Pakistani militants issue moral code on mobile phone use
Link: Pakistani militants issue moral code in tribal area: witnesses
Pro-Taliban militants in a Pakistani tribal district have warned residents not to put musical ring tones or pictures in their mobile phones, witnesses said Wednesday. A pamphlet distributed in Khar, the main town of Bajaur district bordering Afghanistan, also told people not to shave their beards, listen to music or smoke cigarettes and hashish. Islamic militancy is spreading in conservative northwest Pakistan, where militants — emulating the ultra-orthodox Taliban who ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001 — are trying to impose their own strict brand of Islam.
