Fort Hood Shooting: American Muslims Express Fear, Frustration

The news that the suspect is one of their own brings up familiar feelings. Besides fears of retribution, they're tired of sensing pressure to apologize for someone else's 'maniacal brutality.'

By Duke Helfand and Richard Fausset November 7, 2009

Reporting from Los Angeles and Atlanta - The news made Nihad Awad sick to his stomach.

Like the rest of the nation, Awad, who heads the Council on American-Islamic Relations, learned this week that it was a Muslim who opened fire at a U.S. Army base in Texas, killing 13 people and injuring many more. According to witnesses, Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan issued the great, exalting cry of his faith before opening fire:

"Allahu akbar!" God is great.

Hearing the story, Awad too would invoke his maker -- but with a weary lament that is echoing coast to coast among American Muslims.

"I said, 'Oh God, here we go again,' " Awad recalled. "We know what will come when a Muslim name flashes across the [television] screen. What will come is guilt by association."

In response to Thursday's shooting, mosques around the U.S. denounced the violence and implemented a range of overt and subtle security measures. In the Los Angeles area, Islamic groups contacted police and sheriffs, who stepped up patrols of mosques and Muslim community centers.

USC sophomore Janan Al-Henaid said that her mother called Friday, asking her to come home to Claremont and to be careful when going out. "And she's never done that before," Al-Henaid said.

Muslim groups participated in a conference call Friday with federal agencies -- including the Homeland Security and Justice departments -- to discuss Muslim Americans' safety.

Well you know its hard for Americans to understand that religious fervor is not derangement. He was not in fact deranged, which implies he was out of contol. This man Hasan was calm and methodical, he was conducting the religious ritual of a Mujihad, knowing that if he died, both he and his victims would join before Allah in heaven.

Thats hard for us to wrap our minds around, but he was not deranged at all.

Take a look:

Witnesses described Hasan, who was wearing an Army uniform during the assault, as steely calm. He paused only to reload one of his handguns.

(Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Tex.) )She said he targeted specific people as he stalked through a deployment center, two handguns blazing.* (Senator Hutchison took notes from people who were at the scene, knowing the facts would be spun.)

“It was very deliberate in his approach, they said that he was calm,” Lt. Gen. Robert W. Cone, the base commander at Fort Hood, told “Good Morning America” today.

“He was shooting people more than once if he could,” said Cone.

Munley took down a stone, cold killer, who was fully in control of himself, a Mahujadine blazing with the inner spiritual fire of Allah, pure evil. That makes her deed all the more heroic.Allah and Jehovah in that sense had a shoot out, and Jehovah got the drop on Allah.Stopped him cold.
That makes her accomplishment all the more significant. And the Muzzies are trembling over it, as well they should.

God almighty did send an angel, and she was victorious.
God bless her and keep her.She is every American patriot. The nation is full of us.

Prayers up for those who lost their loved ones to this religious genocide.

And US Muslims, start turning in ever POS Imam you have who preaches jihad against our nation. You know you have reason tio be attacked. TURN THEM IN.Muslims of America!
Become Americans, or leave.

Exactly. After 9/11, where Muslims killed 3000 Americans, I think there was one murder, by some drunken moron who killed an Indian man who wasn't even Muslim. No one applauded this killer, and he went to jail as he deserved. Other than that, I recall some headline bemoaning something like 3000 incidents where people...said mean things to Muslims! Oh, boo freakin hoo, I guess we deserved to have our people hung in Iraq, and of course, for Palestinian vermin to dance and cheer on 9/11.

Chrissy Matthews and his wussified ilk can be good widdle liberals all they want, siding with the "unpopular" people in this time so they can pat themselves on the back for backing the underdog. But let's not let him and his crew forget how wrong they are, and how utterly INSANE it is to be applauding the terrorist-supporting CAIR in the midst of OUR OWN TROOPS BEING MURDERED.

How any self-respecting American could ever turn on MSNBC after Matthews' disgraceful sucking up to CAIR last night is beyond me.

