Kadîrov le cere cecenilor să-și scurteze bărbile

Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov criticized young Chechens for wearing long beards and shorts, claiming it is a fashion statement rather than a religious practice. He emphasized that religious symbols should not be used for fashion and insisted that beards should be worn according to religious guidelines. Kadyrov also condemned women covering themselves completely with veils, stating it is an Arab custom and not traditional for Chechens. He has previously expressed strong opposition to the burqa and niqab, urging Chechen women to wear hijabs instead, threatening violence against those who oppose this choice.
