My life with the Taliban

         I started to read the book "my life with the taliban" written by mullah abdul salam zaef in this book mullah zaef talks not only about the taliban but also about his entire life. In this book he explains many of the idolegies and policies of the taliban which i read more  about later and now know that the western media and goverments are twisting and lying about to make the taliban seem "evil" so people wont get mad at the governments for invading and doing illigal and many inhumane evil things in afganistan. the mullah also talks about his experinces fighting the comunists when he was fighting Jihad at age 14.When the americans atacked 16 years later they did many many cruel  types of torture to him and lots of other inicent people. The invaders are trying to use  propaganda and lies to justify the war in afganistan and make people belive the taliban are evil.After doing more reasearch I found out the war is going terrible for the invaders and much worse then what the goverment makes it seem.

Justice in a thousand splendid suns

                The justice in the book A Thousand splendid Suns  is complecated since the characters are in Afghanistan when the Taliban are in control and there justice is an extremely brutal punishments which were suported  by radical muslims but were not suported my most muslims including the 2  main characters. 1 of the charcters was executed by the taliban for killing her husband who went crazy and tryed to kill her and his other wife. The taliban knew that character wasnt evil but said if justice is'nt served it will happen to  the taliban by god even thow, she was just trying to protect herself and family.
