A cover article in the latest issue of the "Voice of Khurasan," an English-language monthly magazine published by Al-Azaim Media Foundation, a media outlet linked to the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP), which defines itself as a supporting entity for the Islamic State (ISIS), criticizes a series of international conferences from Malaysia to Qatar which it says were aimed at mobilizing the ruling Afghan Taliban to fight the Islamic State to advance Western strategic objectives.
The article, titled "It Is Not For The Jackals To Overcome The Lions," states: "The status and honor of the Taliban militia has fallen so low, that to protect their interests and power in Kabul they are ready to fight against the believers in the context of 'terrorism.' What is even more embarrassing and shameful is that they are fighting this war under the leadership and guidance of Crusader women..."
"Regarding the recent efforts of the world of kufr [unbelief] and the Taliban militia against the Islamic State," the article continues, "it should be said that even before this, the ancestors of the liars had made every effort to extinguish the flame of truth and kill the righteous, and just as they failed, the liars of today will also be disappointed and unsuccessful."
The article appears in the magazine's current issue, Issue 37, which is dated Dhu Al-Hijjah 1445, in the Hijri calendar, which corresponds with the lunar month beginning June 7, 2024. A PDF copy of the magazine was shared on the Internet.

"The Infidels Have Their Eyes On The Apostate Taliban Militia, Where All Of Them – The Infidels In The East And The West – Unanimously Agree That To Suppress The Lions They Must Use The Taliban Forces"
"Recently, the Islamic State [ISIS], especially Khurasan Wilayah, has again burgeoned as an imminent threat day by day for the infidels of the world. Therefore, the infidels have their eyes on the apostate Taliban militia, where all of them – the unbelievers in the East and the West – unanimously agree that to suppress the lions they must use the Taliban forces.
"In the last few weeks, it was observed that the enemies of the Islamic State held meetings under different contexts in Doha, Kazakhstan, Turkey, and other places to develop war strategies against the Islamic State. Similarly, a few days ago, the head taghut [tyrant] of the Crusaders, the braindead [U.S. President Joe] Biden, openly declared that to suppress the Khurasan Wilayah branch of Islamic State, they would not undertake a military invasion, as there are many other ways (e.g., Afghan Blackwater).
"Khurasan Wilayah of the Islamic State has become an imminent danger for the infidels of the world, particularly in the past few months in which the mujahideen hit several major foreign targets, such as the Rafidhi mushrikeen [i.e., Shi'ite polytheists] in Kerman [city of Iran], then the bloody attack on the Crusader Russians, and most recently, the attack on the foreigners in Bamyan [province of Afghanistan]. These are the major factors that have increased ten-fold the fear, terror, and anger among the infidels.
"Due to these fearless attacks, all the infidels of the world, especially the leader of those in the East, Russia, and the chief of those in the West, America, have become extremely restless. This anxiety and what they feel is a pressing need to suppress the mujahideen of the Islamic State led them to hold meetings all over in which they discussed only one topic – to overcome the lions, the Taliban militia is the best option; so, they must invest in them because their pay is less, they work with sincerity and vigilance, and they do not give favor to anyone."
"These Meetings [Targeting ISIS] Began In Malaysia With A Conference Held Under The Polytheist Slogan 'Unity Of Religions' In Which Sikhs, Hindus, Christians, Jews, Communists... Along With So-Called Muslims And Members Of The Apostate Taliban Militia Took Part"
"These meetings [targeting ISIS] began in Malaysia with a conference held under the polytheist slogan 'Unity of Religions' in which Sikhs, Hindus, Christians, Jews, communists, and infidels of many different stripes, along with so-called Muslims and members of the apostate Taliban militia took part.
"Their sole concern was that 'Unity of Religion' have only one enemy – the mujahideen of the Islamic State – and that until not one loyal soldier of the Islamic State remains, 'Unity of Religions' cannot be successful; and from Malaysia to America, all the infidels and Muslims will never be allowed to live together in an atmosphere of brotherhood, friendship, and love, as such is forbidden in Islam.
"The meeting [in Kuala Lumpur on May 7, 2024] was attended by about 2,000 people from different faiths, all joined together with a common slogan: 'There should be harmony between religions and all people of every religion.' The main purpose of this meeting was to embrace tolerance for infidels, develop a moderate American Islam, invite people to international peace, and build bridges of social coexistence between infidels and Muslim communities. Members of the Taliban militia attended this meeting and raised cries against the enemies of 'Unity between Religions.'
"A few days after the meeting, an international meeting called the Global Security Forum was held in Doha [on May 20-22, 2024], that aimed, as the name implies, to eliminate the threats and challenges to the international system and to fight terrorism so that the global jahiliyyah [pre-Islamic ignorance] system remains intact. The main objective of the meeting of the Global Security Forum and the only topic discussed by its participants, was the war on terror. All the participants said the same thing, that the biggest threat to international security at this time is 'terrorism,' especially the 'Islamic State.'
"The meeting, which was held under the direct supervision of American intelligence, took place at the Soufan Center in Doha. In attendance was the apostate Taliban militia's ambassador to Qatar, Mohammad Naeem Wardak, who assured, along with the American intelligence officials, about cooperating in the war on terror and suppression of Khurasan Wilayah of the Islamic State."
"Despite The Fact That The Apostate Taliban Militia Does Not Publicly Demonstrate Its Standing Shoulder-To-Shoulder With The United States In The War On Terror (Islam), Its Presence In All Conferences Related To That Subject, The Promise Of Cooperation With American Intelligence Agencies... Have Exposed Their Deceitful Faces"
"Despite the fact that the apostate Taliban militia does not publicly demonstrate its standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the United States in the war on terror (Islam), its presence in all conferences related to that subject, the promise of cooperation with American intelligence agencies, and the firm steps taken by the militias to protect the international jahiliyya system under their supervision, have exposed their deceitful faces even more.
"At the [Doha] conference, one of the attendees, Waseem Nasr, signaled toward the Taliban militia and said: 'It is easy for the jihadists to fight against the foreign fighters [based in Afghanistan], but to fight against the local forces is difficult, and then it is much more difficult for the jihadist to fight their own comrades.' Meaning, if you want to end the imminent danger to the infidels, then it is best to let jihadists such as the Taliban stand against the [ISIS] fighters because it is difficult to fight them!

