Are the taliban sunni Muslims

Answer 1

Answer:

The Taliban do adhere to the fundamental principles of Islam, so they are, technically, Muslims. They do not violate any principle belief, or religious practice.

HOWEVER . . . . they are not properly educated in Islam, and they are very reactionary. They clearly do not understand that a lot of what they are doing is simply wrong, in Islam. That's why they do incorrect things - like attack girls' schools, etc.

Answer 2

The Taliban alternative spelling Taleban,is an Islamic fundamentalist political movement inAfghanistan. It spread into Afghanistan and formed a government, ruling as the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan from September 1996 until December 2001, with Kandahar as the capital. However, it gained diplomatic recognition from only three states: Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Mohammed Omar has been serving as the spiritual leader of the Taliban since 1994.

While in power, it enforced its strict interpretation of Sharia law, and leading Muslims have been highly critical of the Taliban's interpretations of Islamic law. The Taliban were condemned internationally for their brutal treatment of women. The majority of their leaders were influenced by Deobandi fundamentalism, and many also strictly follow the social and cultural norm called Pashtunwali.

Answer 3

YES. Both of these groups are constituted of Muslims who believe they are Muslims and are enacting plausible versions of the faith. Now, their understanding of Islam and of politics is not necessarily in-line with the majority of Muslims, but to pretend that these organizations have nothing to do with the doctrines that arise from Qur'an is fatuous. A further discussion of each of these organizations is below.

Al-Qaeda
Al-Qaeda is an international international terrorist organization. Al-Qaeda's mission is to bring about the Fall of the West and the Islamicization (both cultural, religious, and political) of Western Nations. Their organization sought refuge in several Arab and Muslim countries and found space to grow in Afghanistan until the American Invasion in 2001. Since that point, they have grown cells in numerous other countries, but focused their greatest efforts in Franchising. Franchising means that a nondescript Arab militant group will begin to call themselves Al-Qaeda and advocate for Al-Qaeda's goals without actually being connected to Al-Qaeda's central command structure. In return, Al-Qaeda will donate funds to this militant group to pursue its aims. As a result, people who identify as Al-Qaeda may not even be connected to the Al-Qaeda leadership in the same way that the individual owners of McDonald's Restaurants do not necessarily have a connection with McDonald's Executives.

Taliban
The Taliban is a specific political Islamist Party/Militant Organization. The Taliban has certain political aims: the control of Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan. The Taliban also were able to hold national control in Afghanistan and ruled it according to some of the most barbaric interpretations of Shari'a Law. As a result, they spread out through national channels such as police and justice departments. The Taliban, consequently, has very limited aims that came in direct contravention of American interests only in 2001 when the United States invaded Afghanistan. The Taliban, while supporting Al-Qaeda, were not (prior to 2001) interested in the latter's goal of attacking and Islamicizing the West. They are still opposed to exerting resources to achieve these goals, but do focus their efforts on removing the Northern Alliance government of Afghanistan and leading that country again.

Answer 4

According to the Quran members of alqueda and Taliban are not actually Muslim because they aspire to kill non Muslims. The Quran forbids killing even a tree unless you are in immenent danger.
