[quote]salaam alaikum, Most of us believe Taliban did good and were sincere. It may be true in the beginning, but what happened towards the end? Read these comments from news stories, if you are not convinced, then you can do your own research on what Taliban did to the Panjshir valley. We blame the West for bombing our people and cities. Well, they would not do that if we don't support people who misrepresent Islam, if we prevent corrupt politicians from ruling us, if we strive for ourselves. Since we are lazy and do not bother to check our leaders and do not tolerate people who criticise, we end up with bad leaders. Then, as Allah (swt) says He will replace a nation with a better one, so our nations are wiped out by invaders. It keeps happening, happened in Bosnia and we did nothing, happened in Chechnya and the Islamic jihadists start terrorism there, happened in Afghanistan and we still support the mullahs, and now in Iraq, and we are as confused as ever. May Allah guide us! ... http://hrw.org/english/docs/2001/12/03/afghan3396.htm Mullah Fazil had overall operational command, and specific sectoral responsibilities, during a Taliban offensive that led to the recapture of Khwagaghar town in Takhar province and surrounding areas in January 2001. Over thirty civilians were detained and summarily executed during this operation, while at least forty-five others were detained and transferred to a jail in Kunduz. Numerous witnesses have also testified that Fazil visited Yakaolang district, as commander-in-chief, during a January 2001 massacre of over 170 ethnic Hazara civilians. The Yakaolang victims had been detained by Taliban forces and then executed by firing squad in public view. Mullah Dadaullah commanded Taliban forces that carried out a scorched earth policy in Yakaolang district, in the mainly Shi'a Muslim Hazarajat region, in June 2001. After briefly recapturing Yakaolang, Dadaullah's forces burned down over 4,000 homes, shops, and public buildings in the district. His forces continued their scorched earth policy as they retreated east, destroying entire towns and villages in the western part of Bamiyan province. Most of the civilian population in western Bamiyan fled the Taliban advance, but those who remained behind, as well as some who had encamped in the hills, were summarily executed. The Taliban's official Bakhtar Information Agency confirmed Dadaullah's responsibility for the military operations in the area. Dadaullah is also reportedly responsible for the massacre of Shi'a Muslims in Syedabad, in Mazar-I Sharif, in 1998. Mawlawi Nurullah Nuri, the former governor of Balkh province - in which the city of Mazar-i Sharif is located - was military commander of the northern zone under the Taliban. He could be implicated in the reported summary executions of ethnic Uzbek civilians in Balkh in May 2001, and in a massacre of civilian prisoners that took place at Robatak Pass, on the border of Samangan and Baghlan provinces, in May 2000. ... http://www.afgha.com/?af=archive&op=viewarticle&artid=5623 ...During its two-week occupation of Khawaja Ghar, a town of 25,000, the Taliban scorched homes, looted businesses and destroyed remaining food stocks. "We were surprised," said one man whose mechanic's shop was destroyed. "Last year when they overran the town, they didn't burn everything." ... http://www.guardian.co.uk/waronterror/story/0,1361,596413,00.html The vines were dead, like most of the vines in the southern Shomali, killed by the Taliban when they cut off their irrigation. Beyond the dead vines were layers of devastation stretching to the foot of the mountains which ring the Shomali plain: rank on rank of broken walls, tens of thousands of houses, deliberately destroyed by the Taliban. .. "First they burned our house, then they shot at it with cannon," Mr Karim said. "Then they used a bulldozer to raze it to the ground. Then they blew up the wells." .. "Everything you see here was done by the Taliban. They even took women prisoner and took them away," said Moel, a villager who returned the day the Taliban left. "They burned all our homes." Most of the villagers are still in refugee camps in Anabe in the Panjshir valley, living under canvas on a bare slope of dust and scree. Only last month a baby died of malnutrition in an Anabe camp because the family shared a food package given by an aid agency for the child alone.[/quote]
