Beard warning

Taliban leader gives beard warning

Taliban leader has warned local tribesmen to grow beards within the next two months in accordance with Islamic teachings or face harsh punishment, residents said on Monday.

The threat came amid an apparent increase in incidents of militants trying to enforce Islamic Sharia law in Pakistans tribal belt bordering Afghanistan, where the new government is trying to make peace with militants.

Once in a while, the article speaks for itself and no comment from me is needed.
