"The Taliban's version of Islamic law, or Shari'a, is historically inaccurate, contradictory, self-serving, and fundamentally deviant from prevailing interpretations of Islamic law and practice." I believe this to be the case as most Muslims would but am having difficult finding appropriate links for my research. Could some Muslims tell me in what ways the Talibans practices have directly contradicted even Sharia law? I have these examples listed so far: Selling of opiates Prostitution using a mullah? to interpret Islamic teachings even though he has no direct bearing to the line of the prophet homosexuality (and with boys) barring woman from education Has anyone here seen the film Osama by Siddiq Barmak as well?
