CNN's Nic Robertson recently held an interview with the Taliban's Zabiullah Mujahid in an undisclosed location. This reporter really has no idea what Sharia law and what the Taliban is all about. From the article:
He says they'll use suicide bombers in their attacks. I want to know how they justify tactics that kill so many civilians. I find his answer falls far short of even trying to explain let alone apologize for the carnage they cause. He says it is justified in Islam, it has its roots in history and Islam's Prophet Mohammed.
That's not what most Muslims I talk to say; they abhor such nihilistic thinking.
Robertson reminds Mujahid that he is up against the strongest military in the world. Mujahid laughed.
At one point he laughs when I say he is up against the strongest army in the world. His point is Taliban fighters are not afraid of dying. "If they want to send the troops and change things ... we believe they can't do anything.
"Afghanistan will be the Vietnam for them, concerning their policy, it is the same Bush policy. There no changes in this policy. I want to tell you clearly we will win, and they will die." (emphasis mine)
