The Taliban are not exactly "perfect Muslims". They do have a lot of good qualities in some aspects of their lifestyles, but they also do a lot of stupid stuff that has no basis in Islam and is nothing more than passed down traditions. Not educating their women and mandating niqab for example.


You can just imagine what Taliban TV would be like... but seriuosly though, Islam urges good manners in all that you do, so Islam itself is big on Public Relations. I guess this is another example of them not behaving very Islamically.


I highly disagree. You can't kill someone for their beliefs -- but for their actions. I don't think you'll find another Muslim on this board that will disagree with that.

problem is that they present themselves as The Upholders of Islam and they are accepted as such by non-muslims. also many muslims (here,too) blindly accept them at face value and defend everything they do, in the belief that they are following islam. they are regarded as above criticism. i don't question their sincerity, but i do question their knowledge.
more statements like the one you presented from the IIF are needed, but of course they will never get the media coverage that they should. beheadings are so much more fun and so much more picturesque than a group of scholars!
now taleban TV - that is something to ponder! :giggling: :giggling:

Very good points, snakelegs.
 
I read today that a Taliban spokesman hinted that two of the hostage would be released. I suppose that is a good start, I just pray that all of the survivors make it home.
 
Yeah, they've been saying that for a couple of days now...dunno if they released anyone yet though.
 
if the afghan govt, and the south korean govt were so bothered about the hostages they would simply release taliban prisoners. Its a simple solution.

Ehm, no. That'll just mean there will be more hostage crises in the future. Giving in to hostage takers demands makes such criminal activities more rewarding and thus more likely to happen again.

<sarcasm>
I have a solution though! Why doesn't the South Korean government take some random Afghans as hostage and do an exchange then. I'm sure they can find some convenient Afghan family somewhere in Seoul. If not they can just kidnap them in Afghanistan somewhere I suppose.

why should korea take afghans who are already in their own country?...Taliban took koreans who were in afghanistan. They never flew to korea and took them.

And if an exchange took place then how about all the foreigners leave afghanistan so the taliban have no foreigners to kidnap ? then the problem will be sorted.

roaming gangs?....you mean the coalition troops are the only roaming gangs.
Release taliban prisoners, then korean hostages will be freed. then to avoid a spate of forein kidnapping all foreigners should leave. Then no one the taliban can kidnap. :)
 
Right! Roaming gangs. Nothing but criminals who protect criminals. Local terrorists that protect international terrorists.
 
taliban did not protect OBL.

they told the USA, give us proof bin laden was reponsible for 9/11 and we will hand him over. no proof was given so they let him stay. everyone knows 9/11 was an inside job
