Hot Air<\/a> (and many other places on the Internet) are reporting today that America has signed a peace treaty with the Taliban in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

The United States is set to sign a peace deal Saturday with the Taliban, its adversary in Afghanistan\u2019s 18-year war. The deal marks a major turning point in a conflict marred by years of both military and diplomatic stalemate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One provision of the agreement is the full withdrawal of American troops that is \u201cheavily conditions based,\u201d according to two U.S. officials who have been briefed on the deal. The officials declined to elaborate on what exactly those conditions are. They spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to discuss the deal publicly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

This is something I was venting my frustrations about on Twitter<\/a> yesterday. While I would be very pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong, I can\u2019t believe that the promises of the Taliban are worth anything. Also, even if they were being sincere, they don\u2019t control all of the fighters in their country, so their ability to maintain a ceasefire is dubious at best.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I realize I\u2019ve preached this line to all of you in the past, but I\u2019ve not seen anything to sway my opinion much. The Taliban is just waiting for us to leave. If they have to wait another 14 months or another 14 years, they will. They\u2019re very good at waiting for invading armies to grow frustrated and go home. They\u2019ve been doing it forever. And as soon as we\u2019re gone, they will tear now the new government and return to being a primitive, seventh century nation just as they\u2019ve always been. At this point, we should probably just face up to that reality, use this deal as a ticket to pull our troops out and leave them to their own devices.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are some things to remember when considering the war in Afghanistan. We made two major mistakes in that war that essentially cost us the moral high ground. Because we did not have the courage to face the problem of pedophilia in the country or to eliminate the poppy crop. Both would have been very difficult, but both would have had a positive impact on the blatant corruption in the country. Unless we were willing to overwhelm the population and stay long enough to change the culture, we were not going to be victorious there.<\/p>\n

We also need to remember two of the basic concepts found in Islam–hudna and taqiyya. Reliance of the Traveller<\/span>, which is a classical manual of fiqh for the Shafi’i school of Islamic jurisprudence, states the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

If the Muslims are weak, a truce may be made for ten years if necessary, for the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him Peace) made a truce with Quraysh for that long, as it related by Abu Dawud. It is not permissible to stipulate longer than that, save by means of new truces, each of which does not exceed ten years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The purpose of a truce (hudna) was to give the Muslims time to stockpile weapons and become stronger.<\/p>\n

In Islamic law, an obligation to lie exists if it is the only way to achieve an obligatory goal in Islam. Al-Taqiyya is based on a concept in Quaran 3:28 and 16:106. It is also found in the hadith,\u00a0 the embodiment of the sunnah, the words and actions of the prophet and his family the Ahl al-Bayt (The Twelve Imams and the prophet’s daughter, Fatimah).<\/p>\n

We are leaving Afghanistan. Under present conditions, that is a good thing. However, to believe that this will mean that Afghanistan will no longer be a disjointed terrorist state is naive. Afghanistan has never really experienced freedom under a central government. It is naive to believe that we can superimpose a central government that espouses individual freedom over what is currently there. We need to learn the lessons of the American revolution–unless the people are willing to fight for their freedom and respect the Laws of Nature and the Laws of Nature’s God, they will never be free.<\/p>\n
