The Taliban has reclaimed the international spotlight for having retaken control of the Afghan government that it held back in the 1990’s. Consequently, Sharia Law is now fast becoming the law of the land. Now most of us have heard of the possible infringements on women’s rights, but we may not be near as aware of the trimming of barber’s rights. (Pun intended.) The Taliban shuttered the entire barbershop business in Helmand, one of the country’s southern provinces. News reports tell us that the Taliban banned – fitting name for Tali-ban – the shaving or even trimming of one’s beard.
