To stop anarchy and establish a Pashtun-dominated government in Afghanistan, a movement arose called the Taliban. The Taliban are actually the by-product of the Russian invasion and the subsequent civil war in that country. Many of them were educated in madrassas, and were largely from rural backgrounds.
This group was made up of mostly Pashtuns that dedicated itself to removing the warlords, providing law and order, and imposing thier brand of Islamic Shariah law in the country. Now, these are the people who are implementing Islam forcefully. They sought to impose an extreme interpretation of Islam through which human rights violations are being committed.
These violations are mainly directed against women, who are restricted from working outside their homes. They are not allowed to get education; they are not allowed to leave their homes without an accompanying male relative, and are required to wear the traditional burqa. And in case of violation, these innocent women are subjected to thrashing and flogging.
Which Islam are they talking about? A woman is supposed to be respected in any Muslim house. Her respect is clearly depicted in the sayings of our beloved Prophet (PBUH), "the heaven is under the feet of your mother" and in the other saying it was said: "O' Muslim men! Treat your women well". Islam gives the message of peace and love and it was the peace which touched the hearts of ignorant people of Arabs and they were illuminated by the light of Islam.
Now it is the fastest growing religion in the world due to its balanced principles. The Taliban, so-called the warriors of Islam, are maligning the true image of our religion and not only violating human rights, but also violating the basic concepts of Islam. The government should adopt an uncompromising attitude towards safeguarding the sovereignty of the country. These Taliban cannot be considered, in any interpretation, as our Islamic brothers.
They are in fact, the agents of RAW and MOSSAD. Surprisingly, most of them don't know the Kalima and the basics of Islam. Their Islam starts and ends on the topic of woman's parda. Lets pledge to get united against these people so that we can prosper as a nation.
