Fort Hood shooting: Texas army killer linked to September 11 terrorists Major Nidal Malik Hasan worshipped at a mosque led by a radical imam said to be a "spiritual adviser" to three of the hijackers who attacked America on Sept 11, 2001.

Hasan, the sole suspect in the massacre of 13 fellow US soldiers in Texas, attended the controversial Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Virginia, in 2001 at the same time as two of the September 11 terrorists, The Sunday Telegraph has learnt. His mother's funeral was held there in May that year.

The preacher at the time was Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born Yemeni scholar who was banned from addressing a meeting in London by video link in August because he is accused of supporting attacks on British troops and backing terrorist organisations.

Hasan's eyes "lit up" when he mentioned his deep respect for al-Awlaki's teachings, according to a fellow Muslim officer at the Fort Hood base in Texas, the scene of Thursday's horrific shooting spree.

As investigators look at Hasan's motives and mindset, his attendance at the mosque could be an important piece of the jigsaw. Al-Awlaki moved to Dar al-Hijrah as imam in January, 2001, from the west coast, and three months later the September 11 hijackers Nawaf al-Hamzi and Hani Hanjour began attending his services. A third hijacker attended his services in California.

i’m just surprised we haven’t been told that the ‘real’ suspect was a blonde haired, blue eyed, amish kid from PA

We’ll know whether he did the ritual shaving.

If he didn’t, they’ll tell us. If he did, they won’t.

Timothy McVeigh is a terrorist but Major Nidal Hasan is not? WTF?

We all need to come to grips with the fact that the left has completely unsubscribed to the very concept of Islamic terrorism.

They have done this so thoroughly that no atrocity, no matter how horrific or brutal, and no matter the overwhelming evidence for Islamic religious motivation, they will attempt to find an alternative explanation.

In essence, they have bought what the Islamo-Nazis are selling, and are allowing themselves to be used as enablers of the global jihad.

It should be one for one. One suicide bomber explodes, his or her mosque explodes!

What a nice cozy little basketful of snakes.. and how many more are here.. and some even born here?

We get the society we deserve or do we when we allow others to supercede the rights of natural-born US citizens to follow the Constitution and laws of the land rather than the guiding documents of Islam.

We got us a mess is what we got.

We’re not afraid to call ‘em as we sees ‘em.
An informal poll of friends and family tells me that average folk know that this was an act of terrorism.

I’m eager to hear Glenn’s comments too. I’m sure that CAIR will become a few octaves more shrill. Seriously, we as a nation are going to have to come to grips with the fact that Islam is the mortal enemy of western civilization, and that they mean to conquer us. If we don’t, they will succeed. I fervently hope someday to see American leftists who have collaborated with them hunted like animals. As much as I loathe and despise the jihadi’s, I quite frankly have more respect for them than I do the modern American political class. Those GD vermin have sold us out.

When you yell "Allah akbar"....you know exactly why.

Note: IIRC, the last message from Usama and/or his henchman said to take the initiative as individuals to attack peoples of the USA.

The state of Virginia had over 40 madrasahs—the news I told friends about six years ago. :(

And...that was six years ago, imagine how many are there now and also spreading across the U.S. Bad news.

Obama already knows fully why. Heck - he was on the DHS transition team. Doesn't get any cozier than that. Who did he know to get that gig?

Why am I not surprised? He was a “sleeper” and came out from under the rock when he was called.

There will be more....
