Tajikistan forces 13,000 to shave off beards, shuts shops selling hijab says news with this picture

Quote

Emomali Rahmon, Tajikistan’s president since 1994, has decreed all beards to be shaved. He is fighting the rising tide of Islamic extremism one follicle at a time.

The police in Tajikistan have shaven off the beards of some 13,000 men. Fearing the rise of radicalisation in the land-locked country of some 8 million, Tajik authorities have taken up razors to attack the symbols that remind them of the Salafist movements in the Middle East.

Hundreds of radicalised youth from the Central Asian Republics have reportedly joined the ranks of extremist Salafist groups. This has alarmed the authoritarian rulers who see the eventual return of the radicalised men as potential threats.

Instead of introducing genuine reforms to allow citizens a greater say in their affairs, Tajik authorities have resorted to brute force, claiming beards are alien and inconsistent with the Tajik culture.
