Is the Taliban left-wing or right-wing?

The Taliban are Wahhabi Sunni Muslims created by the US to confront Russia forces.

They are probably closest to being religious theocrats, so that would make them "right-wing" in the most general sense. In terms of social action, they were extremely conservative, banning women's education and actively hunting down homosexuals and apostates. However, unlike most right-wing groups, they had no desire to strengthen corporations, grow the economy, or any other "right-wing" economic policy.

The Right-Wing in most developed (and even developing) countries is nowhere near as barbaric and cruel as the Taliban.

What were the two main goals of Bolshevik terrorism prior to the October revolution?

Violence and terrorism were used by the Bolsheviks prior to the 1917 October revolution mostly as a means to finance their activities and secondarily as a political weapon. Stalin seemed to lead the way in this via robberies. The Bolsheviks would intercept rubles in transit between banks. The were "bank robbers". Just like today's terrorists, the Bolsheviks used bombs. Their terrorist "center" was tagged the Bolshevik Center. This group was headed by Lenin, Krassin, and Bogdanov. The Bolshevik Center was a defacto dictatorship that operated within the Party's Central Committee. Their main office was in St. Petersburg and manufactured 150 bombs per day.

Other sources of funds were from embezzlement, extortion and blackmail. This was aided by the purely criminal elements that were attracted to reaping financial gains from Bolshevik activities.

In the underground organizations that permeated Russia. The fact that the Bolsheviks were known to be willing to use violence and terror added to their disruptive activities gave them more power when it came to leading and controlling strikes and street demonstrations.

What weapons did the Taliban use?

Majority of their weapons that I've seen were originally Soviet designs, but manufactured in China or Pakistan - who had traditionally been their main suppliers. They would also have weapons of Soviet/Russian manufacture, typically either left behind after the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, or captured from Northern Alliance forces (who the Russians continued to provide materiel to during the civil war which ensued after the 1989 Soviet withdrawal). We also captured a fair number of Enfield rifles, both of British and Pakistani manufacture.

How did Israel deal with terrorism?

Israel knows how to deal with terrorism better than the United States. Back in the early 1980's, Israel bombed one of Saddam Hussein's facilities known to be producing weapons of mass destruction; perhaps this is one reason the U.S. never found such weapons when invading the country 25 years later. It weakened Hussein beyond repair--not just the bombing, but the threat of another one down the road.

Who is stronger hezbollah or israel?

It entirely depends on how you define "strength".

The Israeli Army is certainly much better armed than Hezbollah and while Israel has invaded Lebanon in ground invasions, Hezbollah has never attempted a ground invasion of Israel. Hezbollah has no army that could contest Israel in traditional international combat (such as was seen during World War II for example). However, Hezbollah's effectiveness lies in its ability to blend into local areas and put its men into locations not easily discoverable to Israeli soldiers. This was why the 2006 Hezbollah-Israel War has usually been seen as a stalemate or slight Hezbollah victory even though all fighting occurred in Lebanon and Hezbollah incurred many more casualties; Israel was not able to remove Hezbollah from Lebanon as it had previously been able to remove the PLO from Lebanon in 1982.

However, to me, strength is about the idea to form a society where people desire peace and love in their lives even when their neighbors try to act divisively. In this way, Israel is clearly stronger. Regardless of any particular Israeli government, the leadership of the Israeli Army is disinclined from international conflict and openly differs to a civilian government that wants long-term peace (whose conditions vary with the politics of the day). Hezbollah has made clear that they are wholly disinterested in any peace or settlement, saying in their organizational charter that even if all of the Islamic countries made peace with Israel (including a future Palestine), they would continue to fight to oppose Israel.

Why did the Taliban steal everything?

What can the French Government do to stop and prevent the Islamic Terrorism Crisis in France?

There is NO Islamic Terrorism. Terrorism has no religion. No religion of the world permits killing of innocent human beings. Islam teaches that all human beings are the off-spring of a single couple- Hazrat Adam AS and Hazrat Eve AS. They are all brothers. According to the teachings of the Qur'an, the holiest and most sacred Book of Islam, killing of One innocent human being (irrespective of his caste, color, religion, region, country, is like killing all human race. I am a Muslims. I strongly condemn the ruthless killing of innocent human beings, be it in Paris, London, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan or any other part of the world. I feel for the bereaved families and the departed souls. Many Muslim countries are facing terrorism, especially in Pakistan thousands of Muslims have been killed by the so-called Muslims. Let us raise our voice jointly against terrorism in the world. Let us try to wipe out hatred from this unfortunate planet. All humans have been created by Almighty God, and He loves them all. The merciless murder of innocent people in Paris has shocked every human being, irrespective of religion.
