BG- Good work. The top picture of Levon is from the wire services. You were right on with that boxing shot!
"Given the beards, what're the odds that they have become some kind of Muslim?"
Look carefully Dave -- one of them has the 'prayer bump' (zabiba); so these were devout Muslims for sure.

Dave - check the photos; they seem to have some sort of mark in the middle of the forehead that resembles the marks many Muslim men are proud of as it shows how devout they are (the forehead touches the floor when bowing, and after awhile, the forehead gets some sort of permanent scar or bruised-looking mark).
