Millennial Taliban too soft for jihad, mullahs complain
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — As more and more young Afghans turn to television and social media, the Taliban's leaders are worried its youth are no longer ready for the fight against the infidels.
"They literally can't even jihad," said one senior Taliban mullah, who is involved in recruiting and training. "The youth today are happy to like our social media but when we invite them to become martyrs they do not reply to our messages."
"We have a saying in Pashto: Be peaceful in the cities and violent in the mountains," continued the mullah. "Today the youth only come to the mountains to take Instagram pictures to try to become 'influencers.' They are posers in the mountains."
