I believe that's a milled receiver. I thought forged was only a term for AR lowers.

It makes them less attractive so they don't have to beat the women away with a stick.

Mohammed told them to do it.

They are trying to look like they have Nordic blood, so as to intimidate the Infidels.

Islamic Jihadist Berzerkers!!!

Its so they can spawn more Overlords and lead an almighty Zerg rush in the name of the Overmind.

It's how you distinguish them from Muslim women.

from some blog that google led me to:

"Many Muslim men in the Mideast and Pakland (Pakistan/Afghanistan/Northern India) dye their beards red with henna in imitation of Muhammad. Many accounts of Muhammad portray him as having reddish-hair."

Wouldn't they get themselves beheaded for that?

I mean if just NAMING a teddy bear after him and drawing cartoons of him can get their burkhas in a bunch, I can only imagine how creating a likeness of him in themselves must offend the most die-hard Muslims.

Maybe these guys are preparing for jihadist martyrdom? If they are going to be spending their first night in paradise with seventeen virgins, things are bound to get a little messy. By dying their beards red, their jihadist martyr buds won't tease them by saying that they "earned their wings" the night before.

Is the "Red Beard" thing something that they go their whole lives with?

Do they dye it as youth and contiue dying it forever or do they go 40 years with dark brown and then suddenly dye it red?

If it's a recent dye-job I'd be concerned but if you've always seen Joe Hajji walking around with red then that by itself shouldnt justify alarm.

So, I would have me head removed for creating an image in the likeness of their saviour, but they can dress up like him as though it were halloween in the middle east and all is ok?

F them and their ideas....i dont get those people and I dont want to.

Hey, just because they dress in bedsheets doesn't mean they're immune to the influences of the fashion world. The with the red beards are the trendy ones.

It may not be dyed. My hair on top's a dark brown, but my beard has streaks/patches of red in it. (but I'm Irish/English)

People living in/near Iran arent always of Arab lineage.

Got me. Perhaps it's a sign of reaching a certain point in their life. It seems as if mostly older men do it.

It turns them into sex magnets for the hot babes that abound in that part of the world;

"Sexual tyrannosaurs" would be the best way to decribe them.

Uhh maybe he has a red beard? I have a red beard and dark brown hair. Hell I've even got red hair in my eyebrows. Look at my sideburns. I've also had gray/white hairs since I was a young teen too (in my hair not my beard).

Er, take another look at the OP's picture. Their beards are a kind of bright red/magenta. A color not normally found in nature, except for tropical fish. Look at the old guy in the back left of the pic. Yep, that guy.

After a bit of junior league research, it looks like genetic mutation is a much more likely cause.

Lighting is everything. I'm not saying that it IS genetic and not dyed, but I don't think the color is terribly far off. I knew a guy named kelly with a bright red beard that you might have thought was fake, but it wasn't. Their beards are also intertwined with black/brown hair, just like mine. If they dyed it, I don't think the black would be coming through as well as it is.

I suppose growing up in a country that has been at war for almost 30 years would not lend itself to "soft" living and you might wear that life on your face.

As to the significance...vanity perhaps?
Maybe they just wanted to look younger.
