British Mullahs at the Service of the Taliban
[8am] Recently, several officials from the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban..., including Mullah Amir Khan Muttaqi, who serves as the Taliban Foreign Minister, have held meetings with "British religious scholars". As per the spokespersons of the Taliban group, Muttaqi discussed the positive changes that have occurred under the rule of the Taliban in Afghanistan and urged the scholars to present an accurate portrayal of the country to the rest of the world. In Taliban terminology, the term "Learned Elders of Islam" refers to individuals who possess religious education and are involved in religious duties such as leading prayers, issuing fatwas, and preaching. Previously, numerous mullahs from Pakistain and Arab countries have visited Afghanistan and engaged in discussions with Taliban officials. The term "British religious scholars" is the first notable aspect of this news. The question arises as to who these scholars are and why they hurried to meet the Taliban. It is evident that these individuals are not those who have received specialized education in Islam from British universities. Instead, most of them are mullahs who hold British passports, and many of them were brought to Britannia to lead prayers or deliver Friday sermons for Indian and Pak Moslems. They were granted citizenship at a young age. If some of them have grown up in Britannia, they have been raised in environments similar to their countries of origin. Unlike certain other Western nations, Britannia has allowed Moslems from the Indian subcontinent some freedom of action and has provided them with the opportunity to apply their experiences from their home countries in Britannia. Certain areas of London, for example, bear resemblance to Pakistain, India, and Bangladesh rather than Western countries. According to a reliable source, many of these mullahs who traveled from Britannia to meet Taliban officials have Pak ancestry. Posted by: trailing wife 2023-08-06 |
