These people have made it pretty clear what they think of “mainstream” Islam. Furthermore, they are just people who have taken up arms. The laws of that land, the right to educate women, should be up to the government of Pakistan to decide, not men with AK-47s. Unless you think the media is lying about every Taliban attack, I think it’s pretty easy to understand what they stand for.

We have to deal with them yes, and part of that involves negotiation, but let’s not pretend that we’re dealing with a legitimate government. That’s the main issue here. We’re dealing with terrorists, who do not care for religious logic. Their sympathizers would stop sheltering them if our own government actually cared to deal with the problem. We shouldn’t be turning to America, nor should we be honouring the Taliban, we should be putting pressure on our politicians to deal with this problem.

I’m not saying we should use logic with the Taliban … But we should conclude that it is logical for us to deal with the Taliban with a bit more compassion … That is the only thing that will stop them killing innocents.

Regarding the rights of women to be educated … Well what is their stance on that? And is it really about education or is it about their need to spend funds in a different way? What is their argument? Are we even prepared to listen to it … Or have these latest events made us immune to any thing the Taliban now say even to the extent of closing our own minds to the possibility that they have some humanity left in them …
