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:
