Right except this wont happen as long as even “progressive” religious scholars in the US are making excuses for the Taliban. When the Peshawar attack happened, I read at least ONE scholar who is popular with the youth (as in a celebrity type maulvi) reminding people that “Well, the taliban’s kids have died too, so this is what happens when we attack them”.

I mean when you make excuses for these attacks or try to create sympathy in any group, then your followers may very well flock to rescue that group out of sympathy. That means, they’ll go join these jihadi groups.

Just look on facebook on the public comments under these celebrity american mullahs’ postings, and you’ll see what a terrorist mindset some people have. There are a lot of young guys - AMERICAN MUSLIMS - chanting anti-west, anti-american statements, and pro-extremist statements.

It’s really sad. I have yet to see a maulvi say “Taliban are haraam, and to join them, you’re commiting yourself to hell”.

Not many have said it.

but that is exactly what is to be said and not by one few or many maulvis - it needs to be said by an overwhelming majority of those seen as religious and community leaders in unison. Without that the religion is lost to the terrorists.

it is a tall order. I wonder if peaceful muslims bother to use social media and comm a tenth as effectively as the jihadi nuts seem to
