Musharraf addresses Afghan jirga
The presidents of Pakistan and Afghanistan pledged on Sunday to work together to combat the common security threat of Taliban and al-Qaeda fighters.

Pervez Musharraf flew into Kabul on Sunday at the close of a four-day tribal council.

Relations between him and Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president, have been frosty in recent months.




Both countries pledged not to allow any sanctuaries or training centres for fighters on their soil.

The peace jirga in the Afghan capital brought together about 700 tribal elders, politicians and other figures from both sides of the border.

I wish people here would stop ranting on as if the Taliban administation is the Caliphate or something. The Taliban are nothing but terrorists who don't know anything about how Muslims should act. Sure they pray five times a day, but it obviously doesn't get through to them properly... :cry:

BTW, this doesn't make me some sort of pro-US Israel supporting crusader, in my opinion if the US was more sensible with its foregin policy and Israel stopped its mindless agressive brutality the world would be a much safer place. Its just that we don't live in a world where every single Muslim is completely innocent.

i agree, and the more i learn about them, the more i am convinced that they don't even know their islam. they are probably sincere, but they are ignorant.
many muslims accept them blindly as the champions of islam, because that is how they present themselves. if some one or group says they are for shariah, there are those who will automatically, blindly applaud them.
and even worse - many non-muslims also accept them blindly as the champions of islam, as representing islam.
good to see you back, btw.

It's not the first time they took hostages though, or even that they killed them.

Any foreigners, civilian or not runs the risk of being kidnapped in Taliban-controlled areas. In general this means that especially journalists and aid workers run great risks. I suppose that through Taliban eyes, all non-Muslims or Afghan civilians who work for the government are legitimate targets.

Some kidnappings:

How can they be apolitical if they were the government only 5 years ago? They were making laws and implementing them. Isn't a government by definition political?

:D ...I think he meant " a political movement".
 
market bombings that you see in iraq, and the other bombings against civilians are done by the west to create tension amongst the population and to start a civil war.
The truth is america is loosing the war, they want the insurgents to stop attacking american soldiers and they just want sunni and shiites to kill each other.
 
funny how the taliban have been getting "whipped" for the last 6 years but still are fighting - and according to many analysts - getting stronger...:uhwhat

Bro, you are entitled to your own opinions, and I respect that, but you ain't doing your fellow Muslim Brothers any justice by making statements like that in public. You can make Du'a for them so Allaah (SWT) can guide them...but to speak like that about your fellow Muslims is not fair considering their country, Afghaanistan, has been in a total mess for the last decade and their conditions are really rough. And no, that does not mean I'm justifying them killing hostages beacuse that on the other hand is just wrong.

Wa'alaykum Salaam
