Afghanistan''s Taliban government bans ''violent'' mixed martial arts

| “Don’t you dare even think of learning to defend yourselves against those beloved of Allah! Your only job is to know yourselves rightfully conquered in Allah’s name, and to obey.” |
[GEOTV] Afghanistan's Taliban
 ...Arabic for students ...
government has banned mixed martial arts (MMA), as per their sports authority's statement issued on Wednesday.
The order was passed down by Afghanistan's morality police in the Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice after an investigation into the sport's compliance with their own interpretation of Islamic law, the statement and local media said.
"It was found that the sport is problematic with respect to sharia and it has many aspects which are contradictory to the teachings of Islam," the Taliban government sports authority said in a statement sent to AFP.
"That's why this decision has been made to ban mixed martial arts in Afghanistan."
A sports authority official told local media MMA was banned in part because it was considered too violent mostly peaceful and posed the risk of injury or death.
The Taliban authorities returned to power in 2021, implementing their strict interpretation of "Islamic law".
They recently ratified a morality law formalising many rules on behaviour and dress, including that men must not wear shorts above the knee.
