You've already made up your mind, Yahudi. You know the answer before you even ask the queston. Why don't you just be honest and state how much you hate Muslims and Islam. You keep revisiting the same issue, again and again, as if to prove to us that infact we ("we" as in Muslims) are a bunch of savage, stuck in the 6th century, closed-minded, extremists. oh, and Muslim males are wifebeaters and hell-bent on converting infidels at the point of a sword... mmm, and we Muslim gals can't think for ourselves, we need someone to make all the decisions for us. Any other stereotypes i forgot?

Do you live in an area where these restrictions are imposed? If not, then pipe down, and listen to those who have lived with the Taliban...They will tell you how much they loved the Talib...

True that. You better watch out your statements yahudi.
Did Taleban never exist in Islamic history before Afghanistan or it will not surface in future?
Problem with our Muslim friends on this gupshup board is that they start fighting against the individual.
I challenge the system.
Off course murmuring will not help you.

Problem with anti-Muslim elements on this board is that they believe every single word uttered by media against Muslims and are blinded enough to be not able to see on the other side of the road.

The word "Talibaan" just mean students. The views enforced by Talibaan are agreed to by a large number of people in those areas and elsehwere. Maybe not to such rigorous extent, but in most conceptual details.
Given an opportunity to be democratic, there will be more so-called "talibanization" in that area.
The taliban state was a poor interpretation of islam. In answer to your original question, education of muslim men and women is a must in islam. So stopping that was unislamic. Prophet Mohammed married a working lady (Trader) so there is nothing in islam stopping women working. Discovery and science is also encouraged and infact many great discoveries were made by muslims. People of other faiths have rights within the islamic system. Pictures were not seen upon favourably in early islam do discourage idols and idolatry.
A state similar to the Taliban state has not existed in modern history. If you want to go back 2000 years then there were many states much worse than Taliban that existed and they were not islamic!! I don’t think a similar state will surface in the future - but you never know- such states are a product of years of civil war and chaos. Again there are probably many regimes (in Central Africa) that are much worse in terms of human rights that do not get the bad press as they are not islamic. The main reason for the Taliban regime was not religion but was the political and economic woes of the country in question.
I hope this answers your questions (assuming that you really wanted to know and were not just trying to make a point :french: )

how did you forget:
destroy Budha statues (1000s year of history, civilization, ....tion, ...tion etc.)?
Taleban….let us not roam around the cotemporary illusion. Wherever Islam has raised sword, Taleban has surfaced.
Aurangzeb was a Taleban, he demolished temples, killed his elder brother because he (his brother) was a Kufr as per his version of Islam, prohibited music and theater, implemented Jazia, what else you expect from a Taleban.
Ayattollah Khomeiny of Iran was also a Taleban; otherwise Iran might not have seen the worst blood bath of centuries.
Quran was the constitution of Taleban in Afghanistan. Are you sure that Quran allows education for all.
For many Muslims, Afghanistan of Taleban was a sacred land. They used to call it ‘Land of Allah’.
If Islam is a religion of peace, the Muslim community must raise this issue, instead of finding faults with others.

For all Muslims, the whole world is "Land of Allah".
Ok yahudi lets not only criticise, give us an idealogy which you think is better than islamic philosophy. All questions and no answers is the worst kind of debate.
So Hitler (a Catholic) shed no blood, the French revolution was bloodless, the Russian revolution was bloodless, etc. etc. and these people were also from the Taleban.
Sadya, you have raised good points.
Hitler massacre has no comparison. Do you know that Fascist propaganda is banned in many civilized countries, especially in Germany?
Same is the stage of communist ideology in ex-communist regime states. (Not banned, but disliked overall.)
People have accepted that these ideologies are faulty and procure a definite bloodshed.
These ideologies give an easy chance to the commanding authority to accuse the opponents of guilty. And the result is an easy bloodshed.
The same way for Muslims it is very easy to find a Kufr, if disbelievers are not around, then among Muslims.
The ideology gives you a chance, and the result is bloodshed.
By the way, all examples you have raised had a political structure. Yours is worse being a religion, more difficult to deal with.
Taleban is general Islam.
