(AP) FORT HOOD, Texas - A military judge has again held the Fort Hood shooting suspect in contempt of court for showing up to a pretrial hearing with a beard he had been told to shave.

Maj. Nidal Hasan was fined another $1,000 Friday. The judge, Col. Gregory Gross, said Hasan would watch the rest of the hearing on a closed-circuit television in a nearby trailer.

The Army doesn't allow beards. Hasan's attorneys say his is an expression of his Muslim faith.

Last week, the judge held Hasan in contempt and fined him $1,000. He said Hasan would be forcibly shaved before his Aug. 20 trial if he didn't shave.

Hasan is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the attack on the Texas Army post.

these muslims really know how to use our justice system,where did he go to college,harvard or nyu?

[nonpolitico]

Totally agree,but the one thing which got me away from religion in my teens was HISTORY!!
1000 years before the Roman Empire, the Greeks were teaching science/mathematics/biology/the movement of the planets etc.
THAT is worth knowing, whilst religion believes in myth/faith/hearsay!Read Thomas Paine`s "Common Sense" to get everything you need to know about religion!
The science from the Greeks was suppressed by religion (Christianity) for 1000 years.
Just think how advanced the world would have been but for religion!
Don`t believe "hearsay" just read his opinion on religion!
Thie muslim Faker could be charged for breach of his military Oath.
As military all swear an oath to the USA, breach of that oath by replacing with a commitment to his Allah, becomes a military offense, Surely??

" The Holy Quran" thinks it's sinful for a guy to not have a beard...but killing 13 people is just fine! Like the Muslim couple in England who were found guilty today for murdering their daughter for "becoming Westernized". Let's not "ground" her or send her to religious school to guide her-KILL HER!!

Dry shave him with a straight razor, and get on with the trial.

The quickest way to get that hair away from his body is to cut off his head.

[HuhSayWhat]

This may me laugh, but I was thinking of kinder method. Laser hair removal permanently will remove his beard.

Beards are not an expression of religious faith in Islam. The media is using this craziness to sell advertising.

[hypnotoad72]

Any reasoning behind that claim?

Or, better yet, some proof you could provide since you made the claim would be nice. Granted, I post links to proof all the time and some choose not to read and make snide remarks instead. But I, amongst others, WILL read, but it might do you some credit to back up some concepts with links to proof.

Shave him, if only to demonstrate that he's no longer in control of his wretched existence, for whatever time he has left. He gave up the right to live in a free society when he decided his twisted ideology overrode his victim's right to live. Period. Make no mistake - Radical Islam is NOT going to take prisoners. When it comes to dealing with these mindless animals, we shouldn't either.

[sentry88]

I believe he needs to be shaved by someone with advanced parkinsons

[siradjicat]

It's a MaJ. and it's been in the army a long time it knows beards are NOT alowed but it has one now. this thang's playing you

[hemusbull]

Annihilate this underanimal! This individual doesn't deserve even one tax penny!

[hypnotoad72]

Who said he's getting welfare?

How about corporate welfare, or are you okay with that being indiscriminately handed out?

[technocoffee]

Israel deserves EVERY dime, they just try to survive amongst all the murderous Muslim nations who have tried to wipe them out since 1949.

[endpcnow]

Pull out the beard with a pair of pliers . . . .
