I didn't know they had beards but no moustaches, let alone why. But now I've begun my journey of knowledge, so why not tell me why?

Because when the Amish started out a few hundred years ago in Germany, moustaches were associated with the military. Since the Amish beliefs told them to avoid the military profession they also avoided the moustaches. That is why there are no Amish with moustaches.

Suppose moustaches came into fashion, and at the same time, the military prohibited its members from having them. Then not having moustaches would be associated with the military. Would the Amish start wearing moustaches?
