Salamu alaikum.
Recently there has been a series of suicide attacks done by the Tehrik e Taliban Pakistan. These acts are condemned since muslims died in the attack. Regarding the suicide bombing issue, some scholars say its haraam, and some scholars say its allowed as the last solution. With regars to the afghan taliban, they may to some things wrong, but remember at the end of the day we want an islamic afghan state, not a democratic afghan state.
So we must remember that eventhough the taliban can do wrong things, they are the only ones at the moment trying to establish an islamic state.
The Afghan Taliban even though have been resorting to suicide bombings in the last couple of years, have come to realize that suicide bombings do damage the enemy, however takes many lives of the innocent.... such thinking on the part of Afghan Taliban to change their way, has made them even more popular, because at 1st they were resisting occupational forces, now because of the change in their strategy has made, them more acceptable to the public.... before Taliban fighters were not friendly, with the population of Afghanistan, but now they have even changed that and are told by their elders, to follow the teachings of Islam, and deal with the population with good manners and good behavior. The Taliban have also admitted their mistake of letting foreigners built camps inside Afghanistan, in the name of Jihad, who had run away from neighboring countries like Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Iran and China, thus making them even more unpopular in the sight of the regional countries. There is an article i had read by
Suhail Shaheen in Kabul Times who said the following..
Recently the Taliban have become more watchful of the foreign Jihadists in Afghanistan. They require foreign militants to work the under supervision of the Taliban provincial commanders. Foreign militant are now not allowed, like before, to carry out their activities independently.
The Taliban say that the previous rules for foreign jihadists were problematic for the Taliban, because some of their activities contradicted the Taliban's policies and goals. Last year, Mullah Muhammad Omar, issued instructions to his supporters in Afghanistan to disarm all anti-government armed groups who were not registered with Taliban. This step was taken after reports that some militant groups, posing as Taliban, were involved in kidnapping and extorting money from people.
In his new message, Mullah Omar stressed out that: "Mujahideen should stop all those who, under the name of Mujahideen, want to encroach on the property, life and honor of people by provocation of the enemy and they should impart Islamic education to people."
[FONT="]As the new rules point out, foreign militants have to share their information with local Taliban commanders and disclose all their activities. [/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT] [FONT="]The other aspect of the Taliban's new policy is focusing on winning the hearts and minds of common Afghans. The Taliban expedited their contacts with the common people in rural areas after announcement of new strategy by Pentagon to win over the Afghans. In a part of the Eid's message, Mullah Omar says: "The Mujahideen should not consider themselves as an entity separate from people. They should protect people’s property, life and honor and should focus on Islamic education of masses."[/FONT]

So these changes and their way of dealing with Afghanis and US and Allie's failure to deliver to Afghanistan what they promised, and the resistance of Taliban, is making them more popular since Attack on Afghan after 9/11.... the majority of Afghanistan were never against Taliban from beginning...
Thereek E Taliban, are in Pakistan and not in Afghanistan.... and many among the fighters are sent in to Pakistan to engage Pak army in a battle so Pak would become weak and easy for India to take over... they have been caught with Indian , German and American made weapons ... however God knows best, because Pak Army has also been invovled in killing many innocents in the air strikes done in those areas, and so every action has a reaction and some are there to exploit the situation for their own benefit...
