The Islamic Insurgency Of Afghanistan

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?

The Taliban have four basic goals that they also view as phases. First is to utilize the devout religious commitment found in Afghanistan and Pakistan to mobilize the public. Second is to rally the Pashtun tribes through the Pashtunwali code of honor, which a Pashtun must adhere to in order to maintain his honor and identity as a Pashtun. This code includes many important facets including Nang (honor), Badal (revenge), Melmastia (hospitality), Nanawatay (to seek forgiveness), and Hamsaya (one who shares the same shadow) (30). The Taliban also hopes to further their longtime goal of toppling Kabul by “emphasizing the Pashtuns’ subjugation by a predominantly non-Pashtun government” (??) Thirdly, they hope to “build up confidence in their organization while simultaneously attacking the legitimacy of the IROA, coalition forces, and the Government of Pakistan.” (57) Lastly, “once the Western ‘crusaders’ are expelled by military means or withdraw due to

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.

Problems that the Taliban have caused, in real life, have impacted the way that many innocent people in various Arab countries used to live--long ago, life was delectable to many. People lived in a state of tranquility, and could live accompanied by one word: freedom. However, later on, and not long ago, the Taliban created a set of strict, over-the top rules that have not only completely

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

With the tales of these three individuals told, it is hard not to feel a sense of pity and uncertainty about Afghanistan and especially the United States’ role in Afghanistan. With the consensus of entering Afghanistan originally being to stop terrorism, throughout Gopal’s book it seems that the goal, or better yet, the idea of wiping terrorism away had certainly been lost. No longer does it seem that the United States is helping, rather that the U.S. is one of the main problems in the country. The details and facts listed in the book open a

In 1978, a communist government gained control of Afghanistan. The Soviet Union supported the new government, but the unrest of Afghan citizens with this regime was so great it prompted a “Jihad” or holy war(Jacobson, 31).

The Taliban founded in the year of 1994 by a man named Mullah Mohammad Omar. It originated in Afghanistan and was created with the purpose of destroying the foreign military in Afghanistan and to reestablish the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan under strict Sharia Law ("Taliban Narrative"). The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan would then be brought back into play in the year of 1996. However, the event that led to the creation of the Taliban happened almost a decade earlier in the year of 1979. In 1979 the Soviets began invading Afghanistan, they were there for about ten years and then withdrew late in the year of 1988 and early 1989. Mujahedeen forces then removed the soviet government in the year of 1992 and led to rivalry between groups. A year

The Taliban, also known as The Afghan Taliban, is a terrorist organization that occupies large areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Taliban rose to power after the Soviet Union withdrew in 1989. By 1996, an extremist group by the name The Taliban had established themselves, enforcing a rather strict and brutal for of Sharia law. This was the beginning of what would seem to be a lifetime of horror for much of Afghanistan and Pakistan, as well as the United States and the United Nations.

The Taliban is one of the largest Islamic terrorist organizations in the world, which was founded on 10/10/94. The Taliban held Osama Bin Laden Al-Qaeda’s leader. The Afghan war was the U.S.’s response for the 9/11 attack. They wanted to liberate Afghanistan and stop Osama by any means possible.

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

Presidents have sent troops to different places all over the world for various reasons. They’ve been doing it for years. Some missions have been called back and others have stayed to fight. It all has depended on what congress has decided. On October 7th, 2001, The War on Terrorism in Afghanistan began.

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
