The Taliban are angry because the Iranians seem to be neglecting this Qur’anic directive: “Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are ruthless to unbelievers, merciful to one another.” (Qur’an 48:29)
The application of that passage to any individual case depends on whom one considers to be a fellow Muslim, and whom one considers to be an unbeliever.
