Bar those who pluck eyebrows

O.K this is just silly ! Religions always have some sort of silliness , but this is over the top ! The Unibrow reigns supreme in the Sikh religion ! Unshorn ! the practice of never cutting , plucking or Shaving , any body part of its hair ! Man am I glad that I live in the USA ! The thought of a woman with legs as hairy as a Mans , makes me want to toss my lunch !

NEW DELHI - AN INDIAN court has upheld a decision by a religious body to deny a female student who plucked her eyebrows admission to a Sikh university, media reports said on Sunday.

The ruling said faith-based educational institutions had the right to refuse admission to students who did not meet religious standards, as 'maintaining hair unshorn is an essential component of the Sikh religion,' according to the Press Trust of India.

The policy had been challenged by Gurleen Kaur after she was denied admission to the Sri Guru Ram Das Institute of Medical Sciences and Research in the Sikh holy city of Amritsar.

Ms Kaur was excluded on the grounds that she was not a 'true Sikh as she was plucking her eyebrows,' according to the Times of India.

Sikhism requires men and women to keep their hair uncut at all times, and many men sport lengthy beards and wear turbans to cover their long hair.

For crying out loud - what is is with these people and their obsession with body hair???

This will skeeve you out, #1Infidel. I was riding on a train in Italy once and was forced to sit and watch some guy with his arm over his girlfriend's shoulder twirl and play with her armpit hair.

Eeee-uuuw!

Hope Kyros is enjoying his European va-kay. Haha.
