males are supposedly more attractive to women because they seem independent. Sigma males detest authority and will bow down to no one, they usually have an air of mystery surrounding them and are highly intelligent.
Here are some of their characteristics: 1. Intelligence: Sigma males are very intelligent and tend to be analytical and critical thinkers, they are often very creative and think outside the box. 2. They are independent: Sigma males usually don't rely on people and so tend to be self-sufficient. 3. They don't feel the need to conform to any societal pressure. 4. They are usually quiet and spend time with themselves. 5. They value their freedom a lot and that's probably why they love traveling. 6. They avoid bowing down to authority. 7. They are not social butterflies. 8. Their MBTI types are usually INTP, ISTP, and INTJ. 9. They are usually redpilled from birth or an early age.
sonofElElyon: Ok. Guess you are a Taliban believer.. and a united nations and all respected intelligence sources disbeliever. You just google ISIS-K and haqqani and see what you get !
I posted a YouTube news video about ISIS-K and haqqani in my last post but you ignored it.
The Taliban Are Far Closer to the Islamic State Than They Claim The terror group behind the Kabul attacks has close ties to the Haqqani network. By Sajjan M. Gohel, the international security director at the Asia-Pacific Foundation. Taliban fighters in a vehicle patrol the streets of Kabul on Aug. 23. Taliban fighters in a vehicle patrol the streets of Kabul on Aug. 23. WAKIL KOHSAR/AFP VIA GETTY IMAGES AUGUST 26, 2021, 7:09 PM In an early sign of Afghanistan’s dystopian future as well as a reminder of its dark past, a coordinated suicide attack hit several locations in Kabul, including a hotel and the airport. Dozens of people were killed and hundreds injured, including Afghan civilians attempting to leave the country and the U.S. soldiers overseeing the evacuation. Islamic State-Khorasan has taken responsibility, but the Taliban faction partially in control of security in Kabul over the past several days, the Haqqani network, must also be scrutinized. Ultimately, the attack strategically benefits the Haqqani as it will likely speed up foreign departures and prevent the prospect of further evacuations.
Leaving Afghanistan What happens to the country and its people after the forever war ends?
MORE ON THIS TOPIC
There have been repeated warnings of a potential airport attack over the last week. When it came, it was not spontaneous or random but a well-planned assault, using multiple bombs and targets calculated to achieve several objectives. The first and most obvious goal was to kill fleeing Afghans and discourage others from attempting to leave via the airport—or to close the airport itself. But another goal was the death of coalition troops, thus using the specter of terror to ensure the West stuck to the agreed on Aug. 31 deadline to leave the country. The timing of the attack, on the cusp of the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, sends out a powerful signal to other jihadists.
The coordinated attack has all the hallmarks of Islamic State-Khorasan, including involving multiple suicide bombers, but disturbingly also has hallmarks of the Haqqani network with its focus on mass casualty atrocities utilizing powerful improvised explosive devices. The Haqqani network is an internationally proscribed terrorist group with generational ties to al Qaeda. It’s often said there’s a clear split between Islamic State-Khorasan and the Taliban, but the harsh reality of terrorism and politics in Afghanistan is the situation is never black and white. Sworn enemies can fight each other one day and collaborate for mutual gain the next day. These groups are intertwined and interconnected. Their tribal and marriage ties ensure ideological separations do not cause permanent fault lines.
The Islamic State’s entry in Afghanistan can be traced to a January 2015 audiotape message issued by Abu Muhammad al-Adnani, the Islamic State’s then-head of external operations, who revealed the group’s “expansion” into the “lands of Khorasan,” a term that encompasses not just Afghanistan but all of South Asia as well as parts of China. The new entity would be called Wilayat Khorasan, more commonly known as Islamic State-Khorasan in the West. It is more disordered than the original Islamic State but is still deadly and effective.

Initially, the Islamic State sought to directly undermine the Taliban. On July 12, 2015, the Islamic State released a statement and then an article in their magazine, Dabiq, revealing that the founder of the Taliban, Mohammed Omar, was not only dead but had died years earlier. This embarrassing disclosure forced the Taliban to admit that Omar had, in fact, passed away. By orchestrating the narrative, the Islamic State exposed fractures within the Taliban. Akhtar Mansour succeeded Omar, but he was unable to quell internal dissent over his appointment, resulting in defections to Islamic State-Khorasan. When Mansour was killed in a U.S. drone strike on May 21, 2016, Mawlawi Haibatullah Akhundzada took over. However, he too could not stem the flow of support to Islamic State-Khorasan, which was not principally ideological but mostly over leadership, turf wars, and other funding streams through illicit activities like narcotics and money laundering. Think of a squabble between mafia groups or medieval barons.
