Hello,

using a mullah? to interpret Islamic teachings even though he has no direct bearing to the line of the prophet As far as I understand a Mullah is a translation for scholar. If he is a scholar he is an inheritor of the Prophet (pbuh). Family lineage has no bearing on whether or not someone can comment or enforce Islamic Law.
homosexuality (and with boys) This is false.

It was an ancient tradition banned by the Taliban but now it's back: Ghaith Abdul-Ahad reports from northern Afghanistan on the hiring out of young male dancers by older men

...

As more vodka was drunk, the party grew louder. Its host - a former Taliban commander now in alliance with the Afghan government and Americans - chatted jovially to his guests, mainly local farmers and shopkeepers. Then one of the men produced a sitar and a dancer entered the room.


barring woman from education This is also false.
"Now you've asked me about the rights of women's education and the rights of women's work. Unlike what is said here, women do work in Afghanistan. You're right that until 1997 I mean, in 1996 when we captured the capitol Kabul, we did ask women to stay home. It didn't mean that we wanted them to stay at home forever, but nobody listened to us. We said that there is no law, and there is no order, and have to stay at home. They were raped before us, everyday. So, after we disarmed the people, and after we brought law and order, and now women are working. You are right that women are not working in the ministry of defense, like here. We don't want our women to be fighter pilot[s], or to be used as objects of decoration for advertisements. But they do work. They work in the Ministry of Health, Interior, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Social Affairs, and so on. So, and we don't have any problem with women's education. We have said that we want education, and we will have education whether or not we are under anybody's pressure, because that is part of our belief. We are ordered to do that. When we say that there should be segregated schools, it does not mean that we don t want our women to be educated. It is true that we are against co-education; but it is not true that we are against women's education. We do have schools even now, but the problem is the resources"---Quoted from Sayyid Rahmatullah Hashemi , who was roaming Ambassador to the Taliban
