Bismillah
John let me try and settle this issue for u here.
Not every single Muslim around the world is abiding by, agreeing fully, or let us say acting like a Muslim.
Mind u this is the case since the wake of humanity. For actually islam is the only religion Allah Ordained for mankind.
Even at the time of the Messenge prayer and peace be upon him, there were cases of robbery, sex outside of the wedlock, flirting etc. Mankind is mankind.
Now at the present time, there is a huge number of Muslims by heritage who are not praticing any aspect of Islam.
I will give u an example, I work as a translator which makes me exposed to a large sepctrum of people ranging from those working for international orginzations to NGOs etc. I met many of them who dont pray, fast or ..etc. Yet for instance I worked on a task with a woman who was married, she didnt practice, but she was discussing with me how we, women, must rally to insert the right to divorce oneself in a marriage contract. She told me that she stipulated this in her marriage contract.
Actually I didnt discuss with her how she is actually shopping around. She chooses what pleases her from the Islamic rights while she does not pay her dues.
So such organizations do exist, there are even Muslim women who dont believe that women Islamic dress code is even an obligation from Allah.
I just tried to communicate why those women may be against some of the regime's principle. I m not for or against Taliban. As I explained to u before.
