| Taliban set Deadline for Whiskers |
| 2007-10-04 |
| A local pro-Taliban militant group has warned a businessman to cut his long whiskers within one week. The group has set a deadline and its head said that if Mr Khan tried to flee the area, they will set his home ablaze. The man, Ameer Mohammad Khan, has at least ten inches long whiskers and he loves it. The militant group has declared that keeping long whiskers is un-Islamic and unnecessary. According to daily Mashriq, a local Urdu newspaper from Peshawar, Ameer Mohammad Khan is a businessman of the Bara area where a group of militants called Lashkar-e-Islam is active for past few years. The group has set a deadline and its head said that if Mr Khan tried to flee the area, they will set his home ablaze. `Those long whiskers are un-Islamic and unnecessary. So he must cut them within one week` the daily quoted Mangal Bagh, head of the militant group. This group has a rivalry with another militant group and more than four hundred people have been killed so far in their fighting. There are many pro-Taliban local militants active in Pakistan`s tribal areas who call themselves Jihadist, Islamists and local Taliban. They have already banned music and other entertainment activities. They have their own strict Islamic rules which they impose by force. |
