"Fighters loyal to Islamic State have seized substantial territory in Afghanistan for the first time, witnesses and officials said, wresting areas in the east from rival Taliban insurgents in a new threat to stability. Witnesses who fled fighting in Nangarhar province told Reuters that hundreds of insurgents pledging allegiance to Islamic State pushed out the Taliban, scorching opium poppy fields that help to fund the Taliban's campaign to overthrow the Afghan government.

A super-duper bash of islamists fanatics slaughtering each other. What's not to like?!?

"Paradise" will be filling up fast … or should … Daesh and the Talis [& don't forget AQ, AS and BH !]are plagues that need to be eradicated or at least significantly attrited. To limit their medieval barbarity, etc. … |
