The Taliban kill with the cry 'God is great,' but clearly he is not because they have to resort to human shields and the forcible persuasion and use of teenage girls and mentally disabled womenas suicide bombers to blow innocent people , mainly fellow Muslims to smitherines. If they claim to be followers of the Prophet Mohammed they should follow his teachings and use the methods he used to conquer his enemies, principally by discussion, respect and peaceful persuasion . But what does the prophet know about Islam compared to the Taliban?!At the moment they are preaching that Allah is a murderous coward who takes pleasure in injustice, cruelty, barbarism , pride and hatred and the love and lust for power,....and any and every innocent muslim child, and follower is expendable and of no worth at all to God . As for the infidels God though He is great and He created them, and is all compassionate and merciful, He cannot care or love or respect them as they have no more value than a fly on pig dung.Truelly the Taliban Allah is a great .....
