Why do most muslism insist on growing a massive beard ?

[LuisDantas]

My question is why doesn't everyone insist on growing massive beards?

They are freakin awesome.

I blame secularism. And razor blade technology.

What do beards have to do with anything?

 

[Revoltingest]

Many a smart Muslim guy wants to look like he's in ZZ Top. Who can fault'm for that?

When you grow a beard, even when you're 67, you can still whoop some ***.

Yes, "massive beards" not very wide spread in all Islamic countries. As for beards in general some do, some don't. And not all those who do grow it, do it for religious reasons.

Agreed. One tradition I do find amusing is that some old geezers dye their hair/beards with henna. That just looks so weird.

The beard in most cultures symbolizes patriarchy and resistance to the modern world of egalitarianism. If you understand Patriarchy, which is best defined as control by a usually older man, then it is no surprise that within Islam, a sexist and reactionary death cult from Arabia, that men insist on growing beards to show their supposed "authority".

With that in mind and those beliefs instilled in cultures, women don't stand a chance at gaining strength in their gender and its potential in our world.

Interesting.

While I know many muslims don't all wear beards I've heard in some countries like Afghanistan it is mandatory that they wear one. Shaving the beard is not only considered a form of disobedience to their prophet but a sign of effeminacy.

Aside from the beards and Islam in general, it does seem that many abrahamic religions favor mostly the older men in general. They are allowed to marry women younger than themselves but rarely the reverse and as many but never the reverse.

My grandpa can still whoop *** at age 80 and with a shaved face.

You don't want to mess with a guy who fought both in ww2 and the korean war. :no:

Yeah that's great. The only problem with your "logic" here, is that first men do Not insist on growing beards. There is no "insistence" whatsoever.

As for the idea that these beards, supposedly represents "authority" is just wrong. Everybody who grows a beard expresses "authority"?

 

[Badran]

They are allowed to marry women younger than themselves but rarely the reverse and as many but never the reverse.

You mean that women are not allowed to marry younger men???

It indeed keeps most secular woman away from me without having to do anything.

As most secular woman are brain washed by the clean shaven secular men gilletgel ads believing that they are princes who are never into phsycologycal emotional betrayl of infidelity.

My wife is very happy in me having this small but tidy beard. . It keeps away the unwanted.

I mean I never know what they are after: money, materalisim, one night stands, lonelyness, depression? Very difficult to know their motives nowday.

Wow, Secular social decedence and racisim both ways. This is unbelievable. I miss my trips to turkey, eygpet, morroco, dubai very nice and gentle bunch on their public transport system. A bit poorly and outdated transport but all round happiness.

I feel stressed watching that. Is this the kind of social coehesion trying to be exported to my homeland? Oh My.....

 

[Tarheeler]

They are awesomely itchy too :yes:

I've never had a problem with my beard itching.

But it's not a massive, I keep it under 1".

 

[Tiapan]

Its to make them look the same as the ultra orthodox jews.

Cheers

I don't know, I've often heard that it is usually the norm for men to either marry women their age or younger but not the other way around. Perhaps I'm wrong?

I saw it in a thread somewhere in the Muslim Dir. I don't exclude Islam, it seems it is that way in many abrahamic faiths. Perhaps it is more of a cultural thing than religious one? Are women allowed to marry men younger than themselves in your country?

Heeey. I thought you said (in the "Dominate" thread) those evil secular women are always flirting with you!

Doc has a goatee. He looks just a little bit evil with it.

Maybe with a little food here and there in the beard, that should repel those annoying secular chicks.

I say we push for civil war beards to make a comeback. Some inspiration:

Longstreet:

Burnside:

Pickett:

The Prophet married an older women, and deeply loved her the rest of his life. He loved her so dearly that after her death, he used to remember her often.
