The paper is about the role of Islam in shaping the cultural landscape of Afghanistan under Taliban. Yi-Fu Tuan’s description of religion is used as a theoretical framework in this study, and it is juxtaposed to Taliban’s religious fanaticism. Afghanistan is addressed through the experiences and perceptions of Afghan characters in the The Kite Runner. The aim of this study is to explore the cultural landscape of Afghanistan after the Taliban held power during the years 1996-2001. The paper also aims at detecting the reason behind the discrepancy between Yi Fu Tuan’s description of religion and the humanitarian crisis that Taliban had created in Afghanistan.
