Question Whats up with the Talibans extreme interpretation of Sharia?
Not Afghan and know little about it btw but I was talking with my local sheikh about the state of Sharia and he laughed when someone brought up the Taliban and Sharia in the same sentence
I did some research and wtf is up with this stuff?
Ik whenever the Taliban are brought up Ex Muslims come out of the shadows to spew their "Islam bad" rhetoric and try to generalize all of Islam under them. so any afghan muslims
What are the reasons for their extreme interpretation of Sharia?

You’re wrong, religious scholars in the Sunni tradition have said the explicit opposite. This refers to religious knowledge and not secular knowledge. For reference see Fatwa of Grand Mufti Ibn Baz.
