But remember, this has nothing — nothing — to do with Islam, if you believe Army brass and, of course, Obama himself. That willful blindness has shown itself to be the root of the failures in intelligence (in more than one sense of the word) that led to this attack. “Fort Hood: Hasan Asked Awlaki […]
After Fort Hood jihad massacre, U.S. Army having more trouble recruiting Muslim troops
Because, you see, the massacre made Muslims afraid — not of jihadist supremacism within their own ranks, but of discrimination in the military! But never fear, the Army is still doggedly trying to recruit them, and of course not dreaming of asking potential recruits a single question about what they think of jihad and Islamic […]
U.S. Muslim leader explains how Fort Hood jihadist misunderstands Islam
Here is that rare thing, an attempt to show with specific Qur’anic citations how an Islamic jihadist is misusing the Qur’an and misunderstanding the true, peaceful teachings of Islam. Usually those who assert such things are extremely vague about just how Islam and the Qur’an are being misused. Unfortunately, however, this is written by Salam […]
Andy McCarthy: Somebody at Fort Hood Should Be Walking the Plank
The always superb Andy McCarthy expands on the post here: Prepare to be infuriated. It’s been brought to my attention by several reliable sources that the Defense Department has brought Louay Safi to Fort Hood as an instructor, and that he has been lecturing on Islam to our troops in Fort Hood who are about […]
Feds dropped case against Hasan’s jihadist imam in 2002
“ABC reported that the decision to cancel al-Awlaki’s arrest warrant outraged members of a Joint Terrorism Task Force in San Diego who monitored the imam and wanted the opportunity to ‘look at him under a microscope.’” “U.S. attorney defends dropping radical cleric’s case in 2002,” by Felisa Cardona for The Denver Post, December 3 (thanks […]
Dhimmitude and stealth jihad at Fort Hood
I have word from an informed source that a top representative of the Muslim Brotherhood arm known as the Islamic Society of North America — Louay Safi — is at Fort Hood this week training the army brigade getting ready to deploy to Afghanistan. At about 1800 EST today, Safi gave a check to families […]
Spencer: Obama has the jihadis in stitches
An interview with Newsmax. “Expert: Obama’s Fort Hood Terrorism Denial Dangerous,” by John Rossomando in Read it all.
Former classmate of Fort Hood shooter: Nidal Hasan was “an outspoken jihadist”
At this point these facts are well known, but here is more confirmation. I’ve received the message from a doctor and former classmate of Nidal Hasan: He was an outspoken jihadist. He stated publicly that Shariah Law came before the Constitution that he swore an oath to uphold. He did off topic presentations in public […]
U.S. Army never considered the possibility that jihadis might infiltrate it
And it did not do so out of fear of being accused of “Islamophobia.” More bitter fruit of political correctness: “Threat of jihad infiltration did not factor into U.S. Army’s screening process,” from the World Tribune, November 23 (thanks to Mackie): WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army, fearing political repercussions, refused to consider the prospect of […]
Fitzgerald: John Esposito, Colin Powell, and the Muslim Soldier Who Was Among the Few Exceptions that Prove the Rule
“What about the many Muslims who have served and now the 20,000 who currently serve in the armed forces, those that fought and died in Afghanistan and Iraq? Are they influenced by their religion in their willingness to serve, fight and die for their country? Courageous Muslims like Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan, praised by Colin […]
Fort Benning receives package containing shells and threat to reenact Fort Hood jihad
Jihad or copycat — in any case, an enemy of diversity. “Suspicious Note and Package at Fort Benning,” by Ashley Ball for WRBL.com, November 23 (thanks to Matt): Fort Benning investigators are launching an investigation into a suspicious note and package found last week on post. News 3 spoke to a post representative Sunday night, […]
Raymond Ibrahim on the Fort Hood jihadist: “While the media wonders…why he did it…the fact is his behavior comports well with certain Islamic doctrines”
Our old friend Raymond Ibrahim explains the Islamic doctrines in play in Nidal Hasan’s jihad at Fort Hood, and the cost of ignoring them. “Nidal Hasan and Fort Hood: A Study in Muslim Doctrine,” by Raymond Ibrahim for Pajamas Media via Middle East Forum, November 18: One of the difficulties in discussing Islam’s more troubling […]
Senators getting closer: Fort Hood massacre was terrorism
It’s not the whole truth. It’s not “Fort Hood massacre was jihad,” although even that word comes up. It’s not an acknowledgment that the attack was motivated by the same murderous ideology that took down the Twin Towers and that threatens Israel and other free nations around the world every day, but it’s a step. […]
SecDef orders Army inquiry into why nobody reported the Fort Hood jihadist
Secretary Gates, I can save you a lot of time and trouble: no one reported Nidal Hasan because they were afraid of the repercussions that would come to them in this politically correct age. They were afraid of being accused of being racists, bigots, hatemongers, etc. They were afraid of showing up in the next […]
American convert to Islam says it is not permissible for Muslims to join an Infidel army
Wait a minute. I thought only greasy Islamophobes believed that there was any problem with Muslims in the military. Will Honest Ibe Hooper of CAIR denounce Umar Lee as an “Islamophobe”? Glossary: Kaafir, kufr = Infidel. Deen = religion. Ummah = global Islamic community. Ulamaa = Islamic scholars. Al wala wal bara = “Love and […]
Spencer: Nidal Hasan’s Ominous Islam
In Human Events this morning I discuss a few things Nidal Hasan’s PowerPoint has in common with other presentations of Islam we’ve seen in the past: Before he killed or wounded 54 Americans at Fort Hood on November 5, army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan had raised eyebrows with his Islamic proselytizing, which he carried on even […]
Fort Hood jihadist tried to turn his patients in for “war crimes”
This story is distastefully wobbly about whether there were real “war crimes” and whether there was something substantive that could push Hasan over the edge, ignoring as always the obvious jihadist element to the massacre. At issue here is the fact that, under Islamic law, the life of a Muslim is worth more than a […]
Why I Murdered 13 American Soldiers at Fort Hood: Nidal Hassan Explains It All to You
Barry Rubin brilliantly explains how Nidal Hasan’s slide show explicates his motives in the Fort Hood jihad massacre: How do we know that the attack at Fort Hood was an act of Islamist terrorism? Simple, Major Nidal Hassan told us so. You’ve seen reports of a long list of things he did and said along […]
Detroit Muslim leaders: Fort Hood attack had nothing to do with Islam
“Islam opposes such actions as committed by Maj. (Nidal Malik) Hasan. The Qur’an considers human life sacred.” Well, evidently one man’s sacred is not another man’s sacred: “And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight […]
Texas congressman: Fort Hood jihadist wired money to Pakistan
Post-Traumatic Wire Transfer Disorder? Maybe that’s what made him “snap,” because, as you know, the mainstream media insists it can’t be Islam. “Fort Hood shooting suspect sent money to Pakistan, Texas congressman says,” by Dave Michaels and Lee Hancock for the Dallas Morning News, November 13: An Austin congressman said Thursday that he has confirmed […]
