More on Islam and the arts. Taliban murders musicians for making music

Posted on by

I have done several articles recently detailing the attitude of Islam and the arts. I tend to focus on this a bit because the artistic community seems determined to ally itself with the left and the multi cultural. I would hope they would reconsider and instead choose an ideology of individualism and liberty which is what the arts have always thrived in as opposed to theocratic or totalitarian regimes. Islam by the way is both.

GHAZNI(Afghanistan): Armed Taliban militants abducted six musicians and an election worker in eastern Afghanistan, one of whom was later found

dead, a local official said.

The body of one musician was found today, one day after the group was kidnapped in Paktika province, provincial spokesman Hameedullah Jowak said.

“One of the six musicians abducted on Saturday by Taliban was found dead in the district. We have no information on the fate of the other five,” he said.

The Taliban claimed responsibility, saying the hostages had flouted a ban on music, but denied killing the victim.

“We abducted them after they continued to sing and play music despite a recent ban on music announced by Taliban. One of them died of a heart attack,” said Abdul Wakil Mubariz, who claims to be the provincial Taliban commander.

Jowak said armed militants had snatched the election worker from his house in the same province on Thursday.

On Sunday, militants attacked a convoy en route to a coalition base in southern Ghazni province, sparking a gun battle in which three Taliban were killed, provincial spokesman Ismail Jahangir said.


Artists the left and Islam.

You must know who I mean, the people who feel the kindest possible attitude is one of equality of all ideas, open mindedness and ruthless opposition to people who would diminish the stature and value of any group at all.

I wish I could afford to be one of those people again and someday I hope to be. For the moment there are more serious issues to deal with. The nice people, nearly all of whom allies itself with the political left and who have managed to convince us all that this is the only place where kindness manifests itself seem blissfully unaware that Islam will as soon as it has enough population and influence destroy every aspect of our culture which this same kinder gentler left holds sacred.

I had the privilege of meeting an ex-pat Iranian film maker some weeks ago who has made a number of documentaries about post revolutionary Iran. Lili Gobi now residing in Canada made the short film ‘The Forbidden Sun Dance’ a documentary about how days after the left unwittingly helped the Islamic regime install itself in Iran after deposing the Shaw, found over one hundred thousand of their numbers murdered and others sent into exile. To be clear, it was a student revolution in Iran which overthrew the Shaw. They imagined they where going for more freedom not less. Few of them had any idea what an ‘Islamic state’ meant. Once the Ayatollah was installed as the power in Iran he began to crack down on all who had helped him achieve power, the ‘useful idiots’ on the left.

This of course is not the exception its the rule. People so often rebel against a mouse in the kitchen by letting in a family of rats. This was the case in Germany and Russia of course.

Now we see in Pakistan renewed attempts to impose a sharia like state with respect to women and the performing arts.

From the link above…

“The ban on dancing is a symptom of a more dangerous trend in Pakistani society. “If the government engages in moral policing,” says Badar Alam, “it gives vigilantes licence to do the same. It fuels intolerance and de-secularisation by violence and intimidation and opens the door to extreme Jihadi Islamic movements.”
