I suppose in the end it is all relative!

I always thought that Taliban and IS were all of the same ilk. But NO. Apparently they are not:

I suppose it is a bit like Catholics and Protestants. Theoretically they are cut from the same cloth.

But who can forget their murderous hatred each held for the other.

Now there is this ancient adage:

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

The only problem is whether the Taliban will agree to be shipped by the Americans over to the IS Caliphate so that the Taliban can go kill its Caliphate warriors. I put it this way because the Americans have violated the Code of Pashtunwali, the Parthans of the Taliban are now honour bound to kill every American that they can for violating their Code.

If this so, it would be such a sadly missed opportunity.
