Afghanistan: Students of Islam Behead 17 For Music & Dancing

Beheadings against music.

Students of Islam, that’s what Talibandits are. That’s what they call themselves.  How did they get the crazy idea that beheading people for partying is better than music?

Sharia in action in Afghanistan: Taliban behead 17 for attending mixed-sex party with music and dancing

Thanks to Vlad for the video and the reminder:

Yet these people still force young boys into prostitution and screw dogs in the open, on the street. Don’t believe me? Ask anyone you know who served in the military there.

“Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.” — Ayatollah Khomeini

According to witnesses of a major attack that killed 20 near Kabul in June, Taliban gunmen stormed a high-end hotel demanding to know where the “prostitutes and pimps” were.

The Taliban said it launched that attack on Qarga Lake because the hotel was used for “wild parties”.

During their five-year reign, which was toppled by U.S.-backed Afghan forces in 2001, sparking the present NATO-led war, the Taliban banned women from voting, most work and leaving their homes unaccompanied by their husband or a male relative….
