Is this the world's most dangerous moustache?

Any lesser man would give in. After the kidnapping, the death threats, the forced separation from a wife and ten children, most men would just shave it off.

But Malik Amir Mohammad Khan Afridi is not "most men".
With a moustache that would make Goliath's father jealous, Afridi has faced down some of the scariest people on the planet.

"People give me a lot of respect. It's my identity," he told the AFP news agency. "I feel happy. When it's ordinary, no one gives me any attention. I got used to all the attention and I like it a lot," said the 48-year-old grandfather.

But the Pakistani businessman's wonder whiskers have provoked the wrath of armed groups in the beautiful northwestern Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province on the Afghan border.

In my youth I sported a handle bar moustashe and it didn't get a lot of attention after the first second or two. The only time anyone asked me about it was a Iraian who had come to train on the communications for the National Iranian Radio and TV that I was building. He asked me if I was Christan?
Apparently in Iran there are those who are fanatical about things who do the handle bars as a statement.

I preferred to think of it as providing a sight picture for pussy.

This type was very popular with certain RAF types in WW2, particularly pilots.
The difference was the pilots curled the ends (would not fit in the oxygen mask, else).
