:salam2:Assalaam walaikum,
Could someone translate what is written, please.
:salam2:
Yes, love and God loves them because they are holy warriors for God and the Afghan people struggling for an Islamic state on their land and on to Palestine, and this is what our Shaykh Fadil Abdallah Azzam, Allah's mercy and its housing vast paradises Secretary
Let me translate it better myself...
Yes, we and Allâh loves them because they are Mujahideen in Allâh's Path. The Afghan people are struggling for an Islamic state in their land and Palestine. This is what our Shaykh Abdullah Azzam rahimahullah said ''........'' Amin.
I feel that I am nine years old: seven-and-a-half years in the Afghan Jihad, one-and-a half years in the Jihad in Palestine, and the rest of the years have no value. -Shaheed Abdullah Azzam
Aapa: The "Taliban are not a nation"? What does THAT have to do with forming an opinion about them? Do they profess a coherent ideology? Can you not judge that ideology based only upon its merits? That ideology specifically states that you, as a woman with an education, are a sinner and worthy of death. If you lived in a Taliban influenced or controlled area you would not be allowed outside your home without male relatives. Though this is not unique in the Islamic World (Saudi Arabia enshrines this in law), it is unique by forbidding employment and education.
As for your last post, that yes you have the audacity because you are a believer, know that IF you dared to use the internet in Kandahar you would be executed.
Arzafar: The fact that any other entity may or may not have killed 8 year olds is irrelevant. We are discussing the Taliban. Comparing the Taliban's actions to others is an attempt to play a shell game. Comparing the hanging of 8 year old boys (more than one hanging) over extortion attempts cannot be compared to Collateral Damage. The latter is a byproduct of war and is legal both under International Law (LOAC/IHL) as well as under Shari'a. The hanging of 8 year olds on the other hand is illegal under every set of laws on the planet.
As for "today's Taliban" being "different"...The Taliban committed these same atrocities during the struggle against the Soviets, as well as during its struggle for supremacy against other mujahadin groups after the Soviet Withdrawal. The Kabul Stadium was turned into a killing field though it was usually women who insisted on an education that were being murdered there. For the sake of discussion, let us imagine you are correct, today's Taliban is a different ilk. Should you not then condemn the Taliban for heinous deeds committed under its ideology and banner?
Asja: Islam is not a monolithic Belief System. There are 4 major schools of Shari'a, and that is only under Sunna! "Fighting for Shari'a" means nothing. It is THE Shari'a that matters.
Idris: Why not confront the issue instead of hiding behind labels. Only Muslims can rationalise the murder of 8 year olds? I hope that is NOT your point. As for Islam, my first language is Arabic and I have studied Islam for decades so don't be too sure of yourself when judging me.
Aapa: So, you support anything said and done by any Muslim? Muslims are infallible? Muslims are humans and as such they fall prey to the same things that endanger all humans. Defending the actions of the Taliban simply because they profess to be guided by the Qur'an is unfair to yourself and to Islam. There is nothing in the Qur'an forbidding the education of females. In fact there is a fair amount of exegis supporting the right of all people to an education.
Mohamad: I don't own any tanks but thanks for the insults. Do us both a favour, act your age. If you are able to do so, I will be more than happy to discuss any subject you want. THIS thread happens to be about the Taliban, perhaps you might begin by discussing THAT subject.
:salam2:You were in the IDF weren't you? How many muslims did you kill? Trust me the blood of each and every Muslim will be avenged.
I am acting my age alright, you should start acting as humans.
