World rejects India's Taliban stand
ASAK
I never understood why the Muslim countries neighouring Afghanistan allow India to interfere in Afghsanistan. The Hindu lobby in India has very skilfully created friction between Iran and Pakistan with Afghanistan. India is said to have 14 consulates in Afghanistan. Muslim countries have money, knowhow and relationship with Western countries to solve the problems of Afghanistan. When the Soviets occupied Afghanistan for 10 years (1979-89) and brutalized the country, India kept quiet, not once protesting.
Today the West and the whole world is rightly acknowledging that there are two factions in Taliban; one that represents the Afghan nationalism and the other that are radical Muslims. The first type are not for the obscurantism that we saw during the erstwhile Taliban rule. The West is also realizing that the Muslim culture in Afghanistan is their basic way of life and Islamic civilization is their lifeblood. The West can never import westernization and permissive way of life in Afghasanistan. Hillary Clinton has made a categorical statement to that effect.
How can the Muslim brothers in Iran, Pakistan and Tajikistan be divided from their fellow brothers in Islam in Afghanistan? How can the Muslim ummah be divided by the idol worshippers? It was the folly of these Muslim countries that they allowed the munafiqeen to divide them and then betray each of them. I Hope this time they are able to pursuade Taliban that there is no future in obscurantism and that in fact that is a contradiction of Islam.
