i think you are forgetting the beard is not the problem, it is the ideology.
i'll call the gov actions as religious discrimination, and its not going to solve anything.
You are right, it is not the beard but the ideology behind the beard. Unfortunately, Govts can not see the ideology or the mind of the man. They sees only the beard or the lack of it. The beard stems from a certain ideology. Everyone knows the Sunnat. Some flaunt it. Some don't. Not wearing a beard can mean two things. It may mean that the person does not like beards or that the person would love to wear a beard but does not wish to arouse suspicion.....yet. Govts are really blind. Branding blind Govts as discriminatory only strengthen the hands of those who wear the beard as a mark of their identity.
