Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: The Texas Incident is Manifestation of Resentments – Ansar Al-Mujahideen
The language in this Taliban release is striking namely for what it doesn’t say. Not one mention of jihad. They have really refined and racheted up the way in which they are running their media campaign, something I note Abu Walid al Masri has also observed and pointed out to me. The below statement is a clear example of this.
Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: The Texas Incident is Manifestation of Resentments – Ansar Al-Mujahideen.

The Taliban are certainly becoming more timely than they have been with responses to events.
I’d love to hear your opinion re: why they may have left out any mention of jihad? Broader appeal? Avoiding turning off potential audience who equate the mention of jihad with extremists?
FYI, a PDF of the statement is also available via Scribd.com here – http://is.gd/4T0cH – in case one wants to avoid sharing their IP address with jihadi sites
Still mulling this over. Will get back to you on that.
