Background Ulema Council Kandahar:
In recent years, 23 of the religious council's 50 members have been assassinated by the insurgents. Kandahar clerics sympathetic to the Taliban, however, say they understand why the Islamic scholars, known as ulema, are being targeted. "The Kandahar Ulema Council is paying for their mistakes and naïveté. They say and do whatever they are told by the Afghan government and the Americans, in order to receive their monthly allowances," scoffs former Council member Mufti Mohammad Aarif, who served as provincial deputy education secretary in the pre-2001 Taliban government. "If you pick a side you must pay for the consequences."(20101003)
