These guys are not practicing Muslims!
Is it the Western clothing?
Is it the scruffy look?
Is it the smile for the camera?
Is it the cool manly look?
Perhaps it's the dolls?
Nope! You can tell they are not practicing Muslims because none of the above men have beards! The men below are good, practicing Muslims.
Ah, a pair of good practicing Muslims.
Jackpot!
Six good Muslims!
These must be good Muslims too, eh?

Guess how many times "beard" or "beards" appears in the Qur'an? Exactly one time.
In 20:94 where Aaron, speaking to Moses after Moses confronts him about the golden calf says: "O Son of my mother, seize me not by my beard, nor by my head."
That's it, the one and only reference in the Holy Qur'an to beards.

it don't hafata be in the Quran. It only takes the devout to look at Muhammad and see that he had a beard for most devout Muslims to KNOW that having a beard is closer to Muhammad and Allah.
If Allah's chosen one has a beard it must be right!!!

How would we know??
Hope all is well with you my friend.
