Are the Taliban true mujaahideen or are they too like the deviate Salafis?

Answer

We have always been the supporters of the Taliban, and we still are and we make dua for their success and hidaayat. However, it appears that they are becoming diverted from the Straight path. They lack proper Ilm and Taqwa. In Taqwa they are very deficient.

They have acquired the so-called 'martyrdom' operation tactic from the deviant Salafis. We are not in agreement with this method. The evils of photography and videography have also been acquired from the Salafis. They are very much concerned about world opinion, hence they devote so much effort and time on publicity and propaganda whereas such time wasted should be devoted to ibaadat – ibaadat which is scarce in their ranks. The success of the Muslims is not in internet publicity stunts. It is on the battlefield of Jihad.

Despite having been in the Jihad for 14 years, they have not gained a decisive victory over the enemy. This is because the required degree of Nusrat (Allah's Help) has not come to them. Allah Ta'ala is sustaining them, and allowing them to fight and not to be destroyed. Nevertheless, the degree of Nusrat necessary for routing and defeating the enemy has been denied to them. On the whole, they are true Mujaahideen, unlike the Salafis in the Middle East who have no Deeni direction. They are cogs in the western conspiratorial machine. May Allah Ta'ala have mercy on this fallen Ummat.
