Hilarious US Talk Show Interview with Taliban Envoy - Pre 9/11

**aadil77** · 06-15-2010

This will clear up all your misconceptions about womens education, blowing up buddhist idols and harbouring osama bin laden

Absolutely hilarious interview with the envoy of taliban - Saeed Hashemi, he completely hammers their arguments

May Allah Bless the guy - he has such a funny accent

A american muslim women actually rings up and starts saying that western women are oppressed LOL

Beautiful interview - MUST WATCH. Its a bit long but its worth listening to what the taliban have to say for themselves

Note: I do not believe they are perfect, but alot better than the media makes them out to be

Peace brother Supreme!

The problem is that I only know about Pakistani Talibans. About Afghani Talibans, as I've said it many times before, I know very little about them. Largely because media would always portray them as terrorists. So can't believe what they say.

I think you should check various threads for the info.

Here is my thread about the mass massacre of innocent Muslims done by Pakistani Talibans.

Thank you for the link, sister, I read it. But what I'm asking is, is there any reason to think of the Taliban in Afghanistan in a higher/lower light, simply because they operate in a different combat theatre? For example, the Americans committed many atrocities whilst in Iraq. Is there any reason to assume that the Americans in Afghanistan are any better than their Iraqi stationed counterparts, simply because they're in a different place? Or do we say that the Americans in Iraq were evil and sadistic, but the Americans in Afghanistan are good people doing a good job, despite being part of the same organisation?

Brother, there is a lot of difference between pakistani and Afghani Talibans and comparing them with Americans is not fair at all. Americans driven by their greed, came and destroyed both countries. Whereas Afghani Talibans are fighting for the freedom of their country.

Pakistani talibans were a part of Afghan talibans I guess, but when they came to Pakistan and started killing their own Muslims brothers and sisters, then I think it gave rise to the parting of ways between Afghani and Pak talibans.

Afghani Talibans in various interviews have condemned the evil ruthless kllling carried out by pak Talibans. So we shouldn't paint afghani talibans with the same brush. They ARE different form the mass murderers!

These killings of Ahmadiyas were done by PAKISTANI talibans, not Afghani Talibnas!

Afghani Talibans disprove of these people's hideous acts and massacre of innocent beings!

Yes sis i know

, i didnt know before though

It has cleared a massive biggg gigantic misconception of mine. . .

Sorry

Pakistani taliban have started a war on the pak govt (and US forces), many scholars would say this is unislamic as you can't rebel against a muslim govt - the pak taliban have justified this by saying that pakistan has supported US drone attacks against muslims and killings in lal masjid and other attacks by blackwater pmc's

Afghan taliban are fighting an invasion which is a legitimate reason for jihad, if afghan govt gets in the way and allies with the 'enemy' then they have to be fought too as they've commited treason

I think pak taliban is supporting the afghans as recently they destroyed a NATO supply convoy going to afghanistan

Not really too sure which thread to post this but I chose this one.

I grew up in small town America, there were not too many Muslims. We as a community were from all over the world.

I distinctly remember as boy (during the 1980's), the local hospital, partnering with Christian groups, bringing the Mujahideen to our small town to be treated. There was one man I can specifically remember with a cast on his leg.

Here is another thing about that time period. There was a movie made called Red Dawn. It is about a Soviet/Cuban invasion of America. It takes place mainly in a small town in Colorado I believe, which for those not familiar with America, is mountainous.

The heroes of the story, are a young group of students that take refuge in the mountains and become freedom fighters, staging guerrilla type attacks.

I can't post pics or links but here are 2 links to stills from the movie:

rubbish as usual

Absolutely agree, if islam was about killing every kaffir, be rest assured the sahaba (ra) in the golden era of islam would have wiped out every disbeliever from the surface of the earth. If the Roman empire could not stand in front of them, who could have stopped them.

I recently heard a story about Mullah Muhammad Umar, it was when they were still in power pre-2001.
A group of high profile people from some foreign country were the visitors of the taliban. So naturally a huge feast was prepared for them with the best possible food. The visitors began to eat, everyone besides Mullah Umar. He asked one of his servants to bring his food for him, which was brought, it consisted of a bowl of plain ordinary soup and some dry stale bread, which he then began to eat. The guest were quite shocked to see this, so they asked him why was he eating that food instead of all the wholesome, fresh luxurious food that was in front of him.
His reply was:
"If this food that I am eating is good enough for the average person in my country, then certainly it is good enough for me" Allahu Akbar.
It brings a tear to my eye to know that there are still men like this in the world, it reminds me of the like of Sahaba (Ra). I don't believe a single word the western media has spoken to try and brain wash the world and is regretable that the muslims have fallen prey to this evil propaganda game.

SubhanAllah^ he's a pious man, would any current muslim leader in this world do the same?

he started the taliban by carrying out one act of justice and it was that which got him and the group all the support around afghanistan
