If you issue fatwahs, you can get the press to parrot your lines.

This article on Major Nidal Hasan, the "Fort Hood Shooter" being ordered by the military court to shave contains an odd editorial comment. See if you can spot it:

The prosecution is also saying that Hasan is using his beard in an attempt to affiliate himself with the Mujahideen, a group of Muslims who struggle in the path of God.

Judge Gross has also denied a former motion to have a prosecutor and a paralegal disqualified based on their use of restricted material to be used in the panel selection process.
