Re: speaking of a beard…
Quran says not me just open the quran and read both arabic and translation if you don’t understand arabic
islam forbade us to marry mushrik
sura al baqra chapter 2 verse number 221
002.221
YUSUFALI: Do not marry unbelieving women , until they believe: A slave woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman, even though she allures you. Nor marry (your girls) to unbelievers until they believe: A man slave who believes is better than an unbeliever, even though he allures you. Unbelievers do (but) beckon you to the Fire. But Allah beckons by His Grace to the Garden (of bliss) and forgiveness, and makes His Signs clear to mankind: That they may celebrate His praise.
PICKTHAL: Wed not idolatresses till they believe; for lo! a believing bondwoman is better than an idolatress though she please you; and give not your daughters in marriage to idolaters till they believe, for lo! a believing slave is better than an idolater though he please you. These invite unto the Fire, and Allah inviteth unto the Garden, and unto forgiveness by His grace, and expoundeth His revelations to mankind that haply they may remember.
SHAKIR:** And do not marry the idolatresses** until they believe, and certainly a believing maid is better than an idolatress woman, even though she should please you; and do not give (believing women) in marriage to idolaters until they believe, and certainly a believing servant is better than an idolater, even though he should please you; these invite to the fire, and Allah invites to the garden and to forgiveness by His will, and makes clear His communications to men, that they may be mindful.
and we know mushrik is the one who worship other then Allah
and christen and jews are mushrik by this definition
sura al towba chapter 9 verse 31
009.031
YUSUFALI: They take their priests and their anchorites to be their lords in derogation of Allah, and (they take as their Lord) Christ the son of Mary; yet they were commanded to worship but One Allah: there is no god but He. Praise and glory to Him: (Far is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him).
PICKTHAL: They have taken as lords beside Allah their rabbis and their monks and the Messiah son of Mary, when they were bidden to worship only One Allah. There is no Allah save Him. Be He Glorified from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)!
SHAKIR: They have taken their doctors of law and their monks for lords besides Allah, and (also) the Messiah son of Marium and they were enjoined that they should serve one Allah only, there is no god but He; far from His glory be what they set up (with Him).
then how Allahs allows to marry in one ayat and forbade in other , it seems contradiction
but if we see on another place
sura Al imran ayat number 110
003.110
YUSUFALI: Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah. If only the People of the Book had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors.
PICKTHAL: Ye are the best community that hath been raised up for mankind. Ye enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency; and ye believe in Allah. And if the People of the Scripture had believed it had been better for them. **Some of them are believers; but most of them are evil-livers. **
SHAKIR: You are the best of the nations raised up for (the benefit of) men; you enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong and believe in Allah; and if the followers of the Book had believed it would have been better for them; **of them (some) are believers and most of them are transgressors.

from this Allah gave shadat that among jews and chirstens there will be some people who believe only in Allah and will not believe jesus as son of God
and some how “dawat of Islam” wouldn’t have reached them in true sense so they havn’t converted to islam as well
so only muslim man can marry only that chirsten or jew girl , who believe in oneness of Allah , who believe that jesus was not sun of God and was prophet of God
so we can’t marry any julie , marry etc etc
if they believe in oneness of Allah and believe that Jesus was prophet of Allah not son of Allah then you can marry her otherwise not
i don’t take jews as non ahley kitaab but as people transformed from ahley kitab to mushrik as stated by quran
when ever in Quran Allah wants to talk about specially jews and christens he refer them with name jew and christens
like in
009.030 وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ عُزَيْرٌ ابْنُ اللَّهِ وَقَالَتِ النَّصَارَى الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ اللَّهِ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُمْ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ يُضَاهِئُونَ قَوْلَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ أَنَّى يُؤْفَكُونَ
009.030 The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah’s curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!
and many time on other places in quran
and now if you say that only jews and christens are ahley kitab
you surely deny the verse of quran
013.038 وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَذُرِّيَّةً وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُولٍ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ بِآيَةٍ إِلا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ لِكُلِّ أَجَلٍ كِتَابٌ
013.038 We did send messengers before thee, and appointed for them wives and children: and it was never the part of a messenger to bring a sign except as Allah permitted (or commanded). For each period is a Book (revealed).
Al-Qur’an, 013.038 (Ar-Rad [The Thunder])
i hope you understand
second all this is not stated by me , these are the verses of Quran which says marry ahley kitab and do not marry mushrik and jews and christens worship other then Allah and mushrik
just go and read quran
