My beard makes me look like the human reincarnation of snarf from thundercats.

Inshallah, It will, with a little shaving, look proper. Sort of like prince of persia style.

The beard is also a badge of a muslim male. Muslims are supposed to greet each other by saying salam. How can we tell if a clean-shaven man is muslim or not? We can't. The doubt is enough to stop one from saying salam. So the one benefit of having beard is immeditely apparent from this. See how this one sunnah is intricately linked with another.

The funny thing about this is that many non Muslims aswell tend to have a beard, many Jews have and for example those funny hippies I see daily have too. Real Sheikh-like beards. :D They usually dress like any other, sometimes even quite Islamic, and based on the fact they've got a beard would you say salam? :giggle: This is a dilemma some might find, innit.

I live in an area where there are very few Muslims. On the rare occasion that I see a hijabi Muslimah in a marketplace or when I am traveling it brings joy to my heart to see such courage and strength of faith. Right or wrong, I very often extend the Islamic greeting to sisters-in-faith when I have the chance. My wife and I actually met a very dear Muslim family from Turkey at a carnival for kids in this very manner.

Sadly, not enough brothers follow the Sunnah of wearing a beard such that a man with a beard and short mustache is assumed to be Muslim. Actually, where I live there are quite a few Mennonite Christians who religiously wear a beard. http://bibleviews.com/holdeman.html "In addition to simplicity in dress, we believe men should wear a beard, and Christian women should wear the devotional head-covering."
 
Firstly I'd like to say that on matters where there are difference of opinion, it is better not to state the opinion you follow as though it is 'the only way'. This is what creates unnecessary disputes between muslims that are now so very rife. It is better to accept the difference as a positive diversity within Islam.

The two sources of the Shari`ah - the Qur'an and the Sunnah - are silent as far as the matter of beard is concerned....

There are however, a few narratives of the Prophet (pbuh) in this regard. The directives in these narratives refer to particular and specific contexts. For instance, if the Prophet (pbuh) saw some deviances in this nature of man or where a particular style of beard was wrongly held to be divinely ordained, the Prophet (pbuh) gave the ascribed remarks to correct the concept. It is primarily in such contexts that the Prophet (pbuh) gave the ascribed directives regarding beard. It is not the Shari`ah that is explained in such narratives, but the directive to adhere to the nature on which God has created man. It should be remembered that one of the primary teachings of the prophets of is to bring man to the path that his nature has prescribed for him....

Nevertheless, because the issue is not one based on any express directives of the Shari`ah, there can be a difference of opinion in this regard.

Anyway, I don't think this is worthy of lengthy discussion, rather I would say that the priority of a beard in relation to other Islamic practise (such as the behaviour and character of a Muslim) is not high. Again I would emphasise the fact that it is extremely wrong for one to judge another Muslim on such factors.

Those who are making a comparison between the beard and the hijab are wrong, as the Hijab (for male and female) is mentioned in the Qur'an and is part of Shari'ah but the beard is a matter of narration where no direct ruling is given.

Please, don't say things like that without reason. It's called over-reacting :)
