"They were promoting foreign culture and imitating film actors in Herat, arrested, and a rehabilitation program started for them," Khyber said Sunday in a post on one of his social media accounts. "Praise be to Allah, we are Muslims and Afghans; we have our own religion, culture, and values. Through numerous sacrifices, we have protected this country from the spread of harmful cultures, and now we are also defending it."
Speaking with CBS News on Tuesday, however, Khyber said the men were not formally arrested, "only summoned and advised and released."
"We have our own religious and cultural values, and especially for clothing we have specific traditional styles," Khyber told CBS News on Tuesday. "The clothing they wore has no Afghan identity at all and does not match our culture. Secondly, their actions were an imitation of actors from a British movie. Our society is Muslim; if we are to follow or imitate someone, we should follow our righteous religious predecessors in good and lawful matters."
