1 00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,699 A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah. 2 00:00:08,699 --> 00:00:12,699 Why did the Americans invade Afghanistan? 3 00:00:12,699 --> 00:00:18,600 The Americans invaded Afghanistan under the pretext of eradicating terrorism. 4 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:27,600 And to take revenge on those who bombed the World Trade Center towers in the year 2001. 5 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:33,600 And to empower women in Afghanistan to be liberated and grant them the opportunity for education. 6 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:40,600 Yet, if they truly wanted to educate women, they would have provided the Taliban government with the funds for that. 7 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:48,600 This would have been easier for them than the exorbitant cost of the invasion and the loss of many of their soldiers there. 8 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:55,890 Wesley Clark, the commander of NATO forces, declared the true reason behind the invasion. 9 00:00:55,890 --> 00:01:03,890 He said, "Whoever thinks that we went to Afghanistan to take revenge for the events of September 11th," 10 00:01:03,890 --> 00:01:10,890 "should correct his mistake; we went to ward off a greater danger, which is Islam." 11 00:01:11,890 --> 00:01:18,890 "We do not want Islam to remain a free project in which Muslims decide what Islam is." 12 00:01:18,890 --> 00:01:22,890 "Rather, we are the ones who decide for them what Islam is." 13 00:01:22,890 --> 00:01:31,980 It is regrettable that they have succeeded to a large extent in spreading their own concepts of Islam throughout the entire world. 14 00:01:31,980 --> 00:01:41,980 For they have divided it into political Islam, moderate Islam, extremist Islam, and so on.
