    What Terrorist Tolerant term has the White House started using for their Al Qaeda friends this week?

  • 6 years ago

    The Taliban is not necessarily a terrorist group. They are a political movement that was born after the CIA funded and trained them to force the USSR out of Afganistan in '89. From there, a young veteran of the war named Mullah Omar established the Taliban as the undisputed government in Afganistan, and proclaimed that he was endowed by Allah to lead the country. He aimed to revert the country back to the time of the prophet Mohammud and officially eradicate ALL western influence. They were removed from power by NATO following 9/11. However, they are slowly but ruthlessly resurfacing as NATO draws down. The Taliban consists predominately of Pashtun tribesman. There are also Jiahdist and Sunni Muslims in the group as well.
