‘Men without beards cause indecent thoughts in other men because they look like women’ – Turkish Islamic preacher

A Muslim cleric in Turkey has claimed that ‘men without beards cause indecent thoughts in other men because they look like women’ and urged men to grow beards to differentiate them from women.

According to Hurriyet Daily News, Murat Bayaral made the remarks when speaking on TV show Fatih Medreseleri last weekend, where he slammed men without beards.

Men should grow beards, Bayaral said.

One of the two body parts that separate men from women is the beard. 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.

Do you agree with him?
