Men in Afghanistan Shave Off Beards

	posted by Scott on Thursday November 15, @09:02PM from the news dept.
	krob4399 submitted this New York Times article (free registration required to read) about how men in some parts of Afghanistan are now free to shave their beards since the Taliban have left. I thought this was a very interesting story about the new cultural freedoms men will be able to enjoy in a Taliban-free Afghanistan.

Funny, I've read article after article for the past three or four years about how the Taliban forces women to wear veils. Only now do I read that they prohibited males from trimming their beards.
