The Taliban has been at it again: most recently, murdering indiscriminately in Afghanistan and Pakistan. A movement that has little tolerance for alternative opinions or positions, their answer to all opposition, verbal or otherwise, is brute force and suicide bombings. The recruitment of young impressionable boys, sometimes mentally-challenged, has been part of their strategy for decades.
Islam itself has to come up with answers to address the issue of suicide bombings, especially scholars from Pakistan and Afghanistan preferably not related to the government to give it credibility. Saudi Arabia, which is responsible for the creation of such militant ideologies in the world, can also play a pivotal role in pointing out the absence of any precedence in Islam for suicide bombing.
It is the least that the repressive Saudi government can do to undo the wrong that they have done in unleashing monsters in the world.
