00:02:07.140 the taliban side the taliban have come they are welcome there is no fear no threat simintov a carpet and

00:02:13.340 jury merchant added the taliban have sought to present a more moderate face since last week's

00:02:18.460 lightning offensive me personally i wouldn't say it's a more moderate i think that hopefully they

00:02:25.400 try to practice the real islam and not go to extremes of you know a woman um i'm not saying

00:02:31.220 wearing burqa is extreme but you know to those levels they can't study they can't all this kind of 1.00

00:02:35.320 stuff you know this is not from islam they're coming to the true understanding of islam hopefully

00:02:39.540 but the group was infamous for its harsh repressive policies when it ruled afghanistan afghanistan from

00:02:45.740 1996 to 2001 before being toppled by the u.s death forces and prompting many to form formulate an exit

00:02:52.180 plan but simintov who has served twice in the afghan army said he would not leave despite his wife and

00:02:57.560 two daughters moving to israel in 1992 as the caretaker of kabul's only synagogue residing in his compound for

00:03:03.280 decades simintov has witnessed a civil war soviet and u.s invasion afghanistan the taliban rule and the

00:03:09.300 groups returned to power 20 years later the kabul synagogue established in 1966 is the only jewish

00:03:15.460 place of worship in the country after all jews moved to herat in western afghanistan which once

00:03:20.760 hosted four synagogues wow so that's in total five synagogues although information on the origins of

00:03:25.920 judaism in afghanistan is scarce it is believed that jews came to the region about 2 000 years ago

00:03:31.240 living in relative peace and harmony in the muslim majority country until the mid 20th century

00:03:36.980 once a thriving community in afghanistan thousands of afghan jews left for israel and western countries

00:03:42.260 in the late 1940s after the creation of israel and after the soviet invasion in 1979 simintov also

00:03:47.860 simintov also expressed and urged the taliban not to give any share to these former figures and

00:03:56.060 militia leaders who have been behind the country's destruction and instead bring together sound and

00:04:01.880 professional individuals from different ethnic groups and minorities these leaders have given their

00:04:06.580 tests in the past have plundered afghanistan and looted billions their presence will damage the 0.96

00:04:11.080 taliban's credibility simintov said wow this is coming from a jewish person despite his hostility

00:04:16.240 towards the taliban in the past he admits to kabul and other areas being safer under their rule

00:04:20.460 blaming us leaders for invading afghanistan and creating destruction and carnage the us is leaving 1.00

00:04:25.920 a bad name in history by invading here the taliban is back why did it spend so much money kill so many 0.99

00:04:31.400 people and now leave this way us citizens should not vote for president joe biden and former president

00:04:36.540 donald trump both of them are totally mad he said let's see what comes next brothers and sisters the

00:04:41.640 prophet peace be upon him has lived with the jews and the christians in harmony so much so that they

00:04:46.140 had a treaty with the tribes of jewish tribes in medina that they would protect them and if an enemy

00:04:54.100 comes that they will protect each other vice versa even though some of the jewish tribes of

00:04:57.060 and banu kainuqa broke those treaties but the point here is that when people think about a muslim nation

00:05:04.740 this whole notion that there is compulsion religion is absolutely false not only do we see this in

00:05:10.900 afghanistan 2 000 years that they've been living there and there's about five synagogues in that

00:05:15.960 country this myth is debunked once again and the jewish people have run to muslim lands the ottoman empire

00:05:22.940 and many many other empires in history why because they were persecuted by the christians yep the

00:05:29.900 crusaders and the christians who have actually anti-semitism has derived from because they

00:05:35.380 believe that their god jesus was killed by jewish people you know and that's why the animosity towards

00:05:42.600 the jews have been rampant throughout history and the muslims have been a safe haven for these jews so much

00:05:48.480 so that uh one um rabbi said that if the muslims ruled around the 19 should say the 40s onwards we

00:05:57.000 would have five million extra jews today brothers and sisters i'm not going to keep this video long

00:06:01.520 this was a reminder to all of us that muslims live in peace and muslims are not here to rule and force

00:06:08.460 coercion you know to uh islam uh and that is made clear in the quran by allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:06:14.960 to your religion and to us ours may allah bless you guys inshallah and share this with your friends

00:06:19.180 and family inshallah brothers and sisters till next time assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

00:06:23.480 you
