I can't remember how I found this site, but I got to looking at some of these rules and there is something to cover just about every part of your life.

Quote:

Q1403: Is shaving the beard considered as sin?
A: According to obligatory caution, shaving the beard is ḥarām. Therefore, rulings and consequences of a sinful act are applied to it as a matter of caution.

Q1404: What is the view on shaving one’s moustache? Is it permissible to let it grow long?
A: There is no objection to shaving the moustache, nor is there any objection to leaving it to grow long. However, to let it grow long in such a way that the hair comes into contact with food and drink while one is eating or drinking is disliked.

I tried to get the link to go straight to the laws part but couldn't for some reason. Anyway the Practical Laws of Islam link is on the right side of the page.

So what point is it that you're wanting to make ?

That there are a LOT of nasty negatives about the Islamic "religion" is well known by anyone willing to pay attention.

That ANY religion can produce serious nasty negatives depending on which nut is doing the interpreting is well known too.

Yes, Islam needs a serious reformation. Until that happens it will be at war with the rest of the world like it always HAS been. This is going to be a long and painful and nasty process. It was going to happen one way or another SOMEDAY. The sooner we can start the process OFF the closer we'll be to the end of it. One wonders if THAT was some of what was behind going into Iraq.
