Understanding the war in Afghanistan

[جوري]

what makes a land important?

In the midst of all that you've stumbled upon the exclamatory point.. once you understand outside interest in that region from the times of Alex the great to mongols to Brits to soviets to Americans can everything else fall into place for you. Stability should never be the objective of people subjugated and for centuries or rather I should say attempts of subjugation since Afghanistan truly is the grave yard of empires!

best,

well i guess its just a means to an end. if not war then genocide right?

what i meant about stability for people is removal of division, fear of allah swt rather than poverty. real understanding of what we are put in this place to do or more importantly being able to individually draw a line in the sand on each and every point of life.. and having a sound criterion for making those decisions.

if you carry on from yesterday than its very hard to admit mistakes and make amends.

the worst thing we can do is to think our decisions are always right, loss of hawf and humily follow.
but allah swt has no need of us and there is always somebody to correct our mistakes.

lol stumbling till i fall hopefully.

We talk of the Taliban from a western perspective no? we can neither judge their religiosity nor question what they think is best for their country. Obviously a greedy corporate Satan like American and its poodles isn't the go to for morality reference if for nothing else at all given their disgusting history.

thats the point though, why should you not question those that are effectively the management?
i believe that questioning brings the best out of people.. when it is missing complacency replaces diligence.

its the same in the mosques
its the same in government

when the people have no voice then there is either direction or misdirection, when there is no understanding in the people then it does not matter if they speak or do not.
everybody has an opinion, what you represent when you talk, your interests at heart.. i would like to think those are the things that you pass on to people willing to listen.

but you have to understand, making a fresh start is easier if you have not seen the path.. if you have wandered off then circumstance, fate...god may not make it easy.

this is why the "western muslims" are so lucky, we can still take a step back. im not judging the taliban, they are fighting for what we believe in.. but do not think that any muslim represents islam any less just because he or she is not physically at war.

what you can achieve or hope to achieve is with you, what you ultimately achieve is with allah swt.

why wait for judgement day to fear allah swt?
i know i have fear of allah swt today, if you like anything i have then take it.. better if it is my islam then my personal property.

in other words,
if people like who you are and what you represent, then dahwah becomes easier.

if you like money you will follow those that follow money.

if you like knowledge you will follow those that have/claim to have/follow knowledge.

but rich men can still be poor and those with knowledge can be even poorer still, you have to define rich and poor.

morality is the same, what we hold as our morals and what becomes of them is ultimately with allah swt.
ultimately you, i, america and the taliban are under allah swt.. no matter if our ego's and numbers would suggest otherwise.

we all just go on day after day until we die, but do not be unmindful of those that cross our paths.
