Singer Joss Stone would greet the Taliban with open arms if she ran into the terrorist group – because they need to be “loved”.
The 33-year-old declared she’d be pleasant if she bumped into Taliban leader Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada.
She went on to reveal that opposing troops fighting in Afghanistan would be “fine” if they smoked a spliff together.
Speaking on her podcast about a trip to Libya, she said: “Some guy in Afghanistan said, ‘What would you say if you met the leader of the Taliban?’ I’d say, ‘Nice to meet you, my name’s Joss, what’s yours?’
“You want people to change, but they’re only going to do that when they become loved, I think.

Joss visited and sang in the Libyan city of Tripoli last year. She added: “I was in Libya and looked after by a group of militia. These people were so lovely and they were just trying to survive. These people would lay down their lives for any of those in the refugee camp, for me, who they’ve just met.

“A guy who is fighting against Taliban, a young man, he’s the same as the Taliban. It is the same, they have so much in common, they wouldn’t bloody believe it.
“If they found themselves in a hole together, with no weapons and a spliff, they’d probably be fine.”