"Dr. Adejoké Babington-Ashaye then said: 'Gender and sexual violence must be fought like terrorism.' The words of this prostitute should also fall like death on the Taliban militia, as they fight terrorism under the command of racists. 'When it comes to the war on terror, our special focus is on this point, because we are all friends and partners in this matter,' said the intelligence aide.
"These are the words of the barbaric Americans, who are taking the Taliban militia as their partners and friends against terrorism in this conference, and the militia itself is proud that they are part of such a great conference. Christine Abizaid, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, said: 'After a long time of destabilizing Daesh, ISIS, we are now witnessing them re-establishing themselves. This raises significant concerns for U.S. counterterrorism agencies.'
"Thomas Renard, head of the International Centre for Counter Terrorism in Europe, was very concerned about the increasing danger of the Islamic State in Europe, especially that posed by the mujahideen of Khurasan Wilayah. His focal point of discussion remained fixed on this subject. The meeting was attended by representatives of international intelligence agencies, media, embassies, and other agencies, mostly women.
"This clearly indicates that the status and honor of the Taliban militia has fallen so low, that to protect their interests and power in Kabul they are ready to fight against the believers under the context of 'terrorism.' What is even more embarrassing and shameful is that they are fighting this war under the leadership and guidance of Crusader women, and through these actions, they want to leave centuries of modesty and shame."
"Recent Conferences By The Kuffar Of The World Have Further Clarified The Use Of Taliban Militias In The War On Terror On The Soil Of Khurasan, And Have Also Revealed The Taliban Militia's Secret Friendship With The Infidels Against The Believers"
"In the same series of meetings and conferences, the member-states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) organized their own talks concerning the fear of Khurasan Wilayah. Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, China, Russia, and India joined and emphasized that the Taliban militia should stop the Islamic State fighters, to prevent the threat and protect the security of the SCO member states.
"In particular, Russia's defense minister and head of intelligence and Kyrgyzstan's national security agency called on the Taliban militia to stop the influence of the Islamic State because, according to them, the level of the terror threat from its Khurasan Wilayah in Central Asia is increasing day by day.
"Recently, the U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan, Tom West, visited Qatar and Turkey, two close allies of the Taliban militia, and spoke to them to jointly take firm steps against the threats from Khurasan Wilayah, and to do everything possible to stop them. Essentially, in all of these meetings, the infidels determined that to eliminate the threat from the lions of Khurasan Wilayah of the Islamic State, they must employ the jackals of the Taliban militia.
"The Taliban militia has already given repeated assurances to the world that they are performing their function well and working for its benefit more than what they received and have made every kind of sacrifice in the fight against the Islamic State. A few days ago in Iraq, the Taliban's Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi assured the world that their militias have completely eliminated Khurasan Wilayah of the Islamic State and it no longer poses any threat to any country in the world.

"Recent conferences by the kuffar [unbelievers] of the world have further clarified the use of Taliban militias in the war on terror on the soil of Khurasan [i.e., Afghanistan] and have also revealed the Taliban militia's secret friendship with the infidels against the believers. Similarly, the braindead taghut Biden reiterated: 'There is no need for a military invasion to fight Khurasan Wilayah of the Islamic State because we have other ways through which we can suppress it.'
"These other ways are well-known: $40 million in weekly aid packages, huge incentives, countless weapons, prospects, and everything else to the militia so that they can fight the Islamic State in Khurasan as the American Blackwater [the private security firm now known as Academi].
"Of course, you must have heard Biden's words some time ago when he said: 'I told you that the Taliban will work for our interests. Have they worked for us or not? Look, they fight Islamic State for us.' The second biggest taghut, Donald Trump, also said during the Doha Agreement [of 2020]: 'It is time for us to withdraw our forces and hand over our mission of 'killing terrorists' to the Taliban so that they can complete this mission for us and fight the terrorists instead of us.'
"However, regarding the recent efforts of the world of kufr [unbelief] and the Taliban militia against the Islamic State, it should be said that even before this, the ancestors of the liars had made every effort to extinguish the flame of truth and kill the righteous, and just as they failed, the liars of today will also be disappointed and unsuccessful. And the Islamic State will gain power each and every day and expand even more, by the permission of Allah. For all their meetings, conferences, and plotting, it suffices to say: They plotted and Allah was also plotting, and Allah is the best of those who plot."
