What's the relation? Nothing in Islam forbids female education.

The only point of contention you can have with it is that it enforces segregated male and female schooling but it doesn't ban female education. Since schooling was already segregated in Afghanistan there is no religious reason for the Taliban to close those schools.

The Taliban sadly has heavy elements of tribalism that are not religiously but culturally motivated.

The relation is that if a girl in Afghanistan now dares to seek out higher education, she will be denounced by the Talibanis as an infidel trying to defy Islam.

Islam is the base they use to enforce this cruelty. The fact that the religion originally didn't intend this is immaterial.

You're missing the point where religion is always (ab)used to control the masses for whatever point you want. Want to go to war? God hates the enemy and wants you to fight! Oeipoemdie due to poverty caused by government mismanagement? It's gods will. Want to stop girls from attending school? That is just the way that god wants it baby, sucks to be you!
