Gunmen kill at least three at Afghan wedding to stop music being played
The Guardian ^ | Sat 30 Oct 2021 13.46 EDT | Agence France-Presse

Taliban government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said on Saturday that two of the three attackers had been arrested, and denied they were acting on behalf of the Islamist movement.

Qazi Mullah Adel, spokesperson for the Taliban governor in Nangarhar province, confirmed the incident but did not provide details. A relative of the victims said the Taliban fighters had opened fire while music was being played.

Music was banned the last time the Taliban ruled Afghanistan and, while the new government has not yet issued such a decree, its leadership still frowns on its use in entertainment and sees it as a breach of Islamic law.

The previous Taliban government between 1996 and 2001 imposed a very strict interpretation of Islamic law and harsh public punishments.

But, since returning to power in mid-August after overthrowing the US-backed government, the Taliban – seeking international recognition and an end to sanctions – has tried to show a more moderate face.

So only three attendees at the wedding were slain. Yep, this is definitely a more moderate Taliban.

I just don’t care anymore. Twenty years is enough. If the Afghan ppl are okay with this kind of life, then so be it.

This won't set well with fundamental Muslims who will see it as placating Infidels and not following Islam as practiced by Muhammad and the 4 Caliphs who followed him.

Muhammad al Wahab in the 1700s saw that Islam was picking up some of the trappings of other religions and had many of those Cafeteria Muslims killed, and got many Muslims back to Islam's fundamentals. Looks like today ISIS-K is going that route.

The Taliban in Afghanistan may have to watch their backs if ISIS-K sees them as heretics. -Tom

Under sharia law it is an unfair game for those convicted of theft.

Uncle biden shrugs and waves hello. Hes got to be about the most despised man in Afghanistan. Would not surprise me in the slightest if some muslim cleric issues a fatwa on his buttocks.
