Some keep telling us that Nidal Malik Hasan’s act “had nothing to do with being a Muslim.” And there is a variant on this, used by those who, though they may have reservations about Islam, offer us a false alternative. One such Offeror of False Alternatives is that publicity-hound the henna-haired Irshad Manji, Brave Young […]
Fitzgerald: Major Hasan and the Fog of War
#1. “Major Hasan’s motives are still being investigated, though his family and acquaintances cited stress fro his counseling job, his opposition to the wars, his pending deployment and his feeling that he was being harassed as a Muslim.” #2. “But those who work day in and day out treating the psychological wounds of the country’s […]
Soldier’s mom says Fort Hood jihadist scared her
Staring into the face of evil. “Mom of soldier says Fort Hood doctor Nidal Malik Hasan scared her,” by Joanna Molloy for the New York Daily News, November 9: He was supposed to help her hero son – but all she saw in Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan’s eyes was evil. The mom of a soldier […]
Fort Hood jihadist’s business card: “Soldier of Allah (SWT)”
Note the “SoA (SWT)” Pamela has the details.
DHS Secretary warns that Fort Hood jihad must not be repeated — no, wait…
You guessed it: her primary concern, like everyone else’s, is guarding against that ever-threatening phantom, an “anti-Muslim backlash.” An Islamic jihadist murders thirteen Americans, and American officials rush to declare that they will do everything in their power to protect…Muslims. What’s wrong with this picture? “Fort Hood killer ‘does not represent Muslims’: American security chief,” […]
Muslim at Islamic Community of Greater Killeen, Texas: “I honestly have no pity” for victims of the Fort Hood jihad
Hamas-linked unindicted co-conspirator CAIR is shedding crocodile tears and issuing condemnations of the Fort Hood jihad that contradict years of its opposition to all anti-terror measures and all anti-jihadists. Some Muslims, however, are not so clever. (Thanks to Axel.)
U.S.-born Islamic cleric: Nidal Hasan “Did the Right Thing”
I already wrote about this here, but it is illuminating to see the whole statement, with its Koran quotation and Islamic arguments. Those who are claiming that Hasan’s actions had nothing to do with Islam need to confront these arguments and explain them. Otherwise, they are only abetting the problem by allowing American Muslim advocacy […]
US officials were aware months ago that Fort Hood jihadist was trying to contact Al-Qaeda
But apparently reining in this mass murderer before he murdered 13 people would have been “Islamophobic.” “Officials: U.S. Aware of Hasan Efforts to Contact al Qaeda,” by Richard Esposito, Matthew Cole and Brian Ross for ABCNews, November 9 (thanks to all who sent this in): U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major […]
Fitzgerald: A Nest of Ninnies
Saturday, November 7: I have spent much of today listening to programs and reading online as much as I can stand of the American and foreign coverage about Fort Hood, and the mass-murdering Nidal Malik Hasan. I have been subjected today to as much nonsense and demisemihemi quasi-quavering distractions and deceptions, from various quarters, as […]
Fitzgerald: What we know about Major Nidal Malik Hasan
There is every evidence, as has been repeated here in many postings, that he was an unswerving, perfectly orthodox Muslim. He was not a recent convert, like Richard Reid or Jose Padilla, or John Walker LIndh, or David Hicks. He was not a seemingly lapsed or indifferent Muslim, as was the Taheri-Azar killer in Chapel […]
