Are Taliban more barbaric than the Western forces?
FATIMA RIZVI
I’m a Pakistani
.
A pixilated and unclear video of a girl getting flogged by three bearded men, a supposed to be a spy / informer getting executed by men in black masks while hundreds of people watch, a reporter getting kidnapped and later beheaded, engineers from various parts of the world working in remote regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan getting abducted, sometimes for ransom, sometimes for world attention and sometimes to get captured comrades freed…
This is the world we live in and this is the world we see and hear on our televisions. Our minds are hammered with facts convincing us that Taliban are vicious barbarians out to kill anyone who comes in their way… Taliban are blood thirsty for all non-Muslims… Taliban will kill any Muslim who supports infidels!
Are Taliban not humans? Does Islam actually preach hate? Does Islam want Muslims to loot, plunder and destroy lives and property of others? Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) never preached anything like this. According to Islam, Jihad is an extremely systematic and civilized form of protest and war, where no unarmed civilian can be killed or assaulted. A civilian’s property cannot be rampaged or damaged. Non Muslims in Islam have freedom to practice their faith within an Islamic state. Women in Islam have always played important roles in decision making, actually fighting wars, in business and social sectors. Islam has never professed men to imprison women behind closed walls. Education (and modern education) is mandatory for all Muslims, men and women.
So who are these Taliban that the media is showing us all the time? They can’t be Muslims, because everything they are doing is un-Islamic, they are going against the teachings of the Holy Prophet (PHUH). Are they creations of anti-Muslim states? Have they been created to destabilize Muslims nations which want to stay moderate?
Now let’s examine some leaked evidence of what the western nations do in Muslim countries, particularly Iraq, Afghanistan and now Pakistan… People are arrested without evidence or proof. They are shifted to unknown locations, stripped of clothing and human dignity, beaten, sexually assaulted, forced to behave like animals, kept in severely harsh conditions, their faith insulted in the most horrific manner, Holy Quraan is trashed, flushed and kicked around. Men are tortured to the extent that hundreds have actually died of internal bleeding. For west stripping clothes off might not be a big thing, a western man would actually feel happy to go around naked on a beach or a park, they have created nudist areas for the very purpose. For the western people have casual sex is also not a big deal, going to the bar or a pub and finding a new sex partner is normal thing. Living together, accepting gay culture and disrespecting religion are all part of the new western society… again! This kind of social behavior to any sensible human being who has evolved, who has been educated, who has had exposure to religion and religious teaching would be very… barbaric!
