The Taliban have started replacing murals on Kabul’s streets with paintings of their flags and Islamic slogans as the new rulers continued to reimpose their austere vision on Afghanistan.
The murals addressed everything from the killing of George Floyd in the US and the drowning of Afghan refugees in Iran, to the signing of the US-Taliban agreement towards peace and murder of a Japanese aid worker.

Painting over a mural of St. Floyd will anger the Gods of the Woke Pantheon.
The Taliban better get on their knees and beg for mercy!

This will prove to be quite the conundrum for liberals. They love to make excuses for George Floyd. And they love to make excuses for Islam.
So how will they address this latest news? Maybe they’ll just blame it all on Trump and Global Warming.

That mural is so inspiring it takes my breath away. I mean, I CAN’T BREATHE!

"Naw, they’ll encourage it so they know who to throw off of a building." It's Islam football. They don't throw the flag, they throw the player.

The Taliban must have liked the “Islam is right about women” MEME and thought we can do one better.

Why would the US and Taliban sign an agreement to murder a Japanese aid worker?................

The fact that there is a George Floyd mural in AFGHANISTAN proves to me the mission there was doomed for ultimate failure.
It shows the arrogance and blind evangelism of the American left’s fake woke religion

What a shame!!!!
Just as George Floyd’s legacy was gaining traction on the world’s stage some Muslims with ‘dark ages’ mentalities wipe George Floyd’s face from the annals of Afghan history.

Funny that the Taliban “art” (if you can call it that) commemorates their victories and successes, while our “art” (if you can call it that) commemorates losses and our penchant for self-flagellation.

Exactly. This is an excellent way to get people to hate you and plot vengeance--for generations to come.
