Taliban Bans Western Clothing as Un-Islamic

(Peshawar, Pakistan) People are being warned by Taliban thugs about wearing Western clothing.

“I received a piece of paper written in Pushto, saying that doctors and medical workers are wearing un-Islamic dress which should be stopped,” said Abdul Hammed Afridi, chief executive of Peshawar’s main government hospital. “It was from Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP),” he said. [...]

“Last week one of our colleagues was kidnapped by the Taliban, beaten and warned that pharmaceutical staff should stop wearing western dress,” said Nasir Khan, president of a medical representatives’ organisation. “They put a warning letter in his pocket after beating him,” he said.

Western-style trousers and T-shirts appear to be the targets of the campaign.
