My point was not that the Taleban are murderers but that they maintain that they are [b]not[/b] murderers and that what they do is islamically justified and that the people claiming to be muslims who criticise them have in fact abandoned islam. In short, can they claim do be orthodox muslims or have they introduced a false interpretation of islam?

“What about muslim axemurderers who claim that they arenâ€™t axe murderers but obeying the dictates of islam?”

they are deluded but still Muslims

The point fug was making is that in Orthodox Islam commiting even a grave sin such as murder doesnt make you a non-Muslim (im not aware of any religion where murder is considered apostasy eg a person is beyond hope) this applies not just to the murderer but to those who commit lesser major sins such as the alcoholic or the fornicator

My brother what ever u said was your own interpretation . Brother if u really go in depth n look this war is not against those Talibans its against the people of swat . 2000 Talibans were might be present for them 40 lakh peoples life , property , carrers were brutally perished. Have u ever scence India doing such an operation in Kashmir where we all know Jihadis are present , but a country know if they start a war on their own land it will hit its own people , but pakistan govt never think ov anything lyke diz. N the operation is now extending to other parts of pakistan. I just ask u one question before 9/11 these talibans n Afghanistan state was Pakistan most brotherhood ,, we didnt even needed army for borders,, now what injection has been given to those muslims who have turned agaisnt

Erm, I don’t think that the HT are aware (or even care) that the Taliban et al are not exactly liked here in PK…

And Fug? What are you on?

^^^ Well said Roger. HT’s should grow a pair and go defend their brothers. It’s win-win, either they’ll realise the truth and come back changed men, or they’ll face the wrath of the Pakistan army, which is quite ruthless when it needs to be.

Or perhaps you think every terrorist is your brother too fug?

I don’t need a “whiteness exam”. You need a mental exam

and you are in a position to adjudicate? or do you wish you were in the brothers subset? (muslim axemurderers are still muslims, we dont do that excommunication thing)

seriously you should have a whiteness exam.
