• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

He came over here in 2021 and was granted asylum.
He didn't apply for asylum until December 2024, and it was granted in April of this year.

His legal stay ended in September 2025 and thus remained in the USA illegally.
He has been in the country legally from the time he arrived in 2021 until now. At no time was he in the country illegally.

He is here legally with request for green card pending.


“A Department of Homeland Security official told CBS News the suspect was paroled into the U.S. on humanitarian grounds back in 2021. That was the main legal mechanism the Biden administration used to welcome tens of thousands of Afghan evacuees after the Taliban takeover in August 2021.
Lakanwal later applied for asylum with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in 2024 and his application was granted in 2025, the DHS official said. But his request for a green card, which is tied to the asylum grant, is pending.”

He came over here in 2021 and was granted asylum. His legal stay ended in September 2025 and thus remained in the USA illegally.

His permission to be in the USA expired in September. Therefore, he was here now illegally.

....so, the suspect:

-supported American objectives in Afghanistan as part of an Afghan military unit working the CIA
-was granted legal entry into the US based on his prior support of American objectives in Afghanistan
-was granted in aslyum earlier this year.

What triggered him to turn to violence and intentionally target Guardsmen on duty two blocks from the White House?

Vabram: You made this same claim on page 2 - 6 days ago. And was corrected.

Yet here you are again, repeating wrong information. What gives?
