Hello friends,
Human behavior is always affected by external appearances whether we accept it or not. Just look around the matrimonials - "wanted tall fair good looking..." Have you seen a matrimonial which says "good at cooking"? Even Saudi Airlines has young, thin, smart air hostesses on its aircraft for serving tea and coffee. The advertisement is attached. I am sure I can competently serve tea and coffee to passengers, but they wouldn't take me. In fact, probably you could write to them and ask them why this discrimination against:
- Men
- Not so beautiful women
- Overweight women
- Older women
We don't live in a perfect world, but that's how it is. Learn to go with the flow.
Humanity is more important than the superficial display of religion. Look for opportunities to cooperate and collaborate. Don't look for flimsy excuses to differentiate.

Dear Kriyaz,
Request you to kindly refer to my view (attachment) in this same forum. You might be right, but I disagree with you. The things mentioned by you for the particular positions are prerequisites (job specification) for it. If this is so, why does a person with a beard only can be an "Imam" of a Mosque? Why not a shaven gentleman? Because the job specification or prerequisite for that position demands a beard. We should not take requirements for a job as discrimination.
