The Taliban are just Freedom Fighters.

Yes, because they are fighting for freedom. The US would do the same if Russia invaded the US.

The Taliban are not fighting for freedom. They are fighting for domination. They kill more civilians than they kill soldiers.

Side: No

Fighting for freedom does not include killing thousands of innocent lives. They are not fighting for freedom but they are fighting for dictatorship. Also, if they are really fighting for freedom, then how come many of them have not even made any achievements to their own country that they live in?

they want other countries to stop invading their lands

They should have thought of that before they high jacked some planes and blew up some of our buildings, killing innocent people in a pre- emptive strike.

they are only fighting for their country.

The taliban are a repressive regime who are trying to overthrow the democratic government of Afghanistan using violence and fear to force others into submission.

well most of them are only fighting for revenge of their dead ones. when america announced war in Iraq for oil, many innocents were killed. they are doing the same that the Americans did.

Let me just put it in simple terms: anything that results in the death of innocent people is wrong. The Taliban are self-righteous, and have no right to kill, to defy human value. Extremism is never the solution. Let them resort to strikes and other forms of revolution that does not include bloodshed, ther's nothing sinful about that. Whoever they might be, and whatever they might be fighting for, be it something as noble as freedom or something as non-existing or mythical or made-up as jihad, they have no right whatsoever to end human life, or to contaminate the image of Islam.

then you may as well say that those ho fought for the freedom of India are not freedom fighters. considering your username you seem Indian. the leaders fought for the freedom of their country, and killed many innocent British.

The Taliban are self-righteous, and have no right to kill, to defy human value

they have no right to kill, but nor do the Americans. america killed many innocent for oil in Iraq. Americans too, have no right to kill, or defy human value.

Let them resort to strikes and other forms of revolution that does not include bloodshed, ther's nothing sinful about that

this is a kind of strike they are doing, although it involves lots of bloodshed.

Whoever they might be, and whatever they might be fighting for, be it something as noble as freedom

they do not fight for freedom, but for their loved ones who were victims of bombarding and war by the Americans.

they have no right whatsoever to end human life, or to contaminate the image of Islam.

no they have no right to end human life, no one does, but when one person does it to them, revenge is a natural feeling.

and they do not contaminate the image of Islam. the only relation of theirs to Islam is that it is most of theirs' religion.

We have no right to seek justice? We have no right to help the Afghani government fight the Taliban?

america killed many innocent for oil in Iraq.

Iraq was not about oil. If it was about oil and we took their oil, then our gas prices would have gone down, not up. Also out of all the middle eastern countries with oil, why invade Iraq? They do no have the most oil in the region. They don't have enough to sustain us for more than 6 months.

Americans too, have no right to kill or defy human value.

As you said "when one person does it to them, revenge is a natural feeling".

and they do no contaminate the image of Islam.

Radical Islamic fanatics don't hurt the image of mainstream Islam?

It's a bit more complicated than that.

One person's freedom fighter is another person's terrorist.

I think that's the saying.

i don't understand how any one who fights to reinstall a religious oppressive government based off militant inhumane ideals could be considered a freedom fighter. sure fighting for the freedom to reenact intolerant religious law.
