The Struggle Against Jihadi Groups
It is undeniable that no military force in the world can contend with the true warriors of Islam. Despite possessing the most advanced military capabilities of their time, Western and allied forces have encountered nothing but defeat and humiliation at the hands of the Mujahideen.
Throughout Islamic history, whenever the battle between truth and falsehood has erupted, the true flag bearers of jihad have consistently emerged victorious, dealing harsh defeats to their enemies.
The non-believing world has spared no effort in attempting to defeat the Mujahideen globally. To undermine the true defenders of the Islamic cause, every conceivable method has been employed—not only through military confrontations but also through media propaganda, disinformation campaigns, and the creation of proxy groups to counter the genuine warriors of the Muslim Ummah.
Among these tactics, one of the most significant weapons deployed by the West and its allies has been the creation of the notorious Daesh-Khawarij.
Thus, wherever a sincere group from the Ummah has risen and declared jihad against the adversaries of Islamic law, it has achieved notable triumphs. Yet, suddenly, the Daesh-Khawarij emerged, launching military campaigns against the Mujahideen and aiding the enemies of Islam.
This malevolent strategy has been executed in nations such as Iraq, Syria, Egypt, various African countries, and other Islamic territories—resulting in significant gains for the West.
In Afghanistan, this sinister plot was also deployed to hinder the progress of the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA). At one point, this detested faction surfaced in the provinces of Nangarhar, Jowzjan, Kunar, and Faryab with full Western backing, mounting concerted efforts to combat the Mujahideen of the IEA on behalf of the occupying forces.
Despite being equipped with all modern military capabilities, this Western-backed destructive force could not withstand the faith and resolute determination of the IEA soldiers. Much sooner than expected, it was swiftly relegated to the dustbin of history.
In addition to clashing with jihadi groups, this reviled faction has advanced the interests of Islam’s enemies in various ways—a topic that will be explored in the forthcoming segments of this series, in shā’ Allāh (God willing).
