Mulla Omar

1) Come in Peace
Taliban won when the Soviets left Afghanistan in 1989
 * The people saw the Taliban as hero's due to them fighting for freedom against the Soviet's

2) Discredit Current Belief
Tribe's resulted with groups fighting for control of lands, and warlords mercilessly killed innocent people. The Taliban installed the Sharia Law which is a interpretation of the Islamic Law. Taliban said that Islam is a political idea, not just a region. The leaders of the Taliban followed Sharia law and they banned television, employment, education and sports.
 * Afghanistan used to be a tribal system

3) Recruit
Citizens fled from warfare to refugee camps where they did not receive much aid from outside sources Refugee camps were recruiting centers for the Taliban promising steady income.
 * Unemployment plummeted, people were homeless, impoverished, and starved

4) Provide Needs
Since the people were in a state of chaos, the Taliban intervention instilled consistency within Afghani lives and made the people feel safe
 * The Taliban provided the citizens of Afghanistan with food, shelter, jobs, money and safety with the agreement of their loyalty

5) Create a New Religion and Laws
Women were forced to cover their bodies and men must have beards
 * Installed the Sharia Law.

6) New Government
No elections for leadership positions, Women had no rights as seen above.
 * Mullah Omar lead the Taliban

Mulla Omar was the leader of the Taliban. He is wanted by the FBI for assisting Osama Bin-Ladin and sheltering the al-Qaeda. There is a 10 million dollar bounty out for Omar after the 9/11 attacks. No one knows much about him and few pictures have been taken of him, those that were taken are not officially of him including the one posted above. Omar is missing one eye but other then that his physical appearence.

7) Make Example
Use of public punishment Some people were stoned to death. Thieves had limbs amputated Public executions held at the Soccer Stadiums
 * Public Punishment

Stadium where numerous executions were held.
