Is also the case now because USA failed to conquer them.
That is because USA and rest of the Western forces didn't want to conquer them. The fighting was half-hearted.
1. The Taliban have had their embassy in Qatar since 2013 and Qatar has a large American military base yet no Western intelligence agency or Mossad assassinated the Taliban people in the embassy while they were claiming to fight the Taliban in Afghanistan.
2. Some years ago I read that some Taliban fighters were carried onboard US air force planes to be delivered to the battlefields of Syria to fight alongside the "Syrian" "moderate rebels" against the forces of Bashar al Assad and his allies. Assad being the leader of a Socialist movement is the common ideological enemy of the Taliban and the Western governments.
3. The Taliban used to force Afghan farmers to grow opium and sell it to the American military.
4. The Aynak copper mine not far from Kabul had a unique arrangement. It is managed by the Chinese and the Americans used to have a military unit stationed there. And the Taliban generally had an understanding with the Western militaries to not do fighting around this area.
They would have conquered if we didn't supplied Taliban and helped them. What i am saying is even before US invasion, we should have been the one who invaded. With their funding we would have absolutely dominated Afghanistan and forever would have been their trusted partner.
Agreed. So Pakistan should help the progressives in Afghanistan like the Solidarity Party of Afghanistan in overthrowing the Taliban.
Also, scholars from other Islamic countries or even other deobandi scholars maybe able to persuade them of what is Sunnath and what is Fahd.
Well, if you somehow have in mind the "scholars" of Darul Uloom Deoband in India then they are just unarmed versions of the Taliban.
But yes maybe scholars from Syria, Egypt, Algeria and Indonesia.
Their zeal is like the early French Revolution, and it will set them back until they get more realistic.
Hmm, not an accurate comparison. The French Revolution AFAIK was due to socio-economic disparity maintained by the monarchy and the spread of enlightened ideas among some who called for a revolutionary change. BTW I have read that Napoleon was interested in Islam and he called himself Citizen Ali. He also corresponded with Tipu Sultan who was also something of an enlightened ruler and these two wanted to see an India free of the British. So my point is would Napoleon have been interested in Islam if Islam was as portrayed by the Taliban ? Hence not an accurate comparison.
