Is Hitler worse than the taliban?
YES, the Nazis are worse. The Taliban were known for being locally repressive towards the entire population in a backwards way. The Nazis were known for segregating the population into groups, treating the majority well and then proceeding to massacre the minority. They founded an empire based on constant belligerence and used modern, industrial power to create a war machine that killed more civilians and more soldiers than any other war in history.

During the french revolution, revolutionary fever was rising higher and higher. With the monarchy and its governemnt in moral and financial collapse, the service also collapsed which added to the chaos. Mobs began to form, for there was no restraint on what they could or couldn't do because of the service of the government. The king and Assembly would not united for they both held each other suspicious. The king was persuaded to take some of his guards and put them on the streets of Paris to show strength and power. But the workers and craftsmen seized every weapon they could find and attacked.
Why did Timothy McVeigh bomb the Oklahoma City federal building?
At the trial of Timothy McVeigh, the US Government asserted that McVeigh's motivation for the attack was to avenge the deaths two years earlier of Branch Davidians near Waco, Texas, whom he believed had been murdered by agents of the federal government.
By his own admission, he was seeking to punish the US Government for their actions at Waco and Ruby Ridge. Oklahoma City was viewed as the American Heartland, the Muir Building housed the ATF and DEA offices, lacked physical security, was built adjacent to the street which provided proximity for his truck bomb to be effective and would minimize civilian deaths. His plan had paid little attention to the presence of a children's nursery (or he may have valued it as a psychological benefit). Because he had personally scouted out the building it is difficult to accept his statement that he did not know of the children's presence.

Answer 2
There is no way the Taliban can be considered "good". They were women haters. Girls were not allows to go to school. /women had to covered in black from head to toe, including covering their faces. Women could not leave the house without a male relative. Women could not work, even if there was no male member of the household to provide for them. Men had to wear their hair and beard to precise orders. Music and dancing was not allowed. No opposition was allowed. No freedom of speec,h press, assembly, etc. The Taliban were ruthless. Public hangings and stonings were common.
Men who join the Taliban are the worst of sadistic psychopaths. They enjoy violence, murder, and keep the population terrified. There is no Muslim country that wants the return of the Taliban.

The Unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government or civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.
Terrorism is not new, and even though it has been used since the beginning of recorded history it can be relatively hard to define. Terrorism has been described variously as both a tactic and strategy; a crime and a holy duty; a justified reaction to oppression and an inexcusable abomination. Obviously, a lot depends on whose point of view is being represented. Terrorism has often been an effective tactic for the weaker side in a conflict. As an asymmetric form of conflict, it confers coercive power with many of the advantages of military force at a fraction of the cost. Due to the secretive nature and small size of terrorist organizations, they often offer opponents no clear organization to defend against or to deter. After 9/11, The US Judge Advocate General's office added to the various legal definitions of "terrorist", the need for the accused to be operating out of uniform of the military organization of which he was a member. This in turn raised the issue of, what constitutes a legal military -- something not problematical in the US, Europe, etc. but very difficult in monarchies where many people in the royal family are entitled to their own military retinue. It was further noted that all special operations units (who understandably resent being called terrorists) tend to occassionally operate out of uniform. As such, there is no solid, legal definition of the term that I can find at this time. Terrorism is something which is basically used to justify the oppressors actions against the oppressed

Why does the Taliban hate women?
You can't claim that Taliban hate women. It is the practice and tradition in Afghanistan for woman not to work and not to go for high level education. These local traditions were the same in many countries, even in Europe, some centuries ago. The Afghan people should be allowed enough time to go through the natural cycle of development rather than causing country long suffering of extensive wars.
What type of group is the taliban?
Al Qaeda is a terrorist group that was led by the now killed Osama bin Laden. Al Qaeda is responsible for the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon Building. Osama bin Laden was assassinated by U.S. troops before 9-11-11, which would be the 10th anniversary and another attack.
Well for the most part the Taliban's weapon of choice is theAK-47, some left by the Soviets during the Soviet-Afghan War. Some Soviet weapons were also provided by the US Government (By way of semi Soviet Friendly States like Egypt in secret at the time) and some insurgents were even known to use British Lee Enfeild Rifles that were nearly a century old, but that was before they got they're hands on the Soviets SVD-Dragunov Sniper Rifles). The Soviet RPG-7 is used as an anti-tank weapon, (as well as a few Stinger Rocket Launchers used for ant-air atacks very rarley now though, as they were provided by the US during the Soviet-Afghan War). RPK Machine Guns have also been found in Taliban hideouts. However more recently, newer versions of these soviet weapons (or cheap clone copies of them) have been smuggled in from Iran. Chinese-Soviet clone assault rifles have also been found in the hands of the Taliban. But basically...what they're using for the most part is any old standard Soviet equipment that Eastern Bloc countries used. That and whatever improvised explosives they could make (but IED's are more commonly used in Iraq).
Hope that helps,

Actually, they primarily use the akm-a steel pressing version; the ak-47 used a solid piece of steel for the body (lightens the weight by about 1 1/2 kilos), as well as the ak-74-a 5.45 mm derivative. Ever seen an ak with an orange magazine??? There's your ak-74)) Also, don't forget light machine guns like the RPK, DP-46, DPG and RPK-74))
I've seen 7.62x54 PK machine guns(and variants/clones/later models) in the hands of Taliban. Also, they use DShK heavy machine guns and other heavy Soviet heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft guns.
The Provisional Irish republican army (IRA), was formed in 1969 after it split from the Official Irish republican army (OIRA) over the OIRAs failure to protect Irish nationalist areas from attack by british loyalists and the police the Royal ulster constabulary (RUC). The Real Irish republican army (RIRA) split from the provisional IRA in 1997 after the IRA called a ceasefire and entered into the northern Ireland peace process. The Real IRA (RIRA) continue to use armed struggle to free northern Ireland from british rule, they attack british military, political and economic targets throughout northern Ireland and are believed to be preparing to bomb the british mainland. The Provisional IRA have ceased their armed campaign, have decommisioned most of their weapons and have moved into peaceful politics through their political party Sinn Fein. The Real IRA regard the provisionals as sell outs of republicanism and believe themselves to be the legitimate army in the struggle for Irish freedom.
In short, the Real IRA are still fighting, the Provisional IRA have stopped.
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.
Are the taliban sunni Muslims?
Answer:
The Taliban do adhere to the fundamental principles of Islam, so they are, technically, Muslims. They do not violate any principle belief, or religious practice.
HOWEVER . . . . they are not properly educated in Islam, and they are very reactionary. They clearly do not understand that a lot of what they are doing is simply wrong, in Islam. That's why they do incorrect things - like attack girls' schools, etc.
