Internet culture is largely based on the culture of the USA. If you are exposed to the internet, it is unavoidable, and that is why the Taliban were able to joke about Facebook censorship, for example. If Islamic culture were as ubiquitous and open as internet culture, then it would also be possible to produce memes based on that culture.

Maybe you’re right. Maybe the Taliban’s sophisticated understanding of Facebook is a normal thing. Despite the low literacy rate, perhaps it is normal for the average Afghani to understand American culture on Facebook enough to influence you.
Or, you know, maybe there are some very wealthy sophisticated people attempting to influence international politics. Who knows?
