President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev during the meeting with the Spiritual Board of Muslims of Kazakhstan on April 19 spoke for the banning of all-black clothing for women and beards for men.
He said (men's) short pants and beard "never were our traditions" and suggested to consider banning it at the legislative level, the Akorda reported.
Nazarbayev made an emphasis on "religious ignorance of the younger generation," which is the reason why the young men now grow beards and shorten their pants.
"The number of all-black covered Kazakhstani girls is increasing lately. This suits neither our traditions nor the people. We must work on prohibition [of beards and black clothes] at the legislative level. Kazakh people wear black only for mourning," said Kazakh President.
"The true Muslim is recognized not by clothes, but love in his heart," Nazarbayev adds. From Akorda.Kz.
