The religion of Islam has been always integrated into the political and educational system of the country. Afghanistan's constitution is derived from Islamic Sharia laws, which has combined religious and secular systems. The amalgamation of religion and politics in Afghanistan has caused decades of instability...

When we look at the situation in Afghanistan it's hard not to wonder how USA and its allies still can't win after nine years of war. On the one side we have USA and NATO countries with powerful economies and great military capabilities.

However, if we look closer we can see that Talibans have capabilities to stay in the game and...
