Taliban Supporters at McMaster?

The occupation of Afghanistan is part of a "war against Islam" according to the the McMaster University group Muslims for Peace and Justice. A war "in particular against countries that are rising Islamically." The invasion of Afghanistan was done of to remove the Taliban from power, the Taliban who were supporting al-Qaeda including harbouring Osama bin Laden, and who, in their own terms, had declared war on the United States (who, call me crazy, I take as an ally of Canada) and who had just attacked there, killing over 3000 Americans.

Anyway, is this group saying that Afghanistan under the Taliban was the right thing and that it was "rising Islamically?" I don't see what else could be being said. If they're saying that the Taliban represents Islam manifest, hey, maybe -- I won't contest that. That the Taliban was a good thing...that punishing as far as executing people for personal, victimless actions, such as sexual relations out of wedlock, homosexual relations, drinking alcohol, criticising religion, freely choosing one's own faith, etc...that these atrocities are good things is just absurd.

We dhimmis are forbidden to associate Islam with terror but Muslims never feel that they are required to do the same.
