Major Hasan: Soldier of Allah; Many Ties to Jihad Web Sites
ABC NEws ^ | 11-12-09 | By RICHARD ESPOSITO, MARY-ROSE ABRAHAM and RHONDA SCHWARTZ

Posted on 11/12/2009 1:27:12 PM PST by Western Journalism

United States Army Major Nidal Hasan proclaimed himself a "soldier of Allah" on private business cards he obtained over the Internet and kept in a box at his apartment near Fort Hood, Texas.

Hasan, the alleged perpetrator of last week's fatal shootings in Fort Hood, TX, was charged Thursday with 13 counts of premeditated murder under Article 118 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which can carry a sentence up to death or life imprisonment.

"He was making no secret of allegiances," said former FBI agent Brad Garrett, an ABC News consultant.

It is quite Obvious that Hasan was a terrorist. His allegiances were clearly not to the United States. Thankfully the media is finally reporting the truth.

I heard some american idol types and dancing with the stars fans saying it was a terrorist attack. If even they realize it was a terrorist attack, can the media be far behind?

This wee-weed-up former FBI dude must not have received the memo about jumping to conclusions. Hasan the Traitor was just doing some research, innocently, innocuously, right? Didn't the Army Chief of Staff tell us that the new definition of 'diversity' now includes jihadists?

If our soldiers were killed and wounded by a someone who was a 'soldier of Allah', then why are they denied Purple Hearts?

Our soldiers were killed and wounded by the enemy, but to avoid political embarrassment are denied recognition or honor. Instead they are treated as if they were hapless common crime victims.

Maybe this article claiming that he'd had an "Allah is Love" sticker (no such phrase existed on Google prior to the news item) got it wrong. Maybe he had a "Soldier of Allah" sticker on his car.

PS, there are 298,000 matches for “Allah is love” on Google this week. Last week there were EIGHT.

From Nov 6:

A quick google of images for “Allah is Love” sticker has ZERO matches. Shouldn’t there be SOMEWHERE you can buy one?

http://images.google.com/images?gbv=2&hl=en&sa=1&q=%22allah+is+love%22+sticker&aq=f&oq=&aqi=&start=0

The only 8 matches for this phrase and the word sicker in general web search are hits on this article.

Didn't Kerry shoot himself in the butt and apply for a purple heart for the "shrapnel" injury?

While I believe that the acts committed by Major Nidal Hasan were in fact terrorism, I do not want him charged for terrorism but charged for criminal acts. My rational for this is if he is charged for terrorism then jurisdiction change and the Dept. of Homeland Security becomes the investigators and will be prosecuted by the Justice Dept. in Federal Civilian Courts and if/when found guilty will serve his time in Civilian Federal Penitentiary. If kept as criminal acts the Military retains jurisdiction of the investigation and will face a General Court Marshal where defense lawyers do not have the latitude they have in Civilian Courts. Also if/when found guilty and even if he get a life sentence he will face a Military Federal Penitentiary like Ft Leavenworth where they really do make little rocks out of big rocks.

No Purple Hearts for the Ft Hood 'victims'.

The Administration would need admit that it was the action of the enemy, ie a terrorist attack. So, they pretend it was a crime, and add insult to the soldiers' injury by denying them the honor they earned.

Vietnam "veteran" John Kerry being a swift boat COMMANDER awarded himself with 3 purple hearts without any hospital stay... In Vietnam 3 purple hearts was a ticket OUT.

Well he DID go back a decade later to shoot some home movie footage for “documentary purposes” in campaign materials. He did TWO tours of doodie.

Let's see, if he'd used a suicide bomb, would that be "terrorism"? If so, the only difference would be the choice of weapon.

If he did so by the order of a superior within an organization, does that make it "terrorism"? If so, then if he instead follows their "suggestions," the only difference would be the degree of his fanatacism, which doesn't change the act one bit.

An amorphous global jihad requires little in the way of organization. Indeed, the less there is the better to avoid detection and intervention. Hence, this was clearly within the realm of murderous acts for political and religious ends, just as much as any other act of nominal terrorism. You can call him "crazy" but then, you would have to call every jihadi the same thing.

Does the MSM wish to deem all forms of fervent Islam a mental disorder? Hmmm???? If so, keep an armed guard at every studio because your field reporters are sitting ducks.

It’s obvious that this maggot was inspired by the teachings of the “religion of peace.”
