Everybody knows there is something very disturbing about men (and women even more so) with moustaches. It's just like you can't put your finger on it, but you feel uneasy somehow. For example if your new neighbour turned out to have a moustache you would start locking your door every night..

Maybe not all moustachioed men turn out to be psychopath murderers, but that could just be due to not having the opportunity/means...

Check out this highly scientific article I just 'came across' on Google

30 Most-Dangerous Moustaches in History

Are we extrapolating to conclude that redminnow must have a moustache?

I suspect that he has some kind of combination between the bushiness of Uncle Joe and the handlebar length of Zapata.

No I don't think he has the balls to pull off a mustache. His crap is only for the Internet.
I am willing to bet it either is a Dutch or a Chinstrap! Both are without mustaches btw :

Too right, I do actually keep a mustache, but I can tell you that I am not a hairy creature. The other day I was at a swimming pool and there was that fat Asian fellow in a swimming trunk floating on water on his tummy. I just thought for a moment, how did this fairy bear got into the pool, until I got closer and discovered that it was not actually a bear!!

I did it for medical reasons, completely flushed my system. Didn't tell anyone, didn't try to get anyone arrested for eating in front of me and don't think I am holier or better than others for doing it.

Was it really for medical reasons, or you were actually jealous of the Muslims? you may be contemplating a new religion mate. If that’s the case then let me tell you that you are not the first one to have done so. Thousands of man-made religions have come and go, but if you are serious about it then let me teach you a few tips on how to start and attract big followers. First, you need to create some rituals, and since it is a man-made religion you’d certainly need to think of some kind of rituals that have appeals to the animal part of the people. So for example, you can create an annual get together festival for your men and women followers and call it “bang it all the way”, something of a fetish nature, if you know what I mean.

Keep a mustache is not very Halal. The pious religious Muslims shave their mustache or atleast keep it trimmed really short.

You seem to be well informed in the subject of the Islamic ruling regarding men’s moustaches. Actually there are no such rulings and all what you have just said are basically traditions from the India subcontinent. Would be interesting, to know what your preferences are regarding men’s moustaches! All my women would rather had me without a moustache, and I keep telling them a kiss without a moustache is like an egg without the salt!!!

Well I read the trimmed/short mustache preference/halal on Islamic websites. Never heard that it is an Indian thing or not.

Below website quotes Islamic texts regarding the Mustache and whether to trim or shave it off completely. Since it quotes Muhammed and early Islamic figures, it is not an Indian thing .

Ruling on shaving the moustache - islamqa.info

The above link states that the Hanafi and Hanbali Madh'habs say to shave it off. The Maalikis and Shaafis Madh'habs say only to trim and shaving is Makrooh (disliked). Ibn Malik stating it as being Bidah . I can see why it would be considered Bidah, since shaving implements that give a close shave couldn't have been around at the time of Muhammed.
