The Creation Of The Taliban

Taliban was an Islamic Fundamental Political movement in Afghanistan. While they had the power of Afghanistan they had imposed strict laws which were called the Islamic laws.Taliban mostly consisted of Afghan tribal men. Soon after that Al Qaeda set of to support them. Saudi Arabia supported them financially, but Taliban use that wealth to wipe out the afghan civilians.

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.

The Taliban are a part of history and people should be aware of who they are and what they do. The Taliban has evolved over the years and unfortunately have grown stronger over the years. They started off as a group of students and it is sad to know that these students who could have started with a good future ended up being a part of a terrorist group. They think they are doing right because they may read the Quran but they only focus on the words and passages they want to hear and say to defend their terrorist group without reading the passage or verse fully and trying to understand the real words of Allah. The Taliban have been around for a long time and as a result the Taliban havetaken over territory such as Afghanistan and many others. One of the territories the Taliban has is Afghanistan and the government is seen as corrupted because they help the Taliban. Corruption may exist anywhere but would the Afghan government be supporting the Taliban with weapons because they want to or because of fear?

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 situation in Afghanistan actually began in 1979 when the Soviet Union invaded their country. The United States funded money to the "mujahedin," or holy warriors, in the name of stopping communism. From this support, Afghanistan was able to defeat the Soviet Union in 1989. Yet the country became very unstable after the war. Political power was fluctuating often and leaders came in and out of power rapidly. Farmers resorted to growing many drugs such as poppies and marijuana and sold them around the globe. Cities were annihilated. Over five million Afghanis fled to other countries in search of a better life. When the Afghanis turned to the United States for help in rebuilding our country, we refused. This caused great anger amongst the Afghani people directed toward the United States. This also lead to Mullah Mohammod Omar, the current leader of Afghanistan, to form a ground of men to "rebuild" his country. They are now known as the Taliban. Omar's personal description is, "A simple band of dedicated youths determined to establish the laws of God on

Taliban means students and this name was chosen to symbolize how they were going to learn from their ancestors and take back their land and prevent it from being taken again. THey then engaged in Jihad, or “Holy war”, to take back afghanistan. Not long after the assault began they regained control of most of the upper part of afghanistan. Other factions had also risen and a war of multiple fronts started and thats how it was so quick to regain control. The area of Afghanistan was once again split into 3 major territories and completely obliterated. The Taliban then became a superpower, in relative terms to its opponents, and began to take control of all the Afghanistan territory. Uniting it, but at a cost. It promised to have a strict interpretation of the Quran, the Islamic holy book. But soon became corrupt and only became abusive to women and children and severely disadvantaged the males. To fund this foul government they allowed terrorists to take refuge, one such group was al-Qaeda. Headed by Osama bin-Laden, he began to lead the Taliban government from behind the scenes and he, along with interpretations from the Quran, was that the

The Taliban is an extremist Islamic group highly emphasizing a strong interpretation of sharia law that arose in the early 1990s after the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan. Referencing the BBC article, a common belief holds that the Taliban first emerged in religious seminaries that preached a hard line of Sunni Islam. The Taliban’s promise to Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the surrounding area was to restore peace and security using their interpretation of the sharia law once they were in power (“Who Are the Taliban?”). Along with the many new policies and regulations of society, there arose a new interpretation of the role of women in society. Women became very restricted and had to live in a way that was extremely submissive to men to the point where it was almost dehumanizing, as many would argue. Although the Taliban has been out of control in Afghanistan since December of 2001, remnants of their oppression towards women remain. In this paper, I will demonstrate the Taliban’s remaining effects in Afghan society regarding many aspects of everyday life, such as the workforce, education, healthcare, and human rights. To begin, I will give a brief overview of how Afghan women participated in society before the Taliban came to power. I will then provide information and examples that shed light on women’s life during Taliban rule. In the final section of this paper, I will describe how the lifestyle of women has changed as a result of the Taliban’s oppressive laws and

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

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.

Imagine this… Imagine a world where you do not go to school due to the fear being bombed, or being shot to death by an intruder. Over the years, little by little, this has started happening. In just a little over 14 years, America itself has had 2 major terrorist attacks, and many terrorism threats. The people who came upon the idea of persecuting these people are called terrorists, and are part of numerous different groups. One of the terrorist groups, called the Taliban, which is led by Mullah Mohammed Omar, had enforced many harsh rules among thousands of innocent people whom they have kidnapped and are now under their rule. Punishment for breaking these rigorous rules, usually results in forced death. This is the situation in the

The Taliban has been fighting the righteous fight to reclaim Afghanistan since the American 's unlawful invasion of 2001. Opposition to the United States and the current Afghan Ghani

Before the US invasion, life for the population of Afghanistan was hell under the rule of the Islamic fundamentalist Taliban. This imposed reactionary religious restrictions and the suffocating social relations under the death penalty with a savagery that was recorded in the collective memory of the world through the stoning in stadiums against women accused of "crimes" like adultery. In addition, the Taliban imposed a feudal economic relations that kept shackled and impoverished peasants. While his schedule sometimes entered strong conflict with that of the United States, essentially the Taliban did not object to the general rule of Afghanistan by imperialism. In fact, he had been eager to make deals with the United States on pipelines and on other fronts. After the September 11, 2001, the Taliban government in Afghanistan did not become intolerable for the US imperialists because of its completely reactionary nature and all the horrors it brings to the people of Afghanistan. Indeed, a factor that contributed to the rise of the Taliban and other Islamic fundamentalist forces were economic support, military organization and provided the Islamic Mujahideen from the United States and Saudi Arabia (on many occasions by the Pakistani intelligence services) in their fighting against the Soviet Union in the 80s when the United States sought to beat a rival imperial power and more control over the Middle East and Central Asia. Moreover, the US government directly supported the

The novel “The other Side of the Sky” is an incredible story of a young Afghan refugee named Farah who faced a harrowing journey had been forced to flee her home with her mother because of the dangers they faced with the Taliban. The start of it all happened after the traumatic war in Afghanistan, when a group of individuals decided on creating a new society based off of their principles and cultural ways of the Islamic law. This is when a group became known as the Taliban, and was finally official between the mid-1990's (Taliban). New laws were then established for the men and women in Afghanistan, much harsher than they had been before. Women became looked down apon a great amount than what it had been before, and the

In an age when mankind has the ability to completely annihilate itself through nuclear combat, war can be a more terrifying and powerful thought than ever before. Unfortunately, because of the extent of the actions that the Taliban has committed against both America and its own followers, the United States’ war against terrorism seems to be a necessity. I do feel, however, as if there are many things that can be done by the American government in the near future to peacefully approach a more civil and politically involved Afghanistan. Although my feelings on a war against terrorism are mixed, I do feel that significant actions must be taken in order to restrict the spread of
