A judge has the right to order an Army psychiatrist charged in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage to be forcibly shaved of his beard before his murder trial, military attorneys told an appeals court Wednesday.
The attorneys, in a document filed on behalf of Col. Gregory Gross, contend that forcibly shaving Maj. Nidal Hasan would not violate the American-born Muslim's religious freedoms and said it is similar to "and no more invasive than" a judge's right to restrain a defendant who is disruptive during a court-martial.
"Forced shaving is not a novel concept in the military,"

I don’t think this lowlife was drafted into the ALL VOLUNTEER Army. And I think the reg was in place before his sorry self signed on, so shave away

Who cares if he’s shaved? I just want him tried, convicted and executed....beard and all.
To: george76
Pay per view it to reduce our national debt... same with his execution.

This is ridiculous. Shave him, or don’t ... but get him convicted and sentenced.
Allowing a terrorist to delay trial like this, and giving him further platform to speak, is an altogether lousy idea. I don’t care about his beard. Try, convict, execute. The sooner the better.

Muslims think they are special. I don’t think anyone that follows the words of a child-molesting, women beating, murdering pedophile named Mad Mo is anything special.

Is there anyone who really cares if he has a beard? Get the circus going. Time to bring him to trial, hear the evidence, find him guilty, and then.......feed him to the hogs.

Speaking of delays, it’s taken almost three years to get to this point in his case.
I wonder why it takes so long to get a trial.
To: Dilbert San Diego
Maybe the Social Security Administration is doing the execution. Their bullets haven’t come in yet.

There are many Special Forces guys who would willingly shave him for free.

While we’re at it let us run them out of the country on a rail all tarred and feathered.
