(Anadolu) Muslim groups in the US voiced support for the country’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The US Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO) released a written statement late Tuesday, hailing President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw the US military from Afghanistan by the Aug. 31 deadline.
It also urged Biden and the US Congress to “pull back” any American armed forces deployed over the past two decades in the “terribly misguided, massively deadly, and immensely costly war on terror” in the Middle East and elsewhere.
“USCMO calls on all actors in Afghanistan — including the Taliban — to materially demonstrate the values of Islam by pursuing a sincere and just reconciliation that includes and respects all the people of Afghanistan, especially Afghan women,” it said.
