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)

Do you have any reliable sources we may use to verify that the Taliban has Ash'ari or Maturidi theology? Remsense诉 04:35, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Ideology

Should also include: Russophobia Sinophobia Hinduphobia Persophobia Antisemitism Anti-communism 2A00:23EE:17A8:9C43:B7D4:6E52:746D:C20A (talk) 16:16, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

US should be added to History section

In the "Background > Soviet intervention in Afghanistan" section, the US, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan are mentioned as supporters of the anti-Soviet effort. However, in the History section (second sentence), only Saudia Arabia and Pakistan are mentioned. Yoshtick (talk) 11:41, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Year 2024, may. Russia and other former Soviet states recognised Taliban as legitimate regime of Afghanistan and removed the taliban from terrorist list. So please remove Russia and other Soviet countries from the list

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 19:59, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
