Kidnapped and fined by Muslims for not having a "proper" beard?
And then not going to press charges against the group, because it would create more trouble?
Guys I hate to tell you this but if you do not push back against the injustices they will only get worse.
Press legal charges with the legal government make a public and international stink about what these Muslim idiots are doing.
It is the only way to stop them or at least slow them down.

BARA: A local journalist and a dispenser were fined by the militants in Bara tehsil in Khyber Agency for sporting small beard, tribal sources said on Sunday.
Hidayatullah, a correspondent for an Urdu newspaper, was kidnapped by the militants and was released after he promised to pay Rs5,000 as fine for sporting a small beard, the sources said.
Talking to The News, Hidayatullah said that he had gone to his home in Sorkas area of Bara tehsil where he was kidnapped by militants belonging to the militant group Amr Bil Maroof Wa Nahi Anil Munkar (Promotion of Virtue and Prohibition of Vice).
He said that he was kept in the private jail of militants for around six hours in Qambarkhel area and released after he promised to pay the fine. “I was released on the condition that I will appear before the shura of the militant group on Monday,” he said.
He added that the armed group was working for maintaining peace in the area and he was not going to raise the issue at the forum of Tribal Union of Journalist.
The president of TUJ, Khyber Agency chapter Qadir Khan said that they didn’t want to protest the kidnapping of their colleagues because it would create more problems for local journalists in the area.
Meanwhile, the militants belonging to Lashkar-e-Islam abducted a dispenser identified as Abdul Majeed Khan from near his house in Jhansi area of Bara tehsil. The sources said that he was fined Rs3,000 by the militants for sporting a small beard. The militants insist that every male should have a full and Shariah-compliant beard. |
