More on Islamic Narcissism

Dear Dr Pipes, How should a person treat the hands that feed him? Well, if you are a narcissist, you will first eat the food because you deserve it and then go on to slap and insult the hand. This is exactly what the Muslim Taliban are doing to India. Afghanistan is starving and begging for food from all over the world, including from India. India is sending millions of dollars worth of humanitarian aid and truckloads of wheat to Afghanistan (ref1). How are Taliban returning the favor? Just as a Narcissist would. They are insulting India.

In the 18th century an Afghan warlord defeated an Indian army at Panipat in (the then) Punjab region of India (ref2). About 250 years later, the starving Talibans have named a unit of Afghan army "Panipat" (ref3). Literally, one Afghan hand eating the donated food and the other hand is stabbing the donor.

Should the civilized world let starving Muslims starve? Perhaps India should not feed the Afghans.
