Here's a wacky, irreverant question, which I hope you all won't take too seriously, but consider this: Czar Nicholas II was disgusted with the stubbornly backward thinking of the Russian aristocracy. He figured that if these men were forced to be more modern, they would stop thinking like it was still the Middle Ages. So, he ordered them all clean shaven. (if they refused, he had guards pluck out their whiskers one by one until they relented)
Would this work for the unwashed, undereducated, bearded Taliban crew? Are they still thinking like it's 700 A.D. because they look the part?
