Abstract EN
Khaled Hosseini is an Afghan-born American novelist whose reputation as a writer of grotesque novels is well known.
His The Kite Runner (2003) gives a vision of what Afghanistan was before its association as a haven for terrorists.
Hosseini deals with the theme of terrorism in his first novel The Kite Runner, in which he has given a genuine insight to the people of the world about the extremists Taliban, in particular, and the culture, and the traditions of Afghan people in general.
This paper seeks to examine Hosseini's depiction of the complexities of life in Afghanistan during the regime of the Talibans.
It shows how the country was seen as an asylum for some terrorists and their allies who are accused of the attack in the United States and other countries.
Moreover, the paper addresses the need to fight against terrorism as a phenomenon to which the world became the witness of this gruesome reality.
It, therefore, provides an analysis of terrorism, revealing the people's suffering caused by this terrorism
