Every Muslim in Britain is celebrating his return to power Taliban In Afghanistan. This is what Khola Hassan of the Islamic Sharia Council suggested. BBC Radio 4 over the weekend.
While she was speaking, thousands of Afghans were still trying to flee the country. People were being crushed and crushed in the stampede that took place in the flight out of Kabul airport.
For Ms Hassan to announce that Muslims in Britain are united to welcome this seizure of power by religious fundamentalists, and the resulting anarchy, is obscene and an insult to the British Muslim community. It is insulting, a derision and a sign of how pathetically ignorant she is.
But it is unforgivable for the BBC to give them a platform to broadcast their doctrinal lies, without demolishing them without the real facts.
Nonsense
The broadcaster has failed in its duty to address the news fairly. Instead, the BBC was afraid to refute Ms Hassan, simply because she is a Muslim woman and should therefore be allowed to do whatever nonsense she liked without fear of contradiction.
“Every single person I know is a Muslim,” she said at Sunday’s program presented by William Crowley, “whether on social media, I don’t know them personally, but I know them on social media or with friends.” I am celebrating. And saying, ‘Give them a chance’.

I heard that unrestrained trip, I wish the BBC still employed harsh journalists instead of ‘vocalizing’ who are afraid to question anything for fear of being sexist or racist.
The show featured filmmaker Diana Saqeb Jamal, a courageous campaigner for Afghan women’s rights, who dismissed Hassan’s claims as “crazy”.
But Ms Hassan ignored them, and was allowed the last word. He was also allowed to claim that the oppression of women in France was worse than in Afghanistan, and that negative accounts of life under the Taliban were all lies: ‘Western media likes to misrepresent Muslims.’
So let me pronounce it. I haven’t met a single person in Britain who welcomes the return of the Taliban, not online, in a mosque or anywhere else.
British Muslims are sickened by the horrific news emanating from Kabul, and deeply distressed by the prospects for the common people in Afghanistan, especially women and girls.

The surrender of Kabul to the Taliban is not only an effective end to the Anglo-US occupation, but also the resumption of religious tyranny.
The retaliatory campaign launched by Tony Blair and George Bush to avenge 9/11 has failed miserably after 20 years of nation building.
Only in the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia are Afghanistan and other extremist jihadist groups the new hardline masters.
It’s a shame for a confused Khola Hasan to appreciate it. In fact, what the Taliban stands for is a clear violation of the Quran and a betrayal of authentic Islam.
Ms. Hassan and the Islamic Sharia Council (ISC) operate in a religious bubble. The ISC is self-appointed, founded by his father Sheikh Suhaib Hasan in 1982 to promote Sharia law in the UK.
For readers who may not be Islamic scholars, a quick summary: Muslims follow the teachings of the Quran, the Bible of Islam, the teachings that were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad by the angel Gabriel between 610-632 CE.

Evacuations in Afghanistan have been ongoing since the Taliban took control of the country on August 13, when US troops were withdrawn from the country.
But in later centuries, hundreds of thousands of snippets and quotes attributed to the Prophet were collected into manufactured volumes known as hadith.
Many of these alleged sayings are apocryphal and were invented to support patriarchal, tribal and sexist societies while taking away the rights of women and religious minorities. These dubious reports became a handbook for ideological intolerance and authoritarian rule.
All of the abhorrent aspects of populist Islam, from its insistence that women be covered from head to toe, violent jihad and brutal traditional punishment for same-sex sex, stem from hadith.
Hadith is not Quran. Both night and day are the same: quite the opposite.
Furthermore, the ISC supports its narrow and fanatical interpretation of Sharia law and possible fatwas.

Everyone who remembers how Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini executed novelist Salman Rushdie knows what the fatwa means, but few understand that it only represents a cleric’s personal opinion. Is. These are clearly not divine orders.
As a Muslim scholar, I regard hadith, sharia law, and fatwas as a poisonous trio. But they are the cornerstone of not only Taliban theology and thinking, but also of the voluntary Islamic organizations Ms. Hassan is a part of.
Satan
Understand this, and you realize how cruel it is to say that ‘all British Muslims celebrate the resurrection of the Taliban’. Only religious extremists and Shariat extremists welcomed the Taliban coming to power.
This is a blatant insult to the entire British Muslim community, and one that makes me deeply saddened and humiliated.
I am surprised that the BBC should have broadcast Khola Hassan’s words without explaining how wrong and wicked they are, or that there is a local expert who is there to balance and counter his blatant claims.
The full extent of the lie will soon become clear to Ms. Hassan as well. The Taliban have one supreme goal: to recreate a mythical 7th-century idealized desert utopia – albeit with online social media, which they find convenient for promoting their harmful sectarianism.

No one can bring back the past, but the Taliban will attempt to subject women, minorities and other religious opponents to ruthless persecution in Afghanistan.
All the hard-to-find liberties of the last 20 years that Allied soldiers made so many sacrifices to establish will be wiped out. There would be no custody rights for women in fractured families, no divorce, no freedom for girls to refuse a husband – even one who is much older and already married to many other women. be married
Girls will have no legal right to be educated and reach their full potential.
At a news conference last week, Taliban spokesmen claimed that women would have equal rights. If you’re tempted to believe it, ask yourself why there were no women at that apparently historic press conference table.

Ms Hassan claimed on Radio 4, ‘The problem is we don’t give them a chance.
‘The kind of language that came out of the western media when the Taliban took power… civil war, monsters, they’re going to kill people, it’s going to be terrible, poor women, oh blah blah blah, we’re going to go to our eyes To cry, poor women going back to medieval times.
‘It has been misrepresented for so long that I have become used to it; I don’t even blink an eye now.

Ms Hassan complained that France is the real enemy of Muslims, as women are not allowed to wear certain dresses on the beach or the hijab headscarf in public buildings.
If the situation in Kabul had not been so sad, such nonsense would have been ridiculous.
He said, ‘Twenty years is a long time. ‘We have matured, I hope, all of us. We have developed our thinking and I hope the same will happen with the Taliban. The Taliban have grown up.
In the next weeks and months, we will see how big and mature the Taliban is.
The only change I can see in two decades is the development of a sophisticated Jekyll-and-Hyde dual personality that will say one thing and do another.
Afghanistan’s Taliban dictators may have learned to disguise a monster. But behind their vulnerable side, the brutal reality remains as frightening as ever.
