Afghanistan War, 1978–92, conflict between anti-Communist Muslim Afghan guerrillas (mujahidin) and Afghan government and Soviet forces. The conflict had its origins in the 1978 coup that overthrew Afghan president Sardar Muhammad Daud Khan, who had come to power by ousting the king in 1973. The president was assassinated and a pro-Soviet Communist government under Noor Mohammed Taraki was established. In 1979 another coup, which brought Hafizullah Amin to power, provoked an invasion (Dec., 1979) by Soviet forces and the installation of Babrak Karmal as president.
The Soviet invasion, which sparked Afghan resistance, intially involved an estimated 30,000 troops, a force that ultimately grew to 100,000. The mujahidin were supported by aid from the United States, China, and Saudi Arabia, channeled through Pakistan, and from Iran. Although the USSR had superior weapons and complete air control, the rebels successfully eluded them. The conflict largely settled into a stalemate, with Soviet and government forces controlling the urban areas, and the Afghan guerrillas operating fairly freely in mountainous rural regions. As the war progressed, the rebels improved their organization and tactics and began using imported and captured weapons, including U.S. antiaircraft missiles, to neutralize the technological advantages of the USSR.
In 1986, Karmal resigned and Mohammad Najibullah became head of a collective leadership. In Feb., 1988, President Mikhail Gorbachev announced the withdrawal of USSR troops, which was completed one year later. Soviet citizens had become increasingly discontented with the war, which dragged on without success but with continuing casualties. In the spring of 1992, Najibullah's government collapsed and, after 14 years of rule by the People's Democratic party, Kabul fell to a coalition of mujahidin under the military leadership of Ahmed Shah Massoud.
The war left Afghanistan with severe political, economic, and ecological problems. More than 1 million Afghans died in the war and 5 million became refugees in neighboring countries. In addition, 15,000 Soviet soldiers were killed and 37,000 wounded. Economic production was drastically curtailed, and much of the land laid waste. At the end of the war more than 5 million mines saturated approximately 2% of the country, where they will pose a threat to human and animal life well into the 21st cent. The disparate guerrilla forces that had triumphed proved unable to unite, and Afghanistan became divided into spheres of control. These political divisions set the stage for the rise of the Taliban later in the decade

Forget a moment a matter of state argued that "more terrorists" rather than "Islamic." Forget the matter of "fears that deliberately created and maintained" and other conspiracy theories. While many are indeed now mengatasnamakan Islam and even the name of God to do the follow-terrorism. That is a fact that can not be denied.
Some time ago, Abu Dujana didor Densus 88 in Banyumas. Not only that, Densus 88 also shoots menciduk JI leaders, Zarkasih alias champion and "Roy Suryo" its Abu Dujana, Arif Syaifudin, also Aris Widodo, Isa Ansyori Muchairom, Fauzan Nur Ade Setiawan, Nur Afifudin alias alias Haryanto Suharto, and Azis Mustofa aka Train. Despite politicians koar-koar because dianaktirikan feel, I say goodbye for police, BIN, and other stakeholders to work hard for this.
It is true, India is not yet 100% safe, especially Abu Dujana claim has been 500 kg of explosives and weapons fire. The arrest may make the structure of JI shaky, but with a strong organizational cells, can be ascertained immediately JI akan install Anyar leaders and staff in the organization. But, what is Islamic terror carpenters make?
If read carefully, more than 3 / 4 the content of Al-Qur'an akhlakul Karimah review the matter. Concerning the nature and noble behavior that must be done, how kind to the children of parents, families, the Sakinah, courtesy in berkehidupan social, and things related. Moreover, if dirunut to the back, this book is derived to improve the morals of mankind marut vulgar. He is also the figure itself is very good in gentleness and courteous in every lakunya said. No wonder that since the youth, he has a lot of people being considered.
Al-Qur'an and As-sunah is actually more a matter of review "we." Very rarely written about "their" or "them" with the faith that is not "we." Toh, religious is a choice that can not be forced. As written in QS Al Baqarah 256, "There is no compulsion to (enter) religion (Islam)." That means that we should not compel people to convert us. We also can not compel others to necessarily follow what we want.
Also in QS Al An'am 108, Allah said, "And do not curse the gods they worship other than Allah, because they will curse God to exceed the limit without knowledge." So also does not make sense if we condemn United States or israel, let alone to call them (sorry) infidelity. It's definitely wrong.
If you can honestly, Islam in Indonesia is unique. Despite the largest Muslim population in the world, they split in the many classes, parties, clan, group, and the other constraint. Typically, between the one with the other difficult to appreciate each other and feel that dirinyalah the most good and most true.
Of course this is too funny for jokes. Islam bertuhankan one, nabinya also the same, have the same book. Jaman Prophet, Islam is also one. But why Muslims are now making a line pembeda alone? The actual pembeda vulnerable even on the split. Adem is calm, I would have a bomb. It's a busy ngurus education and health, others make even damaged a cafe and bar.
Until this far, winning the western world in Iptek and ekonopolitik. It is foolish if we fight with weapons weapons. Kalahnya clear. If you really want diunggulkan Islam, must with a clean heart and a brilliant brain. With the way the more intelligent and tactical. Not with the bombardment and terror penebaran here and there.
Shoptalk so it can not be avoided as a challenge that must be faced in time man. Dynamics of the change in time can make anyone more distant from religion. The problem now is that how we always update towards the era without ignoring signs-signs that exist.
Religion and holy book was revealed by the omniscient God knows everything. Musti that religion is not changed. But we as human beings.
