Overall it's an interesting review, but saying that 99% of Afghanis want Sharia Law and citing an unsourced claim in a blog post is poor writing and undermines the author's credibility, which is unfortunate.
Edit: The cited blog actually does cite a research poll, my mistake! https://www.unz.com/isteve/why-the-taliban-won-sharia-is-democratic-will-of-99-of-the-people/ https://www.unz.com/isteve/why-the-taliban-won-sharia-is-dem...

I think the better analogy is what a Fox News viewer thinks a word like "liberal", "BLM" or whatever buzzword or label represents and what the people who use it to describe themselves mean by it. That broadens and distorts further than the real difference between two people within a community or faith.
