  While I quite agree with Bern on seeing others as human beings in terms of a religious leader to the British Armed Forces he should be aware of the 'political' ramifications of his statements. Like everything else religion has its political element and to most practising Moslems, certainly in the west, the Taliban are seen as extremists. I am sure he would not accept someone making similar statements about, as an example, the radical Christians of the Ku Klux Klan.
  Unlike moderate followers of all religions the Taliban are only "commited to eachother" in that they think everyone else who doesn't follow their narrow interpretation of their doctrine can be treated as they see fit.
