02 - Who Was Ahmad Shah Massoud? Feat. Abdullah Anas
Episode description
As one of the earliest Arabs to join the Jihad in Afghanistan, the Algerian Islamist Abdullah Anas counted as brothers-in-arms the future icons of al-Qaeda’s global war, from Abdullah Azzam to Osama bin Laden, and eventually befriended key resistance leaders in Afghanistan such as Ahmad Shah Massoud.
Brushing shoulders with everyone from Zarqawi to Haqqani, Anas distanced himself from their movements, disagreeing with their narrow interpretations of political Islam. While he remains committed to his Islamic duties, to this day Anas takes issue with the extremist trajectories of his one-time companions.
In this episode of the Radio Resistance Podcast, we discuss Mr. Anas' book titled, "To The Mountains," in which he describes his days of Jihad, how he met Amer Saheb aka Ahmad Shah Massoud & how this man was exceptional in contrast to the Mujahideen of that time.
