| Afghanistan’s Bizarro Version of Ninth Circuit says Women have no right to sing on TV | ||
| 2004-01-16 | ||
| A song by the popular artist, Salma, was shown on Monday, the first time such images were broadcast since 1992. But the programming chief of state-run TV, Azizullah Aryanfar, told the AFP news agency: "Current circumstances are not suitable to air women singing." Omar, if you like Madonna, it looks like you might want to price the satellite dish option. The decision came after the supreme court complained to the government. We say, "too much freedom can be a bad thing !!!! We were too aroused when we saw her lips move." Mr Aryanfar denied that the broadcasters had received a letter from the court demanding the images be stopped and said no official decision on the issue had been taken. The threats were delivered personally But he said such footage would not be run "at least for the time being".
Besides our advertisers want to target the repressed old geezer demographic. The supreme court, dominated by conservative former mujahideen fighters, has often accused media in the country of violating Islamic principles. I guess they forgot to remove the Taliban appointed judiciary. Monday night’s broadcast was old footage of Salma singing a ballad about a refugee. She was wearing a headscarf instead of an all-enveloping burqa. FA LA LA LA Ahmed, we can see her lips. That is disgusting. Make her don the FA LA LA Hey .... mumble mubble fa. muble mumble la. The footage marked the latest liberalisation effort by the moderate administration of President Hamid Karzai. However, the supreme court reacted angrily, with Deputy Chief Justice Fazel Ahmed Manawi saying: "This has to be stopped. We are opposed to women singing and dancing as a whole. Especially, that despicable gyration they do as they rotate about the brass poll..."
Hey, we told you that we intended to make you more like America. Welcome to hell "I didn’t see anything un-Islamic in Ms Salma’s footage; she was just sitting politely and singing." It was the singing!!! Did you not hear, the hypnotic sexual way of her high notes? Is it not said that Idle at work is the bloodbrother of the destroyer? Bring the evil succubus to my tent for punishment!!! Women singers have not appeared on state television since the mujahideen brought down the communist President Najibullah in 1992. Just the facts Ma’am. | ||
