What do the Taliban believe in?

Answer 1

The Taliban was a Fundamentalist Islamic Regime.

As for their political views, below are two opinions on what the Taliban represent. Most Westerners and Muslims stand in opposition to the Taliban, but there is certainly a large minority of Muslims who endorse the vision of the Taliban.

Pro-Taliban Answer

Taliban believe in following Islamic Law which is the best way of living and gives equal opportunities to both Muslims and Non-Muslims.

Islamic laws, mostly interpreted negatively, are unparalleled by any other law ever formulated. Generally considered as inhumane punishments only, Islamic Laws, when implemented in the true sense, are only harsh for the wrongdoers. History has shown that with the proper implementation of Islamic Laws, crimes have substantially decreased.

Yes, there are a few people who are involved in thefts, ransom, killings and many other dreadful crimes and call themselves Taliban, however, they are not at all Talibans, rather they are agents hired by Indians, Israel, America, Russia and other anti Islamic Christian nations. They have been caught and have admitted of being paid by the above mentioned criminals who call themselves great democratic countries. Other proof of them being non-Muslims is that they are uncircumcised. For pictures of these people, you can contact me.

So, decide for yourselves, what Taliban believe in.

Anti-Taliban Answers

Answer 1

Utter nonsense. The Taliban are followers of the Wahhabi form of Sunni Islam. To say that the Taliban were tolerant of anyone is pure fiction. The Taliban had no tolerance for anyone other than fellow Wahhabi Muslims to include other Muslims. They not only endorsed but assisted Osama bin Laden in his war against the west and anyone not Wahhabi. Thousands of innocent Afghan men, women and children were slaughtered without cause, trial or defense by these butchers. Religion of peace is a nice slogan but the facts bear out differently. The Taliban banned just about everything in life that could bring happiness and joy including: anything made from human hair, satellite dishes, cinematography, any musical equipment, pool tables, chess, masks, alcohol, videotapes, computers, VCRs, television, any sexual products, wine, lobster, nail polish, firecrackers, statues, sewing catalogs, pictures, Christmas cards and more.

Answer 2

Further to the unqualified statements in the Pro-Taliban answer, some of the punishments imposed by the Taliban include cutting off limbs, decapitation and stoning for relatively minor offenses, forms of torture to reform behavior, and numerous other actions in contravention to International Law and Human Rights. Most Westerners believe that these actions are unjust, even if the person is 100% guilty of the crime, since there is an inherent dignity in being human which is not compromised by guilt. As to the "proof" that all Taliban caught of vicious crimes against the Afghan and Pakistani citizenry, their property, and their livelihoods are not "real Taliban" but imposters, there is no grounding to this assertion. Even if such individuals have disavowed their connection to the Taliban, this could be under duress (since many are tortured to achieve this confession) or their desire not to "slander" the Taliban. The Taliban videoed many of their Human Rights abuses specifically because they were proud of their depravity.

This is not to say that Shari'a Law if implemented properly could not be the highest quality of law, securing human and property rights. The problem is that nobody seems to know what this "proper" implementation looks like or if they believe that they do, they are immediately contested by individuals with a more liberal or conservative view. Issues of contention are not trivial banalities, such as freedom of speech, equality vs. apartheid, freedom of association, taxing by wealth or taxing by ethnicity/religion, etc.

Answer 2

Talibans are Islamic and if seen following other religions there will be consequences!

Answer 3

They are Fundamentalist Muslims.
