[mukto-mona] Beards not Islam



Please read the following. Moslims failed to prove in Supreme Court of India that wearing Beard was their Religios Right. Now you should remember 2nd largest Moslim Population lives in USA and it could not prove it and here in USA we are being fooled by just a few, who want ignorant USA to let them keep wearing their Beards in US Armed Forces.
 
If the same question was put in front of Indian Supreme Court about wearing Borqah or covering face of Moslim Females, they would lose again but here in the West we are very guilty conscious about banning Borqah or Moslim Females claiming that its Religious Right to have their face covered.
 
Some Moslim Female Immigrants have tried to change laws in the West by refusing to be pictured for Drivers Licsence saying its against Islam and one of the 10 Commandments. The Question is, when no Moslim Country issues a Passport without a Photograph, how can we accept this lie?
 
The West is acting like a fool by letting Bearded Men and Borqah Clad Women enter their countries. They are not desparate Meeks of the world seeking shelter, they are JehaaDis increasing their population in the West to conquer it pretending to be deprived discriminated masses of the world.

Islam does not mandate Muslims to keep beard: India Air Force

IAF to rethink on Muslim beard issueDhananjay Mahapatra, TNN 24 July 2009, 03:55am IST

NEW DELHI: The Indian Air Force is taking a fresh look at its tough stand not to allow a Muslim personnel to sport a beard.

While the Air Force had on an affidavit in the Supreme Court strongly argued that Islam does not mandate its members to keep a beard or not to trim it, realisation that its tough stand could incite a controversy led it to tell the court that it would look at the sensitive issue anew.

Responding to a petition filed by one Mohammad Zubair challenging the Air Force's policy not to allow Muslim recruits to keep beard if on the date of joining they did not have it, the IAF said, "All Muslims do not carry beard."

"The practice of growing and keeping beard is optional and sporting a beard is not universally recognised in the religion of Islam. Therefore, it cannot be said that Muslim religion prohibits the cutting of hair or shaving of the face of its member," it told the Supreme Court in an affidavit.

Having said this on an affidavit, the Centre realised that such a stand could stoke a huge religious controversy. Appearing for the government, additional solicitor general Indira Jaising told a Bench comprising Justices D K Jain and H L Dattu on Monday that the government was taking a fresh look at the issue.

While deferring hearing for eight weeks, the Bench noted in its order: "The ASG appearing on behalf of the Union of India states that fresh thought is being given to the controversy raised in the present petition. She prays for adjournment. "

The IAF in its affidavit had said that its decision not to allow Muslims who did not have a beard at the time of joining the force to grow a beard was also judicially approved.

It cited a 1985 decision of the Kerala High Court, which had held that Muslim personnel serving in the armed forces like the state police cannot grow beard as a matter of right and that they were bound by the departmental instructions in this regard.

"For the effective and efficient functioning of such a large combatant force, with 11,000 officers and about 1.2 lakh (120,000) personnel below the officers, it is imperative and essential that its personnel are guided by a sense of brotherhood and feeling of `espirit-de- corps' without any distinction of caste, creed, colour or religion," the IAF's affidavit said.
