The author of this piece misses one important point in connection with the USSR. The Soviets from the point they put their noses in countries they wanted under their control would exterminate Muslims or peoples of other religions in the process. Religion was always to be eliminated under Communist rule, as it is a dangerously independent form of thinking.

This was no less true in Afghanistan, particularly after the Soviet orchestrated coup d'etat in 1978. I would be surprised if a good part of the moudjahidin hatred of the Communists was not due to this, rather than just American manipulation.
