France 24:
Taliban authorities have barred chess across Afghanistan until further notice over concerns it is a source of gambling, which is illegal under the government’s morality law, a sports official said on Sunday.
The Taliban government has steadily imposed laws and regulations that reflect its austere vision of Islamic law since seizing power in 2021.
“Chess in sharia (Islamic law) is considered a means of gambling”, which is prohibited according to the Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice law announced last year, sports directorate spokesperson Atal Mashwani told AFP.
“There are religious considerations regarding the sport of chess,” he said.
“Until these considerations are addressed, the sport of chess is suspended in Afghanistan,” he added. more
“Chess is Unislamic and immoral and if you disagree we keel you.”
Achmed the Dead Terrorist isn’t dead enough.
Also MMA sports because of the violence.
Islam is violence. Its in the Koran.
Wait til they find out about Monopoly.
‘”Young people don’t have a lot of activities these days, so many came here everyday,” he told AFP.’
…thats because the -ONLY- activity the Talis WANT them engaged in is jihad against the West.
Maybe they’ll strap on a bomb vest if theyre bored enough, no age limit or special training required…
Well. That will certainly put a damper on all of the exciting chess tables in Las Vegas. Now to deal with the endemic afghani wagering on when the goat will shit.

“Also MMA sports because of the violence.
Islam is violence. Its in the Koran.”
…yes, but MMA is SPORT violence, an activity engaged in by equally matched and trained opponents, performed under a mutually agreed-upon set of rules, played honorably and without the intention of killing anyone.
Muzzies only believe in dirty fighting, sucker punching, hit-and-run attacks on unsuspecting, untrained targets, and killing the weak and innocent in the name of their pedophile prophet.
Muzzies lose EVERY TIME they fight man-to-man, they can only “fight” like the dishonorable cowards they truly are, from the shadows, in packs, and against targets selected BECAUSE they can offer no defense.
…THATS why the Talis HATE MMA.
The kids might get ideas about honor, fair play, and fighting like MEN.
And a Muslim society can NOT stand THAT…
What’s their name for buggering pre-teen boys?
Consider the IQ they are dealing with. This keeps them from endless losses at the chess table with other people of the world.

Will they ban checkers or tiddly winks next? Muzzies are bigger killjoys than even the libtards are.
Anyone who would buy in to the islamic horseshit is mentally deficient. People can bet on virtually anything at all. Who can walk to the hilltop first? Who can hold there pee longer? Wanna bet who goes to hell first? duh, duh, duh.
BTW,,, Mo’ was a murderous bastard heathen. Prove me wrong.
When a high-ranking goat humping, heroin dealing rag head corners the market on chess boards, they’ll be OK.
Taliban are apparently just as stupid as our leftists. See, ragboys it works like this: all contests are a cause for gambling. All of them. See? Ya inbred morons, it’s the people, not the game. Just like not having a house is not the cause but rather the effect of homelessness. Y’all cousin breeders gotta be embarrassed to be as stupid as our leftists, goll, just golly gee whiz.
Biden, like Carter (he gave control of Iran to the ayatollahs), created another satan-level monster.
Biden is a truly evil man. That’s no exaggerstion.
perform oral sex, sand-dindus
Remember the words of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini: “There is no room for fun or play in Islam. Islam is deadly serious — about everything.”
Coming soon to your neighborhood… if it isn’t there already.
More than likely that they’re incompetent and not exactly grand master material.
Chess = BAD
Screwing a goat = GOOD
“See Achmed and Abdul over there about to play chess? I bet you two goats that they’ll set the board up wrong.”
Living in a majority muslim country is gambling,…with your life
Critical Thinking is outlawed by islam.
Just put this nice vest on, go to the market and we’ll call you.
Unbeknownst to him there are 72 virgins(boys) awaiting him.
Just kidding, there aren’t 72 virgin boys left in Afghanistan
