Haji Namdar, the chief of the Tanzim Bilmaroof (group for promotion of virtue), announced a ban on shaving in a broadcast made on Wednesday from his illegal FM radio station.
“Shaving the beard is forbidden in Islam and I feel duty-bound to make every Muslim of my tribe sport a beard,” said Namdar.
The Tanzim Bilmaroof had earlier imposed fines for various acts it says are against the teachings of Islam. This includes a fine of Rs 50,000 for owning a dish antenna for receiving satellite TV broadcasts and a fine of Rs 500 for not praying five times a day.
The group has also banned listening to music and watching TV. It has also imposed a fine of Rs 500 for each audio cassette found in any person’s possession. Volunteers of the Tanzim Amr Bilmaroof have severely beaten tribesmen who do not cover their heads.
Namdar was the first person to set up a radical group in Bar Qambarkhel in Khyber Agency and establish an illegal radio station. However, the Sheikhmal Khel tribe has revolted against Namdar after he set up checkpoints to collect “toll tax” from vehicles.
The Tanzim Bilmaroof also has links with the Lashkar-e-Islam militant group led by Mangal Bagh. The Lashkar-e-Islam too has banned several “un-Islamic acts” and imposed severe fines for violators.
I think all strictly practising muslim/muslima should sport a beard or a hijab, so that others can keep away form these people. We should not interact with them and treat them as social outcast. It was MoHamMads idea to have a beard, so muslims can identify one another and seek help as quran say muslims should not be friends with unbelievers.
And missing is thouse who believe in religion will be fined for Rs. 50,000.00

It is good idea when Sikhs are shaving their head and beards these days although having beard and kirpan is part of their faith.
And to think that the government considers them as disadvantaged in order to provide reservations and sops?
So I am guessing the same people issuing a fatwa against rushdie
Perhaps these Mullahs would further like to enlighten the others, as to where in Quran it says so, and why if it is so. Why is beard necessary?
What about pruning the beard ? Is it also a penal offence ? And what about the mustache ?
Plucking may lead to Bal-Tor Mishra Ji.That will lead visit to the Doctor who gains at the expense of the poor barber that goes without a job.Serious Dilemmas involved here.
No, it is not allowed. Plucking is allowed only for pubic hair according to managing director (Md.: muhammad) of Islam.
I think it will be a good idea to enforce such laws in India (why not the whole world?)for all Muslims by Mullahs. Instead of threatening Godrej family y dont they concentrate on their own Islamic men? It will be nice to see all the movie Khans with long beards in love scene! .
Sharuk Khan is a hardcore Islamic fanatic. He greets a person with 'ADAB', but never with 'NAMASKAR'. He earns in billions in Hindu India, but has very soft corner for Pakistan ! Indian moviegoers should boycott his films !
Jalal ad-Din Afghani, the nineteenth-century reformer, once wrote, “Every Muslim is sick, and the only remedy is the Quran”. Western writer Conor Cruise O’Brien responded, “the sickness gets worse the more the remedy is taken”.
