More of that legendary Islamist sense of humor.
(Epoch Times) — The Taliban captured a Pakistani comedian who used the militant group as a source for his jokes, according to a report by the Express Tribune on Wednesday.
Nisar Khan was abducted as he was doing his standup routine at a wedding in the suburban town of Matani on Monday, the report said.
“The militants took Nisar away, saying they too needed an entertainer on an urgent basis,” a local resident told the publication on condition of anonymity. “They told people not to panic and that Nisar is being taken away only for a few days. They said he will not be harmed.”
Nisar frequently performs at weddings and local social events, commonly using the Taliban as a source of humor.
The comedian recently wrote a song about how the local militants punished a thief. “Shave my head, paint my face black; Mount me on a donkey and make fun of me,” the song’s lyrics said.
