(1/4) > >>

Assalamulakum brother...... I was reading about the girl from Afganistan that was on the cover of that one magazine as a teenager, and then 17 years later they found her, and because of war and poverty, she looked like a whole nother person.  She said life was better living under the Taliban.  A couple questions came to mind....

1.  Was your way of life similar to hers when you lived there?  Living in villages?  Surrounded by War?  Poverty?

2.  Was it better there when the Taliban was in power?  I've heard from Muslims immigrants at the mosque say that it was.

You can delete this thread and just PM me if you want.  Or just answer here.

Salaam- 1 G-d.

Bro, no she didn't.  She said it was terrible under the Taliban and hoped things would improve.

well, ive only been in Afghanistan for 2 months, when i visited there 7 years ago

At that time, the Taliban had just taken over my City of Ghazni and they were advancing on Kabul


As soon as the Taliban arrived, Banditry and Looting, attacks, rapes etc etc disappeared

The Taliban brougth stability and law and order.  At first they were welcomed by the people, so when i was there, they were seen as liberators

However, they overstayed their welcome, and apparently people got tired of them but when i was there, they got love


And yeah, she was a Pushtun like me, Tribal village folk,
War surrounding us, living near the mountains, the whole 9

That isn't what I read.  I could be wrong, but I could of sworn she said things were best under the Taliban, that they brought stability for the first time in years.
