Jamil Brownson writes that: >First, the taliban are a post modern formation

wouldn't it be more accurate to say "pre-modern" instead of "post-modern"?
It seems that Afghanistan hasn't had the modernist nationalist revolution of
the sort that (say) France had, creating "the French" and the French
nation-state.