Whatever you do,try not to give a flip about the people who were murdered by your fellow damned death cult member.

It’s being said that the killer believed the war on terror was a war on Islam. Was he the only officer in the military who was willing to speak the truth in public?

I haven’t heard anything about any suicide bombers who weren’t followers of Islam. An undisputable fact.

Ya, but if all the Muzzie packed up and moved back to Asscreckastan, who would be left in Dearborn, Detroit, etc, etc?

Not that I would miss them personnally or anything, or the welfare payments et al they collect.

I know I would feel better, and I’m sure everyone here would as well - knowing these poor, battered, harrased folks were safe and sound back in their own blessed countries - able to practice whatever it is that they practice, just like they want.

Who’s going to start passing the collection plate????

Yawn.

You can't con an honest man.

Based on what past experience to Mohammedans feel this apprehension? The mass killings that followed 9/11? The internment camps that followed the Cole and Embassy bombings? The media outrage at the discovery that the Beltway snipers were, in fact jihadists? The racial profiling of specific types at airports in response to shoe bombers and flying Imams?

Oh... wait... those things never happened.

What did happen is the Mohammedan pressure groups (such as CAIR) learned from minority race hustlers and feminists that there is no charge so silly that some white liberal will not bend over forward to obsequiously apologize for and even remediate. Now an adherent of TROPTM has murdered 13 people and ruined the lives of countless others, but those of us who doesn't subscribe to his fanatical religion are the ones who must feel guilty. Baloney.

This blind hatred and the indiscriminate violence it breeds isn't our problem: it's yours. Fix it or pack the hell up and get out.

Empty lots have a certain charm...and they don't try to kill our nation. Suits me.

CAIR’s muslims can start cleaning out their mosques of those who take the Qur’an literally about waging jihad on us infidels.

Agreed! I would turn him off, except I haven't turned him on in...forever! I do not contribute to the ENEMEDIA in any way, shape or form.

They come to a free country then try to impose their insane culture on the inhabitants. They have no intention of assimilating. If they want to live under sharia law they need to stay in their own countries, and not come into ours and attack and kill Christians in our own homeland. They can deny it all they want to, but the Koran tells them to kill us every chance they get. They need to know that their bloodthirsty ways are a threat to civilization and we need protection from them. We have rights too.

Muslims need to police their own... If their tired of hearing about Muslims running over their own children, or killing random unarmed strangers - then they need to educate their violent young that those actions are criminal.

When I see the Council on American-Islamic Relations having training sessions for Muslim young men on how to act cizilized - then I'll believe they are sincere. Until then they're playing the black ( yes, it can be played by Muslims ) race card to evoke white guilt. And me? I don't feel any white guilt toward these people. They didn't come here in chains like black people... and we don't "owe" them. If they don't like it here - if they don't like us - they can go back to the wonderful countries they came from...

Why are they the only group not judged by their associates?

Bingo.

When the local police comes around to our synagogues to help protect us Jews, it is because there was a threat AGAINST us, not because a Jew was shooting up a roomful of people.

When there are actual threats to the safety of the Muslim community, protect them with extra force. Until then, protect the ACTUAL victims.

They were talking about how Husan was giving away all his possessions in the context that he knew he was being deployed. BS. This was his suicide mission. He was giving away his stuff because he expected to be killed in the act of his terrorism.

A nutcase who hated women in Canada...shot women.

The 9/11 attacks were on...those the killers hated.

Yet it's a mystery never to be solved to Chrissy Matthews and company what could have POSSIBLY motivated a Muslim who posted anti-troop thougths who shouted "Ollie Ollie Akbarfree" or whatever.

And on the plus side, we would have a smaller carbon footprint - win/win, yes?

During WW II, my dad was refused groceries at the corner grocery store because they thought he was German

My relatives, many of them, were German. But that was not nearly so bad in WW-II as it had been in WW-I. Then many German Bier Garten became Swiss Beer Gardens.

In WW-II we had Eisenhower (a German name) and (von)Nimitz, also German. Nimitz was even from a German town, Fredericksburg Tx,
