The Taliban are being entirely consistent. Islamic law forbids music.
“Taliban murder Afghan singer: Folk musician who played the lute and sang traditional songs for locals in the mountains was ‘dragged out of his home and shot in the head,'” MailOnline, August 29, 2021:
The Taliban have killed an Afghan folk singer in a restive mountain province under unclear circumstances, reigniting concerns that the insurgents will return to their oppressive rule.
Fawad Andarabi was shot and killed on Friday in the Andarabi Valley, for which he was named, his family said on Sunday….
Andarabi’s son Jawad told the Associated Press that the Taliban had previously come to his father’s home and searched it, even drinking tea with the musician. But something changed on Friday.
‘He was innocent, a singer who was only entertaining people,’ Jawad said. ‘They shot him in the head on the farm’….
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told the AP that the insurgents would investigate the incident, but said he had no other details on the killing.
Andarabi played the ghichak, a bowed lute, and sang traditional songs about his birthplace, his people, and Afghanistan as a whole.
A video shared online showed him during one performance, sitting on a rug and surrounded by mountains as he sang.
‘There is no country in the world like my homeland, a proud nation,’ he sang. ‘Our beautiful valley, our great-grandparents’ homeland’….
Agnes Callamard, the secretary-general of Amnesty International, also decried the killing.
‘There is mounting evidence that the Taliban of 2021 is the same as the intolerant, violent, repressive Taliban of 2001,’ she wrote on Twitter. ’20 years later. Nothing has changed on that front.’…
The fact that anyone even expected them to change is evidence of the naivete and willful ignorance regarding Islam of Callamard and her ilk.

“Taliban claim Kabul truck bomb attack, warn more to follow”

That was January 2019.
After that the Taliban bombed the shit out of everywhere in Afghanistan.
According to highly paid Western woke bureaucrats, the Taliban is nowadays moderate.
The bombers are different from the bombing Taliban just before, and now the bombers are called
“ISIS-K”
On can add a new tale to the Grimm brother fairy tales: “The never ending story of the moderate Muslims.”
Walter Sieruk says
Of course the Taliban would murder a folk singer or any other peaceful person ,for that matter..
Murdering people is one ofthe many things things that the Taliban do best .
Starting in August of this ,from now on the Taliban will further continue murdering a greater numbers of people then before.. All “thanks” to Joe Biden
Walter Sieruk says
Some Westerners might wonder “Why would the Taliban be so very malice–filled as to ,literally , murder someone as harmless as a folk singer.
That’s because that Taliban are so very wicked vicious dangerous and deadly that they will ruthlessly kill anyone for any “reason” at all. It doesn’t matter to them how awful that reason might be. they just murder.
This is because, as explained before ,the horrendous reality is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.”

Murdering singers is orthodox Islam.

Afghanistan: Taliban murder folk singer who sang about ‘my homeland, a proud nation’

This poor man. The irony of his singing about Afghanistan being a prou nation speaks for itself.

And clueless people are still figuring this out…
Here’s Agnes Callamard, decrying Jihad terrorist Qasem Soleiman being taken out:

She also retweeted a Tweet about 9/11 really being all about Muslim victimhood. Just appalling. There’s more there demanding the west take in more invading Muslims.
Infidel says
He was singing about a myth. He may just as well have been singing about Manas – the legend of a country 3 countries north. There has never been an Afghan people, unless, one agrees to conflate Pashtun w/ Afghan

This is true, Infidel.
Fitna says
When you firmly believe the Creator of the Universe has appointed you to be his judge, jury and executioner and if you believe the Quran is his manual for life, then there is nothing to consider or to debate. The Taliban foolishly think they are God’s most devout followers and they’ll be richly rewarded for following his commands.
That’s part of the irony of Islam, while Muslims kill non-Muslims, women, gays, etc. eventually another Muslim will come along who will think they are not Muslim enough and kill them. It’s just a cult of insanity and mass murder.
It is foolish to think you can reason with these savages. Is it any wonder that trying bring democracy to the mideast has failed so miserably? Aside from a minority of us, only China has truly figured it out. Your options are elimination, expulsion or reeducation (de-brainwashing) and the latter is what they’re doing. It is cruel and harsh, but then we know what those Muslims would do to the Chinese if they were the majority.
Unfortunately there are still millions of people in the West who are still completely clueless about Islam, which is why we’re still allowing Muslims to invade our countries. I’m just hoping we’ll wise up before it’s too late-excuse the cliche.

“the Taliban of 2021 is the same as the intolerant, violent, repressive Taliban of 2001,’ she wrote on Twitter. ’20 years later. Nothing has changed on that front.”
The reason, dear, is that Islam is the same as the intolerant, violent, repressive Islam of 1400 years ago.

Boy we can change their minds with RAP, they will love music that promotes degrading women as bitches and whores.

Actually, there are a lot of Muslim Rap artists. That this is “music” often without any muslical accompanyment is part of the reason–its so often being violent and misogynistic is another.
