Yes, just a short search told me that. However I remember reading about what I spoke of in the Afghan's women's resistance so I accept that the Taliban were originally Pashtum and had apparently been around for a while but certainly my reading has told me that the Afghan Refugee children were basically taught to be Taliban fighters. Their parents agreed to them going to these schools because they got well fed while they were there and the parents were unable to provide this. Will try to find some proof when I have time.Nope. They are Pashtun Deobandi.
