Taliban 12 September 2025

 

The following is a translation of the speech in Pashto language by the leader of Afghanistan’s Islamic Taliban government, Mullah Mohammed Omar. It was read at a clerics meeting in Kabul, Afghanistan, in 2001.

***

Our system is the true example of an Islamic system. For the enemies of religion and our country, this system is like a thorn in their eyes, and they are trying to destroy it under various pretexts.

Holding Osama Bin Laden responsible for the strikes in New York and Washington is an excuse. Afghanistan does not have resources, nor is Osama that powerful, nor does he have contacts with the outside world to carry out or plan such attacks. We also do not give him permission to use Afghan territory against any other country.

We have never tried to create problems with America.

We have held talks in the present and the past with US governments several times, and we are ready for more talks.
