“Taliban” means, of course, “students.” I.e., students of Islam. But somehow they have missed the peaceful teachings of Islam that are so plain and patent to everyone else that only “Islamophobes” have trouble seeing them. How is it that these students of Islam don’t know, as Obama put it yesterday, that “no faith justifies these […]
Spencer at NRO: “‘Islamophobia’ was duly avoided at Fort Hood. All it cost was 13 dead and 38 wounded.”
Yesterday I was asked to participate in a Symposium at National Review about the Fort Hood massacre and the role political correctness played in it. Here is my entry: The Fort Hood massacre wouldn’t have happened were it not for political correctness. Nidal Hasan lectured on the Koran’s punishments for unbelievers when he should have […]
Fitzgerald: Major Nidal Malik Hasan Gives Us All A Course In Islam
Nidal Malik Hasan offered a course in Islam here, but his real course in Islam came later, at Fort Hood. KILLEEN, Texas – Leaders of the vibrant Muslim community here expressed outrage on Friday at the shooting rampage being laid to one of their members, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who had become a regular attendee […]
Spencer: The Phantom Backlash
In Human Events this morning I discuss the uppermost concern of the law enforcement, government, and media elites in the wake of the jihad attack at Fort Hood: the fear of an anti-Muslim backlash. Backlash fever is sweeping the nation: thirteen Americans are dead and thirty-eight wounded in a jihad attack at Fort Hood, and […]
“Intelligence” agencies didn’t tell Army about Nidal Hasan’s emails to jihadist imam
“Based on what we know now, neither the United States Army nor any other organization within the Department of Defense knew of Maj. Hasan’s contacts with any Muslim extremists.” Would it have been “Islamophobic” to inform them? “Army Wasn’t Told of Hasan’s Emails: Pentagon Says It Only Learned of Shooting Suspect’s Contacts With Cleric After […]
Obama runs interference for Islamic jihad at Fort Hood
The cognitive dissonance here is that Major Hasan and many other Muslims clearly believe that their faith does justify these “murderous and craven acts.” By ruling out a priori any investigation of that fact, Obama is foreclosing on any serious analysis of what motivated this attack. That in turn will foreclose any serious analysis of […]
Yeah, sure, that’s it: FBI didn’t investigate Fort Hood shooter’s emails to jihadist cleric because they were just “research”
Hasan was just doing his job, you see — and in the course of doing that job, he contacted jihadist imam Anwar al-Awlaki. So what? What’s the big deal? An Army psychiatrist has to do research, doncha know, and who understands psychiatry better than an Islamic supremacist sheikh? Note that this was a guy who […]
FBI searching at Fort Hood shooter’s mosque
Could the mosque have taught him his understanding of Islam? “FBI Agents Search Trash At Mosque Attended by Hasan,” by Mary Rose Abraham and Rehab El-Buri for ABC News, November 10: FBI agents appeared to be carrying out a search warrant today at the Killeen, Texas mosque attended by Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the Islamic […]
Fort Hood shooter frequented strip club
Just like Atta and Co. And the obvious conclusion is in this article: “Hasan’s presence at the club paints a starkly different portrait of the alleged killer from that offered by his imam and family members, who have described him as a devout Muslim, and one who had difficulty finding a wife who would wear […]
Nidal Hasan explains the Koran and Islam
Here is Nidal Hasan’s PowerPoint presentation about Islam, Muslims, and the military. Note the copious quoting of the Koran; the explanation of the doctrine of abrogation (citing Koran 2:106 and 16:101), which usually Islamic apologists in the West dismiss as an invention of “Islamophobes”; and the explanations of defensive and offensive jihad. Islamic spokesmen in […]