Islamic State-Khorasan has been primarily based in Afghanistan’s Nangarhar, a transit route of the lucrative drug trade, near Pakistan’s border. It has often collaborated with the Haqqani network in this clandestine enterprise. The head of the Haqqani network is Sirajuddin Haqqani, who is a proscribed terrorist. He also happens to be the Taliban’s second-in-command and has maintained very close ties to al Qaeda. Before Islamic State-Khorasan came on the scene, the Haqqani network pioneered the use of suicide bombings in Afghanistan and was responsible for killing and maiming thousands of U.S., coalition, and Afghan soldiers.
Before Islamic State-Khorasan came on the scene, the Haqqani network pioneered the use of suicide bombings in Afghanistan.
The Haqqani network also established close ties with Pakistan’s powerful yet notorious Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency, which provided weapons, training, and financial support. The ISI also provided shelter to much of the Taliban leadership that has now returned to Afghanistan, including the Quetta Shura faction. The primary reason the Haqqanis were able to endure for the last 20 years was because they benefited from safe havens within Pakistan that gave their fighters the ability to launch cross-border attacks and fall back when required.
All this has created the idea that the Taliban and the Islamic State-Khorasan are at odds. The Biden administration in part depended on that, as it looked to the Taliban to provide security against possible Islamic State-Khorasan attacks on the evacuation. This was in practice, though there has, in fact, been a tactical and strategic convergence between the Islamic State-Khorasan and the Haqqanis, if not the entirety of the Taliban. The Taliban are comprised of several factions, each with their own leadership, structure, and control of Afghan territory. Principally, they share common enemies: the former Afghan government of Ashraf Ghani and the West, which once stood in their way but are now opting for a speedy exit from Afghanistan.
On March 25, 2020, a Sikh gurdwara was attacked by suicide bombers and gunmen in Kabul; 25 people were killed in the coordinated assault. Islamic State-Khorasan Province claimed responsibility. Soon after, in a significant counterterrorism operation, Aslam Farooqi (aka Abdullah Orakzai), the Pakistani leader of the Islamic State-Khorasan Province, was arrested in Kandahar province by Afghanistan’s National Directorate of Security. Farooqi revealed that Islamic State-Khorasan had not only cooperated with the Haqqani network but also with the proscribed Pakistani terrorist outfits Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), the latter of which Farooqi was once part of. The LeT executed the synchronized 2008 Mumbai siege attacks that killed 166 people; and the JeM’s most infamous recruit was British Pakistani Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, one of the murderers of American journalist Daniel Pearl.
There was a clear division in terrorist labor. Islamic State-Khorasan recruits would receive training at JeM camps in Pakistan. The LeT would take part in the reconnaissance of targets in Afghanistan to create social, economic, and political consequences. The Haqqani network, through their criminal resources, provided coordination and logistical planning. Islamic State-Khorasan Province would provide the cannon fodder while also taking overall responsibility for the attacks.
On May 12, 2020, Islamic State-Khorasan gunmen strode into the Dasht-e-Barchi hospital in Kabul and attacked the maternity ward, which was supported by Doctors Without Borders, shooting hospital staff, women in labor, and newborn babies. The U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation, Zalmay Khalilzad, stated the Islamic State-Khorasan Province was responsible for the hospital attack. He did not blame the Taliban, which drew criticism across Afghanistan and speculation that Khalilzad was more concerned about preserving the Taliban’s image to maintain peace talks. READ MORE

Another major attack was the bombing of the Sayed ul-Shuhada High School in Kabul on May 8, killing 90 people, mostly schoolgirls. Islamic State-Khorasan, like the Haqqani network and the entire Taliban, is deeply and violently misogynistic.
The Haqqani network is a family-clan enterprise and consists of siblings, cousins, and other members through marriages. Another key member of the Haqqani network is Khalil Haqqani, regarded as the Taliban emissary to al Qaeda. Recently, Khalil Haqqani triumphantly strolled into Kabul as the Taliban’s head of security for the capital. In act of symbolic defiance, he carried with him an U.S.-made M4 rifle, with a protection detail wearing U.S. combat gear, all of which the Taliban had seized in recent weeks. Whichever faction was in charge of evacuation security should be asked why the perimeter was not properly controlled and why Taliban checkpoints that had stopped many Afghans from reaching the airport nevertheless failed to stop the attackers.
