In a recent development reflecting the Taliban's strict enforcement of cultural and religious norms, four young Afghan men were summoned by the Taliban's Ministry of Vice and Virtue for wearing clothing inspired by the popular British TV series Peaky Blinders. The series, set in post-World War One England, features flat caps and three-piece suits, which the men showcased in videos online. The Taliban spokesman, Saiful Islam Khyber, stated that although jeans might be tolerated, the values portrayed in Peaky Blinders clash with Afghan and Islamic cultural values. The men were accused of promoting foreign culture and imitating film actors, which the Taliban consider incompatible with Afghan traditions and Muslim morality according to their interpretation of Sharia law. The men were not formally arrested but were summoned, advised, and underwent a rehabilitation program before their release. Videos released by the Ministry show the men thanking officials and acknowledging their mistake in promoting content against Sharia law. Prior to their summons, the men had publicly expressed their admiration for the show’s fashion and noted positive reactions from local residents. This case illustrates the ongoing cultural restrictions imposed by the Taliban since their 2021 takeover, emphasizing adherence to their interpretation of Islamic norms, including dress codes and expressions of foreign cultural influences.
