The other two reasons that Taliban refused to give up bin laden are religious and family reason. I have already mentioned that both share same religious values and both are radical and extremist. Taliban believes that it is against their religion if they hand over the person who are in their protection. According to them, it is their duty to protect bin laden because he came there to seek protection from Taliban. Another reason the Taliban refuse to give up bin laden is because of family connection. One of the bin laden’s children has married with one of the Omar’s children. So there are both religious as well as family connection between them that’s why Omar has provided Bin laden with a safe haven in which to operate, and has allowed him to establish terrorist training camps in Afghanistan. In return for the Taliban support, bin laden operate freely for terrorist activity.
After Taliban government came into the power, they imposes hard rules on its people taking away many freedoms from the people. Women are forced to wear gown, covering themselves from head to toe. Men can be put in jail for not having a long beard. Everything from musical instruments to playing cards has been banned. For women, the restrictions are even harsher. Female education, from kindergarten through graduate school banned. Employment for women banned. It is illegal to wear make up, nail polish, jewelry, walk loudly, talk loudly or laugh in public. They were only allowed out in company of male relatives. Women can be arrested and get 100 lashes, if she walked with man who was not her relative and the tip of finger can be amputated for the crime of wearing nail polish.
They treat women even worse than animal. They treat women so poorly because they think women are like an object, it should be kept at home and is not supposed to be taken out of the house. They are the things of distraction which is an obstacle between them and god. They can drove men away from their religious path. According to Talibans, women were a temptation and unnecessary distraction from being of service of god. Women are exclude from religious circle because they would be disruptive to males in their devotion to their god. They used to believe that when man and woman is together evil is always between them, that’s why Taliban used to treat women so poorly in Afghanistan.
After the coming of Taliban into the power, women and girls are forbidden to go to school or work outside of the home. They have been ordered to stay inside. They believe that there are only two places for Afghan women to go one is in her husband’s house and other is graveyard. Many of women don’t have any alternative but to stay inside. Number of women teacher and lecturers were the highest before the Taliban came into the power. More than 70% of school teachers were women and all of them are forced to quit their jobs as teachers. Therefore, after women are prohibited from working, many schools have been closed down because of the teacher shortage. Actually, in most of the Afghan house women are the sole source of income for their families which were later turned to beggar to support their family. And the same way, most of the Afghan children have been deprived from the education.
