beards ..etc.



I noticed that Bush made particularl reference to the Taliban requirements
that beards must be at least a certain length. Sikhs are not allowed to cut
any body hair as I understand it. They all have beards don't they? I wonder
how the Sikhs must feel about such a reference.
    Religious restrictions particularly upon women are just about as strict
in Saudi Arabia it would seem as in Afghanistan. I wonder how Bush's
references to fundamentalist religious practices will  go over there..

Cheers, Ken Hanly
