What is the Taliban worldview?

The Taliban worldview holds that the changes which the western world, particularly those inculcated (brought about) by the USA, have been bad for the people of Asia and other lands which have Moslem followers. Consequently, the Taliban holds that the roles of women and men need to be more systematically set out as with their view of the Koran. In that, men and women have more specific roles as well women are to be covered up when they go in public. In addition, women are not to hold certain jobs, rather it is the role of the men to have the jobs outside of the household and the women should be in the home tending to the children, cooking, cleaning and the like. The Taliban is associated with the Sunni sect of the Islamic (Moslem) religion rather than the Shiite sect which, though in the minority, holds sway in Iran and iraq. The Taliban world view is quite controversial as there are many scholars who disagree with the philosophical underpinnings of the Taliban view which holds the beliefs stated in the above paragraph. For example, some experts point out that the Koran, the Islamic holy book, has no such systematic segregation (separation) of women and men in either roles or in power or rights....thus the Taliban is at odds with those who hold their views to be an abuse of the Koran. The Taliban has often relied on its power over its followers coming at least partly from the fact that many of those who support them don't actually have the ability to read the Koran so they rely sometimes exclusively on the Taliban for their views and interpretations of the Koran.

Why did America go to war in Afghanistan after helping put the Taliban into power during the Russia-Afghanistan war?

The Americans exploited the concept of Jihad in Islam to fight the soviets and push them out of Afghanistan, However, when the Mujahedeen ( The Islamic holy fighters) won the war and started to rule, their policy did suit the Americans. For example, Taliban ( the term used now for the Mujahdeen) are sympathatic with Arabs due to Islamic ties with them. This support included anti-Israeli position and call for the Palestinan cause. Such policy made the Americans move against Taliban and declared war against them specially after what happened in 9-11 and the support Osama Bin Laden by the Taliban.

The Mujahadeen.
