American soldier feared Muslim deaths

I wrote about Sgt. Hasan Akbar's attack on his fellow American troops in Onward Muslim Soldiers. Now comes confirmation of my contention there that he attacked them solely out of loyalty to Islam, not because of racism or anything else (contrary to widely published reports). From AP, with thanks to LGF:

FORT BRAGG, N.C. - A prosecution witness testified Monday that a soldier charged with killing two officers in a grenade attack during the Iraq war confessed to the crimes after his arrest, saying he feared the wartime deaths of Muslims.

So, he stated that he did it in the name of being Muslim. Isn't that sad? Is that religion means to him, to kill because he thinks that is people are going to be raped and murdered by ALL of the American troops. I guess he doesn't consider himself to be an American, how sad.

He has no business being part of the American army and fighting for his country, to protect and defend as clearly he would rather kill his own people in the name of religion.

Posted by: Annie at May 26, 2004 9:30 AM

Sadly, he should've been dispatched at the scene.

Posted by: DCWatson at May 26, 2004 9:34 AM

It just shows you where his true loyalties lie - with the muslims over the Americans, so how are we to trust ANY Muslim here in America claiming to be a "good" American?

BTW - how did he get in a uniform?

Posted by: O'Lundy at May 26, 2004 9:34 AM

No wonder his lawyers want his statements kept off the record. If he says that in court, they'll give him a firing squad for sure! Like all good brainwshed little Muslims, notice how he automatically assumed the big bad Americans were going to rape Muslim women? Ater all, only Muslim men should be allowed to rape Muslim (and non-Muslim) women, right? I say let his statemnets be read and let him testify.

Awww just look at his baby face..he will be the belle of the ball in prison...I doubt they will execute him (almost too kind for him) but of course the other inmates should be told that mr. akbar believes in killing Americans so that muslims may be spared...this should make him the most popular girl in school...oh yes and no special protection for the lovely mr. akbar...allah will look after him.

Posted by: USAgirl at May 26, 2004 9:55 AM

First of all send him to Levenworth. Second, anyone from anywhere can serve in the U.S. Military. They don't have to be a citizen. That should stop. Thirdly, kill the worthless son of a bi-ch!

Posted by: KAMA at May 26, 2004 10:31 AM

I think our armies must be more careful as to who they allow to join. We cannot sit back and just assume that if you want to join the army and fight, that you are a proud AMERICAN who wishes to defend his/her people, country, REGARDLESS OF RELIGION AND BELIEFS. You join the army you should join to help fight not kill in the name of your religion those who will not believe what you do. Anyone should just not be allowed to join the army, especially a non citizen. It just goes to show, you cannot trust anyone any longer. Americans need to arm themsevles with guns in their homes, every true AMERICAN home needs to bear arms.

Posted by: Annie at May 26, 2004 10:40 AM

Annie, apparently he does not consider Americans to be "his people." His allegiance is not to America, it is to Islam.

Posted by: lmc at May 26, 2004 11:17 AM

Imc,
VERY TRUE and therefore he does not deserve the same respect nor does he deserve to be protected from anyone that may want to defend OUR people. I have no sadness for this person who does not respect the fact that even though he maybe in an AMERICAN army that does not make him an AMERICAN. A TRUE AMERICAN protects his AMERICANS NOT KILLS THEM.

Posted by: Annie at May 26, 2004 11:28 AM

I agree withh Annie. In fact I am
saving up for a Glock and will be
getting a permit to carry.

Armed citizens are safe citizens.

God bless this United States and may He
bring her back to the foundation on
which she was assembled.
Lord, bring are troops swift and
certain victory in the war on terrorism.
In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen

This spineless disgrace rolls grenades into the tents of sleeping fellow American troops, killing and injuring them while they slept.

Where was all of the press coverage on this incident? They spent over a month reporting about prison abuse of terrorists, yet where was the press when this typical cowardly Muslim act was carried out?

American media is amazing.

Posted by: DCWatson at May 26, 2004 12:20 PM

Someone tell me where Sgt. Hasan Akbar was raised?
Was he some 'good ole boy' from Georgia or what?
I do agree that when you find someone with the 'smokin' gun' - justice should swift i.e. right then.
How is it that so many people, movie stars to religious fanatics, turn their back on a country that has made them rich?
Has anyone thought of a bumper sticker with the word 'Cancer' and using the Islam Cresent for the letter 'C' - with sub-titles of 'Stamp it out now!'

