The taliban are not a good choice to rule over any civilians. They are oppressive and brutal. I think they would make excellent prison keepers though. Omar as the warden, and his cronies as the gaurds. I don't mind if criminals are treated bad.

I was thinking that many people are happy that the Taliban were driven out of Afghanistan while many other think the Taliban can bring peace there.
I'm Afghan-American and from my point of view, I'm happy that the Taliban are no longer there. The afghans went through enough torture.
What does everyone here think?

any proof that the taliban was a cause of the torture? lets see it inshaAllaah

brother, I don't need to give any proof. The biggest proof ca be heard from the mouths of the afghans that were present during the Taliban rule. No one has to accept that all I believe is true. Like I said before, Allah(swt) is the All-Seeing and knows who has done what, where, and how. He will punish the wrong-doers and reward those who strive towards the right path.
ps: you can go through my other posts in the thread, it may not be much of a proof but it's what the afghans have been through.

Taalibaan indeed indulges in soofiyah and numerous other innovations, I think this is a wonderful post on another forum made about Taalibaan and many other groups some love today:
I read a fatwa somewhere by Shaykh Saalih Al-Uthaymeen condemning them as well.
Dawud_uk
but sometimes a little harshness can be forgiven if the end result is for the good of islam.
May Allah swt bring back the taliban and let them bring victory of islam to afghanistan and its surrounding lands, ameen!!!
"I'm not pro-afghan government nor am I pro-talibs. What the talibs used was mainly Tribal customs mixed in with shariah. Not "Pure" shariah.
I still feel the Talibs were not the ones, I mean why then would they lose power unless Allah (swt) willed it?
HAve u been there?!
First of all, the Taliban didn't follow the shariah completely. There wasn't little harshness but alot...wait a minute...harshness? it's more like torture...closing schools and giving women no right is not said in the shariah, i'm not against the fact that they got women to cover themselves, but the amount of people they killed and how they killed them..that's just terrible. Some people here think that I'm happy that the Taliban are no longer in power and that I'm glad that America is in Afghanistan....I am not happy at all with America being there. The Taliban would have been fine IF they followed the Islamic shariah the way they were supposed to....I'm not sure if anyone here saw the documentary of the woman that was shot over her burqah in front of her three kids, and like it's said "don't believe what you don't see", but a family member of mine also witnessed it. Is that following the shariah?
Let's go back to what brother Erundur has said:
I also believe that it was more like tribal customs, and if the Taliban had heart...they would have had mercy on the poor people.
Ameen Bro, the motive of the west is clear. Building these schools to push their thoughts and values in to our world. I keep saying at least the Taliban tries to implement Allah's law. And for that i say a big thumbs up.
face judgement on that and may Allah swt forgive you, me and all those living in darul kufr whilst the muslim lands need our aid.

i need to add this: our objection to al-qa`idah of ibn laden, whether it exists in iraq, algeria, palestine, lebanon or afghanistan, and the other similar groups like taliban and hamas, is not merely because of their methods, which indeed have corrupted the proper meaning of jihad and its goals and methods, but also because of their methodology and the way they understand iman and kufr, tauheed and shirk, and the fact that they resurrected the methodology of the khawarij and, in the case of taliban, sufism and, in the case of hamas, preferring political reform to reforming the creed and practices of muslims by claiming that there is no time to waste.....in the end, they did not establish the khilafah, or reform politics, or free muslim lands, or reform the creed and practices of muslims, but instead wasted tens of years trying to earn victory from allah without establishing the true islam in their hearts and life as the prophet of allah and his companions did......as a consequence, muslims now live in a far worse situation than they were even ten years ago: civil wars, backward economies, division, bidah, lack of safety, sects, nationalistic ideas, etc., which really brings grief to muslims and trouble to their lands.....in comparison, the prophet's blessed jihad and his companions' continuation of it led to the conquering of many lands, including palestine, iraq and afghanisatn: kabul was conqeured by an army that included some of the sahaba, and do not forget who conquered india and who delivered al-quds from the hands of the european christians, it is the same salaf that people today ridicule: i just received an email from a moron who takes osama abdallah as his teacher, attacking the salaf by calling them a sect, so i responded by saying that my sect is the sahab, what is your sect?.....
the salaf: they open and we close, they conquer and we surrender and lose, they succeed and we fail, they establish the religion and we divide in it, they earn allah's forgivness and we do not know how and where we will end if we continue defying them and contradicting the sunnah, we do not practice islam or its faith as they did but we wish to receive glory and might even more than that they received.....al-albani's advice is a golden advice, if muslims but listen and obey, that the young men and women of today should shun all these sects and concentrate on building their islamic faith and practicing it the way the salaf did that one day soon they may see al-quds the same way salah ad-deen saw it after around 200 years of bloody crusader presence......

