Nasir Khan blog

I was born in Poonch (Kashmir) and now I live in Norway. I oppose war and violence and am a firm believer in the peaceful co-existence of all nations and peoples. In my academic work I have tried to espouse the cause of the weak and the oppressed in a world dominated by power politics, misleading propaganda and violations of basic human rights. I also believe that all conscious members of society have a moral duty to stand for and further the cause of peace and human rights throughout the world.

The Afghan Mujahideen (Islamist fighters) of the 1980s who took power in Afghanistan as Taliban in the 1990s were the creation of the United States and some of the US allies in the Middle East and Pakistan. That's history. No need for me to repeat what has happened since the US invasion and occupation of Afghanistan. We know how the Afghans after taking Kabul on August 15, 2021 showed human decency to allow the defeated US army to get out of Afghanistan safely.
