Re: Shaving The Beard:
I can see some (a bit, not a lot) sense in the infection and protection arguements. Similarly there's some sense in using beards w.o mustache as a distinguishing mark (again, a bit, not a whole lot). All 3 ofcourse are no longer valid as reasons.On the flip side If religion is to be used for such silly matters to dictate to people and that too to make them do senseless things, it is usurpation of religion by those who say religion wants you to do this and that.Todate nobody has shown me any proof that says all words of the Holy Quron must be followed verbatim. I find it incredible that such a book of global wisdom will not have made provisions for adopting to changes, progress in human thought and circumstances.
