Interpreter Goes Jihadi in Afghanistan—Kills Two U.S. Servicemen

So, I cut out all the obvious propaganda from the Associated Press and all the irrelevant information from other incidences not related to the title of the AP article, and this is all that was left:

Official: Afghan Interpreter Killed 2 U.S. Troops

Saturday, January 30, 2010 - AP – via Fox News

[...] an Afghan interpreter killed two U.S. service members Friday at a combat outpost elsewhere in Wardak province, a NATO official said.

A U.S. soldier then killed the interpreter, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to release the information. It wasn’t clear why the interpreter had opened fire on the Americans.

[...]

Yes, that is all that was left from the article.

Of course, the AP writer seems to be a bit confused as to why the interpreter opened fire.  Uhm, now, I’m no fancy-schmancy AP journalist, but I’m going to take a stab at this “puzzler” and see if I can come up with an answer:

“You have in (Muhammad) the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern of conduct for any one to follow.” – Qur’an 33:21

“Allah’s Apostle (Muhammad) said, ‘War is deceit.’” – Bukhari:Vol 4, Book 52, Number 268

“By Muhammad’s order we beguiled them.” – Ishaq:442

“The Prophet said, ‘A single endeavor of fighting in Allah’s Cause is better than the world and whatever is in it.’” -Bukhari:Vol 4, Book 52, Number 50

Yup, it sounds to me like someone was just following Islam…

    Unfortunatly, due to the reasoning behind our misson in Bedrock, hearts and minds, we could do this for a thousand years and still be right where we are today. The insanity of the west is not confined to the AGW sphere. It runs the gamut of western society.

    This is all very sad but totally predictable. I sure am glad I don’t have to be the one who speaks to the parents. I don’t believe I could look them in the eye.

    The Austrailians have done what is necessary to protect their country, culture and beliefs in the freedom for their citizenry. They told the Muslims to forget changing their culture , beliefs, religion , and leave their great country immediately. That they should go to a Muslim country that would tolerate thier beleifs and Sharia Law.All the nations of the world should do the same to any militant religous faction !

    I can sum up the philosophy of modern western civ in two words, just pretend. Just pretend that history does not exist and it is easy to make any argument such as climate is changing or muslims are peaceful and friendly. Just pretend is not a winning strategy.
