“Anti-terrorism” is NOT part of the Taliban’s ideology[edit]
Not only have they committed many terrorist attacks themselves, but they’ve failed to uphold their agreement to not allow terrorism to thrive in Afghanistan. The “anti-terrorism” ideology should either be removed from the Taliban ideology box or it should be labeled as “alleged by the Taliban.” 76.150.79.86 (talk) 16:21, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct; the source indicates that counter-terrorism promises from Taliban is lip service. I've removed it. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 16:44, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for making the change. However, I forgot to sign into my account before posting the talk page and my IP address is visible on the talk page. I don’t know if you have the ability to do so, but if you do, could you please delete this talk page?
(Don’t be confused by the different username: I made a new account so that my IP address would be hidden and wouldn’t be associated with the account that I normally use.) Ipaddressrevealed (talk) 01:52, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This user (possibly a bot) is continuously vandalizing the page with his useless edits filled with typos and bad grammar. Can the admins please look into it and ban it if necessary? @Jpgordon — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rahman1212 (talk • contribs) 23:46, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If we're talking prose, "having close ties to [...] fundamentalism" is clunky at best and a bit bizarre at worst. Every single part of your characterization on the talk page here (including your pronoun use) is either incorrect or unfounded, as far as I can tell. It's possible other people may prefer your version of the lead itself, but that doesn't mean you get to speak to me like this. Remsense诉 00:09, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I see now. I apologize that I missed your first reply to me on your talk page. What are the grammatical errors you see? Remsense诉 00:22, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Rahman1212, do you have an answer to my question? I still prefer my version of the lede, and I wanted to hear your input before I made any additional changes. Remsense诉 06:55, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Republican insurgency should be under “battles and wars”[edit]
There’s still an insurgency campaign by pro-Islamic Republic rebels, but this isn’t included in the “battles and wars” tab. LordOfWalruses (talk) 03:19, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This page claims the Taliban follow the Athari Islamic theology when in reality they follow the Ashari and Maturidi theologies I’d like to correct this mistake 2604:3D09:881:4400:1401:2BC0:67C:8306 (talk) 03:54, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
