GI Jihadi Muhammad Abdullah Hassan’s Facebook page has been taken down, but here are some of its overt jihadi elements. It seems fairly clear that Hassan was hoping to die in a jihad relatively soon. Now he is in a mental health facility, due to the U.S. government’s immovable unwillingness to face the fact that a perfectly sane Muslim might be moved to kill unbelievers by the texts and teachings of the Qur’an, as interpreted by mainstream Islamic authorities. Since they can’t face that possibility, they assume Hassan must be insane.
More on this story. “U.S. Army Recruit Accused of Plotting Jihad: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know,” by Paul Farrell at Heavy, April 1:
Muhammad Abdullah Hassan, or John Thomas Booker, 19, has been named by Fox News as a the U.S. Army recruit who is alleged to have been plotting to wage jihad against the U.S. military from within. Fox News later updated their story to indicate that Hassan is now in a private mental health facility.
Here’s what you need to know:

3. The Military Have Been on Alert Since Last Week
This photo was posted on Muhammad Abdullah Hassan’s Facebook on February 23. (Facebook)
An alert was circulated among military personnel on Friday March 28 warning of Hassan’s alleged plan of a “Fort Hood-inspired jihad against U.S. soldiers.” According to Fox, the warning was issued “to inform and protect officers who may encounter this individual or others exhibiting the same aspirations.” The warning came from an FBI agent. Later law enforcement officials stated that Hassan had been under the watch and there was never any man hunt for him.
4. Hassan’s Facebook is Full of Jihad Postings
Through postings on Hassan’s Facebook page, beginning on February 23, he posted al-Qaida propaganda materials. There are also photos of Osama bin Laden and a video of the 9/11 mastermind reciting the Quran. On March 15, Hassan posted:
Oh those of the ummah of the Prophet Muhammad(S). I will soon be leaving you forever so goodbye! I am going to wage jihad and hopes that i die. I want to be with my lord so bad that I cry but I will miss you guys I am not going to lie. I wish I could give you guys more but I am just a guy who is so very poor.
I am telling you I am so broke that my pockets are sore:) I cannot wait to go the Prophet Muhammad’s(S) door and prank Isa bin Maryam and party so hard that it will rock Jannah to its core. Only Allah knows what the future has in store so that should make you fear Allah much much more.[…]

He’s in a gov mental health facility? Is that a back door admission that the gov considers Islamic beliefs a mental illness? Don’t worry, if you think this facility is like some kind of country club, you would be wrong. They are a lot like, ‘One flew over the cuckoo nest’…The Movie. Nurse Ratchet works there to this day.
Muhammad will be taking orders and medications from a tough, unsympathetic, grizzled up old woman, named Ratchet. Poetic justice, and proof Allah does have a sense of humor after all…
Reality Check says
Ha-Ha! Well said!

Normative Islamic belief is a mental illness, rather than an aberration.
Normative Islamic jihad is a form of toxic narcissism combined with self-hypnosis.

“I cannot wait to go to the prophet Muhammad.”
Honestly, for once a Muslim and I want almost the same thing – I cannot wait to see HIM go to the prophet Muhammad and the sooner he goes, the better. I also hope he takes some more Muslims with him in the process, with no people of other religions to pay the price.
Softly Bob says
I sometimes think that I’d like to pay the Prophet Mohammed a quick visit too, but the problem is I don’t like really hot places and I mean really, really, agonizingly hot!!
KomicKaffir says
I can just picture him groovin at the party (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFvZBiTdXFU) with a live performance by Abdul and the Goat Bangers playing all their greatest hits.
umbra says
In the past, terrorists lived in the shadow and hid in the shadow. Now, in the US, they live in plain sight, but government/authority has kept them hidden in plain sight.
Charli Main says
If that insane psychopath Muhammed of Islam was alive today, he would be committed indefinitely to a mental asylum for the criminally insane.
mortimer says
Mohammed today would be a war criminal wanted by the World Court and banned from entering most Western countries. Muslims know this.
Softly Bob says
Not today, but thirty, forty or maybe fifty years ago.
Today he would be seen as a hero, given his own little spot on Ellen, featured on the front cover of Rolling Stone, and be used as a poster-boy victim of racial discrimination by all the students at Harvard.
Jerry says
More likely, Mohammed, if he lived today, would have been captured by the Israelis and held in Israeli Jail until forced to release him under pressure from the First Islamic US President and his messanger Kerry,
unless, of course the Israelis manged to send a drone to facilitate his travell arrangements into the Paedophile Paradise, for a meeting with his 72 dark eyed six year old virgins.
Jerry says
Or he would possibly be living in luxury in a protected compound provided by ISI and financed by USA military assistance funding, in some remote part of Phakistan, surrounded by 72 dark eyed nine year old former virgins.
Angemon says
“prank Isa bin Maryam and party so hard that it will rock Jannah to its core.”
Did he not get the memo? There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.
mortimer says
Everything denied to naïve, young pawns of jihad on earth is permitted to them as their reward…rivers of wine, and an unending supply of compliant, submissive, beautiful women who never say no and never talk back. He will mock Jesus in person as the cherry on top of his delusion.
Reality Check says
Angemon,
You are so right – there is no fun whatsoever in Islam and I’m talking about life in the Land of Islam. I lived in a super-rich Islamic country more than a decade ago and these people have no entertainment to offer – no theatre, no concerts, nothing. Guess what the main form of entertainment was – eating out! They don’t think about anything but eating, eating and eating again. They have more restaurants per square metre than any other country in the world and more malls than you’ll find anywhere, so all you can do is eating and shopping – nothing else. There is nothing to appeal to the spirit there – that is why you will find that the people who spend more than 20 years in the Gulf without thinking about resignation are normally the shallowest type of Westerners.
Oh, and I forgot the never-ending whoring – this is the third thing to do. So, the holy trinity in the Gulf goes like this – eating, shopping and whoring. The whoring’s truly epidemic – you will never have seen something like that, before or after, and guess who engages in whoring anywhere, all the time. Not the liberated Westerners. Not the exploited third-world nationals. The pious, highly moral Muslims! They are such hypocrites, it has to be seen to be believed.
Jay Boo says
Islam begins with the letter “I”
and ends with Murder.
HE used “I” a total of thirteen times in that last 8 line Facebook posting.

If he believes in Jannah he also believes in jinn. He will meet plenty of jinn in the mental institution. They appear to live on the ceiling. I have seen myself, serious mental patients look at the same place on the ceiling and laugh.
If only one did that, no problem, but when many do it, there is something going on that I can’t see. It must be jinn, no self respecting demon hangs around institutions any more., especially not from ceilings.
citycat says
They are connected to the person, not the ceiling, real or imaginary.

“I cannot wait to go the Prophet Muhammad’s(S) door and prank Isa bin Maryam and party so hard that it will rock Jannah to its core
The slang word “prank” must have another meaning, because the only standard slang meaning I know would imply an un-Islamic disrespect (if not blasphemy) against what Hassan would logically perceive to be one of the greatest of Islamic prophets (Isa). It could well be that young black hip hoppers by now have developed a markedly different definition of “prank”.

hope FBI puts that animal down before he acts
