I've read passages from the Quran prohibting these things. Am I correct to assume that both the Taliban does these things and they are considered haram by Islam? Again I am not so sure that is why I am here. The quote listed above is not my conclusion nor my own words, it is a conclusion I believe to be true and am trying to back up. Any help from passages from the Quran or just examples of how you think the Taliban in some ways contradicts Islam is very much appreciated.
