Rabbani Insists Taliban Should Renounce Violence
2011-03-02
[Tolo News] Head of the High Peace Council Burhanuddin Rabbani
... the legitimate president of Afghanistan...
said those who fight under the name of Taliban should renounce violence and accept the government's peace call.

Not just one time, I would call on the anti-government groups tens of times to join the grinding of the peace processor, Rabbani told a news conference.

The council has made very little efforts as part of peace efforts so far and we have some more plans on hand to make it up to our goals, Rabbani said.

"We peacefully call on those fighting under the name of Taliban to come and join the grinding of the peace processor. Even if they shut their doors on us, we would knock it again and again and we will repeatedly invite them for peace," Rabbani said.

At the conference Head of Afghan Clerics Council, slamming bad turban attacks, said suicide kabooms are totally against Islam.

"Afghan holy mans have constantly called on the cut-throats to stop violence. War is not the solution. Suicide attack is prohibited in Islam and we call on them to stop killing their own people," Head of Afghan Clerics Council Qeyamuddin Kashaf said.

"I also want to ask the US if it has come to Afghanistan to kill civilians, he continued, I urge them to stop searching Mohammedans' houses," he further said.

Afghan peace council sees cooperation of holy mans vital to bring peace in the country. The council is expected to send a representative to Organisation of the Islamic Conference in Jeddah.
