Assalaamu Alaykum Brothers and Sisters,
to the non-Muslims, peace be upon those who follow righteous guidence,
first of all i remember when these school burnings first started a few months ago and at the time the taliban condemning destroying schools for the sake of it though that does not mean they are not doing so now or would not do so under isolated circumstances.
2ndly there are many different groups in afghanistan, some islamic, some kinda-islamic, some nationalistic, some tribal and all fighting the occupiers and their apostate allies.
some of them support burning down schools to attack a visable symbol of their oppression and others support destroying certain schools if they are teaching things they see as unislamic, like darwinism or teaching secular democracy,
or because they are doing something islam disagrees with like teaching young men and young women together.
now destroying schools just for these reasons might seem barbaric and wrong in either case to some but examine the historical situation here. Afghanistan has a history of their oppressors, first the socialists and then the communists of the USSR setting up schools which aimed to indoctrinate their children against islam as a whole way of life,
later such children were intented by the communists and socialists to go university to be taught atheist docterine that religion was wrong full stop and taught marx not Muhammad (saws), Das Capital not the Quran and then take this back to their towns and villages and destroy islam this way.
Now the taliban set up many islamic schools, schools where islam is the first thing on the curriculum which is of-course correct in a muslim country that is trying to establish shariah.
some of these schools were good, some ok and some a little basic but they were in the middle of a terrible drought and some of the worse sanctions ever imposed on a country by the outside world.
when the US / UK and their apostate Allies came to power, many of these schools were closed for alledgedly formenting terrorism, many of the so-called taliban compounds bombed are actually islamic schools and the young bearded men who's corpses are paraded as taliban are quite often just religious students.
indeed taliban just means students in pushtu, talib meaning student, taliban meaning students so they are actually a movement of students and teachers so are hardly against education full-stop, just against the wrong sort of education.
there have also been a few reports from afghanistan of female teachers and female students at religious schools being taken away by american soldiers and never seen again, Allahu Alim what happened to them but you can imagine how the people in those areas feel is likely to have happened to these poor sisters?
now under such circumstances, it seems quite easy to see how people there given historical and present day problems with the forces of disbelief trying to force a disbelieving mindset up the muslims of afghanistan through mis-educating their children that they would try to fight this by attacking such schools and killing teachers who for a poor wage then go and sell their deen and teach disbelief to children.
for example, they might see a 2ndary school where young men and women are taught together and they know what will come from this, they hear they are taught secular ways of thinking and to reject islamic law and to want secular law and so they fight against it which is quite right and proper in an islamic country like afghanistan.
i think if anything the mujahadeen have been merciful to the disbelievers and their apostate allies. as far as i am aware no teacher has been attacked without being repeatedly warned, no mixed school, or school teaching secularism touched without first being told to close first.
this is a war not just of bodies but of minds and souls also, if the muslims won every battle but their children were at the same time raised to believe in the superiority of the western system over islam then in truth they have lost the war and they have lost their deen, islam.
the muslims of afghanistan understand this, thoughtful muslims around the world should understand this also and stop blindly accepting what the disbelievers want us to take as truth when it is only one side of the story.
non-muslims here should realise our deen (way of life) is islam, our loyalty is to Allah, our book is the Quran and our guide is Muhammad (saws).
you will not make us deviate from this, in fact we have every intention of turning as many of the people to this path as we can through kind words and beautiful preaching and presenting the truth of islam without compromise or distorting to please the disbelievers.
peace be upon those who follow righteous guidence,
Assalaamu alaykum,
