Do you have any reading resources to share about faults in Pew Research’s methodology? If they are untrustworthy, it would be good to know

The issues with that 99% is that this had a 5% error margin and only represented adults 18+ 10 years ago.
10 more years of american ocupation and rise of social media, exposure to western way of life in the last 10 years could definitelly make changes. Also even if they wanted the sharia law many didn’t agree with some oppresive things mentioned there even 10 years ago.

Given a 5% margin, the worst case result is still 94% support - truly the will of the people. Discriminating children from participating in democracy is also norm in the west, and probably wise.
It is interesting that you assume 10 extra years of foreign occupation makes the average person more sympathetic to the occupying force.
Finally they are free from their foreign oppressor, and they can go back to having their country ruled as they please. Anyone who believes in democracy will agree to this

Edit: the Taliban also outlaws the Afghani and Pakistani tradition of Bacha Bazi - the widespread custom of raping young boys, and with this in mind I am not surprised they are overjoyed to yet again be free to punish those who partake in it [1]. Truly a win for democracy and for protecting children from predators.
