What interpretation of Islam influ enced Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan? As often before, the trail leads to the official sect of Saudi Arabia -- known as Wahhabism to most of us of who denounce it.
Confronting the role of radical Islam here is not Islamophobic, but common sense -- and the first response moderate Muslims themselves will have.
Hasan, though born in America, refused to have his picture taken with women -- an attitude distinct to fundamentalist radicalism among Muslims. The Prophet Mohammed cautioned his followers that when they go to live in non-Muslim lands they must accept the laws and customs of their new home. Millions of American Muslims get their picture taken with women, even ones not their wives, and don't worry about it. To refuse such an elementary and even trivial act of courtesy sets Muslims apart -- and that is the aim of radicals.
We've also learned that, before his transfer to Ft. Hood last year, Hasan served as a psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC, and regularly attended Friday prayer at the Muslim Community Center in Silver Spring, Md.
The Silver Spring clerics have issued formal statements condemning the carnage at Ft. Hood. But Imam Faizul Khan, long the main prayer leader at the mosque and a friend of Hasan, said he never believed Hasan capable of such an act.
Yet what docrines did Hasan absorb at the mosque? While he was a communicant, it hosted at least four talks by Enver Masud, the founder of The Wisdom Fund, the main Muslim "truther" group in America.
And Khan is a leading board member of the Islamic Society of North America -- the main Wahhabi-lobby group in the United States, established by Saudi Arabia to impose extremism on American Muslims.

Thanks BUMP
Yo. We are the ones being attacked on our own soil. There is NO NEED to apologize.
Good Post showing that Hasan was a Wahhabist jihadi.
AND 2 of the 9/11 hijackers worshipped there. ‘nough said
“Hasan, though born in America, refused to have his picture taken with women — an attitude distinct to fundamentalist radicalism among Muslims.”
Unless they are under aged, naked, vulnerable, etc., etc.
When I read this article I kept getting the picture of Obama bowing to Saudi King.
why isn’t it a scandal for him to do that, but it’s the stuff of myth and legend if GWB takes a call from a Saudi leader?
Devout Muslin Alcoholic!
Tsk! Tsk!
Mr. Schwartz should not jump to conclusions.
bump
Hey, come on.
Joe Biden is an alcholic and he hasn’t gone on a shooting rampage, yet.
“Devout Muslin Alcoholic! “
Aren’t they all?!
A bunch of hypocrites, all of them. Otherwise, we’d all be stumped as to who it was that was blowing themselves up! They thrive on the publicity. The “leaders” promise everything they can to convince the underlings that dieing for the cause is the ultimate prize! The leaders are a bunch of Pu$$!e$ that would be afraid to have a face to face with opposition to their beliefs.
Vodka AND Kool-Ade? Yech, what a deadly combination!
No wonder he went SJS; turning "shaheed" was the only way he could recieve absolution (Or should that be Absolut-shun?) and finally have his 72 devout Helen Thomases.
...but, so far, he's even failed at that.
FReep mail me if you want on/off the list.
Disregard the ACORN ping. My mistake.
“Hasan, though born in America, refused to have his picture taken with women”
He must be really boiling that he was taken down by a woman!!!!!!
But an informative thread so thanks for the ping.
Don't 'cha just LOVE IT?
