<\/a>James Holmes, the gunman behind the Dark Knight massacre in Colorado last July, has reportedly turned Muslim and prays five times a day.<\/span><\/p>\nThe killer showed off a lengthy, thick beard during a court appearance earlier this month, and a prison source has claimed it is a symbol of his new-found faith.<\/span><\/p>\n The source said Holmes has turned to Islam as a way of justifying his horrific murder spree in an Aurora, Colorado cinema on July 20 which left 12 people dead and 58 people wounded.<\/span><\/p>\n ‘He has brainwashed himself into believing he was on his own personal jihad and that his victims were infidels,’ a prison source told the<\/span> National Enquirer<\/span>.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n He now prays five times a day, sticks to a strict Muslim diet and spends hours each day studying the Qur’an, the source said. But his new routine has upset Muslim inmates.<\/span><\/p>\n ‘None of them condone forms of terrorism or extremism,’ the source added. ‘And they don’t want their religion to be connected to that awful shooting.’<\/span><\/p>\n Holmes sported a thick, bushy beard and unkempt dark brown hair during his appearance earlier this month – a stark difference to his bright orange hair at the time of the massacre<\/span><\/p>\n
