I read this about the beard/no mustache... (5) "Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) ordered us to trim the moustache closely and spare the beard" says Ibn Umar. - Muslim, Hadith no. 449

What NutritionMom said and also that, its more of a cultural thing. Mostly in afghanistan, u will hardly ever see a moustache. But in Iraq, you hardly ever see a beard.. they are mostly mustaches. In pakistan, its ugly to rock a beard without a mustache, so they go together unless its just a mustache. I personally prefer & currently support a chinstrap with a goatee. But its not a goatee cuz, its a chinstrap. Nice right?

Same reason a Quaker or Amish person doesn't I suppose.

Having a beard but no mustache is Sunnah, meaning that is the way the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) chose to have his beard. Therefore, Muslims follow the same practice to be closer to him.
-
It is a hadeeth, i.e. tradition of the Prophet Muhammed (Sunnah) as opposed to something from the Qur'an. Muslims are encouraged to follow the traditions of the Prophet... live by his example.

its the sunnah.plus it distinguishes a male from a female. you can even find this in the wild i.e the lion.

Muslims have beard but no moustache, as it is considered Haram, esp. when you drink water your moustache could have dirt or germs so its does not go into your body. I am not a muslim if i am wrong then i am sorry.

Why do they do anything.
-
it is only a sunna issue, i have never seen a shia with a beard and no moustache and to why they do so is they blv that doing so makes them be closer to the prophet Mohammed just like wearing short "kandura" (the traditional arabian dress for men)

fatwahs... every holyman in islam can issue fatwahs at a whim... and the wiser followers are obligated to follow these directives
