Afghanistan Peace CampaignMawlawi Kabir also said that the “Islamic Tahrik of Taliban under the command of Mullah Mohammad Omar Mujahid rose up and eliminated corruption.”
The political deputy prime minister, Mawlawi Abdul Kabir, said that the US and NATO would have attacked Afghanistan even if Osama bin Laden, founder of al-Qaeda, left Afghanistan of his own free will.
Speaking at a gathering at Sapedar palace, Mawlawi Kabir referred to the US attack on Afghanistan in 2001 and said that the “tyrannical and arrogant powers of the world, who did not like” the survival of the Islamic system in Afghanistan, “used Osama as an excuse.”
“Even if Osama left Afghanistan of his own free will, America and its friends would have attacked Afghanistan, it was happening for sure,” he said.
Mawlawi Kabir said that handing bin Laden to the US was an issue of honor to the founder of the Islamic Emirate, Mullah Mohammad Omar Mujahid.
“You should not say that the Islamic Emirate has troubled Afghanistan with problems because of someone,” he said. “Firstly, it was a matter of zeal for our Amir al-Muminin that we did not…dishonor Muslims in the history of Islam by handing over a Muslim to an infidel.”
