How does the taliban effect the people in Afghanistan?

The problem with the Taliban is they hold a very extreme view of Islam, and they try to impose it on everyone, even those who might not share that view. For example, Islam does NOT say women cannot study, nor does it say women cannot go to school. But the Taliban are opposed to women going to school, and have burned down schools and even attacked female students. Further, the Taliban have expressed their opposition to popular music, and do not want any kind of popular culture (including television programs) to be broadcast; they believe only religious studies are permitted. Some Afghans, fed up with corrupt local governments, at first supported the Taliban, because people believed the Taliban would be honest, since they were very religious. But the Taliban proved to be eager to hold on to power, and willing to kill those who opposed them.


What religion are the Taliban fighters?

The Taliban fighters primarily adhere to Sunni Islam, specifically following a strict interpretation of the Hanafi school of thought.
