#1 "mainly Western and Indian music, news and movies. "

see its not just about western influence, but about Hindu influence - pre-Islam afghan was buddhist - not Hindu, but within Indian cultural sphere. New "pop" culture post-Taliban was not Western, but "bollywood" Indian music, posters of Indian film starts etc. That has the harder line islamists worried (and the Pakis?)

#5 It's not western influence they are worried about. It's those darn infidel news programs! How can they program their people to hate infidels if they see on TV that they have a good time? I can't wait to 'Mullahs Gone Wild III: Above the Knee!' .
