I have noticed all the beards/mustaches all ges of males are growing. This a.m. I stopped at a Starbucksfo a coffee and the guys behnd he counter had short beards and staches. A young father in front of me in line also sported the same. I asked what up with all the Isis beards and they all looked surprised. None of them had thought about the idea, but it did start a conversation.

All the men are wearing Muslim beards and all the women are wearing these big scarf things around their necks that look to me like they could be head coverings and look very Muslim.
People imitate their masters. Even when they don’t know it.
scarves have always been popular in one form or another.
however the “Palestinians” did try and make certain scarves of certain patterns into a fashion statement.
young men wearing beards/hipsters, steampunkers, etc are more a combination of various factors- wanting a manly look in a world where men are not really allowed to be men, it’s a retro fashion trend, and not wanting to shave your face every day.
Wow. I hate those scarves. But I never thought of imitation. The beard thing happened in America when Castro took over Cuba.
I apologize for all my typos. Neck problems and tiny keyboard.
