I've read passages from the Quran prohibting these things.

please post the reference for these prohibitions.

Am I correct to assume that both the Taliban does these things and they are considered haram by Islam?

you must have some sort of evidence however flimsy it may be to accuse the taliban of anything. so please post your evidence.

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..

whose conclusion is it?
whose words are they?
you accept something to be true without it being backed up and then you try to find evidence to back it 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.

cite the contradictions first with evidence. there is no point passing judgement on a false premise.
