An Army major behind the murders of 13 US soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas, expressed sympathy for suicide bombers and support for terrorists waging war against US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Police shot and wounded Major Nidal Malik Hasan, a psychiatrist, after he went on a killing spree outside a readiness center for troops preparing to deploy to Iraq. Hasan, a Muslim American, opened fire with handguns on soldiers at the center.
Eleven US soldiers were killed and 31 more were wounded before Hasan was shot by members of a SWAT team and detained by police.
Initial reports indicated that Hasan had support from other soldiers. Two soldiers were detained by police but have subsequently been released.
The shooting spree caused a lockdown at Fort Hood, the home of the 1st Cavalry Division and the largest base in the US. Residents were instructed to lock their doors and turn off air conditioning units in case of a terrorist attack. The lockdown was lifted later in the evening after police ensured the situation was safe.
Major Hasan has made several controversial statements over the past several years that indicate he is sympathetic to suicide bombers and supportive of Islamist terrorists.
Six months ago, the FBI investigated Hasan for statements purportedly made by him on the Scribd website that equated suicide bombers with a US soldier who sacrificed himself to save his fellow soldiers:

Hasan also was vocal in his opposition to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and praised Muslims who attacked US troops in the US, according to Colonel Terry Lee (Retired), a former coworker who served with Hasan at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC.
"'We shouldn't be over there,'" Hasan told other officers, Lee said during an interview with FOX News. "'Muslims should stand up and fight against the aggressors,'" Hasan would continue, according to Lee, referring to US forces.
Hasan also praised the murder of two US soldiers who were killed outside of a recruitment center in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Corrected.
I think it is sad that the MSM is not referring to this as a terrorist attack. I’m so sick of Political Correctness...
We had a TERRORIST attack on our land this week, plain and simple!!
So there is no doubt that Co Peters is right.... FR Thread

I had long wondered why people on the Left had the propensity to speak more positively about people who would slit their throats than they do about their own country, which affords them more freedom and opportunity than anywhere else. David Horowitz has answered that question thoroughly and convincingly in his Unholy Alliance. Where I felt bewildered and confused, I now feel crystal clear. Unholy Alliance is such a great book.
It begins with the leftist movements at the beginning of the 20th Century, and works its way up to the present day, exploring the anti-American attitude of these movements in detail. Horowitz shows that the enemies of the US back then are largely the same group today, operating under the same misperceptions, making the same mistakes, and pursuing the same impossible utopia.
Hey Ernest...while I was putting together the link for your post, you were already linking to my thread from earlier today! Great minds definitely think alike... :)
yeah....well our POTUS “may never know what the cause is”....but that’s only if its terrorism.
We had better “overreact” and boot all practicing Muslims the hell out of the military now! It is just too risky being at war and having the possible enemy in our ranks. Wouldn’t be the case with jews or christians but the islamic religion is one messed up religion!
I think we have a lot of Headline readers looking at FR so even though the info is on other threads...it is scattered....and for the quick browsers they might miss important facts....
Like ...He is a DAMN Terrorist ...not a crazed madman....
Saw on a thread that we have 15,000 Muslims in the service....
Amen brother! I’m glad you posted the thread...thanks!
I have got to go and do something else...
Until Maj Nasty comes out of his coma we won't know whether this was an act in self defense!
SARC OFF!
Every one of them need to be screened to see if they have connections with a Jihadist Imam here in the USA.
If so, show them the door.
Periodoc security checks for the rest.
I hope this scumbag lives long enough for a trial so we can hang the SOB - in public.
There are no moderate or modern Muzlems. There are only closet Jihadists.
Ask 0bama . . . he be one.
The actual quote from the book is from page 261 and is as follows:
“Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
Heard on KFI here in SoCal that he was off the ventilator....
