Taliban Ideology

The Taliban were a specific group of mujahideen who eventually took over Afghanistan. They were formed in the early 1990s with the backing of the CIA in the U.S. and the ISI in Pakistan. It’s mostly compromised of Pashtuns, who are the dominant ethnic group in most of southern and eastern Afghanistan. This was a major problem for Farah, her family, and some of their neighbors, because the Taliban soon started drafting young men for their army, and they were prejudiced towards their ethnic group, the Hazaras. Trying to avoid their sons being killed when drafted, they fled to Pakistan, leaving the rest of them to survive under the rule of the Taliban. But this only added to the problem they were in, because one of the Taliban’s laws they had to follow was that all women must be escorted by a man in public or else they would be beaten to death. Thankfully Farah and her mother managed to find that they could pay a man to be their escort so they could cross the Afghan border into Pakistan. Once they got to a city called Quetta, they found work and housing with a family there, and soon after there was news that certain Afghan refugees in Pakistan were being sent to the U.S. Farah and her mother applied and got in, but soon came 9/11 and the project

The Taliban are an Islamic political movement. They ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001. When they took over, several new laws, rules, and restrictions were made.

For over 2 centuries, Afghanistan has known virtually no time without war. Beginning around 326 B.C. with the conquests of Alexander the Great, to the Persians, British, Russians and most recently, America and our NATO allies, Afghanistan has been cultivated into the country that it is today through a trial by fire. Regardless of this relentless onslaught of foreign military power, the Afghan people have tirelessly defended their homeland with no outside power ever being able to subdue them completely. Following the withdrawal of the Soviet Union in 1989, the country fell into civil war, torn even further apart by fiercely dedicated tribal warlords. This power vacuum led to the rise of a group called the Taliban. Led by a one eyed man

As I started to think about what aspect of terrorism I wanted to write a paper on, it occurred to me that I didn't really know much about the Taliban group. Which is one of the major terrorist groups in today's society. So I am going to try and explain this group the best that I can. In couple different aspects, one is what their rules are, two how they treat women, and three what types of terrorist acts they have committed. The Taliban group is a group of men who formed in 1994 in the country of Kandahar by Islamic students who took a radical approach to interpreting Islam. The Group also believes in strict Islamic rules. According to them the men must have beards four fingers in length, there shall be no music, Nintendo, and women should

One of the most radical religious groups in the world today are known as the Taliban. The Taliban is a “fundamentalist Muslim group that controlled much of Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001” (Maley NP). The Taliban took power after the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan. When the Soviet Union left Afghanistan, the Taliban rose to power and took much control of the country. The Taliban leader is Mullah Mohammad Omar. The Taliban in Afghanistan are an Islāmic group, that uses harsh rules against Afghanistan’s women and helped attacked the United States.

The Taliban, similar to Al-Qaeda, is a Sunni Islamic organization in Afghanistan whose main goal is to gain more support and power. Bruce Riedel claims that without the safe haven/sanctuary the Taliban offered to Al-Qaeda, the 9/11 attacks would have never occurred; one of the most devastating events in American History. According to Frontline, Al-Qaeda began its relationship with the Taliban around 1996. During the War on Terror, the Taliban assisted Al-Qaeda by refusing to turn in Al-Qaeda members including Osama bin Laden. Al-Qaeda and the Taliban remain together

The Taliban is an Islamic fundamentalist group that ruled Afghanistan from 1996 until 2001 (Laub). They have impacted the culture in Afghanistan as well as many other aspects of it. The Taliban has certain values that they want to be enforced in Afghanistan. These values have changed since 1996 when they first took control of the country. The Taliban took control after they drove the soviets out from their country. During the time they ruled Afghanistan, they changed several aspects of daily life and imposed several conservative Muslim beliefs. Some effects of their rule are still seen in modern day Afghanistan. They are still trying to take back control over their country and drive Western ideas out. Some aspects of life the Taliban changed

Kill/Capture: How An Aggressive United States Military Initiative May Be Doing More Harm Than Good in Afghanistan

Religion “...is a spectrum of colors; changing hues end-to-end; shifting shade at every stage” (Aguilar), writes poet Chito Aquilar as he discusses life. Interpretations of religion have a large spectrum with many extremist and conservative thoughts. On one side of the spectrum of religion, a person can use religion as their sanctuary and start new beginnings from which they will use to become a more pure human being. In the darkness of the religion spectrum, people take their beliefs to the extreme in order to achieve their goal at any cost. The Taliban are an Islamic extremist group of the Pashtun culture whom have taken their beliefs beyond the realm of morality.

I don't like this being told what to do, when too do it and how. I am to scared to go outside the Taliban, they're always watching you. I know what they did to Father and I don't want that for me.

The United States has been fighting the war in Afghanistan for the past fourteen years, yet the Taliban insurgents are not defeated and the insurgency is rising. This paper examines the major reasons why the United States has not been able to defeat the Taliban insurgent group in Afghanistan since 9/11.The main players in war against the Taliban are the governments of Afghanistan, Pakistan and the United States. The Afghan Taliban insurgent group, installed and backed up by Pakistan’s government officially ruled over Afghanistan from 1996-2001. In the meantime, the Taliban endorsed and allowed Osama Bin Laden, the founder and leader of Al-Qaeda global terrorist organization to set up terrorist training camps in eastern and southern

They are sneaking across borders and into different countries to do whatever they can to take the lives of many, and anything worth making headlines to get their message across to the world. "We have heard how they lock the people of entire villages inside their houses and burn them to the ground and how they slaughter men like goats, splitting them open and leaving their blood to soak in the ground" (Staples 12). These terrible people are doing horrible things to these innocent civilians, by taking over their villages and the lives of those who lived there. The survivors are left on their own and to fight for themselves. The way the Taliban had taken away Najmah’s family was that they had bombed her home, but Najmah was luckily able to escape. “My mother lies on the ground nearby with her legs splayed at odd angles to the rest of her. She reaches her hand toward me, and opens her lips to speak. Instead of speaking words, blood pours from her mouth” (Staples 67). Imagine having to see your mother like this with what you had just witnessed on top of it. “By the time I reach her she stares with glassy, dead eyes. Habib lies motionless a few feet behind her, facedown in the dirt, his little arms flung out to his sides in the way he throws them wide when he lies naked on the cot swimming for joy in the fresh air” (Staples 67). By this
