Punk haircut un-islamic

'Un-Islamic' haircut gets the chop...

A Malaysian teenager was given a forced haircut by Muslim authorities who deemed his punk-style "Mohican" un-Islamic.

The Star newspaper reported yesterday that the unnamed 17-year-old - described as a high school dropout - was caught by the Islamic Development Unit of Kota Baru, Kelantan, a north-eastern state controlled by the Islamic political party PAS.

The newspaper said officials lectured him against emulating "destructive culture" before taking the scissors to his red-dyed Mohican. Kelantan and neighbouring Terengganu are two of Malaysia's 13 states where the Parti Islam se-Malaysia (PAS) holds power.
