'Taliban' confronts class divide

Class divide in terms of social-economic and not Indian caste system, where you have social and economic restrictions based upon birth.  In other words, Islam would not support the �Robin Hood� rob from the rich to give to poor, as there is nothing wrong with being rich. 

"This story from the news is true that Taliban have used class divide to gain popularity in rural areas. They have forced landlords(Khans of Swat) to flee and handed over their property to poor farmers and villagers. This way they have ensured loyalty of majority of population. However, this practice in itself is unislamic and is more of communist/imperialist practice. Islam in fact supports class divides while stressing justice and equal rights for every body. But according to Islam you have to accept your circumstances and struggle for the survival. However, there is supposed to be a support system for those who can not support themselves and their families. Having said this, you can not just grab/steal other peoples money/property using class divide as an excuse because such an excuse is totally unislamic."

I meant replacement of the system with more egalitarian system. This is not possible unless the present system is fully discarded. I meant a revolution. Of course, the newer system will have its own flaws but, at least, it's support base will be wider.

Taliban are the Bread n Butter of Pakistan Government. Why must they eradicate them? The day they do that billion of dollars stop coming in.
