Take a look at Hasan's old mosque
New York Post ^ | November 7, 2009 | STEPHEN SCHWARTZ

Posted on 11/07/2009 3:56:01 PM PST by opentalk

What interpretation of Islam influ enced Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan? As often before, the trail leads to the official sect of Saudi Arabia -- known as Wahhabism to most of us of who denounce it.

Confronting the role of radical Islam here is not Islamophobic, but common sense -- and the first response moderate Muslims themselves will have.

Hasan, though born in America, refused to have his picture taken with women -- an attitude distinct to fundamentalist radicalism among Muslims. The Prophet Mohammed cautioned his followers that when they go to live in non-Muslim lands they must accept the laws and customs of their new home. Millions of American Muslims get their picture taken with women, even ones not their wives, and don't worry about it. To refuse such an elementary and even trivial act of courtesy sets Muslims apart -- and that is the aim of radicals.

We've also learned that, before his transfer to Ft. Hood last year, Hasan served as a psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC, and regularly attended Friday prayer at the Muslim Community Center in Silver Spring, Md.

The Silver Spring clerics have issued formal statements condemning the carnage at Ft. Hood. But Imam Faizul Khan, long the main prayer leader at the mosque and a friend of Hasan, said he never believed Hasan capable of such an act.

Yet what docrines did Hasan absorb at the mosque? While he was a communicant, it hosted at least four talks by Enver Masud, the founder of The Wisdom Fund, the main Muslim "truther" group in America.

And Khan is a leading board member of the Islamic Society of North America -- the main Wahhabi-lobby group in the United States, established by Saudi Arabia to impose extremism on American Muslims.

Yo. We are the ones being attacked on our own soil. There is NO NEED to apologize.

Unless they are under aged, naked, vulnerable, etc., etc.

President Obama's bow to Saudi king

When I read this article I kept getting the picture of Obama bowing to Saudi King.

why isn’t it a scandal for him to do that, but it’s the stuff of myth and legend if GWB takes a call from a Saudi leader?

What I find really amusing about his so-called Wahabi-ism is that for all of his shunning of females, it turns out that he received professional counselling for alcoholism, LOL- I keep waiting to see an article about this, but none yet - it was something I heard a military talking head mention last night.

Devout Muslin Alcoholic!

“Devout Muslin Alcoholic! “

Aren’t they all?!

A bunch of hypocrites, all of them. Otherwise, we’d all be stumped as to who it was that was blowing themselves up! They thrive on the publicity. The “leaders” promise everything they can to convince the underlings that dieing for the cause is the ultimate prize! The leaders are a bunch of Pu$$!e$ that would be afraid to have a face to face with opposition to their beliefs.

Radical Islam is an insane murder cult; moderate Islam is its Trojan Horse in the West.

Vodka AND Kool-Ade? Yech, what a deadly combination!

No wonder he went SJS; turning "shaheed" was the only way he could recieve absolution (Or should that be Absolut-shun?) and finally have his 72 devout Helen Thomases.

...but, so far, he's even failed at that.
