The Taliban, earlier this month, prohibited women and families from accessing the garden restaurants in Herat.
Video games, foreign movies, and music have been outlawed in Afghanistan under the Taliban government because they are considered to be anti-Islamic. This ban is first imposed in the western city of Herat in Afghanistan. More than 400 firms in Herat had to shut down as a result of the sudden ban enforced by the Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.
According to Maulana Azizurrahman Mohajir, the provincial head of the Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, the establishments were shut down after several parents complained about how their kids were wasting time there. He said, “These shops were selling films that depicted and promoted Indian and Western values and culture, which are very different from Afghan culture and traditions.”
Reiterating that the Taliban considers such activities un-Islamic, he added, “The films they were selling did not have women in hijab, which is against Sharia. This is why the sale of such films is prohibited.”
The ban came after restrictions on other pastimes and types of entertainment that go against the Taliban’s radical Islamic Sharia law. The Taliban, earlier this month, prohibited women and families from accessing the garden restaurants in Herat.
The Taliban closed hookah facilities across the nation in October 2022. Smoking hookah is an everyday pastime for Afghan men. The Taliban closed down eateries owned and run by women in the city of Herat earlier in May 2022 and forbade men and women from dining together there. The Islamist group, has forcefully imposed severe constraints on how Afghans can behave and how men and women can interact with each other.
And 80s hits were really starting to take off there
Kids play too many video games anyway. They should be outside killing infidels and blowing up school busses, like normal Muzzies.
That’s what these monsters did back in the 1990s, the first time they ruled Afghanistan.
It is also why Afghanistan is in the shape it's in and always will be as long as true Islam is practiced.
Take oil away from the Middle East and they'd be riding camels and living in tents.
Well apparently this is what they want. They had 20 years to get their act together while our blood and treasure paid for it.
Too bad, so sad.
At least they’ll be talking to each other around the dinner table rather than Tik-Toking.
Everything islamic clerics do increases the chance young boys will be sodomized.
So.
We let p**** men that wear dresses, makeup and have pretend periods replace women in several areas.
We let our little boys dress in sexy women’s clothes, dance for grown men while getting dollars stuffed in their outfits.
We are downgrading education because learning something is racist.
We change books and dictionaries, we ban books and we tear down statues.
Yeah, I don’t think we have any place to look down our noses until we clean up our own backyard.
I heard elsewhere that the US continues to fund Afghanistan with multi-millions of taxpayer dollars. Anyone have details of US support???
20+ years, trillions of dollars and tens of thousands of lives later Afghanistan is exactly where they were.
I hope they ban procreating.

“Let he who has no sin cast the first stone” it was once said.
Well. Guess I’ll have to find somewhere else to visit. Damn. I was sooo looking forward to going.
Still safer than Chicago.
At least I know I can arm myself when I get there.
Best firearms the good Ole USA can supply. 😉
Isn’t Islam great?
No, but on the other hand, what does the West offer these days?
