The Taliban is mostly dominated by the Pashtun and they use their Pashtunwali which has many contradictions with the Sharia of Allah SWT. I have a friend whose father was kidnapped by the Taliban (and later released) and he told us about how some of these Taliban prefer their own tribal laws to Sharia ESP with regards to women cause they see the Sharia as too liberal. Honor Killings are haram in Islam but it's part and parcel of Pashtunwali.
History told us Invaders leave Afghanistan with its tail between its legs. Pashtuni stuck with pre islamic culture that include honor Killings and thier desire for boys who dance as girls and get raped.
