A Radical Muslim group that rose to power in Afghanistan in the 1990s was the Taliban.
This group says that they are Muslims, but in reality they are not. They are trying to establish a Muslim Caliphate by force, killing innocent civilians in the process. This goes against the principles of Islam, where killing is a major sin in the eyes of God (Allah).

∙ 13y agoThe extremist group that seized control of Afghanistan during the 1990s was the Taliban. They are not an Islamic group, because they go against many Islamic principles, like the fact that they kill innocent people. This is called Qatl un-Nafs in Arabic and it is one of the Major sins (Al-Kaba'ir) in Islam. Now, however, the media portrays them as Islamic extremists because they are trying to establish a Caliphate in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Middle East.

What group seized control of Afghanistan in 1996?
After years of civil strife, the Taliban, a violent Islamic organisation, took over control of Afghanistan in 1996. The Taliban, a group of predominantly Pashtun militants who fought against the many warlords vying for control of Afghanistan after the withdrawal of Soviet troops in 1989, emerged from Islamic schools (madrasas) in Pakistan. When the Taliban first gained notoriety as a political and military organisation in 1994, they had already seized control of the majority of the nation and the capital city of Kabul, creating the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. The Taliban's administration was distinguished by the rigid application of their interpretation of Islamic law, which included the enslavement of women, the outlawing of music and television, and the severe punishment of dissidents. Only Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates recognised the Taliban as a legitimate administration.
