I also do not believe that the Taliban are completely without a trace of Nate's description. I just think that, as a rule, they'd see things in general as either good or bad, but not really as a mix of good and bad. I grew up in a worldview that was similarly inflexible, where an action was either a good action or an evil one, but never "kind of good" or "kind of evil"; we might be uncertain about which side it's on, or wrong about it, but the fuzziness isn't ascribed to the action or the Deity's view of the action. Possibly for this reason, I don't actually view the Taliban's beliefs as "alien", or hard to understand. I just have goals that conflict with their goals.
