FBI, US military in hunt for one-time recruit planning 'Fort Hood-style Jihad'
Fox News ^ | Monday, March 31, 2014 | Jana Winter

EXCLUSIVE: The FBI is searching for a recent Army recruit believed to be planning a "Fort Hood-inspired jihad against U.S. soldiers," FoxNews.com has learned.

The alert, whose legitimacy was confirmed by military and law enforcement officials, stated that a man identified as Booker had told friends of his "intention to commit jihad." Booker, who is also known as Muhammad Abdullah Hassan, was recruited by the U.S. Army in Kansas City, Mo., in February 2014 and was scheduled to report for basic training on April 7. But he was discharged last week, apparently after law enforcement authorities learned of his alleged plan.

Both the FBI and the 902d Military Intelligence Group at Fort Leavenworth are involved in the hunt.

We don’t have any evidence that Muhammad Abdullah Hassan is now or has ever been a member of any Tea Party group. Therefore, he cannot be a terrorist threat to America.

Are we to take it that the Army quietly rejected him for fear being labeled “islamophobes”. Better to suffer the casualties than be labeled “islamophobes”. And we wonder why they are so bold.

Kinda like the interviews with the Boston bombers before hand, better to suffer the attack than write a report using a term so volition as “Islamic extremist”...that could be a career ender.

First of all, it’s “workplace violence”. Second, why the hell is the Army recruiting these terrorists? No need to answer that.

“Muhammad Abdullah Hassan How separated is that from Barack Hussein 0bama?”

Quite a bit, actually, as it would appear that Mr. Hassan is actually black. That’s something Mr. Obama merely aspires to.

Isn’t this some sort of “discrimination”?

No person named Muhammad Abdullah Hassan should ever be permitted to serve in the U.S. military, much less granted a security clearance. I know: there are probably more good Muhammad Abdullah Hassans than bad ones, but at this juncture we can’t afford to take the chance.

It was the FBI that issued the alert... maybe they’ve decided the grandparents of the Tea Party aren’t that dangerous after all...

Same reason they are recruiting gays. To churn up trouble amongst the troops.

This administration hates the military and they will do whatever it takes to destroy it.

Remember what the Commander of the Army Post Gen Casey Said after Nidal Hassan killed all those soldiers” “real tragedy” would be harming the cause of diversity, saying, “As great a tragedy as this was, it would be a shame if our diversity became a casualty as well.” Several months later, in a February 2010 interview, Casey said, “Our diversity—not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse.” What a P.O.S. , I can’t believe someone like Casey ever became a General in the US military.

So he’s fully qualified for a job in the Obama administration.

If Americans spoke Arabic the military wouldn’t be giving Muslims the time of day.

The odd thing is that there is another known terrorist out there by that same name!
