Army: Suspect said `Allahu Akbar!' before shooting
Associated Press ^ | November 6, 2009 | April Castro and Devlin Barrett

Posted on 11/06/2009 5:10:28 AM PST by reaganaut1

FORT HOOD, Texas – The base commander at Fort Hood says soldiers who witnessed a shooting rampage that left 13 people dead reported that the gunman shouted "Allahu Akbar!" before opening fire at the Texas post.

Lt. Gen. Robert Cone told NBC's "Today" show on Friday that suspected shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, made the comment, which is Arabic for "God is great!" before the rampage Thursday that also left 30 people wounded.

Military officials say they are still piecing together what may have pushed Hasan, an Army psychiatrist trained to help soldiers in distress, to turn on his comrades.

Cone says Hasan was not known to be a threat or risk.

Hasan was shot four times during the rampage. Cone says he is hospitalized in stable condition and that military officials will interrogate him as soon as possible.

Muslims tend to be loyal to their religion, not the country they emigrate to.

Any muslim anywhere is at risk of Sudden Jihad Syndrome.

This guy did everything but email his jihad plan to the base commander. He was a walking “red flag.”

And due to PC fears, nobody did anything about this time bomb.

Then I guess this is no longer a rumor!

WOW! JUST WOW!

Waiting for Uh-bama to spin this into Bush’ fault for forcing “Good Muslim-Americans” to fight their “own people” in an “Illegal War.”

But don't worry, it still isn't "terrorism."

Well of course he said it. Isn’t that how all Muslim terrorists start their killing?

And this morning, they are sticking to that. It's just unbelievable. The media is still playing the harassed soldier "snapped" angle. Can't even listen.

I can’t believe that the Today show let this on the air. Guess they don’t have a “dump” button!

Well, for those who had questions about whether they could call this terrorism, that pretty much seals it.

I’m glad this POS is still breathing so he has to face the families and fellow soliders whose lives he’s ruined. No 72 virgins for this scum bag.

“...to turn on his comrades. “

They were NOT his comrades.

Geraldo is already crying that the guy needs to be tried in a civilian court.

Apparently the fact that he’s a soldier, in uniform, killing more than a dozen soldiers on a military base isn’t enough for Jerry Rivers.

What is there to piece together? It was a muslim suicide attack on our troops. The guy was a coward to blow himself up.

I think the base commander (Cone) was the one who made sure this info got out...I watched his hands as he pronounced the words of Hasan.

I hope Obama has nightmares.
