The Taliban In Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner
“There is no act more wretched than stealing” (Hosseini 106). The Taliban did exactly that when they stole the freedom of the Afghan people. The Taliban turned out to be terrible abusers of the Afghan people and they destroyed many traditions of the Afghan culture as it was illustrated in The Kite Runner. Although they treated everyone so poorly, the Hazara people got the worst end of the Taliban reign. They turned the country against each other. They took over Kabul, they mistreated children and women and Afghanistan is even still considered a really dangerous country to live in because of the Taliban.

The windows had to be painted so they couldn’t be seen(Handout 4.1). These rules were very strict and if they were broken, there would be hell to pay. The women who broke the rule could have been whipped, stoned, or even have a limb amputated. This was way too extreme.
In the world today, Afghanistan is still a dangerous place to live. The main source of economic growth relies on illegal drug trade. Civilian casualties have actually increased in recent years and the Taliban says that they plan to continue to use Pakistan as a base for launching attacks against the United States and its allies. The United States have tried to eliminate the Taliban and al-Qaeda but have had limited success(Ebscohost). Many U.S. troops are to stay in Afghanistan and maybe more will have to travel there in order to stop the attacks. It is not a safe place to be because of terrorist groups like the Taliban.
Although Afghanistan is still a dangerous place and the Taliban continues to mistreat women and children, there have been many efforts to stop their powerful reign. They are a terrible terrorist group and need to be stopped in order
