Talibans: Thugs Or Torch-Bearers Of Islam?

by Guest Post

There are many who argue that Taliban does not represent true Islam. Definitely yes, they do not represent the common Muslim of the subcontinent. But unfortunately they have been made to appear as the face of real Islam in this polarized world.
