FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda US Supreme Court justices have voiced doubts over whether a Muslim prisoner’s beard can threaten the security of a prison in Arkansas.
In a court hearing held on Tuesday, arguments started over whether Muslim inmate Gregory Holt could wear a half-inch (1.3 cm) beard due to religious reasons.
The inmate said the Varner Supermax prison’s policies ban any sort of facial hair apart from a “neatly trimmed mustache.”
The prison demands the prisoners be clean-shaven unless a medical condition requires them to do otherwise.
Arkansas Deputy Attorney General David Curran said the inmates could use the beard to hide something in there or change their appearance later by shaving the beard.
“You have no comparable rule about hair on one’s head, where it seems more could be hidden than in the beard,” said Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
The Muslim inmate, known as Abdul Maalik Muhammad, handwrote a petition to convince the court to hear his case regarding his interest in keeping a beard.
“This is a matter of grave importance, pitting the rights of Muslim inmates against a system that is hostile to these views,” he wrote in the petition.
According to US media, the inmate had threatened to abduct former US President George W. Bush’s daughters.
Both the federal district and appeals courts ruled against the case and Holt, who is serving a life sentence, has to wait for a Supreme Court ruling, due by the end of June.
