Ministry of promotion of virtue and prevention of vice of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan said that growing beard is just a recommendation to people and that it is not mandatory.
The ministry in a Twitter post directed all the Taliban affiliates not to force people to grow beards and that this is a personal choice.
It comes after the ministry’s provincial offices’ directions over preventing trimming and shaving beards in some provinces aroused national and international reactions.
On the other hand, the ministry in its recent directions directed drivers not to seat two women in the front seat and totally avoid seating women who have not observed Islamic hijab.
The directions have also said that a woman cannot travel alone for more than 45 miles.
The Ministry of promotion of virtue and prevention of vice that was replaced by the ministry of women affairs is one of the strictest administrations of the Taliban that deals with the attitude and physical appearance of people.

I prefer shaving to scraping food out of a beard. That's just me.

[AlAhram] The General Prosecution released on Friday Ola El-Qaradawi pending investigation on Friday, an informed source told the state-owned MENA.
Ola El-Qaradawi was arrested in July 2017 with her husband Hossam Khalaf, a leading member of the Islamist Wasat Party, and have been investigated for joining a banned group and terror-related charges.
Ola El-Qaradawi, a 55-year-old housewife, graduated with a bachelor’s degree in biology from Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... University and completed her masters at the University of Texas-Austin in the United States.
Pretty hefty credentials for a little housewife....
She is the daughter of Youssef El-Qaradawi, the Islamic holy man who resides in Qatar. He is considered the spiritual leader of the terrorist-designated Moslem Brüderbund and is wanted in Egypt in connection with various criminal cases related to terrorism and inciting against the government.
Cairo has been demanding that Qatar hand over Youssef El-Qaradawi, 90, to stand trial in Egypt.
“But we hadda get ridda him, y’r honourship. He was doing his job too well!”
[SAHARAREPORTERS] The Nigerian Army (NA) has lost its bid to upturn a judgment compelling them to reinstate Colonel Danladi Ribah Hassan who was wrongly compulsorily retired in 2016.
According to PRNigeria, a three-member panel of the Court of Appeal in Abuja, in a judgment on Friday, dismissed the appeal by the Nigerian Army, former Chief of Army Staff, and others for lacking in merit.
The Nigerian Army had refused to obey an order of Industrial court for reinstatement of Colonel Hassan, a military Commander who led troops in recapturing Bulabulin and Damboa from Boko Haram ...not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... in August 2014.
The National Industrial Court in Abuja had in January 2019 ordered the immediate reinstatement of Colonel Hassan, one of the 38 officers compulsorily retired in 2016 by the Nigerian Army for no obvious reasons.
The trial judge, Justice Sanusi Kado, had held that with the failure of the Nigerian Army to convince the court of the disciplinary ground for compulsorily retiring the claimant, the said letter of compulsory retirement was null and void and of no effect.

[JUSTTHENEWS] U.S. crude oil production fell by 8% in 2020, the largest annual decrease on record, the U.S. Energy Information Agency reports.This plunge occurred one year after the U.S. reached a record annual average high of 12.2 million barrels a day in production in 2019.
In January 2020, U.S. crude oil production reached a peak of 12.8 million b/d. But with federal and state lockdowns halting travel over coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... fears, demand for oil dropped and production became too expensive to maintain.
By March 2020, the oil and gas industry experienced a "bloodbath," and by April, the WTI was negative $40 a barrel for the first time in history. Prices at the pump also reached historic lows.
To stop the hemorrhaging, crude oil operators shut in wells and limited the number of wells brought online, laying off large numbers of workers, all of which resulted in significantly lower output. By May 2020, U.S. crude oil production reached its lowest average monthly volume for the year at 10 million b/d, EIA reports.

