5. What's a "Muslim-style beard"?

I mean, it could well end up a Muslim was the perp once all the facts are in, but as a depressingly vanilla caucasian agnostic who's grown a beard in the past and might one day decide to do so again if I can bear seeing all the gray hairs in the mirror, if you've got any pics, I'd like to know what sort of facial hair I can safely wear without being thought a terrorist.

12. Nope...not Muslim....Trevor Brooks...

14. He changed his name to Abu Izzadeen.

15. its not him, that was debunked as that guy is sitting a jail cell serving time...

[Denzil_DC]

16. Nah, that was an early misidentification.

Trevor Brooks changed his name to Abu Izzadeen. But whatever his name, he's safely in prison at the moment.
