Why do some Pashtun men grow long hair?

[DaZahroJaam.]

yeah because taliban tend to pick up women from the streets and the tie their nikahs with strangers before getting on with the raping business. and obviously, that is not rape.

I've spoken with a lot of Taliban critics, and if this piece of information was true it would've been mentioned by them.

not that i need you or anyone else to certify what i claim but while you depend on others to mention things to you, i have had the pleasure of living amongst these people for 3 or four years. i got to see their somewhat tolerable existence turn in to an extremely unacceptable one, in front of my own eyes.
i would never forget my father coming to pick us up from nangrahar to go back to kabul with a beard so long, none of his children would go to greet him because no one could recognize him. the poor man had to shave, grow another one and then take us back to kabul.

They were surely better than the rapists, mass murderers and pillagers of whom you are a proponent of obviously, because you show solidarity to them by having their stupid logo as your signature.

the ikhwan are rapists, mass murderers and pillagers?

when did you turn into el sisi?

Why do some Pashtun man grow long hair?

I think its culture and religion. Many colombians and Italians also grow long hair. Also in Islam i think its a sunnah to have long hair.

Let me school you, masoud, hukumatyar, sayyaf and rabbani are all die hard ikhwanis. In fact ikhwanis of Egypt and jamaate Islami still support hukumatyar. Although some tend to think Rabbani was their man.

Long hair isn't required in Islam.

wow i just got schooled, thanks king abdullah. most revolutionary muslim groups had some association with the ikhwan in decades past, including the talibans allies al qaeda. so what exactly is your point?

for someone who supports people who intentionally bomb civilians, you sure try to sound like a humanitarian.

Its sunnah. (No mandatory, but something that prophet did).

[Tiger Khan]

yeah my relatives in Jalalabad were telling me how women were being kidnapped and taken to the kuffars air base to be raped, but nope the Taliban were the incompetent ones

edit: perhaps people will disregard my relatives account because its coming from me, just for the record my relatives are not supportive of the Taliban AT ALL nor do they like them, but they don't like the corrupt puppet regime either or their warlord mafia figures in the area.

yep, compared to occupational forces Afghani taliban are acceptable. Do you know anything about sons of ishaq?

[El Camello]

Its sunnah. (No mandatory, but something that profit did).

I heard that the Prophet had long hair but I have another question:

I heard that dying one's hair red or orange with henna is also Sunnah.
Is this true?

And how come I've seen people in Pakistan do it but I've never seen anyone in the Middle East do it?

Killzai, is that you?!?!

Yes, read my life story thread - the original one that is, not the Tor_Khan version.

oh what a tragedy! Your father had to grow a beard

seeing that you have such animosity towards the beard, i don't accept your narrations at all. Was it an official Taliban policy to allow men to force nikahs? If so you should be able to provide some documented proof.

I think it depends on which school of thought within islam they follow. Most pakistanies are hanafi's. I am not a scholor though. Are you poerta rican, had a roommate from their once.
