#2 The Taliban are also Salafi but follow Sayyid Jamāl al-Dīn al-Afghāni. He was a 19th century religious figure.

He advocated for what might be called a "Pashto-Islamic" religious State with a weak (to prevent corruption) secular government.

I don't know what saqib's views were.

"Yes?"

"Hi! Are you Sardar Wali Saqib, the prominent religious figure and leader of Salafi scholars?"

"Yep!"

"BANGETY BANG!!!"

"Rose...bud..." (THUD)

The end.

#6 This is actually what we call the Nangarhar Peer Review. 'Scholars' of splinter offshoots of the deoband school are called hanafi; the original Taliban were all deobandi hanafi. Salafi are what you get after the infusion of wahabi doctrine by mulla Omar and the likes. Decades ago, multiple factions splintered off, some toward traditional hanafi fiqh, and some toward wahhabism which we also call salafism. Because Omar, Bin Laden, all these bastards were using the global islamic eschaton as their motivational pep talk, which was created by Abd al Wahhab. The ghalba-e-islam [world conquest], taqiya, aligning with Marxists, etc to achieve dominance and ...whatever. This brought a salafist character to the Taliban. And they allowed it as long as Islamabad and AQ and all were happily united in throwing out the west.

It suits the interests of the Paki ISI to keep Afghans divided between the two moronic dogmas, because a United pashtun would become... troublesome. They're more or less the same, just some doctrinal differences. But in this realm, the influence over families, communities, able bodies is power. And power in the islamofascist world comes from doctrine and charisma. Now, the seat of doctrine, Afghanistan's version of Corinth or Alexandria if you will, is Gawd forsaken Nangarhar, where all these shitty scholars have their own sects and schools. And they have followers who are all armed and suicidal.

We believe, and we have good reason to, that the Taliban have been trying to resurrect the original puritan hanafi Islam and cull salafist influence because it brings with it the hand of the Jama'at e islami Pakistan. And they do this by first picking religious arguments with oval salafis, then gunning them down for being 'wrong'. This is called the Nangarhar Peer Review.

Other parties... ahem... have used it to good effect to hurt the 'Stain often. The Taliban have gladly shredded multiple congregations of salafis in Pak with nails and ball bearings because they believed the Jama'at was proselytising that side of the Durand line 😉. Trust me, that's a good thing. These people must remain stupid. So there.
