17 civilians were beheaded on Monday in a Taliban-controlled area of southern Afghanistan because they attended a dance party that flouted the extreme brand of Islam embraced by the militants. The victims were part of a large group that had gathered late Sunday in Helmand province's Musa Qala district for a celebration involving music and dancing. The Taliban slaughtered them to show their disapproval of the event.
The Taliban ruled the country from 1996 to 2001 and under them all music and film was banned as un-Islamic, and women were barred from leaving their homes without a male family member as an escort.
This is outrageous and inhumane. Losing your life for dancing? Really?
