‘They are not terrorists,’ Islamoleftist cabal in India bats for acceptance of Taliban

The Islamoleftist cabal of the country has completely lost the plot after the Taliban captured the capital city of Kabul and in turn the country. While some are gleeful, openly cheering for the terrorist outfit, other useful idiots in India are busy legitimizing and humanising them. However, a fatal concoction of the two is the propaganda portal The Wire and its ‘journalist’ Aarfa Khanum Sherwani.

She took to Twitter to share an interview with one Ghazala Wahab where the two super intellectuals wantonly gelled over the semantics of insurgent and terrorist, whilst ultimately concluding that Taliban should be called as insurgents since, it is good for the optics, sound toned down, and helps create a pitch for the Taliban, to be sold as an alternative amongst the extremists here in India.

Assuming that Wahab considers herself a feminist, her statement is quoted closely for the readers to infer their observations, “I call them (Taliban) insurgents, because while they use the help of terrorists towards upturning governments…just because they are spreading terror and oppressing women, to say they do not have stakes in the area is foolish.”

For Wahab, it is no biggie that women are mutilated, raped, stoned to death, kept in inhumane conditions under the Taliban rule. It’s also no biggie that the Taliban upturns governments by using lethal force and medieval era barbarity. She further provides reasoning to her claims by stating, “The Taliban is Pashtun Afghani, they are residents…you cannot throw them out for being cruel and primitive.”

Cruel and primitive were the cavemen. There is a reason why society evolved to become sophisticated, civil and advanced. Such tone-deaf reasoning’s to legitimize the Taliban can even rival the mumble-jumble espoused by the Taliban spokesperson across TV platforms. If a ‘moderate’ Taliban as being told by the liberal media does intend to tone down its adherence to the Sharia law, it should hire Aarfa Khanum Sherwani and Ghazala Wahab as their first female workers. 

For Arfa, the villains for the chaos in Afghanistan are the Sanghis. It is imperative to note that she still hasn’t blamed the Taliban for the condition of ordinary Afghans. 

While Arfa and Wahab are the lead sepoys for the Taliban, the other Islamists across the country are also salivating at the prospect of the Taliban gaining power in Afghanistan. As reported by TFI, a clubhouse conversation between a group of Muslims has leaked, where one of the speakers is heard telling the listeners to take lessons from the Taliban and replicate the same in India for ‘attaining azaadi’.

The support for the Taliban and its activities from the radical Muslim community of India can be traced back to the founding philosophy of the terrorist outfit. Taliban is said to have been inspired by the Deobandi Islamist movement that originated from a town named Deoband in Uttar Pradesh. Many of its followers moved to Pakistan and Afghanistan before the Partition, and the movement became popular.

Meanwhile, in a tweet, journalist Barkha Dutt allegedly appreciated the “non-violent” approach of the Taliban’s invasion while trying to be unbiased with the situation. She tweeted: “This is almost like a bloodless coup, preordained and pre-scripted. Call me cynical but it seems to me that the Americans have negotiated for their own safe passage before the Taliban takes over Kabul. And that’s all that’s being waited for. Unconscionable.”

Shafiqur Rahman Barq, Samajwadi Party MP from Sambhal went to the extend and quoted Talibanis as ‘Freedom Fighters’ synonymous to Indian freedom fighters, who fought against the British oppression. 

ANI quoted Shafiqur in a tweet, “When India was under British rule, our country fought for freedom. Now Taliban wants to free their country & run it. Taliban is a force that did not allow even strong countries like Russia & America to settle in their country.”

Pakistan and Indian Islamists have joined forces in celebrating the re-emergence of the Taliban in Afghanistan with some of them harbouring dreams of a similar regime here in the country. By not acknowledging the Taliban’s barbarity, one can readily understand where their allegiances lie.
