The Divine Right To Murder
The Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan reveal themselves as fighters for Islamic justice and principles and values. They are in their element, this is their geography, and they fight to uproot the crusading Godless marauders from their homeland. They espouse the goodness of Islam, the rigidly-observed principles of Islam as set down in the Koran and it is their intent to continue ruling the area with their interpretation of tyrannical Sharia law.Tyrannical only to those who cannot fathom the ways of Islam, and the just demands for submission that the holy scriptures demand from the faithful. Life is what it is. And if freedoms are seen to be lacking under Sharia law as administered by the Taliban that simply is what life under the mullahs is construed to be. The faithful must adhere to scriptural tenets that are not to be questioned; every moment of every waking day must be consecrated to Allah.
This is the archaic Islam of its dim tribal initiations one and a half millennia ago, and it is the current presentation of Islamist precepts. Education for women and children is an insult to their tradition and culture. Beardless faces represent an underhanded assault on Islamic purity, the sign of an idolater. Dancing and music are reprehensible in that joy and freedom are not recognized as elements of acceptable traditional practise.
Those who hold that Islam respects life, and enjoins Muslims not to take the lives of other human beings incorrectly translate scripture, they are pseudo-Muslims, an affront to the Faith. Foreigners and those who seek to support them earn death. Foreigners who have committed themselves to the altruistic work of supporting the indigent, the frail, the physically impaired are likewise targeted for death. Their arrogance in uprooting tradition earns them death.
Warriors of jihad are mindful of their duty to Islam. There is nothing contemptible about the assassination of women, of teachers, of children; the destruction of schools and health clinics. This is a battle joined to elevate Allah in the minds and hearts of the people. Their sacrifice in life lost is due measure for subverting Islamic values and adopting corrupted Western cultural traditions.
The targeted assassinations of Afghan Cabinet ministers, of Afghan police, and militia; a senior policewoman whose task it was to protect Afghan women and children; of international aid workers may be seen as despicable in the opinion of the world looking in, but it represents a just dessert in the opinion of a Taliban militia looking toward their future re-investment in administration of the country.
Western values are not Islamic values. All those who support the work of the foreign occupying forces doom themselves to an inglorious death. Just as Western, NATO ISAF forces hunt down the Taliban militia, bomb their mountain aeyries, so too does the righteous Taliban hunt down the intruders in Muslim lands. Freedom to go the way of Western countries will not be accepted or tolerated as an option.
Human desolation appeals enormously to Muslim Islamist sensibilities.