What a great idea ...you should try marketing it.

Posted by: CGW at May 26, 2004 12:37 PM

So if anyone from anywhere can get into a United States Military Uniform and get our training, then of course the Muslims must be sending people over to get our training, and access to our secrets, etc. Does this sound to anyone like we are training our enemy?
Why in this day and age are we not more careful with who we are letting into our country - let alone our military!

That old (Robert Frost?) poem about good fences making good neighbors should start making the rounds again.

Posted by: Bob Owens at May 26, 2004 2:34 PM

Aliyah,
For sometime now I've been reading posts and different threads on here and have kept quiet but after what I just went through, I cannot any longer. First, let me start by saying I watched the news broadcast of newest threats to attack the US this summer and fall and I literally ran into the other room to grab my sleeping infant and hold her the entire time. These people are intent on killing every single person on this earth whether they are Muslim or not. If they were truly Muslims, they would not wish to kill their own AND they would not wish to kill innocent people whether it's women and children or not, INNOCENT MEANS INNOCENT! Now after watching that wonderul news I'm just supposed to go back to my life and not think about burying my child, my husband because of some bastard that claims to be an American or an attack that happens while we're at a mall or some other place or home for that? I fully intend to call the police any anyone or anything I think is odd, I will keep the police on my speed dial and will surely now look to getting a gun. I've never wanted to own one before but since these bastards are running lose in the United States I won't stop to shoot. You want people to see peace in Islam? How can we? We are under attack for being a free country, we are not without mistakes and wrong doings whether they be public or private but now we deserve to die in the name of Allah? Who made them God? Now, onto my second problem:
For years I've been going to this one gas station that is owned by a Muslim. He is always very nice, polite, well groomed. Prior to Sept 11 many of us have always known he was a Muslim, on Sept 11 I was at his gas station when the radio announced the second tower being hit. He turned me, muttered something that sounded like a prayer in Arabic, and told me he was truly sorry if I had anyone killed. At first I was taken aback and wondered why the hell he would be saying this to me? A few days after 9/11 I went back and had my child with me and he looked at me with the most threatening look I've ever seen telling me that I need to make my child Muslim before she and I die. This same person who was always so nice and made extra effort to do some nice and kind things began changing right in front of me starting on 9/11. At first I thought maybe he was being nice and felt badly that he was associated with a religion that had just attacked us but when I saw him after 9/11, he was pure evil. He was still well groomed and kept but was saying all kinds of nasty, evil things. Well he was jumped by several men and beaten pretty badly. You can't expect us to just sit back and continue on our way when he is sitting there saying these hurtful, disgusting things. At this point, I'm even wondering if he is someone the FBI is looking for and believe me, I contacted the police ASAP and they took what I told them seriously as cops were down there quickly and his gas station as since then closed down. He had told me that every Muslim that is here believes that unless you convert you must die. There is no such thing as being here and not wanting to take over the entire world with Islam. He kept stating that Muslims will kill if you do not listen to what they are saying and that no matter what lies a Muslim might say, it is their duty to openly lie in order to get you to come to our side, that there is no such thing as peace, Islam will dominate all and women will lose all that they have ever known, our husbands must rule us so that we behave ourselves. And then I read all the posts here and I'm supposed to forget what this man said to me, the way he looked at me telling me there are many here than just him and that I should never let my guard down! I wish I had a gun that day so I could have shot him dead. Go ahead, tell me that I am wrong for saying that or thinking that but what would you do if someone came to attack your family, Muslim or not, you wouldn't fight for them, what about if you see someone in the street attacking an innocent, a woman or child, would you not step in to save them? If you can tell me no than you do not deserve to have the same liberty that we share as Americans and yet you say we are so hostile and against Islam, why can't you and everyone else understand that we are being attacked and we are just going to sit back and be quiet and nice? How can we? Why can't you understand what America is facing and rather than try so earnestly to educate us on Islam, stand up and tell us that you pray none of us or our family gets hurt or killed regardless of what is being said on these posts? You pray for protection against those who wish to do us nothing but harm and that you pray an angel will be with us, surrounding us to keep us safe whether we are Muslim or not. You keep wanting to educate us but can't you see why we don't want to be told any of this? We are war with an enemy that doesn't listen to reason, that uses something that is supposed to be considered holy as his religion or faith to back up as to why he is doing this, someone who is intent on killing everyone in the name of his religion. The Middle East is so violent and full of hate, how abot Iran/Iraq the years they were figthing one another. You say how we went into Iraq, would you rather we allow Saddam to continue his reign with his sons and those who did not deserve punishment or death, continue dying and bleeding? We took him out of power, yes we have our wrongs but what would you rather have, Saddam in power or out? Without us Saddam would still be in power and god only knows what would've happened to more people. Why can't you, all of you try for at least one minute to understand why we are so in your face about our views on Islam, that is all we see and hear and now with this latest news of more attacks that will be more severe and you expect the American people to just what, relax and learn about Islam? Why so that we may die while we understand this? NO! I for one do not want to learn about Islam, not until all Al-queda, Bin Laden are dead. Once the threat is gone and these people are all dead, I will then sit and learn about Islam. You cannot tell me ever that these people will give up or see the peace that is Islam, what peace? I don't think they know what the word means. My child will never grow up and live her life as she will die this summer along with millions of other innocent people and there's nothing the government or law officials can or will do. If they did, they would've taken the threats prior to Sept 11 more seriously, they laughed it off saying we get millions of threats every day how could they possibly know that those threats were going happen. For all those government/FBI officials: Well, assholes they did and now you're going to take the newest threats seriously becasue why, I'll tell you why, because you are assholes who stood by and allowed millions to die on 9/11 when you already had the information and could've tried to stop it or at least minimize the number of deaths. But no, you couldn't waste your damn time, who the hell cares how many threats we get each day, you should follow each one, you do not know which one is serious or not and if you really were/are concerned with Americans lives, you need to act more like it. No instead you allow foreigners in our world so they can learn about us and take that info back to Bin Laden in order to kill us, you son of a bitches, you should not be allowed to live, how about you and your family being blown to bits that's what you deserve you do our country no good ever. Now you want the American people to help you by notifing authorities and what do you plan on doing with that information? SIT ON IT AS USUAL? You won't do a damn thing because you have no clue!
Well, I will take the law into my own hands now since the law doesn't seem to do anything to help protect it's people. I will not be a victim but I will be the one jail right and those terrorists will be free?
As far any Muslim on this site that truly, TRULY wants to educate us and not kill us, stop telling us that our grandchildren will be Muslim, for once stop and understand what threat we are facing and help us to find a way to bring those down who want to kill us. I implore every REAL AMERICAN on this site to bring those down in anyway in order to safeguard our security and well being. Being an AMERICAN should mean more to those who left their own countries in search of a better life and they should be the first on line to proclaim AMERICA free from terrorism and all it stands for.