[IsraelTimes] Announcement follows previous $150 million donation in April as Biden looks to restore aid to debt-ridden UN body pilloried by Israel for perpetuating conflict.
The State Department’s Population, Refugee and Migration Bureau said on Twitter that the money to the UN Relief and Works Agency will "provide education, health care, and emergency relief to hundreds of thousands of Paleostinian children and families during a time of need."
[IsraelTimes] The IDF was poised to launch a large-scale operation in the West Bank city of Jenin in recent months but halted the raid after Paleostinian Authority forces were pressured into acting, Channel 12 reported Friday, citing a conversation between Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi and confidants.
Kohavi reportedly said that the ability to get the PA to act in the city that is widely seen as a hotbed of activity for the Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, and Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... terror groups was a result of the close security cooperation that exists between Israel and the PA.
The security cooperation was a central theme of talks held earlier this week when PA President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase.... met with Defense Minister Benny Gantz at his home, the first time the Paleostinian leader has held talks with a senior Israeli official in Israel since 2010.
Reporting details from the conversation on Wednesday, both Channel 12 and 13 quoted Abbas as telling Gantz that he would not support a return to violence in the West Bank "even if a gun was held to my head."
Gantz was by the right-wing and some in his government for hosting Abbas, but Channel 12 said Kohavi’s comments should be seen as the "fruits" of the ongoing security coordination.
Jenin had seen repeated violent mostly peaceful incidents in recent months.
Israeli soldiers entering the area to conduct arrests were repeatedly met with gunfire. In late September, Islamic Jihad member Osama Soboh was killed during a shootout with Israeli troops near Jenin. Another four Paleostinians, including two members of the PA security forces, were killed during a shootout with Israeli soldiers in August.
In late November, the PA launched a series of crackdowns in Jenin but denied they were targetting Hamas and Islamic Jihad, saying instead that it was a law and order operation.
PA forces have suspects across the governorate as part of the operation, although precise details were not been publicized.
The PA forces were also frequently met with stone-throwing from local residents.
The Paleostinian Authority, which has limited self-rule in enclaves across the West Bank, is dominated by the nationalist Fatah movement. Fatah and Hamas have long fought one another; a bloody 2007 civil war between the two parties saw Hamas expel their rivals from the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip.
[IsraelTimes] Organization’s head says ’months of intense debate and discussion’ preceded ranking; cites alleged biased reporting, antisemitic staff
The BBC has been branded antisemitic by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, and placed third on its annual "Global Antisemitism Top Ten" list, according to a Sunday report.
First and second place went to Iran ...They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... and the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... -based Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, terror group, respectively.
The head of the organization, Marvin Hier, told the Daily Mail that "people might be surprised to see the BBC on our list, but the decision to place the BBC at No. 3 came after months of intense debate and discussion."
"We believe the BBC has been guilty of several incidences of antisemitism during the past year," he said.
"People might assume we would put neo-Nazi ...adherents of a philosophy that was seen even at the time as pure evil, which makes them either consciously and purely evil, or attention-seeking ratbags. Pick one, or both.... groups on our list," Hier told the paper, "but the BBC is there because when a globally recognized organization allows antisemitism to creep into its reporting, it makes it all the more insidious and dangerous."
The full list is to be released on Tuesday.
Hier cited the BBC’s reporting of an attack this month in London on a busload of Jewish teenagers, who were celebrating the Hanukkah holiday, by a group of men who chanted anti-Israel slogans. The report claimed that one of the apparent victims used an Islamophobic slur.
"The BBC falsely reported that a victim on the bus used an anti-Moslem slur. But what was heard on tape was a distressed Jewish man speaking in Hebrew, appealing for help," Hier said.
The top-ten list also noted that a journalist for the BBC — who has since been dismissed — tweeted that "Hitler was right" in 2014.
The pro-Israel Honest Reporting media watchdog flagged the seven-year-old tweet, which led the BBC to open an internal investigation that ultimately led to Tala Halawa’s firing.
Did the ransoms arrive, or where their captors just tired of the whining?
[Rudaw] Nine Kurds from Iran ...They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... have been released by The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... -backed Syrian holy warriors months after their failed attempt ...Curses! Foiled again!... to reach Europe, the family of one of the migrants colonists told Rudaw on Friday.
Sixty-six Kurdish migrants colonists were arrested in the Ottoman Turkish city of Aksaray on August 21. Eight migrants colonists were from the Iranian city of Paveh in Kermanshah province, with an additional migrant from Iran’s Sardasht city, and the rest drawing from the Kurdistan Region.
The migrants colonists identified themselves as Syrian in an attempt to avoid being deported to Iran and Iraq, but the Ottoman Turkish police handed them to the Ankara-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) - previously known as Syrian Free Army. The migrants colonists from the Region were released 11 days later, but the fate of the other nine remained unclear until Friday.
Rashin Roustami, the sister of one of the migrants colonists who has been running social media campaigns calling for their release, told Rudaw on Friday that she received a phone call from her brother, Afshar Roustami, who informed her that they all have been released by the SNA and are now in Turkey.
"After the completion of measures in Turkey, all of them will be returned to Eastern Kurdistan," added the sister of the migrant, referring to Kurdish areas in Iran.

This assumes the 'satellites' didn't hit their targeted trajectories on reentry. Not that the Iranians would have a 'civilian' MIRV test, no sirree, no way.
[An Nahar] President Michel Aoun ...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah... ’s clarification of his remarks about administrative and financial decentralization "has not convinced anyone," Shiite Duo sources have said."This clarification has not convinced anyone, because administrative decentralization is different than financial decentralization, and never in Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. ... ’s history has a president committed to the Taef Accord spoken of financial decentralization," the sources told al-Joumhouria newspaper in remarks published Friday.
In a statement issued Thursday, the Presidency had said that some politicians and journalists "went too far in their imaginations, whether deliberately or due to misinterpretation."
"President Aoun reminds those keen on Lebanon’s unity and claiming to be against its partitioning that he was the one who launched his famous slogan, ’Lebanon is too big to be swallowed and too small to be partitioned,’ during an official visit to Washington in 1978," the Presidency added.
"As for those who deliberately or inadvertently misunderstood the idea of broad administrative and financial decentralization in the President’s message, the Presidency would like to stress that administrative and financial decentralization go together, according to the Document of National Accord (Taef Accord)," the Presidency said.
