Nidal Hasan says he's Amish in last ditch effort to save beard
FORT HOOD, TX - In a last minute effort to save the life of his beard, Fort Hood shooting suspect Major Nidal Hasan told a military panel that he cannot shave due to his Amish faith.
The Amish, or Pennsylvania Dutch, are known for simple living, plain dress, and their traditionalist Christian fellowship.
"As a proud Amishman, I must wear my beard in keeping with my religion," Hasan said today, to a courtroom of military members who were clearly shocked at the new revelation.
The Army psychologist is facing court martial on murder charges stemming from a November 2009 attack at the base. Witnesses reported Hasan shouting "Allah Akbar", or "God is Great" in Arabic, before allegedly opening fire on fellow soldiers.
