Answer 4

The Taliban was originally a group of Mujahedins, they were Afghan refugees who were also Islamic fundamentalist militants, however, the Taliban eventually rose to power by capturing cities, with the help of the Pakistan army, then, they declared themselves, as they grew in power, to be the legitimate government of Afghanistan. since 1996. Their goal was to create the world's most pure Islamic state, where their fanatical laws, in obedience to Islamic religion, forbade "Westernizing"{ really, Americanizing} influences, such as television, independence of women{they had to wear head-to-toe gowns, {I bet that sh!t was hot as hell!}, they couldn't wear white socks, {WTF?}, they were not allowed at schools, or at the workplace, if a woman had to go to the doctor, she had to have her son, husband, or her father with her , to speak for her. If a man trimmed his beard, he' go to jail. On the forbidden list: blasphemy, musical instruments,photographs,chess boards,playing cards, nail polish, neckties, if you go to a soccer game, all you could yell is,"Allah-u-akbar"{god is great} Freedom of speech? Hell Naw, that's definitely out! Punishment for breakin' the rules? Public execution, including Death by caning, or stoning {damn, ouch!}. Punishment for theft? They chop off your offending hand that got caught! {OK, they scary as hell to me!} The Mujahedins are the "Freedom Fighters", fundamentalist militants also, but American-backed Mujahedin are an assortment of groups that fought each other from 1992-1996, when the Taliban wrenched control out of their hands. They hold about 5% of Afgan Territory. The rivalry between the Taliband and the Mujahedin is more cultural, and ideological than anything else, that's why sometimes we get confused trying to figure out who's who! The southern part of Afghanistan is more as the Taliban would have it, and the northern part more diverse{Mujahedin} There is no secular authority in Afghanistan at this time. The Mujahedin don't want to live all tight-up, crazy fanatical Islamic, and, though I agree with that, why, as always, is America all up in the business, trying to Americanize all their @sses, and build a "civilized" government, and control some sh!t, as usual, and our sons are over there dying, being senselessly butchered, because of it? I wish they would pull our men the *** out, it's really not our fight, damn!
