Maulvi Fazal Karim Siraji, former head of the Unity of Mosques of Afghanistan, cited verses from the Holy Quran and the Prophetic Hadiths, emphasizing that from the perspective of Islam, defending against oppression is legitimate and any individual or group that deprives people of their rights and freedoms is considered an oppressor.

In part of his speech, referring to the situation in Afghanistan, Siraji called the restrictions imposed on people's rights an example of oppression and said that defending life, property, honor, and legitimate rights is an inalienable right of citizens, according to religious texts. He also emphasized the legitimacy of defending against aggressors and oppressors, citing the verse "Permission is given to those who fight because they have been wronged" and the Hadiths of the Prophet of Islam (PBUH).

He further described the Taliban's actions as an example of oppression and stated that people have the right to defend their rights and property against any oppression and aggression.
