Imam says Fort Hood suspect didn't seem radical
Associated Press

SILVER SPRING, MD. — A Maryland imam at the mosque attended by the suspected Fort Hood, Texas, shooter says the Army psychiatrist never seemed to be an extremist.

Imam Faizul Khan says he knew Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan for more than 10 years. They first met at the Muslim Community Center in Silver Spring.

Kahn says Hasan was quiet and reserved. They mostly discussed religious matters, but Khan says Hasan never seemed controversial. They rarely discussed politics.

Kahn says they spoke often about how Hasan wanted to find a wife. He says Hasan never married.

On a form filled out by those seeking spouses through a program at the mosque, Kahn says Hasan listed his birthplace as Arlington, Va., but his nationality as Palestinian. Khan says he doesn't know why because Hasan was born in the United States.

Kahn says they spoke often about how Hasan wanted to find a wife.

Was that some kind of ploy to calm himself down?

Maybe he found one.

Didn’t seem radical? I guess we know where this Mosque stands. I suppose that any murderer in Islam doesn’t seem that radical. Now being “Westernized”, that’s freaking radical.

Of course none of them do. But “Palestinians” at our US universities have been known to say that they wouldn’t join our Army, because they could “never kill another Arab.” Our political and business (favored constituent) leaders are so smart, that they keep oil (freight fuel) prices down by avoiding conflict with Iran (the main source of enemy materiel and training).

You know what , get these people the f*ck out of my country . Yea yea yea there are some nice ones , whatever. Out I say get the hell out. They have ZERO in common with us no need for them to be here. I guess the nice ones will have to suffer with the rest but I have my own problems. Thats what they get for not reeling in their own. Only a stupid nation would be attacked by an enemy and then invite them in even larger after the attack.
So now this POS cousin is calling him a victim. Poor baby was harassed in the Army. Tough shit. Who cares?
He was a punk a wackoo and a piece of human garbage.
Hey , I have a GREAT idea. Let’s invite even MORE of them into the country ..

Not real surprising. The ones who tell everyone what they’re about to do tend to get arrested.

The religion of peace. Now there are 12 American soliders who are at peace (dead) because of Hasan.

The spin is that Obama will blame George Bush for driving this guy to go crazy! Hasan is a George Bush victim

To understand the nature of the Mosque and it’s Imam, Investigate to find out if the Mosque received any Funds from Saudi Arabia to teach Wahabbism.

Many Mosques do.

They are nurturing the Serpent in our Midst.

A moderate Muslim is a Muslim who ignores the Quran. I've known moderate-to-liberal Muslims before, and they drink, womanize, and don't care much about religion. You can call them MINOs (Muslims In Name Only). Turkey is full of them--witness the topless beaches and bars.

Anyone who follows the Quran is a radical because the Quran is radical and violent. It doesn't fit with a modern world, and my hope is that someday soon it's going to crack under this strain. I hope so as Europe is set to become majority Muslim in a few decades. Such an ugly religion.

CONTEXT:

"7. Muslims can lie to non-Muslims to advance Islam and this is called "Taqiyya" (تقية) (Koran 3:28, 16:106). 8. Muslims can omit the truth to non-Muslims to advance Islam and this is called "Kitman"."

“On a form filled out by those seeking spouses through a program

Va., but his nationality as Palestinian.”

What a shock (/SARC)

When I heard of the obscene murders/assaults at Ft. Hood...
and that the shooter was born of Jordanians...
statistically, I thought there was a good chance that this was at
least in spirit...a Palestinian.
