WASHINGTON (AP) - A classmate of the Fort Hood shooting suspect says Maj. Nidal Hasan was an outspoken opponent of the U.S. war on terror and called it a "war against Islam."

Dr. Val Finnell was a classmate of Hasan's at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md. Both attended a master's in public health program in 2007 and 2008.

Finnell says he got to know Hasan in an environmental health class.

His Mosque guy said he wanted a wife that prayed 5 times a day and wore a HIJAB.

Number of shootings, bombings or acts of espionage/sabotage perpetrated by Japanese nationals during WWII = 0.... Just saying.

How fast is the Whitey House and MSM sweeping this under the rug?

That’s not true.

Finnell says Hasan told classmates he was "a Muslim first and an American second."

It's going to be interesting to hear the Army explain why this dude wasn't bounced long ago.

I'm not condoning this one man jihad, but I know many Christians who place their Christianity above nationality.

That is generally a philosophy of most religions, I think.

Is the picture of obl photoshopped in the background?

[El Cid]

That’s not true.

Regarding Post 7 -- Maybe so, but there weren't any Japanese-American servicemen in WWII who attacked their fellow Americans...
Whereas there have been multiple cases of of 'sudden-Jihadi' syndrome amongst muslim-american servicemen...

[Sans-Culotte]

That photo is hilarious!

That's a good point. My cc at bootcamp taught us that it ranked: God, Family, Country

[VairyAngel]

Exactly.. Without God all is lost anyways..

[Earthdweller]

No...its not a war for religious reasons. We have had wars between other religions before, this is a struggle for civilization. There is only one thing that I and most liberals have in common, the belief that until violent extremists are eliminated...there will never be peace. The line comes at who you define as a violent extremist. This man is a violent extremist.

They are saying it’s stress. What a load.

People including an unborn baby and it’s mother are dead because of this maggot; and they are blaming stress.

Obama must go.
