Re: We are a nation of cowards.
Sharia Law as interpreted by Taliban types is barbaric, grotesque and has no place in civil society. Cant the classical scholars articulate that point?
For whatever reason, the more urbanised Islamist movements (like the Jamaat i islam) is also pandering to the Taliban and acting as apologists.
Either they are in denial, or they hope to somehow ride that wave to power.
Our Jamaat-i-Islaam overlook the fact that in Afghanistan the Taliban were at war with Afghanistan's Jamaat-i-Islaam, also a Maududist movement and part of the Northern Alliance.
