The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan

In the interests of clarity it is always best to begin a story 

at its start and to start this story one must point out that 

the world's colossal number of refugees today stream 

out of those Muslim countries which have distinguished 

themselves by their totalitarian rule of oppression and 

terror and where tribalism and sectarianism become the 

guiding principles tacked onto rigid sharia law. Those who

rebel are destined to die at the retributive hands of their 

tormentors. In this spirit of cleaving to the one true 

religion spurning all others the 57 nations that comprise 

the Organization of Islamic Cooperation conclude that 

following due consideration of recent circumstances

it is incumbent on all 'sides' of the Afghan conflict to 

live together in brotherly harmony a condition to which 

women are excluded as the 'spoils of holy war'. The 

Islamist terrorist brigands that have spoilated the country 

in their zeal to unseat a constitutional government is 

therefore viewed as the accepted incumbent not the 

terrorist horde that they are whose exploits have caused 

millions to flee their country. To this is solemnly added 

the desire to see the international community take up 

its humanitarian torch in providing charitable funding 

so the country may be rebuilt in the image of Islam. 

The end of this story? The West opening wide its 

tried-and-true arms in welcome to the traumatized 

as Islam's universal message of peace resonates.