Yes may Allah (swt) forgive all the Muslims in Non-Muslim lands.
assalaamu alaykum,
yet it is contary to what i know of them from speaking to brothers who travelled there during that time, they did purify the sunnah and arrested some of the worst innovators such as two leading sufis until they repented and agreed not to act as they had done and also destroyed the structures built over tombs of saints.
Me too, My grandfather went there, two of my Uncles went there so yeah...
the person seems to be speaking from ignorance, may Allah forgive him and may those he has slandered forgive him for such.
I hope not, he is a Muslim leader in florida, he did a refutation against a person who was slandering Islam, www.muslimaccess.com <--- check it out is on the first page, just go down and you will see his name.
these allegations seem to stem from the fact that the talibans origins is in the deobandi madrasahs and because some of the deobandi scholars are upon shirk and bidah then all must be but this is like saying all those who attend al azhar are upon the ashari aqeedah and upon the innovations of their teachers?
Do you know any of them personally?
Here is the thing, the Shariah law was mainly based on Pashtun Culture. I believe there is an article here where an afghan made a claim that The Shariah was in direct with there culture. But it was from a non-muslim source.
one ruling on the taliban made this exact point and showing how rediculous it is, especially as most of the taliban studied in madrasah in northern pakistan not in deoband in india.
Thank you for pointing out that the Talibs originated in Pakistan and not in Afghanistan.
who kill and imprison muslims and especially the mujahadeen
Both of my Grandfathers were Mujahadeen and so was one of my Uncles against the soviets, One of my Grandfathers had passed away though (may Allah forgive him)
so who has the characteristics of khawarij? those who attack and slander the muslims often and leave the kuffar alone and follow leaders who take the kuffar as their awliya or those who fight for islam and fight the kuffar and speak against them and try to help their brothers and sisters in islam?
I help out in my local mosque:?

