Who created the taliban?

Answer 1

Thirteen answers and not one claim that Bush did it. Amazing! How refreshing!

Answer 2

When I read Soldier of Fortune as a kid during the cold war, the people who became the taliban were called freedom fighters. All the articles focused on the military aspects of it and nothing ideological besides, 'these people are fighting for their freedom from foreign communist rule.' Now the Taliban is actually fighting against freedom as far as I can tell.

Answer 3

It was a certain Mohammed Omar, an Afghan Islamic priest, who founded the taliban.

Answer 10

The Taliban movement was headed by Mullah Mohammed Omar. Beneath Mulla Omar were "a mixture of former small-unit military commanders and Madrasah teachers, and then a rank and file most of whom had studied in Islamic religious schools in Pakistan.
The overwhelming majority of Taliban movement were ethnic Pashtuns from southern Afghanistan and western Pakistan, along with a small number of volunteers from Eurasia to China. The Taliban received valuable training, supplies and arms from the Pakistani government, particularly the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), and many recruits from Madrasahs for Afghan refugees in Pakistan, primarily ones established by the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam JUI.

The Sharia does not allow politics or political parties. That is why we give no salaries to officials or soldiers, just food, clothes, shoes and weapons. We want to live a life like the Prophet lived 1400 years ago and jihad is our right.

In 1996, Osama bin Laden moved to Afghanistan from Sudan. He came without any invitation from the Taliban, and sometimes irritated Mullah Omar with his declaration of war and fatwa to murder citizens of third-party countries, but relations between the two groups became closer over time, and eventually bonded to the point where Mullah Omar rebuffed its patron Saudi Arabia, insulting Saudi minister Prince Turki and refusing to turn over bin Laden to the Saudis as Omar had reportedly promised to earlier.

Bin Laden was able to forge an alliance between the Taliban and his Al-Qaeda organization. It is understood that al-Qaeda-trained fighters known as the 055 Brigade were integrated with the Taliban army between 1997 and 2001.

After the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Africa, Osama bin Laden and several al Qaeda members were indicted in U.S. criminal court. The Taliban protected Osama bin Laden from extradition requests by the U.S., variously claiming that bin Laden had "gone missing" in Afghanistan, or that Washington "cannot provide any evidence or any proof" that bin Laden is involved in terrorist activities and that "without any evidence, bin Laden is a man without sin... he is a free man...

They formed during the mid to late 90's under President Bill Clinton . Their Army was growing while Clinton was cutting our Army over 40% . After the 1998 bombings , No one went to get Osama . So I guess Bush Started all this ...Poor Guy gets Blamed for everything ..
Clinton did fire a couple of cruise missles at suspected targets in Sudan and Afghanistan ..., Meanwhile Twenty days after the bombings, Uday Hussein (son of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein) praised Osama Bin Laden as "an Arab and Islamic hero." Later, Richard A. Clarke, a top Clinton administration counterterrorism official, asserted that Saddam Hussein may have helped bin Laden after the embassy bombings.

Yet many say Iraq was not involved ... Others Blame Bush for the war , yet who first implicated Hussein , As early as 1982, the Iraqi regime was openly supporting, training, and funding the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist organization opposed to the secular regime of Hafez Assad.

For years, Saddam Hussein cultivated warm relations with Hassan al-Turabi, the Islamist who was the de facto leader of the Sudanese terrorist state, and a man Bill Clinton described as "a buddy of [Osama] bin Laden's."

Iraqi leaders frequently touted their Islamist credentials. "We are blessed in this country for having the Islamic holy warrior Saddam Hussein as a leader, who is guiding the country in a religious holy war against the infidels and nonbelievers," said Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, one of Saddam's top deputies, in a public televised address to the terrorist confab. On August 27, 1998, 20 days after al Qaeda attacked the U.S. embassies in Africa, Babel, the government newspaper run by Saddam's son Uday Hussein, published an editorial proclaiming Osama bin Laden "an Arab and Islamic hero."

None of this is a secret, as the press coverage attests. But the authors of the Senate report seem determined to write it out of the history.

Radical Islamic extremist Founded the Taliban , and joined with the more radical Al-Queda , they started it , Clinton Ignored it ... Now we are paying for it ...
