As many Taliban supporters crawl out of the woodwork after their takeover in Afghanistan, Naseeruddin Shah is schooling Muslims for such attitudes. The Bollywood star called out how dangerous this is.<\/p>\n
The Najaiz<\/em><\/strong> actor criticized ‘sections of Indian Muslims celebrating the Taliban\u2019s return to power in Afghanistan’. He said this is rather dangerous.<\/p>\n \u201cEven as the Taliban\u2019s return to power in Afghanistan is a cause for concern for the whole world, celebrations of the barbarians by some sections of Indian Muslims is no less dangerous.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Afghan Father Who Wants To Educate His Girls in War-Torn Afghanistan Goes Viral<\/a><\/p>\n In a recent video, the Mohra<\/em><\/strong> actor schooled\u00a0those celebrating the Taliban takeover, suggesting they ask themselves,<\/p>\n \u201cIf they want a reformed, modern Islam (jiddat pasandi modernity), or live with the old barbarism (vaishipan) of the past few centuries.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/AfgFactChecks\/status\/1433174146628919306<\/p>\n Naseeruddin Shah pointed out distinctions between \u2018Hindustani Islam\u2019 and how Islam is practiced in other parts of the world. He prayed that Islam must not be twisted to a point that it is no longer recognizable as ‘the religion of peace.’<\/p>\n \u201cMay God not bring a time when it changes so much that we cannot even recognize it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The actor also touched on his personal\u00a0relationship with God, and that he doesn\u2019t need political religion.<\/p>\n \u201cI am an Indian Muslim and as Mirza Ghalib said years ago, my relationship with God is informal. I don\u2019t need political religion.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Do you share Naseeruddin Shah’s concern about the pro-Taliban sentiment? Let us know in the comments below.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan on August 15th after days of armed conflict with Afghan security forces, leading to them seizing control of all provincial capitals and the national capital Kabul. Currently, Panjshir remains the last stronghold against the Taliban.<\/a> People have taken up arms to defend their territory as the Taliban’s military offensive continues.<\/p>\n Forcing your ideas on anyone through militancy is deplorable. Additionally to politicize religion for these means is even more despicable. From using religion to dictate freedom of speech, to access to education and information.<\/p>\n Malala Yousafzai: ‘Nine Years After Being Shot, I Am Still Recovering From a Single Taliban Bullet’<\/a><\/p>\n Soon after the takeover, reports of forced marriage<\/a> and minority massacres emerged. Amnesty International shared that the Taliban massacred ethnic Shiites Hazaras<\/a> in Ghazni.<\/p>\n When Muslims are globally suffering the repercussions of Islamophobia, such actions will only add to that sentiment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As many Taliban supporters crawl out of the woodwork after their takeover in Afghanistan, Naseeruddin Shah is schooling Muslims for such attitudes.
