My latest in PJ Media:
Nidal Malik Hasan, who was at the time a major in the U.S. Army, in November 2009 opened fire at Fort Hood while screaming “Allahu akbar,” murdering 14 people and injuring 43. Now he is now on death row at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas, and he is having a good month: Hasan is thrilled that the Taliban have taken over Afghanistan.
It was revealed Wednesday that on August 18, Hasan wrote a letter addressing the Taliban, crowing “WE HAVE WON” and adding: “Congratulations on your victory over those who hate for the Laws of All-Mighty God to be supreme on the land. I pray to Allah that He helps you implement Shariah Law full, correctly and fairly.”
Hasan asked his attorney, retired Army Col. John Galligan, to get his letter to the Taliban. Galligan, who has dealt with this monster for a long time, said: “I’m not at all surprised by Maj. Nidal Hasan’s recent statement — he’s always been consistent in the terms of his support for the governments to be rooted upon Sharia law. Given the Taliban victory in Afghanistan and President Biden’s apparent capitulation on many fronts, Nidal Hasan and I are anxious to see what, if any, action will be taken with respect to the individuals still incarcerated at Guantanamo.”
Indeed. But the strange case of Nidal Malik Hasan shows that Biden isn’t the first to have capitulated. In fact, Hasan’s career trajectory neatly encapsulates much of the failure and wishful thinking that has characterized our response to the 9/11 attacks. As is detailed in Arab Winter Comes to America, Hasan rose through Army ranks even as he justified jihad suicide bombing and spouted hatred for America, and he did so with extraordinarily positive recommendations. In an evaluation dated March 13, 2009, just short of eight months before his jihad attack, Hasan’s superiors said that he should be put into a position “that allows others to learn from his perspectives” and declared that his “unique insights into the dimensions of Islam” and his “moral reasoning” could be of “great potential interest and strategic importance to the U.S. Army.”
A July 1, 2009, report went even farther, saying that Hasan had “a keen interest in Islamic culture and faith and has shown capacity to contribute to our psychological understanding of Islamic nationalism and how it may relate to events of national security and Army interest in the Middle East and Asia.”
It is likely, given the fact that Hasan had aroused the alarm of his colleagues with his talk of jihad, that these glowing recommendations stemmed more from the fear of those who wrote them that they would be accused of “Islamophobia” than from a genuine and honest assessment of Hasan’s capabilities. Even in 2009, Army officials knew that to register suspicion that a Muslim military officer was a jihadi was to commit career suicide and risk being plastered all over CNN and the New York Times as an example of the “Islamophobia” that had to be rooted out of the military.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Why is this guy still alive? When do we flush this turd ?
Bob C says
that’s really a good question.
perhaps if the soldiers on the base had weapons or bullets in those weapons, he would not be.
but can’t be safe and woke at the same time!
wpm says
True to be woke is putting yourself , your country, your love ones in danger ,wokeness is truly a mental illness .
bill says
That Nidal is still alive getting three meals a day at tax payer expense show how flawed the justice system is. Convicted criminals should be allowed one appeal, when that fails, sentence should be carried out. That highly paid lawyers can keep deferring execution is totally unacceptable.
mortimer says
Response to bill: No one wants Nidal Hasan to become an Islamic martyr. Keeping him incarcerated for life prevents that from happening. Islam has a teaching of compulsory retribution and some jihadist could visit this monstrous teaching upon any US military member at any time and any place without warning. It is prudent not to execute him.
Nevertheless, it is unacceptable that there is no program to introduce incarcerated Muslim criminals to textual criticism of the Koran, so that they may learn that the Koran is of human origin. When Muslims are convinced that the Koran isn’t perfect, they are 90% out of Islam at that stage.
Islam is a man-made religious ideology fabricated by the early caliphs starting with Abd al Malik who began the Mohammed cult which was unknown before the year 691 AD.
Muslims will leave Islam if we show them the evidence. That will defeat Islamism.
Kepha says
I don’t want to pay for the schmuck’s incarceration, medical care, etc. The guy who killed Mayor Cermak of Chicago when trying to kill FDR went to Old Sparky after two weeks.
As for Nidal becoming an Islamic “martyr”, I think he’d like it, and I’m all for humoring him–even if I believe that barring last minute repentance, he collects neither virgins not raisins, but Hellfire.

Fly him to Afghanistan and deliver him to the Taliban from 13,000′, no parachute.

‘We Have Won’: Fort Hood Jihad Murderer Congratulates Taliban
…………….
Nidal Hasan claimed that he massacred his fellow soldiers at Ft. Hood in 2009 on behalf of the Taliban.
This murderous thug has lived off the American taxpayer for twelve years now–and no end in sight.
An it is unlikely he will be executed any time soon:
https://stories.usatodaynetwork.com/the-fort-hood-shooting-10-years-later/sentenced-to-death-fort-hood-shooter-has-years-of-appeals-to-come/
And if his execution date comes up when someone like Biden is in the White House, he will probably pardon him. Note that Obama refused a request from suriving victims to meet with him when he was president.
mortimer says
Mass killer Hasan certainly got more respect from Obama than Hasan’s victims did. One could say that Obama was more concerned with pleasing the Muslim Brotherhood and pleasing Muslim voters than protecting Americans and their allies. Jihadist activities increased under Obama’s watch, because he was blind to political Islam.
Because Obama was blind to Islamic supremacism, he foolishly maintained all along that Islam is benign. Obama made his mark solely due to his skin color, rather than any particular insight or policy. He was given a Nobel Prize for being elected without any other achievement. Obama was so clueless, he allowed the even more clueless trainwreck of Hillary Clinton to manage dealing with jihadists. Her method was to finance and create jihadist armies which Americans then had to fight and sacrifice their lives … all due to their ineptitude and naivety about political Islam.
Sleepy Joe continues the ineptitude of Obama in military affairs, but on steroids. He is the greatest bumbler of all presidents.
wpm says
Biden might trade him for some Americans he left on the runway in Afghanistan after our quick exit from there. Biden,s real boss Obama traded a number of Jihadist to get that American traitor solder back in the day about a decade ago ,4 of them are big muck and mucks running the Talban now showing off the American weapons we left for them bragging on tweeter they are in charge now .From what I see they have been handed all this when we had democratic presidents running the country.
mortimer says
Obama and Biden have created immense misery for the people of Afghanistan who will now see the collapse of their national economy and a return to arbitrary Sharia tortures.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Why is the Gitmo Hotel allowed to stay open? Shouldn’t these war criminals be
set free on a Texas hunting ranch to be used as target practice for some wealthy weekend warriors? They could pay the rancher $5000 a head for each bagged terrorist. They would thus kill two jihadi birds with one stone. Eliminate the threat and enrich the rancher. I believe they already a similar setup for hunting wild pigs, except these would be human pigs.
Giacomo Latta says
‘Hasan’s superiors said that he should be put into a position “that allows others to learn from his perspectives”’
A success story, at least for the 14 murdered and the 43 injured.