The murky nature of Islamic State-Khorasan’s relationship with the Haqqani network as well as Pakistani terrorist groups presents a complex arrangement of tacit cooperation between several terrorist organizations. So do its intricate ties to the Pakistani military and intelligence community. That has dire implications for Afghan and global security, especially as Pakistan is so keen for the international community to recognize and legitimize the Taliban.
Right now, Afghanistan is before the eyes of the world, but what happens after the West leaves? The airport and hotel attacks are only the beginning of Afghanistan’s nightmare. The Taliban will use the incident to further crack down on Afghan civilian freedoms under the guise of security. Although the Taliban will face criticism for not preventing the attack, to them the bigger prize is the West’s departure. For them, the death of innocent Afghans at the hands of the Islamic State-Khorasan is merely a strategic means to an end. Islamic State-Khorasan and the Taliban may resume their squabbles, but they also have more in common with each other than they have differences...
O well I ain't a Taliban sympathiser,
I like this analysis, i just felt blames shouldn't be apportioned without proof. I felt cooperation with theTaliban cooperation was needed for peace in Afghanistan. But your summation is fair enough and pretty convincing. I never saw this merger coming. Afghanistan is complex, I guess I oversimplified things
USA publicly warned of the impending attack by ISIS-K
ISIS-K was identified as the threat
The Taliban had checkpoints around the airport area to screen people
ISIS-K and the Taliban have a loose connection through the haqqani network whose key member is now in charge of security in the new Taliban government.
The Taliban and ISIS-K are rivals but have some sort of "loose fragile understanding"
If I get you right you're saying taliban are culpable because 1)the US issued a general warning of an impending attack: general warning of an impending attack doesn't equate to actionable intelligence 2)the bombers evaded Taliban security at the airport: terrorist especially isis are known to be masters at bypassing security they learnt well from Al Qaeda in the Arabian peninsula. it's like saying the Dutch government where culpable in the abdumuttallab's failed Christmas day bombing because he evaded Dutch airport security. 3)the link between the Taliban and Isis is the haqqani network : last I checked the haqqani network were basically interested in maintaining the opium trade and waging insurgency against US troops in the tribal areas. they've got no business with Isis bro. it's rational to even assume that they see isis more as rivals than allies
sonofElElyon: 1. There's a channel of communication between USA and the Taliban. There were (maybe still are) thousands of USA citizens in Afghanistan. When it comes to the safety of USA citizens they'll definitely share Intel.
2. Assuming (for the purpose of argument) but not conceding that they didn't share Intel, note that USA issued a public warning about the likelihood of a terrorist attack. The Taliban was aware but conveniently refrained from going after ISIS-K to stop the attack. They are therefore jointly culpable
1)the Taliban aren't responsible for the attack 2) your summation that they are culpable is based on an "assumption" (that the CIA may have shared Intel with them) 3)even if the Taliban were told of the treat ,what would they have done to avert an attack. Intelligence usually comes in sips 4) the Taliban would be jeopardizing their gains by allowing Isis any foothold in Afghanistan. not just because Isis is a rival in the khorasan but because they'd risk US and global anger by working with isis in any form, at a time when they need global and American recognition and validation
sonofElElyon: And the Intel would've been shared with the Taliban who conveniently did nothing. They are jointly culpable by reason of refusing to go after ISIS-K. That's their job as the government
The Taliban has been at war with Isis since 2015. the Intel was strictly CIA only as at yesterday, US and UK ordered her citizens to flee the airport immediately.
the CIA would never share Intel with the Taliban bro
SmartPolician: The Taliban fighters may not be responsible for the senseless attack. Let's wait for them to claim responsibility first. Another militia may be setting them up against the US military.
Imagine killing American soldiers who have already decided to leave your country for you guys. That's madness!
Isis in khorasan is most likely behind the attack. Intel pointing to an imminent attack came as early as Monday
Tokskob2008: This people should be left alone to do whatever they like to do within their country, if they like let them kill evey single citizen in their country na them sabi..
true, but only if they let the rest of the world be by not planning a second 911

are you kidding? the aros never took land belonging to the ohafia biko
