Wow, the film makers Heineman and McNally are total pieces of shit. They were warned several times that people would be killed if they didn’t blur their faces. Heineman and McNally said it would be fine, then said no one ever warned them, then said it’s normal to show faces, then said it’s really the governments fault, not theirs.
Heineman and McNally are responsible for this person’s death, and are too cowardly to admit it.
Jihadists are a plague on this planet.
I’m not Muslim, but I have a couple (well, two) friends who are, and they talk about Jihad like their struggle to be a better person. Like quitting booze or pop.
I won’t pretend to know all the intricacies, but I know for a fact that it isn’t just about terrorism.
Yeah, the English phrase would be like “following God’s light”
Anyone living life by their book can be considered a jihadist, though in Islam it’s reserved for monotheists
The guy was crazy for appearing in the documentary without a mask in the first place.
Did he really think the empire trying to subjugate his people was going to protect him once he outlived his usefulness?
Maybe the empire that invaded his country should have done more to protect him once he outlived their usefulness.
Why would you expect such an empire to help him once he was of no further use?
Like if they wanted to help people like him, they wouldn’t be there in the first place, let alone funding the very worst warlords, protecting the drug trade, locking people up in blacksites and torturing them, protecting Blackwater and others from prosecution for their crimes, etc.
You have to be really, really fucking evil for people to support the Taliban over you.
Did the film makers advised him to wear a mask and did he actively decide not to?
Otherwise, I tend to blame the film makers still, at least partly.
Ah, yes. The renowned unit of elite war fighters, the Green Beets.
