Taliban To Impose Media Ban On Images Of Living Things.
Afghanistan's Taliban morality ministry pledged on October 14 to implement a law banning news media from publishing images of all living things, with journalists told the rule will be gradually enforced.

That's accurate to historical Islamic practice, unlike a lot of their crazy shit, but nobody else does it because it's going to be insanely difficult to work with.
Except historically the arts flourished under Islamic rule. While Islam does have an anti icon streaks it was never enforced save for the depiction of the prophet Mohammad.
I think it's an oversimplification to say that it was never enforced:
Yeah, they were big on arts (and had the civilisation to actually sponsor a lot of it) but with a strong bent towards geometric and abstract art, and calligraphy. Y'know, like mosques are famously covered in.
They also had a thing for water features and gardens, which are the actual articles instead of mere depictions. I'm wondering now if they had much in the way of zoos.
