Jan. 2, 2008: A Fatah activist has his mustache shaved in solidarity with a fellow member, whom Fatah says Hamas shaved as a humiliating punishment.
Hamas, Fatah Feud Over Attacks on Facial Hair
Fox News
The internecine fight between Hamas and Fatah has gotten ugly — at least for Palestinians who favor men with mustaches.
Hamas has resumed its policy of shaving the mustaches of rival Fatah members to humiliate them as a form of punishment, The Jerusalem Post reported.
Reports of such punishments surfaced in January, though Hamas denied it had resorted to close shaves in its struggle to assert dominance over Palestinian politics.
Fatah officials renewed their allegations Wednesday, according to the Jerusalem Post, which said Hamas, in turn, claimed followers’ beards had been sabotaged by Fatah officials.
Nafez al-Namnam, a top Fatah operative in the Gaza Strip, appears to be the latest target of Hamas clippers. Namnam, 51, had sported a rather large mustache for more than three decades, but after being rounded up by Hamas in the aftermath of a bombing, he emerged from prison with a clean-shaven face, The Jerusalem Post reported.
In response, the Aksa Martyrs Brigades issued a statement strongly condemning the use of shaving as punishment.
Wild Thing’s comment…….
LOL This is funny how they make such a big deal about fascial har. Hey wait, now we have a new form of torture…… but probably Pelosi will ban it like they all banned water boarding a particular favorite of mine. heh heh
….Thank you Darth for sending this to me.
Exactly! Facial hair–big whoopie doo. I’ve only seen my husband once without his mustache and that’s when we were still dating 21 years ago. And every winter, he grows a beard, too. I like the big burly look.
It’s ridiculous to think every person should be the exact same. I am not the Borg and I will not be assimilated.
The religion of silliness.
I encountered the same BS with the ragheads at work, they wouldn’t listen to anyone with youth and only took advice from someone who appeared older with grey hair and/or full facial hair. What can we expect from a cross between Satan and a Camel, certainly not a mule.
“Facial Hair…” HA!
My ex-wife can grow a mustache to beat them all.
As far as Peolosi goes, she should have had waterboading instead of being beat with an ugly stick.
Lynn, I agree, people should be able to do what they want like you said.
Tom, yes it sure is silly. They have so many stupid silly laws and rules.
Jack, ROTFL…
“What can we expect from a cross between Satan and a Camel, certainly not a mule.”

That sounds scary as hell.
ROTFLMAO
I sure and glad the title is EX.
hahaha
Maybe Obama could show his solidarity with Hamas.

Hamas and Fatah aren’t the only ones using facial hair for political purposes. Here is another potential world leader preparing to meet with Hamas, Fatah, Iran, Osama bin Laden, and the Chinese.

This is WHY the bearded ladies wear burkas?