regarding the women shot in the stadium that was filmed by RAWA, a kufr organisation trying to destroy shariah i might add. what was her crime?
she had slept with men for money, then when she feared her husband finding out about her lifestyle she murdered him, then tried to blame it on her daughter and would have seen her own daughter killed for this crime but instead she was found guilty herself and so executed.
I know that too..but killing her in front of her kids?..what do you think of that?
assalaamu alaykum,
May Allah swt guide you t follow them to go in the path of Allah, and may he grant us both the blessings of joining the caravan of martyrs, ameen.
assalaamu alaykum,
Agreed.
Then he needs to leave Darul kufr like the rest of us then doesn’t he? and not be supporting the Kuffar with his taxes and presence. To be honest the internet is full of refutations of muslims by this brother and replies to it, and where as I might agree with some of his work he seems to be a little too keen to be saying Bidah, shirk, Kuffar and kaffir at people without establishing the evidence and I am going to stay well clear for him, he is all too typical of a certain type of muslim who claims the salafi Manhaj but who’s Adhab is anything but, but Allahu Alim I am human and could be wrong also and I am certainly no scholar or even student of knowledge but I prefer to take my knowledge from other than this man.
I know some of his work, apparently not as much as you do, but what I had bolded, he did have a good point.
I know scholars and imams who has travelled those lands though not as Mujahadeen, only as visitors once the Taliban came to power. the scholars of the Mujahadeen have also affirmed through their personal contact the conduct of the Taliban and their strictness with the people of Bidah and shirk.
So do I...well my Father and Grandfather do.
Many of my friends have family both sides of the border and all speak highly of the Taliban. Do you know anyone who went there themselves and have genuine concerns regarding their conduct?
My Islamic teacher and the Mullah of my Masjid came from there (Afghanistan). Again the Intentions are not the concern, its the actions that many of them had used under the name of Shariah, that really is a concern. Because when you speak with some of them, most of the things that they had learned was out of mere recitation, now when say I this I'm not saying just 1 or 2 people.
Exactly, there is no such source from good practicing Muslims because it is not true and is a lie and a slander and you should know better than to repeat such from the open evil doers such as the Kuffar and not repeat their lies without verification as Muslims are commanded in the Quran by Allah swt.
Now when I had said this...
I believe there is an article here where an afghan made a claim that The Shariah was in direct with there culture. But it was from a non-muslim source.
I was not trying to use it as my jusitification as to why Shariah was being mixed in with Pashtun culture I've said it before that article came out. I know there is of no source, the source that I have are the testimonies from people who have been there. I've read the links that Islamicboy had given, the Deal UNOCAL, all of it.
And the article was for Afghans who wanted the Taliban back.
They’re leaders are Afghanis, but they studied in Islamic universities in NWFP not in India, but even if they did it would not make them upon their Aqeedah and Manhaj, the emphasis is upon the one making it to prove it not upon the one defending the honour of his brothers and sisters to disprove it. Do you not agree? Therefore prove your allegations or withdraw them.
I said they originated, I did not say that there were not leaders. I do not have his name right now, there is this one fellow from pakistan...but I will when I get home, I'm in school right now.
The Afghan-Pakistan border was drawn up by the British
I know, same thing that happened in Africa and The Middle Easter after WWI.
and is not accepted by the Muslims who live there as being valid, they all consider themselves muslims first,
Not too the ones that I've spoken too...Mainly it was there tribe first...
but even if all of them came from Pakistan then so what?
Why not help set up a complete Theocracy in Pakistan? I know there trying though.
Didn’t imam Shamil come from Uzbekistan even through his Jihad was fought in Chechnya?
I cannot comment on the situation in Chechnya as I am not really familiar with the situation except that Russians should leave and stop occupying the land for oil (all I can say is may Allah (swt) help the Muslims) nor can I google him for a quick reference. To make a quick discussion.
This was not a specific allegation at yourself, but only saying it is often those scholars who support the tyrant and apostate rulers and are found at their gates who make the allegation of those who fight for Islam as being khawarij, others who follow them follow them in making this allegation and yet they follow leaders and rulers who attack and kill the Muslims and leave the Kuffar alone which is also a attribute of khawarij Muslims.
If you makes you feel better I'm also not for the current administration either, People want a government in that region it should be done with the people in that region and not the help of foreign influence.
Therefore i would prefer to take my knowledge from salafi ulema who show more adhab and are not found at the gates of the rulers as we are warned against such scholars.
If it helps you sleep at night, then by all means:thumbs_up
ps.
finally brother, please remember your salaams, this is an islamic discussion board so we should keep to islamic adhab such as using salaams for each other, especially when they are given by someone else then you should respond.
My bad, most of the time that I am on here is while I'm in school either in between Instructional time or when my Professor is not looking:X :-[
assalaamu alaykum,
Abu Abdullah
assalam-u-alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhuassalaamu alaykum,
first of all where are your salaams? you are on an islamic message board so greet your brothers and sisters with good manners.
right, no i havent, but most of my friends are from one side or the other of the afghan border as the masjid i attend most is pathan.
i have also spoken to scholars who travelled there whilst it was under taliban rule and have researched the topic extensively rather than just qouting some anti articles, i have read both sides and you say yourself they were devients and yet have you been there? have you met them? have those who you qoute been there or met them?
assalaamu alaykum,
Abu Abdullah
