That's just ridiculous. It's like saying you should be suspicious of someone with freckles, or long eyebrow hair. Next you'll be saying green eyed people are evil.
I'm sure you're just taking the piss... but if you're not, then you should seek help. :P

Michelangelo painted God with a beard.
EVERYONE paints Jesus with a beard.
As someone else pointed out, Father Christmas is always portrayed with a beard.
Confucius is usually portrayed with a beard.
Of course, Mohammed had a beard.
The scribes who wrote down the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures were bearded.
'These bearded folk' you say? WHICH bearded folk would that be, now?
Nearly all adult human men grow facial hair. Whether or not they grow it long, that's roughly half the human population. Heck, my old mum has a nice growth of beard!
I agree, we should be suspicious of nearly all men, but that's just because I'm an angry, bearded feminist. LOL
Your question is rather like asking, 'Should we [be] suspicious of these people who wear hats'?
Many religions (Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox Catholicism, Islam, Judaism, Amish Protestantism, Sikhism...) require their believers and/or clergy not to walk bare-headed before God.
Everyone KNOWS how shifty those Amish are... <-- sarcasm.
Ditto the men growing facial hair (Judaism, Sikhism, Eastern Orthodox Catholicism, some sects of Islam).
Some blokes do it because they LOOK BETTER with beards, or 3-day-growth:
Sean Connery, Raymond Burr, Brad Pitt, Hugh Laurie, Tom Petty, James Doohan..., and that's just white blokes in film and on the telly.
Something's not right with YOU, if you ask me. Which you did.
I'll lay odds all your great-grandfathers, and probably grandfathers were bearded. Shaving was a privilege of the wealthy and non-working, in Britain and the USA.

Well as us blokes naturally grow facial hair then that would make every male over a certain age odd, as I will guarantee that at some point they have not shaved for a few days thus having a beard!!!

Never judge a book by it's cover! My husband has had a beard most of our 27 years of marriage, and he's the sweetest, most trustworthy person you will ever meet! I have met quite a few beardless guys that are total jerks, though!
It's what's on the inside that counts.

Completly agree. I went camping in the UK in August. The weather was fowl and the shower block worse. So I didn't venture near it. As a result I grew a beard and whats worse I kept it. I have noticed my personality change completly and I no longer trust myself.

Only in the case of females. And I'm not talking about the lower beard.

haha. funny question. My dad has a beard and he's one of the most trustworthy people I know. So, I think you can trust people with beards. Besides, Santa Claus has a beard!

Since I wear a full beard, I would say yes.
You should be suspicious of everyone around you.
Santa spends a lot of time with small children, watch him closely.

A beard hides the mouth and prevents us reading their expression as easily. And yet - it has to be more natural.

Personally I think I look better with a beard, provided it is well trimmed.
