Fort Hood gunman Nidal Hassan 'is a hero': Iman who preached to 9/11 hijackers in Va.
New York Daily News ^ | 11/8/2009 | James Gordon Meek

FALLS CHURCH, Va. - A Muslim imam who once preached at a suburban Washington mosque and befriended several 9/11 hijackers appeared to gloat about Army Maj. Nidal Hasan's killing spree at Fort Hood on his blog Monday.

Hasan reportedly attended services in 2001 at the massive Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Virginia -- and his mother's funeral service was held there that year at a time when Anwar al-Awlaki was its imam.

A message posted on Awlaki's blog was titled, "Nidal Hassan Did the Right Thing."

"Nidal Hassan is a hero," Awlaki wrote. "He is a man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people."

The blog entry surfaced on the same day as an ABC News report that American intelligence agencies knew months ago that the Fort Hood gunman had tried to contact people linked to Al Qaeda.

The Dar al-Hijrah mosque is directly across the street from a residence where a half-dozen Turkmen Muslims known as Uighurs were slated to be relocated from Guantanamo Bay, according to a law enforcement source. Lawmakers scuttled the plan.

Awlaki's blog posting was first reported by NEFA Foundation terror expert Evan Kohlmann.

Awlaki is a American who left the U.S. after the 9/11 attacks and is believed to be in Yemen -- where he is believed to have maintained Al Qaeda and Hamas affiliations.

Federal agents may be trying to connect Hasan to Awlaki.

The 9/11 commission's final report said its investigators unsuccessfully tried to locate Awlaki, who has denied meeting future hijackers Hani Hanjour and Nawaf al-Hazmi at his Falls Church mosque.

Is incitement to murder a felony, and does this guy qualify?

If a Christian church had a similar body count associated with it, they’d be calling it a “cult compound” by now.

Well, does that mean the Imam will leave America? It is a 70% Christian country.

Why is this person not enjoying the experience of “rendition” before being deported to some country that would be happy to execute him?

Interesting point. At what point is free speech not free ? Where do we draw the line ? I know that we are not free to shout FIRE in a crowded room which might cause a stampede, but does PRAISING an act of terror cross the bounds of protected speech ?

Apparently this nut is an American Citizen. I don't know what one has to do before one can be stripped of citizenship. I would say that making an openly treasonous statement like this should qualify, but the authorities don't seem to consider it so.

I don’t think you can be stripped of citizenship. You can only renounce it.

Too bad. I still think he needs to be “disappeared.”

And what about the playbook?

The Koran:

Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution of Muslims is worse than slaughter of non-believers...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."

Sura (4:74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward."

Sura (4:76) - "Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah…"

Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"

Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"

Sura (8:39) - "And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah"

Sura (8:57) - "If thou comest on them in the war, deal with them so as to strike fear in those who are behind them, that haply they may remember."

Sura (9:14) - "Fight them, Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace..."

Sura (9:29) - "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."

Sura (9:30) - "And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!"

Sura (9:123) - "O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness."

Sura (47:4) - "So when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks until when you have overcome them, then make them prisoners,"

Sura (61:4) - "Surely Allah loves those who fight in His way"

Sura (66:9) - "O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be stern with them. Hell will be their home, a hapless journey's end

From the Hadith:

Muslim (1:33) - the Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah

Bukhari (8:387) - Allah's Apostle said, “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’”

Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared, "Kill any Jew who falls under your power."

Ibn Ishaq: 327 - “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”

Ibn Ishaq: 992 - "Fight everyone in the way of Allah and kill those who disbelieve in Allah."

I heard a caller on the Chris Plante show this morning make an excellent observation. “If the Germans and Japanese could declare themselves a religion, they’d beat us quite handily today.”

Apparently "free speech" does not include the right to criticize our Leader or to engage in "hate speech" against the Left's agenda, but does include obscenity, profantity, pornography, and out-and-out incitement to murder by "oppressed" groups.

Couldn’t we just decide we don’t tolerate people like this in our country? I mean we, as in the people who still care about this country.

Insofar as we can separate the Jihadis and treasonous Sharia supporters, I favor exiling them. I think we have grounds to get rid of people who advocate the overthrow of America.

The difficulty is determining who is whom. I am not willing to throw out a large bunch of patriotic Americans who happen to be Muslim in order to get rid of their noxious brethren.

If there were a good way to separate them, then fine.

Otherwise, you’d be lining up just a different group of people for the cattle cars. We Jews wouldn’t support that against our opponents.

It’d be easy, anyone who preaches treason and those who go to here those sermons.
