Answer:

After the earthquake, the Taliban preached that the earthquake was a warning from God to mend their ways and to introduce sharia (Islamic law) in order to avoid more severe punishments. They basically used a nation's vulnerability and fear for their gain. They also wanted people to stop listening to music, going to movies, dancing, smoking, etc. Their main argument was that God will send another earthquake to punish them all. Taliban used the fact that many people had no education, to follow the dictates of the religious leaders.

Shortly after that, Osama bin Laden started planning terrorist attacks in Afghanistan, and the U.S. and its allies had been fighting a war to find him and to defeat al-Qaeda and the Taliban government which was protecting him.

I am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and was Shot by the Taliban is an autobiography of Pakistani girl Malala Yousafzai, published in 2013. In this book, she describes her life and her activism for female rights and education.
