Better than throwing them off the roof of a 20 story building......
Hamas has resumed its policy of shaving mustaches of political opponents to humiliate them, Fatah officials said Wednesday.
Hamas resorted to this form of punishment in the past after arresting senior Fatah
Hamas, for its part, accused the Palestinian Authority security forces of shaving the beards of detained Hamas officials in the West Bank.
The latest victim of the mustache-shaving policy is Nafez al-Namnam, a top Fatah operative in the Strip.
Namnam, 51, is one of the commanders of Fatah's armed wing, the Aksa Martyrs Brigades, in Gaza City.
He and his son Rami were arrested by Hamas policemen shortly after the mysterious explosion that killed five Hamas men on the beach in Gaza City last Friday.
Namnam wore an unusually large mustache for more than 30 years. But while in prison, his Hamas interrogators shaved it off before finally releasing him.
The Aksa Brigades issued a statement strongly condemning the shaving of Namnam's mustache and threatening retaliation.It said that Namnam and his son were also tortured while in detention.
Earlier this year, another senior Fatah official, Ibrahim Abu al-Naja, also lost his mustache in the power struggle with Hamas.

Is HRW on this? If putting panties on the heads of terrorists, this must be concidered torture as well.

I thought savages only used sharpened rocks.

Ooooohhhhhh! Such humilation! Oooohhhhhhh!
I guess maybe they ARE progressing (not!) as a society, religion and culture. Usually they chop a body part off.

Behold the Koranic paradise they think they will have when they capture the world. Once there are no more infidels to torment they will obviously torment one another. I wonder who they'll blame then?
