This is a personal question. I will answer below according to the word that was unfamiliar to me, but feel free to add to the answer in case there were more for you.
Answer and Explanation:
The word that I found unfamiliar and whose meaning I did not know at first was "behest". I had never seen that word before. To understand its meaning, I looked for context clues. <u>The rest of the sentence in which "behest" appears functions as a clue to finding its meaning. It says that, at a person's behest, something happened: "the Exhibition dropped its superfluous rags and stripped itself. . ." As soon as I read this part, it made me think of the word "command." For instance, the sentence "At the general's command, the troops advanced" has a similar connotation to the one with "behest".</u>
To confirm my assumptions, I looked the word up online and found it indeed means "order" or "command".

Actually, Pakistani Taliban leader Mullah Fazlullah, tried to convince his followers against many things. He began daily sermons on illegal FM frequencies, where he used to spread his messages throughout the region.
These were hate speeches against the Americans, the Pakistani state, female education, the Polio vaccine, and promulgating the militant's extreme interpretation of Sharia law.
Because of these believes, he used to say people shouldn't agree or help in any way to give power to all those things he was against to.
Some, after listening to his sermons, threw their television sets out because he described them as "<em>un-Islamic</em>". Many "<em>Swatis</em>" grew beards because of his lectures.
