Taliban Crash Wedding

Via Yahoo News:

JALALABAD, Afghanistan (Reuters) – Taliban fighters beat musicians, shaved their heads and left them tied to trees overnight because they performed at an Afghan wedding, a village tribal chief said Monday, a sign of the fighters' growing influence.

While in power from 1996-2001, the Taliban banned music as un-Islamic.

What? They only beat them, destroyed the instruments and promised to kill them if they play music again.

Must have been some of those moderate Taliban we're always hearing about.
