'Islam not responsible' for Fort Hood massacre: US imam

Islam is "not responsible" for the bloodbath at an army base in Texas where Muslim-American army Major Nidal Malik Hasan allegedly gunned down 13 people, the prayer leader at the mosque where the officer regularly worshipped said Friday.

"We offer our condolences and prayers to the families that have a person who died," said Imam Mohammed Abdullahi over loud-speakers that carried the weekly Muslim prayer to several hundred worshippers gathered at the mosque.

“Islam IS responsible for Fort Hood massacre”: US AMERICAN. Me.

[ETL]

"Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who allegedly killed 11 people before being shot and wounded by police at Fort Hood, had said Muslims should "rise up" and attack Americans in retaliation for the US war in Iraq, a former army colleague said."

"He said Muslims should stand up and fight the aggressor and that we should not be in the war in the first place." He said that Major Hasan said he was "happy" when a US soldier was killed in an attack on a military recruitment centre in Arkansas in June. An American convert to Islam was accused of the shootings.

Col Lee alleged that other officers had told him that Major Hasan had said "maybe people should strap bombs on themselves and go to Times Square" in New York.

The word Imam is to me synonomous with the word cockroach. Islam has been the mortal enemy of western civilization for centuries, and it still is. Any American who doesn’t recognize this fact is delusional, stupid or in league with those degenerate bastards.

Hey Ali Baba, get a clue!

[JSDude1]

YES IT IS; not that God wants us to hate Muslims, but Islam is responsible and to deny the truth is just plain stoopid, and forcing reality to catch up to one, another day!

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

You lie!

These men are being taught the same thing in all of the mosques. "By your fruits you shall know them."

Has anybody else noticed that (so-called) American muslims, from this source to CAIR have been quickly jumping up to condemn all the recent muslim outrages? For the very first time, even since 9/11, the usual muslim apologists have ALL been doing their best to distance themselves from these actions.

Personally, I find that ominous...

[reagan_fanatic]

Every time an imam lies, a demon gets its wings.

Yeah, and Marxism had nothing to do with Communism. Fascism had nothing to do with Nazis. Jesus had nothing to do with Christianity.

Islam had everything to do with Hasan’s actions. Maybe when he yelled out, God is Great in Arabic, as he was killing a room full of people, could be considered an indication that Hasan believed that he was being a good Muslim?

Hasan is NOT an isolated instance. How many times have we heard Muslims chanting God is Great before they killed their innocent victims? It is absurd to say that this had nothing to do with Islam.

I know Sunni Muslims from Iraq who think all the jihadists are dangerous nutcases.

[GeronL]

Of course not, from their perspective US immorality is responsible

[hal ogen]

I know many Americans who feel that jihadists are dangerous nutcases. Unfortunately, none are in the current administration.

[Typical_Whitey]

Uhmmm .... Yes it is ....

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’ve seen articles today that say this bass turd murdered either 11, 12 or 13 people depending on who you are reading. Anyone know the correct number? The “media” appears to be clueless. At this rate, we can expect the “media” to be saying next week that this guy only shot a couple of squirrels and did not harm any human beings.

We know...we know...it’s the religion of peace!

[JamesA]

Screw your so called, false religion; Thats being politically correct and I am so not sorry if it offends.

[eyedigress]

OF Course Islam is responsible. So is MSNBC, NBC, CBS, NPR, ABC, and the print media. Coddle this crap and you see what happens.
