The Taliban may very well disgust Rayaan and others, but from what I can tell, there isn't a widespread outcry among the Muslim community to stop the Taliban. Not only that, but the strict communities in Saudi Arabia turn a blind eye to the injustices done to their women in the name of a man's "honor." It's a "wink wink" patriarchal society fueled by religious lunatics. It seems to me that their governments feign outrage but in reality, it's business as usual regarding Allah-sanctioned atrocities committed by the Taliban.

Well, on the other hand, the Taliban is said to fight the US, so it also kinda makes them...anti-imperialistic. To say, this isn't really too different from the cases in which far left organisations of the past have been killing those who they deemed to be collaborators, or simply counter-revolutionary...
So from what I've heard around, some people believe that the atrocities that are described in the newspapers are simply...US propaganda, and the Taliban are a kind of green(islamic) revolutionaries that fight the imperialist NATO. However, I do believe that the Taliban, which were former trainees of the NATO, are perfectly capable of using such low methods to force local cooperation.
And they're not even a nationalistic popular front, they're said to be religious fanatics, not really concerned with building an Afghanistan, but simply to take power and do as they will, just as they did during the Soviet days...

I believe that you people put too much emphasis on religion here. To be honest, this isn't religiously motivated terrorism, crime or etc.
Such things exist in Iraq, where two moslem denominations commit atrocities towards eachother, or in Northern Ireland, or former Yugoslavia, where religion serves as a boundary to seperate different communities, and therefore, serves as the primary incentive for war, terrorism, bloodshed and everything else related to it.
Here we are, in Afghanistan.
I believe it's best if we state from the beginning that the Taliban itself is made up of the local population. So we have a case of the locals murdering the locals. And both of them are sunni moslems of the same school of thought, probably. How comes?
Religiously motivated? I think not.
