In the late 1970s and 1980s, the U.S. contributed to the rise of Muslim extremist leaders in Afghanistan primarily through its support for the Mujahideen during the Soviet-Afghan War. By providing financial aid, weapons, and training to various factions opposing the Soviet invasion, the U.S. inadvertently empowered radical elements within the Mujahideen, including groups with extremist ideologies. This support, coupled with a lack of post-war planning, created a power vacuum that allowed these leaders to gain influence and establish a foothold in the region, ultimately leading to the rise of the Taliban and other extremist factions in the 1990s.

What effect did the events of September 11 2001 have on Muslim Americans?

The events of September 11 2001, although they are political events happened under conspiracy agenda, but led to enmity feeling against Muslims. Media and biased propaganda falsified many facts about Islam and Muslims. They Accused Muslims, falsifuly, of being terrorists. The politicians exploited these events to cover their raids against Muslims all over the world, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestinian Territories, Lebanon, Pakistan, Bosnia, and many other countries. Do you think that if the same events happened by Christians, the media and politicians will accuse Christians of being terrorists and Christianity to be religion of terrorism? or if happened by Jews then they will accuse Jews for being terrorists and Judaism to be religion of terrorism?. I know the answer but I leave for you the opportunity to think about the answer and the reason behind the answer.
