Gailon, there is nothing new under the sun. Long before the Taliban or their predecessors were invented, indeed centuries before Mohammed was born, that is what the Christians were doing. Evangelism at the edge of the sword has been the common and accepted means of hastening Christ's return. In one day, Charlemaigne had over 50,000 German villagers beheaded for not accepting Christ, and he was sainted for it. The Rhine flowed red with the blood of the innocent.
No ethnic, political or religious group is immune from becoming what the Taliban are, as the most cursory overview of history will definitively demonstrate.
