The Taliban really IS a religious wacko group. And fellow Muslims looked the other way when they peddled drugs because it was "for Allah." Penalties for drug offenses are high in the Middle East--unless you are religious. That is why ISIS is so insidious. The same conservative clerics who would shit bricks over selling women into slavery will look the other way if they think the mobsters are on their side.
