The Taliban beheaded 17 people for attending a party where there was music and dancing in the southern part of Afghanistan on Sunday night. Their bodies were found on the side of the road. This may seem extreme, but the Taliban adhere to a very strict form of Islam that does not allow for this type of behavior. When the Taliban did rule, most music was outlawed and attending a dance party was risking your life. Freedom in this region comes at a stiff price; something that drastically needs to change to ensure the safety of civilians.
