I recall one commentary section discussion. IIRC it was in the Belmnont Club. A guy said the typical Afghan fighter shoots like they drive. They point the gun in the general direction of their target, shoot, and Inshallah (If God wills) they hit their target. No aiming just point and pull.
On one of the History channel/military channel channels I was watching a narrative on an attack launched during the October/November/December '01 thumping of the Taliban and things were not going well but they were not bad either. Who were the first to turn tail and run? Yeap, the Afghans. It took one of our guys to stand up and lead a charge against the Taliban defenses. Fortunately the show of bravery turned the tide and our team carried the day.

Also, regarding the fighting abilities of muslims in general; they only tend to do well when they surprise women and children, as muslims are gutless cowards who have to be stoned off their asses to stay put and fight, for all the good it does them.
