You cannot dance, you cannot sing, you cannot play music or wear a kippa, [a Jewish skullcap] if you don't want any trouble from the Taliban or other super orthodox Muslims. They will kill you and think they're the better for it because you don't believe the way they do.
Men claiming to be Taliban members shot 3 Afghan celebrants at a wedding, which doesn't bode well for this marriage, if you ask me.
Two men have been detained by Taliban authorities pretending that they are becoming "westernized" and a softer, gentler group of Allah-fearing folks, after the shooting and killing three wedding guests over music being played because fun is banned in super orthodox Islam.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid denied any connection to the two men who said they were Taliban members. A third gunman has not yet been detained but he is easily recognized as he has a dark beard, was dressed in earth tone Afghan clothing, has bad teeth, and wore sandals.
Four couples held a joint wedding in the Nangarhar province on Friday because they were having a "four-for-one" tent sale. The Taliban had banned music during its earlier administration from 1996 to 2001, and the wedding parties Friday had obtained permission from a local Taliban leader to play the music, the BBC reported.

The new Taliban government has not yet issued any decree on the subject, but many singers and musicians have already fled the country and let's not bring up the gays and lesbians.
A witness told reporters that some "young men" were playing music in a separate room when "three Taliban fighters [terrorists] came and opened fire on them."
Another witness said that the men "broke the musical instruments and then went out and … opened fire on approximately 50 people."
At least three people died as a result of the shooting, according to The Guardian.

Mujahid said the two men detained by authorities will be "handed over to face Sharia law." This could result in a double-whammy beheading or a slap on the wrist.
