Afghanistan crisis: Who are Isis-K? (Profile of one more Islamofascistic gang)
BBC ^ | Aug 26, 2021 | Frank Gardner

Posted on 08/26/2021 2:37:52 PM PDT by Humane1

Islamic State militants have been blamed for a series of deadly attacks in recent years - like this one on a wedding hall in Kabul in 2019

Isis-K - or to give it its more accurate name, Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) - is the regional affiliate of Isis (or so-called Islamic State) that is active in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

It is the most extreme and violent of all the jihadist militant groups in Afghanistan.

It was set up in January 2015 at the height of IS' power in Iraq and Syria, before its self-declared caliphate was defeated and dismantled by a US-led coalition.

It recruits from both Afghan and Pakistani jihadists, especially defecting members of the Afghan Taliban who don't see their own organisation as extreme enough..

Evidently ISIS is more dangerous elsewhere though Biden won’t say where but look out. He’s gonna get them. Expanding the war.

ISIS-K is a new found made up VARIANT of the Taliban, assuming the Taliban is ONLY all Sunni muslims, and the ISIS-K an offshoot of them— their being very few if any Shiite muslims in Afghanistan, but the see eye ehhh says they are 25% shia— and they invented the ISIS-K to describe them. Convenient.

Taliban is puritanical islam in practice, puritanical against shia as well. There may be a way to come up with someone other than our “pals” the Taliban as doing this... but cannot believe it to say it is shiite. Nice neat and not believable.
