Taliban Behead Music Lovers

2012-08-27 by JohnXDoesn't | 120 Comments
According to reports trickling off the wire early Monday morning if you're going to be in god forsaken Afghanistan anytime soon you may want to forsake your ipod before you travel. Because in Southern Afghanistan the Taliban won't just cut off your ears for music listening transgressions, they'll take your entire head with it.

Local officials in the southern Afghan province of Hemland report the victims of this evil were doing nothing more then holding a late night music and dance party when Taliban fighters viciously attacked, ending the fun with a mass beheading for people doing nothing but what comes naturally. It is not clear exactly how each sinner died as shots were fired before the bodies were apparently moved to another location where they were discovered in a heap, heads no longer attached.

The Taliban consider it a great transgression against GOD to listen to music, dance, and have fun. And in Afghanistan it is reported to be very unusual for men and women to socialize and mingle unless they are related (ugh) and these affairs are highly secretive. After all you wouldn't want ordinary men and women out in the open singing and dancing and carrying on. That would be wrong. Inbreeding and oppression? It's all good!

This reporter feels a simple public flogging, traditional lite stoning, or the loss of a limb or two may have done the trick, here. But I suppose a one way trip to hell via hopeless fanatics will have to do.

Probably my favourite thing about this site is while the quality of reviewing is declining, the satirical news reports go up. Troll reviews and the inability to neg a terrible staff review is glossed over, in place of a satirical-metalheads-meet-BBC news site.

And I'm not even an american, and I could care less about 9/11. It's not a blind rage thing. It's that I hear nothing but bad news from many, many sources about these places.

Kind of like...what was it, Africa? Some country in Africa put a goat on trial because they believed it was a thief who transformed into a goat. A goat was questioned and arrested. At that point you just have to nod your head and go, "Yes..of course, you're a real country! Look how grown up you are!" before turning around and laughing. Same thing with the Middle East.

@Nomos

But the problem with some of those countries is their rulers, and false prophets who exploit people
and create conflicts for their own selfish purposes, which is easier than in countries where you can
freely access the internet.

The usual arab, persian or maghrebi cares shit about politics, he is more concerned about to feed his
family.

As for stifling the hate, there is no hate from anyone on here. It is a well-known fact that the Taliban is a repressive, militant Muslim fundamentalist organization that supports terrorists all over the world, not just those that wish to destroy America. To them their religion is law, not to be argued with or compromised for human rights and freedom. That said, fuck the taliban, all religious extremists, and terrorists.

Don't you love it when criticism against a foreign religion or cultural practice is called "racism" as if different races have to be attached to the culture they are typically surrounded by? There are other things you could complain about, like it being ignorant or culturally insensitive, but racism? Typical buzzword.

I am not american. I have never said in any of my post or replies that americans were dumb. In fact, a lot of people I highly admire are americans. I have not used the word "dumb" either, you can read my post again if you desire. I was speaking about a lot of users on sputnik who acts like children when I said : "when you post on this site, you either have to say a tasteless joke, something utterly moronic, or mock another user". This place (sputnikmusic) can be worse than youtube when it comes to bashing and arguing. I never said that I never heard of that war or about the taliban. All I said is that, even if I do respect cultural and religion differences, I personally do not support murder and that I don't think it is justifiable.

yeah and thats what caught my attention when i read about the incident. the gist of it was yes, they were having a music party. the reveling and what not is bad enough, of course. but even if just gathered and sitting quietly but listening to music with their ears....a completely passive act and something most here can relate to....it would have been enough. you see this was a music party. so obviously death at the hands of motherfuckers is called for

not really a religious thing for me, or political. but its just so wrong on a basic human level. i cannot imagine being someone who would actually KILL someone for simply being human while glorifying a GOD they cannot even prove :/

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/28/world/asia/attacks-on-soldiers-and-civilians-leave-dozens-dead-in-afghanistan.html

But in a telephone interview he later revised his account, saying that witnesses believed the men had been identified as informers and dragged away from villages in his district. The two women, he added, had pleaded for the men’s lives, but this angered the Taliban, who killed them, too.

“The Taliban learned that these are the people who had links with government,”
