You mean like Mukhtar Naqvi in BJP???

Not exactly, BJP enjoys great support in the Shia community.

What do you guys think?

I have no affiliation with them. Neither do I support them. However, from whatever I have read there seems to be some Pashtuns. I would not be surprised if some Tajiks and Hazaras joined the ranks. Pashtuns and Tajiks are usually Sunni. Hazaras are usually Shia. So, if there is a Hazara at the forefront then he could he Shia.

That's for good public relations. In reality, they really hate and despise Shias .

Iran has been providing assistance to Taliban for a long time! their only enemy is idol worshiper and occupiers

 

[Shapur]

Not surprised at all. Once ISIS came along, the shias had to look for alliances in areas under Taliban control and had no choice but to join hands with Talis

Hmm Idol worshipers, you mean like the black stone? Not good to hate yourself, they need counselling sessions. As for Iran, obviously it would assist the Taliban to kick out the US, doesn't mean they are allies. They are still bitter rivals and once the US is gone, they will turn against one another again.

Iranian infiltrators... Question their loyalty and you will know their allegiance.

You already know my opinions on this bro... Adherents to an ideology will only be loyal to the ideology of their choosing, not their host nation. When it comes down to it, what do you think he will be loyal towards?

Decent people are loyal to the country they reside in. Treacherous and disloyal people are not.

That is too simple of a reason. Especially since we know US brought Daesh there to use against Taliban.

I think that Taliban has reached the point where it has become accepted as the de facto government of Afghanistan. It means Indian and Iranian influence is gone.

In sha Allah, I hope its all for the best.

 

[Salmanov]

That’s why ISIS accused the taliban becoming sahwat and nationalistic movement

The Taliban of today and yesterday are two completely different things. It is not uncommon that Taliban fighters in central and northern Afghanistan are Hazaras, Tajik and Uzbeks.

But aren’t Uzbeks and Tajiks are also have many members in taliban?! From what I know these are ethnic groups but the hazara are Shia that’s why taliban hates them I wonder if they have problem with a hazara who become Sunni?!

 

[313ghazi]

The Taliban of today and yesteryear are a different beast. This Taliban will be more tolerant and progressive - by local standards.

 

[Pan-Islamic-Pakistan]

the hazara are Shia that’s why taliban hates them

Taliban are Deobandi Sunni Hanafis like Pakistanis. The hate for Shias isn't extreme as Salafis or Khaleejis.

It is more to due with internal politicals of some Shia groups and Iran.
