'American Taliban' John Walker Lindh has penned an op-ed under the name Yahya Lindh that was published on the day the nation marked the 20th anniversary of 9/11.

The bizarre opinion piece, published by The Intercept, does not identify the author as the notorious American who left his northern California home to fall in with the Taliban and met Osama bin Laden before the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Headlined 'The Guantánamo Bay Internment Camp Is an Unresolved Vestige of the American Occupation of Afghanistan,' the article marks his most public overture since being released from prison after serving a 17-year sentence and otherwise maintaining a very low profile. ...

...Lindh was released from prison in 2019, after serving out 17 years of his sentence in a Terre Haute, Indiana facility.

Under the terms of his probationary release, where he got three years deducted for good behavior, he was required to get permission from his probation office to gain Internet access, couldn't view extremist videos, and was required to allow his probation officer to monitor his Internet use. ///

One of the least discussed aspects of the Johnny Taliban story is the fact that his dad left the family to lead a gay lifestyle. It’s undoubtedly soul-crushing to have a father turn queer. Now, it’s certainly true that it happens to a lot of other people, and they don’t join the freakin’ Taliban, so I’m not excusing the son. He’s an outlier, but nonetheless he is indicative of how extremely screwed up a kid can get when a parent turns to sodomy. Other kids in similar situations may have issues drugs/alcohol/suicide/depression/eating disorders... Johnny’s reaction was to become the antithesis of his father, adopting a hyper-strict religion and a hyper-macho lifestyle as a jihadist.

He should have been executed and be forgotten.

My sentiments exactly. Instead he is celebrated at the White House.

When did “Why Johnny Can’t Read” become “Why Johnny Left Home To Become An Islamic Extremist Jihadist Warrior And Fight Against His Own Country’s Military”?

Apparently Lindh has violated a probation requirement, which was a ban from Internet use for three years.

Indeed. Why is he still burdening us with his presence on this earth?!

Yes. The MSM swept that under the rug.

If he was a real Muslim he would have decapitated his father.
