Thats actually because of the ignorance of the common people about laws protecting minorities in islam.beacuse of this they cannot challenge the talibs which gives them a free hand.
part of the talib problem is the alienation and ignorance of common people from religion which gives these people their steady stream of willing recruits.
Solving the talib problem is not secularization but rather islamization, which if properly enforced will eliminate the support of talib in the longterm.
