Ex-Taliban Commander Lectures Mullah Omar About Koran
“When Mullah Omar was leaving Kandahar [in late 2001], he gave his authority to Mullah Naqibakhond. So Mullah Omar has resigned his authority as Emir. Islamic scholars know that an Emir who has given his authority away can no longer claim to be an Emir. And now, [Mullah Omar] is so weak that he is hiding in a cave. He gives his orders on an audio recording. And he orders the killing of teachers and students and the destruction of schools. This is not the Islamic way. And it is not the Islamic way for an Emir to resign and then claim that he still has authority as an Emir.”
