       "Music is forbidden in Islam," Mujahid told the paper.

       "We’re hoping that we can persuade people not to do such things, instead of pressuring them."

       Afghanistan’s former interior minister, Masoud Andarabi - who is not related - shared footage of the singer performing, saying he was “brutally killed” simply for “bringing joy to this valley and its people.”
