      That’s just a symptom of moral prescriptivism, which in turn is a symptom of otherwise impotent desire for control over a weird and scary world.

      That doesn’t mean they’re making good choices, but it does explain why they’re making them.

      it’s not about immorality, it’s to limit the access to outside information in a country where most internet access is done through smartphones.

      At this point it seems hard to ban the internet. But especially impossible for the backwards Taliban that have lived in caves for the last 40 years.

      I doubt that they know that they just started a whack-a-mole

    They should denounce all the weapons from the US. Obviously, those are haram, and against the religion.
