Islamic preacher in Turkey says men without beards may cause ‘indecent thoughts’
ISTANBUL
An Islamic preacher in Turkey has drawn a backlash after suggesting that clean-shaven men sometimes "cannot be distinguished from women" and can cause "indecent thoughts."
Speaking on the private religious station Fatih Medreseleri (Madrasahs) TV on Dec. 16, preacher Murat Bayaral blasted beardless men and said there is no need to receive permission from wives for a man to shave his beards.
“Men should grow beards. One of the two body parts that separate men from women is the beard," Bayaral said.
"For example, if you see a man with long hair from afar you may think he is a woman if he does not have a beard. Because nowadays women and men dress similarly. God forbid! You could be possessed by indecent thoughts,” he added.

Some men can pull off the look - most cannot. I look forward to this latest craze to dwindle.
OMG!
This is such nonsense....
I could never be living in Turkey as a «real man» because I'm TOTALLY hairless and NEVER can grow a beard.
It's genetic in my family: dad never had a beard, my brother and even my 2 sons are totally hairless.
Those religious «standards» are such idiot stuff.
When religion tells such imbecile ideas, it shows how bigots they are.
The same for ultra Christians in USA.
Just listening to how they speak of LGBT and almost vomit... YERK!
Such haters when their own religious principals say «LOVE thy neighbor and even your ennemies...» BLA, BLA, BLA...
Amen and Amen.
