“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, […]
The Fort Hood jihadist: “While the media wonders…why he did it…the fact is his behavior comports well with certain Islamic doctrines”
One of the difficulties in discussing Islam’s more troubling doctrines is that they have an anachronistic, even otherworldly, feel to them; that is, unless actively and openly upheld by Muslims, non-Muslims, particularly of the Western variety, tend to see them as abstract theory, not standard practice for today. In fact, some Westerners have difficulties acknowledging […]
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. […]
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 […]
