(Sydney Morning Herald) Muslim Australians have raised concerns about an online forum being promoted by the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils that will include two senior Taliban representatives.
The federation, which describes itself as the peak group representing Muslims in Australia, is holding the event on Saturday to discuss the “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan” — the Taliban’s official name for their country — and the Muslim diaspora.
“AFIC has brought together a stellar panel of speakers for an online forum on the future of Afghanistan and our role regardless of whether we are in favour or against recent developments,” a promotional social media post for the event states.
