[quote]You say: 
 [i]Theorectically, having a beard should refrain one from doing certain acts such as going clubbing, going to the cinema etc etc simply because when one chooses to have a beard, society seems to categorise them as someone who is pious. [/i]

This point is well appreciated. Something which is supposedly percieved as a religious symbol can potentially stop people from doing inappropriate things. However, there is a great danger that if people adorned with such symbols resort to evil means, they will also destroy the image of the religion they are representing as you yourself have also alluded to.

You then say:

[i]then there is a chance of those Non-Muslims categorising Islam and all Muslims based on that person's behaviour, hence giving Islam a bad name. Not everyone will judge Islam based on its teaching (i.e. the Qur'an and Sunnah), but some will base it on what they see other Muslims do and say. [/i]

I also agree on this point. Muslims should live a responsible life; they should know that they are the representative of Islam, whether they accept it or not; the world evaualate Isalm on the basis of their actions and words. They ought to become a good representative of it or openly declare that they have left the bounds of Islam.

My first question however remains unanswered. The question is:

A moustache can also differentiate between male and female. Would it be okay if a man has a moustache and not a beard?
