A representative of Hikmatyar's mujahidin spoke in the al-
Farooq mosque in Atlanta on Oct. 5.  He said that 
Hikmatyar's group would keep fighting until the communists
and those whose "fitra (nature) was no longer pure (salima)"
were eliminated.  He was also highly critical of Afghani
Shiah and Iran.

Who supports Hikmatyar?  What are the other parties solutions
for ending the war?

He also said hijra (emmigration) to Hikmatyar's camps was 
wajib, because if Muslims' efforts were divided then they
would be crushed.  Also, his camps are dar al-islam, all else
dar al-harb.  He also said Afghanis were the best to lead
Muslims since they are the least tainted by non-Muslim 
civilization.

I asked him afterwards if this view on hijra is an ijtihad
of Hikmatyar or has a past imam said such a thing.  He said
the ayat in the Quran which order Meccan muslims to make
hijra to the Prophet salla allahu alaihi wa sallam apply today.

I believe the Khawarij said a similar thing.

Please enlighten, jazakum allahu khairan
