Shaving Nidal Hasan's irreligious religious beard
I hope you’re having a day that enables some thoughtful reflection on this anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks against the United States.

The more I study it and read about it, the more I realize how little I know and how much I have left to learn. And the battle against Islamic terrorism continues, as this story about the trial of Fort Hood shooting suspect Nidal Hasan shows.
