Taliban govt in Afghanistan was un-Islamic: Darul Uloom Deoband
The Taliban government in Afghanistan was un-Islamic and the Taliban are not affiliated with the Darul Uloom Deoband, a private TV channel quoted Darul Uloom Deoband Rector Maulvi Salim Qasmi on Friday.
It only looked like they were...
According to the channel, the grandson of Maulvi Mohammad Qasim Nanotawi told British radio that the Taliban had less knowledge and more ignorance. "They [Taliban] have no affiliation with the Deoband school." He said that blowing up barbershops, educational institutions and shrines was un-Islamic. To a question about Maulana Fazlur Rehman, chief of his own faction of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam, Qasmi said, "Maulana is more a politician than a scholar."
No! Reeeeally?
