Abstract
From 1747, when Afghanistan was established by Ahmad Khan Durrani, the rulers could not restore stability in Afghanistan: tribal divisions, terrorism, and radical religious ideas. This proves the reasons that caused the communist collapse in Afghanistan. Fundamentalism in Afghan society arose in response to important factors. In this issue we attempt to problematize this question: what is civil war in Afghan Islamic society? The Mujahedin groups are a collective of Muslims that use violence and war in response to values and beliefs to create a government. After gaining power, Mujahedin Islamic groups couldn’t establish elections in society, and Pakistan influenced them in forming the government. Our problematization in this attempt is the influence of Mujahedin groups after the Soviet war and the USA in shaping beliefs and values as alternative operative structures such as elections in Afghan society. All the leaders of these groups have armed detachments to eliminate competitors and don’t have a political commitment to electoral mechanisms. The tyranny of leaders’ votes has led to sectarianism.
