Taliban To Impose Media Ban On Images Of Living Things.
(www.rferl.org)
Come Mr Taliban, tally me banana.
Just under the article was a video about how they also banned music. With all these strict, bizarre rules, I wonder what you are allowed to do there besides stare at the wall.
Read the holy book, pray and work. What else would you even need, unless you're an infidel?
Muhammad, bring the stones!
Praying is a little bit like music though... Now that I think of it, breathing has this weird rhythmic quality. Maybe ban it plz?
I mean it's bizarre to us. But many followers of Islam do not condone images of living (often specifically sentient) beings. As with all things religious this is of course adhered to, from every possible extreme and sometimes not at all.
Banning is easy. Actually formulating policies to handle geopolitics and develop the socioeconomy of a country is hard.
Reminds me of that Vice article about the Taliban being disillusioned by all the "office work" involved in running the country after they retook Afghanistan. It was almost laughable. Like a dog that caught the car only to discover that it wanted the chase more than the car itself.
This is my favorite line from Hamilton.
Dictators and twisting/misinterpreting religious texts; name a more iconic duo.
Very sensible, thank you. I've seen a picture of a flower today, I'm still shaking. Witchcraft!
Let's provide them with graphic images of their dead dictators, they aren't living, are they
I’m dead inside so I could be the next biggest actor in Afghanistan.
At some point it's just going to be easier to ban everything.
Well, they're not called the Tali-permit
*slow clap*
You took a photo of a wall, but there's a little bit of grass showing in the corner. Off with your head!
Don't forget all the microorganisms you will be accidentally photographing!
Are images of anime girls allowed?
Probably not, also many animes have themes they probably don't like.
They like harem isekai.
It sucks that the people of Afghanistan wouldn’t be able to watch Kill La Kill.
how very backwards of them.
Does that include mud flaps??