Jihadist......Allah won't be able to release him from justice.....dream all you want. He, like the other Muslim fanatic jokes has commited a crime, and shall be punished for it.

Even if he were to somehow get out of his legal trouble, someone will pick him off, as he has been a cowardly, backstabbing, murderous loser, but with Islamic jihadists, what else is new?

No muslim should be allowed in the arm forces and law enforcement.In the AQ manual it instruct for muslims to join western arm forces and law enforcement for training so that they become better fighters. To know how we operate and to get inside info. NATIONAL GUARD SPC RYAN ANDERSON[convert to islam]plan to give AQ info on how to defeat U.S. tanks. SENIOR AIRMAN AHMAD AL-HALABI[gitmo spy]passing info on gitmo to the syrians. FBI ANGENT GAMAL ABDEL-HAFIZ who refuse to wear a wire tape fellow muslim. U.S. ARMY SERGENT ALI A MOHAMED[close adviser to osama bin laden,the east africa bombings}passing of top secret documents to AQ and train AQ in u.s. millitary tactics. ALL OF THEM ARE TORJAN HORSES.ALL MUSLIMS ARE TORJAN HORESE LET IN THE GATES OF FORTRESS AMERICA.

Posted by: RED at May 26, 2004 5:24 PM

Jihadist-

Why dont you take a hike. Brother Akbar is a spineless worm and he WILL be someone's girlfriend in prison. America doesn't need Islamic people like you in it, so if you are here, do us all a favor and go back to your homeland. We don't need more muslims sewing seeds of evil in our country. Your religion and country have never helped us anyways.

