Afghanistan, tolerance not a distorted reading of Islam

THE trending question today is no longer “Will the Taliban rule Afghanistan in accordance with the established humanitarian teachings that Almighty Allah sent His Noble Messenger (PBUH) to guide people to it?”

Will this movement restore that state, which is exhausted from the wars that lasted half a century after being a haven for terrorists with their origins and branches like Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and other groups that the world is fighting against?

Here is where the international community meet, especially since the neighboring countries have varied cultural and religious nature compared to the Taliban before 2001. They are not ready to open the doors of terrorism to them – neither Russia, which experienced Afghan violence during its invasion of Afghanistan, nor China, the second neighbor, nor Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran or Pakistan. Each of them have their own concerns and problems, and they definitely have no room or appetite for new concerns.

Far from this geographically imprisoned country, the international coalition that fought for 20 years to neutralize the terrorist threat, especially after September 11, 2001, will not accept the reemergence of the same danger, not only at the military level, but also at the level of drug terrorism that Afghanistan has turned into after being the largest exporter of drugs in the last four decades.

Undoubtedly, the Taliban leaders must realize these facts and act in accordance with the requirements of international conventions in this regard. They must read the Iranian scene very carefully, so as not to fall into the sin that the Mullahs regime pushed 80 million Iranians into for the latter to become outcasts in the world and suffer the bitterness of the economic and financial blockade, while their regime spends about $200 billion on a fake project to rule the region and turn it into sectarian farms mired in sectarian strife.

They also have to realize that the rule of the world will not be from the caves of Tora Bora, or the tunnels of Kandahar. They rule by what Almighty Allah has commanded if they seek to show the true face of Islam based on the noble verse – “O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you … ”

To know nations necessitates tolerance and correct human relations, not murder and sabotage.

For the Taliban to be able to build a healthy state, it needs to exit from the tunnels and caves of the distorted reading of Islamic teachings. It should have the inclination to make peace with its neighbors and the world. Most importantly, it should devote itself to developing its people in accordance with what is prevalent throughout the world, especially since Afghanistan is floating on a sea of precious metals that make it one of the richest countries.

All this can happen if the Taliban leaders realized that what happened in 2001 is no longer permissible under any circumstances.
