    Just under the article was a video about how they also banned music. With all these strict, bizarre rules, I wonder what you are allowed to do there besides stare at the wall.

      Read the holy book, pray and work. What else would you even need, unless you’re an infidel?

      Muhammad, bring the stones!

        Praying is a little bit like music though… Now that I think of it, breathing has this weird rhythmic quality. Maybe ban it plz?

      I mean it’s bizarre to us. But many followers of Islam do not condone images of living (often specifically sentient) beings. As with all things religious this is of course adhered to, from every possible extreme and sometimes not at all.

    Very sensible, thank you. I’ve seen a picture of a flower today, I’m still shaking. Witchcraft!

    Dictators and twisting/misinterpreting religious texts; name a more iconic duo.

    Banning is easy. Actually formulating policies to handle geopolitics and develop the socioeconomy of a country is hard.

      Reminds me of that Vice article about the Taliban being disillusioned by all the “office work” involved in running the country after they retook Afghanistan. It was almost laughable. Like a dog that caught the car only to discover that it wanted the chase more than the car itself.

    You took a photo of a wall, but there’s a little bit of grass showing in the corner. Off with your head!
