I have a feeling people will interpret the image differently depending on age. To me it looks intentionally altered to have the look and feel of a most wanted photo or a screen grab they'd show on the news in the US when reporting Middle East conflict. Particularly what you'd see in the 90s and early 2000s post 9/11.

Besides the beard his eyes are also made to look very dark.

I'd say the entire color balance of the one on the right was tweaked specifically to remove the sparkle of humanity that can be seen in the one on the left.

It definitely looks like a most wanted photo from that age.

For some reason it's making me think of the old PC game SWAT 2. I think they had mug shots for the terrorist side?
