Teenager's Haircut Given the Chop
The link is an article on ABCnews.com that talks about a teenage boy with "punk-style Mohican" hair being given a forced cut by the local Islamic authorities in a Malaysian province. What I found most interesting about the article is that the author equates the forced haircut to other oppressive measures of conformity such as women wearing head covering and prohibitions of gambling and alcohol consumption.
.. a Red-dyed Mohican...

Thats because religious practices are often oppressive and forced on a population in which it is the dominiate belief.
That is why we don't have and don't want a theocracy here in America.
