With the new era in Afghanistan, the message and actions of the Taliban to the world point to a crossroads that can be destructive or constructive for Muslims.
Judging from the negative images presented to the public, especially about the women's issue and the area of freedom, it is clear that there is a reaction to the Taliban administration for now.
However, the opposite is also true. What the Taliban movement, which is welcomed in some circles as an Islamic revolution, will bring to Afghanistan is also eagerly awaited.
The relationship of the Taliban regime with international actors is also being tried to be understood. Although it has recently appeared with China, it is followed as a matter of curiosity which block from the USA and China will get closer.
RISING VALUE ISLAM
Obviously, everyone is nervous about the bad image that the Taliban will give to the world with its Muslim identity and all kinds of negative messages. We hope that they will not take actions that will make Islam and Muslims pay a heavy price. We hope that with the negative propaganda made all over the world, we will not face any situation that we fear.
A situation that prevents people who are likely to prefer Islam does not occur. There will be no anti-propaganda work on the subject of "This is the Islam you are dying to convert to". In the final analysis, the tandoor of Islamophobia does not carry wood.
It should not be underestimated the comments that social engineers and sociologists of religion evaluate in the 2050-2100 projection, that the Taliban is paving the way as an obstacle and a preemptive movement against those who are likely to turn to Islam as a rising value in the future. So are we going to witness one more of the American projects that are always kept in the script? Time will show that.
Since America, the world's gendarme, has handed over Afghanistan even though it apparently did not want it, there are many question marks. Moreover, matters such as how the new administration will be shaped in Afghanistan, what is discussed at the table, what calculations are made in the background are not known.
BLACK PROPAGANDA FROM SOLID SECULARISTS
Judging from what has happened in the last few days, with the Taliban era that started in Afghanistan, a black propaganda about religion and religious values began to dominate in secular, strict, secularist circles.
They do not shy away from insulting Islam, Muslims and the Islamic legal system/shariah at every opportunity. In fact, they are trying to express what they cannot say against the religious people and the government in our country through Afghanistan. And of course, “You are all Taliban!” saying.
Although the Taliban claims to be doing it in the name of Islam, it should be carefully examined how well the values they defend are compatible with the moral principles of the religion.
As the secularist secularist anti-religious people say today; "Down with the Sharia! The Shariatists have come to power!" We are not anti-Taliban like those who shout with expressions like this, nor are we in a position to rejoice that “Muslims have come to rule in Afghanistan," as our simpleton brothers said.
SUCCESS IN AFGHANISTAN
However, the following point should be underlined. Was the country in great prosperity and freedom in the pre-Taliban era? We are talking about a people and geography that is already in ruins and stuck between the defenders of communism and capitalism for years.
Let's admit that; The success of the Taliban is a result of the Afghan jihad and Afghan local dynamics. However, his failure will be blamed on all Muslims.
By declaring the Afghan Islamic Republic, everything is not considered solved. Calling something Islamic does not mean that it contains the most correct interpretation of religion. At this point, it is important to ensure the peace and freedom of the people. It is important to highlight the high values of Islam.
A corrupt interpretation of sharia in customs and traditions can seriously damage the image of Muslims. For this reason, there is a need for individuals who can think deeply and understand the essence of Islam in an authentic way. This is an expectation that is valid for the entire Islamic world, especially Afghanistan.
As a result of all these warnings and determinations, we have to approach the current Taliban administration with caution by looking at it from a different front. For today, it is important to stay away from aggressive and emotional approaches.
AMERICA'S FIASCO
But we can safely say that America failed despite everything. Drowning in the persecution it has been doing for more than 20 years, it started to evacuate the country and evacuate its collaborators without looking back. America had to withdraw from Afghanistan, which it took for granted as home. It showed that it does not value its collaborators as much as its dogs.
But in general, our region remains a swamp for America. Afghan jihad and Afghan mujahideen; fed a generation intellectually, spiritually and psychologically.
Yeah! We are entering a new and difficult period where the price may be heavy. In this process, it is necessary to avoid favorable and unfavorable attitudes and behaviors in our country, and those concerned should also calculate the results well.
Finally; Which is more preferable, the imperialists, who are making the world narrow to the masses with their state-of-the-art modern weapons and power, with the image of an Afghan mujahideen with a Kalashnikov and local clothes in their hands? The decision is yours.
