“The extremist group considers instruments un-Islamic…”
Where did they get this idea?
“‘Imran bin Husain narrated that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said: ‘In this Ummah there shall be collapsing of the earth, transformation and Qadhf.’ A man among the Muslims said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! When is that?’ He said: ‘When singing slave-girls, music, and drinking intoxicants spread.’” (Jami at-Tirmidhi 2212)
“It was narrated from Abu Malik Ash’ari that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘People among my nation will drink wine, calling it by another name, and musical instruments will be played for them and singing girls (will sing for them). Allah will cause the earth to swallow them up, and will turn them into monkeys and pigs.’” (Sunan Ibn Majah 4020)
“Narrated Aisha: Abu Bakr came to my house while two small Ansari girls were singing beside me the stories of the Ansar concerning the Day of Buath. And they were not singers. Abu Bakr said protestingly, ‘Musical instruments of Satan in the house of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) !’ It happened on the `Id day and Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, ‘O Abu Bakr! There is an `Id for every nation and this is our `Id.’” (Sahih al-Bukhari 952)
“In Afghanistan, The Taliban Wages War On Music,” RFE/RL’s Radio Azadi, October 12, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The Taliban announced in August that it had destroyed over 20,000 musical instruments in Afghanistan in the past year. The extremist group considers instruments un-Islamic and permits only unaccompanied singing….

Yes some accomplishment ,no in door plumbing for most of the population in the country ,malnutrition for many of their children .No real highway systems ,or public transportation ,no real hospital systems ,no real clean running water for most of the populations .no real education system outside of the Koran ,no real industrial output except terrorism. No real jobs ,outside dirt farming goat herding ,terrorism ,and growing poppies to be process into heroin ,maybe growing high end hashish, the leaders are busy hunting down musical instruments to burn! This is an example of idiocy on steroids’ ,this is how Islamic culture will run with no no guard rails of western influence, this is why these people live like cavemen with no escape from a short ,grey ,poor ,sad life ,that Islam holds them as prison’s of Islam.

Remember this. The Biden Administration is still giving them aid! This is insane. The US is also the largest donor of aid money to Syria! We also take their refugees and give them extra money for things they want. It’s as if these nations are children to the US. We also do the same for Egypt, Jordan, Turkey and Pakistan.
We were told that the US evacuated Lebanese citizens from Lebanon about a week or so ago. I had a feeling that they weren’t citizens, and I was right. This administration has imported more Lebanese into the US and judging from they have done in the last 4 years, it wouldn’t be a surprise if they are Hezbollah. You see, just a few days ago I read that they are giving these imported Lebanese a type of special status refugee. American citizens would not need that.
So, WHO IS RUNNING AMERICA, because it sure seems like Hamas, Al Qaeda, or bin Laden.
Reziac says
ALL “foreign aid” needs to end, full stop.
OLD GUY says
Yes STOP the foreign aid programs. Our political leaders are giving away our hard earned Tax Dollars to our enemies. The only people gaining from our aid is the elite, corporations doing business in other countries and our political leaders themselves.

Another crime against humanity, beauty, and all that is good.
That’s the essence of Islam, and the essence of evil.
somehistory says
Agreed. Evil through and through.

Governments need to wake up. The ridiculous ration to GDP pledged needed at home.
Tafft says
I’ll spring for a drum set for the kid of the leader of the Taliban.
somehistory says
Just imagine if these instruments had been in the hands of school kids across this country. So many children have longed to learn to play a musical instrument, but their parents lacked the money to buy even a simple one.
A ukulele or a tambourine can be had for less than 20$, but for the poor among us, that is an amount too high.
And one could imagine if a child being raised in a mozlum home had the freedom and opportunity to lean to play, how it might change their future from violence to one of peaceful relaxation.
The young man David played the harp and soothed the wild feelings of King Saul. Just imagine if these instruments were in the hands of those afghan children instead of the violent hands of the ghouls of the taliban. Likely why they are considered unislamic. Gotta’ keep those violent feelings going strong.
Westman says
Notice the Taliban “talentless” are burning stereo speakers more than instruments.
Cell phones are computers that can access and store music from many sources. They have cameras which can record live music.
Until these icons of shaggy virtue begin throwing their cell phones in the fire, we know their persecution of music is just for more hypocrisy on the road to total power over the population. It is more likely, like Osama Bin Laden, those Taliban cell phones display some porn when no one is around.
somehistory says
Yes, they use the phones….send them some beepers…and they are far more capable than an instrument no one has learned to play.
JS says
Me thinks it’s terror videos. They froth at the mouth every time they see or get to kill.
Someone please tell us WHY this Biden Administration imported millions of them? They are a threat to national security!
Reziac says
Someone commented elsewhere that the way you prevent your luggage from being violently searched in some of these Muslim airports is to put a porn mag atop your clothes, and then when it’s found, exclaim to the agent, “Oh my goodness, I did not know that was here, you surely must confiscate it!”

The Taliban in their Islamic/Sharia based tyranny in Afghanistan didn’t limit their distribution to musical Instruments .They also destroy people
In other words, the Taliban destroy art, musical instruments, They even further in their demonic/Islamic evils and destroy basic humans rights , even to the callous degree of literal death, in their tyrannical Islamic regime.

To edited my posting ,as to fix it and also add to it , here is a better improved version of it.

In other words, the Taliban destroy art, musical instruments, They even further in their demonic/Islamic evils and destroy basic humans rights, even to the callous degree of literal death, in their tyrannical Islamic regime.
In addition, The Taliban in their cruel deadly tyrannical regime follow Islam’s Sharia as their guide for their rule. That is why they detest music and are so very brutal and oppressive to the Afghan people
Therefore, it should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia is revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995. “For that future history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.
Therefore, Sharia has no value or worth.
In time , that Islamic tyrannical regime of Taliban is grounded on only a foundation of sand.

Couldn’t Pink Floyd – w/ Roger Waters – be sent there on a tour? Then all their toys can be obliterated as well, while they are guests of the Taliban

Bunch of thuggish ignoramuses!

Music has given pleasure and solace to billions of the human race for may centuries, of course the main canon of classical music is Western in origin but it is enjoyed in Asia and even played in China. There cannot be any more evidence of how miserable ‘religion’ is Islam in that it bans music. On the word of an illiterate camel driver. Of course its connection with Western civilisation boots that hatred.

Yep, destroy anything that is good and decent, destroy all history that is pre- Mohammed.
So sad that history is being destroyed all over the world by people who disregard the value and learning of such items.
sporticus says
I don’t believe this weird, unexplained prohibition originates with Mohammad (assuming he existed). It looks more like the kind of thing that emanates from a commitee of Elders, Presbyters and their ilk -even in the West, although this example seems preposterous. Music? There’s Auld Lang Syne, as famous as Scotch Whisky, but it’s hilarious, comical, to read how Burns was persecuted by the dour Church Elders. There’s a statue of John Knox in Edinburgh and you could mistake him for the Taliban -and just as cruel.
I’ve read the interesting theory that the burqa was actually a draconian means to keep venereal disease out of primitive desert groups -nothing to do with piety. They threw out music for the same reason?
Also, the hypocrisy of Mohammad (who is all for nine year old girls) putting a ban on dancing-girls and singing-girls tells you that it is a story made up by the Elders of the desert.
