Afghanistan
Religious Scholars Term Taliban Acts Un-Islamic
2015-10-16
[Tolo News] At a gathering in Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
on Wednesday, a number of religious scholars stated the Taliban's acts over the past few years are against the teachings of Islam.

The religious scholars said the Taliban -- who they say take orders from Pakistain's Inter-Services Intelligence
...the Pak military intelligence agency that controls the military -- heads of ISI typically get promoted into the Chief of Army Staff position. It serves as a general command center for favored turban groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad, tries to influence the politix of neighboring countries, and carries out a (usually) low-level war against India in Kashmir...
(ISI) - kill government forces, civilians and children. The holy mans said these acts are not acceptable.

Condemning the acts of the Taliban, the holy mans called upon the people of Afghanistan to unite against insurgency.

The religious scholars meanwhile praised the performance of Afghan cops, and said they themselves support the Afghan troops wherever they are serving in the line of duty.

Condemning Taliban's acts, Haqqani, a religious scholar, said: "Taliban, after taking orders from ISI, term the killing of civilians and even children as legal."

"The Talibs receive weapons from this organization [Pakistain's ISI] and are trained and financed by this agency," he added.

However,
there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened...
one of the primary calls by the holy mans on Wednesday was to the nation -- calling on them to unite against faceless myrmidons and plots by enemy and to stand by the government and security forces.
