aoa,

- One poster giving his name as Haseeb-ur-Rahman asked: "Don't you think that killing all these people in suicide and bomb attacks every day is a big sin?"
The spokesman replied that the Taliban's fighters have been issued with clear instructions to avoid civilian casualties at all costs. If there are any, ''they are not deliberate".
and then,
- Someone questioned the legitimacy of carrying out suicide attacks in mosques, where copies of the Koran have also been damaged. The response is a claim that the Taliban ''have not carried out attacks in mosques'', and that the damage to the copies of the Koran was ''not deliberate'
- The Taliban banned girls from school during their rule between 1996 and 2001. A female, Madiha Khalid from Germany, asked ''would girls have the opportunity to get education if the Taliban came back to power?''
Zabihullah Mujahid blamed a lack of funds to ensure girls' schools were run according to Islamic tenets. "We want to prepare ground for our mothers and sisters to have Islamic education in an Islamic environment," he said.
- It appears as if only a select set of questions are answered on this new forum. In some cases, some parts of questions are left unanswered, such as a part of a question which asks the Taliban ''why don't they fight against Pakistan?''
Another questioner has challenged the Taliban spokesman, saying ''you publish only those questions that serve your interest.''
''We naturally refrain from publishing those questions that are against the territorial integrity, unity and national interest, or create sensitivities, enhance differences, or are against our religious values'', was the answer.
- While pointing to the successes made by the Afghan cricket team, another questioner asked: ''how would the Taliban see the National Cricket Team?''
''We support all those sports that are good for health and have a noble purpose," the spokesman replied. ''You and other sports fans should be made aware of that fact that cricket was made official by the Taliban when they were in power.''
impressive.
