Norouz in Kabul, Afghanistan



Uploaded by: FedericoManfredi
Video Description:
Norouz is a traditional new year holiday celebrated by people in Afghanistan, the Balkans, the Caucasus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Kurdistan, India, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, as well as in Iranian and Turkic communities all over the world. The residents of Kabul celebrated Norouz walking to green areas around the city. On Maranjan Hill, people fly kites and dance while families stroll around leisurely. Interestingly enough, all these activities were banned under the Taliban regime. Indeed, the Taliban had also banned Norouz itself.

Dear Muslims, please respect and understand the strongest tribe in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Middle East, now and for the rest of history. Understand and never forget that this tribe has done more to establish liberty over tyranny and promote freedom and human rights for all Muslims especially Muslim women more than any Islamic Sheik, Ayatollah, Imam, or any Muslim leader has done in the history of Islam. Muslims, never forget the name of this tribe--The United States Military.

We do have the opening of the spring, as a new year. I don't know anything about that. But I mean the rituals of Noruz or chahar shanbeh suri, when you jump over the fire. Now you can ask any molana,sheikh or ayatolah, and they all will tell you that Noruz is not in Islam.