Posted by: Brandon at May 26, 2004 6:58 PM

Just a quick note on my way to a staff meeting: Akbar is a US-born convert to Islam, not an immigrant.

Posted by: lobo91 at May 26, 2004 7:52 PM

HE SHOULD FACE THE FIRING SQUAD, REGARDLESS HIS PERSONAL FAITH.

Posted by: YCWBC at May 26, 2004 10:47 PM

AKBAR has been taken into custody and essentially is out of the jihad. For all intensive purposes, he would have done more damage to the US if he had gotten out of the US Army and joined AL-Q. If in fact those statements are true, "`I did it because I'm Muslim. They were going to kill Muslims and rape Muslim women," AKBAR would have gone on to murder a lot more people........

Posted by: Anonymous at May 26, 2004 11:21 PM

Be aware that non US Citizens join our military to acquire citizenship as has been reported in the mainstream media this year. To me that is wrong. Mostly because of this senario. All Muslim people should be barred from our military due to their koranic beliefs. The most successful attacks on this country and our military will come from within if this is allowed to continue. As a USMC vet I'm appalled that our military would be so desperate for recruits as to allow this person and others like him to serve.

BTW - I recieved this email today - More deception? You decide?

Subject: URGENT ATTENTION


GOOD DAY............Greetings in the name of Allah, the most beneficent,the most merciful.My name is Mrs Abida Fudail, a widow to Late Mr M, Fudail. I am 58years old, Presently I am suffering from long time cancer of the breast, from all indications, my condition is really deteriorating and i am very much afraid of my doctor's report, infact my conditon is very bad now.My late husband was killed during the Gulf war, and during the period of our marriage we couldn't produce any child.My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his business and wealth, The doctor has told me that I may not live beyond this year; every new day is like a bonus to me.So now i have decided to divide part of this wealth,to contribute to the propagation of Islam and in assisting the less-privileged Muslim faithful and all humanity in Africa and thruoghout the Muslim world, I chossed you after visiting the website and I prayed over it, I discussed this with my Attorney,Barrister Abdul Lateef .I am willing to donate part of the sum of US$18,000,000.00(Eighteen Million US Dollars) for the development of the holywork as well as a distribution to aid muslim faithfuls and also for the less privileged, including orhpans who lost their mothers through this deadly illness(cancer) no matter their faith.Please I want you to note that, this fund is deposited in a Security Company in Dubai,United Arab Emirate (UAE). For that, my lawyer Barrister Abdul Lateef will file in application for the transfer of the money in your name as you wish provided you are ready to use part of this money for this purpose.You will therefore have to travel to Dubai, to sign for the official release of this money as well as advice on how you want the money remitted to you own account. my Attorney will accompany you on this trip.I want you to immediately contact my barrister through this email:barry_abdulla@yahoo.com for assistance.Lastly I honestly pray that this money when transferred will be used for the said purpose because I have come to find out that wealth acquisition without Allah is vanity upon vanity.for this reason I have decided to set-aside 40% of this money for the service of humanity and the work of Allah.May the Grace of Allah be our guide and be my refuge when i leave this world. Moreso,I decided to offer you 30% While 20% will be transfered to the account of my Lawyer, Barrister Syed Abdul as compensation after successful conclusion.The remaining 10% is to cover the expenses both from your side and the side of my Lawyer who will assist you until every thing is over.Yours in Islam,Mrs Abida Fudail.

I love My Life - I'm staying home! There is no money to be gotten and I would probably die in their custody.

Posted by: onesandzeroes at May 27, 2004 12:26 AM

Just look at him! I am a black-American and I will say this: ALL MUSLIMS MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO GO INTO THE MILITARY OR ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT! AND WHEN I MEAN ALL MUSLIMS, I INCLUDE THE BLACK MUSLIMS TOO!

The black Muslims will cry racism to use that as their defense. PHUCK THAT $H!T!!!! Only Muslims do this crap! Other soldiers are loyal to the country no matter what kind of leadership they have EXCEPT FOR MUSLIMS (OF ALL RACES!) This a$$hole is a disgrace......if he is found innocent, then I'm sure some good ole military boys would do stuff to him that would make the Abu Ghraib tortures (aka "humiliation)like light foreplay. Islam is such a sick a$$ ideology, probably sicker than Nazism!

Posted by: Alicia Keys at May 27, 2004 12:30 AM
