Imam says Fort Hood suspect didn't seem radical (until just about now?)

Imam says Fort Hood suspect didn't seem radical
Associated Press
11/05/09 10:35 PM EST

SILVER SPRING, MD. — A Maryland imam at the mosque attended by the suspected Fort Hood, Texas, shooter says the Army psychiatrist never seemed to be an extremist.

Imam Faizul Khan says he knew Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan for more than 10 years. They first met at the Muslim Community Center in Silver Spring.

Kahn says Hasan was quiet and reserved. They mostly discussed religious matters, but Khan says Hasan never seemed controversial. They rarely discussed politics.

Kahn says they spoke often about how Hasan wanted to find a wife. He says Hasan never married.

On a form filled out by those seeking spouses through a program at the mosque, Kahn says Hasan listed his birthplace as Arlington, Va., but his nationality as Palestinian. Khan says he doesn't know why because Hasan was born in the United States.

Was that some kind of ploy to calm himself down?

Maybe he found one.

Didn’t seem radical? I guess we know where this Mosque stands. I suppose that any murderer in Islam doesn’t seem that radical. Now being “Westernized”, that’s freaking radical.

Of course none of them do. But “Palestinians” at our US universities have been known to say that they wouldn’t join our Army, because they could “never kill another Arab.” Our political and business (favored constituent) leaders are so smart, that they keep oil (freight fuel) prices down by avoiding conflict with Iran (the main source of enemy materiel and training).

You know what , get these people the f*ck out of my country . Yea yea yea there are some nice ones , whatever. Out I say get the hell out. They have ZERO in common with us no need for them to be here. I guess the nice ones will have to suffer with the rest but I have my own problems. Thats what they get for not reeling in their own. Only a stupid nation would be attacked by an enemy and then invite them in even larger after the attack.
So now this POS cousin is calling him a victim. Poor baby was harassed in the Army. Tough shit. Who cares?
He was a punk a wackoo and a piece of human garbage.
Hey , I have a GREAT idea. Let’s invite even MORE of them into the country ..

The religion of peace. Now there are 12 American soliders who are at peace (dead) because of Hasan.

The spin is that Obama will blame George Bush for driving this guy to go crazy! Hasan is a George Bush victim

To understand the nature of the Mosque and it’s Imam, Investigate to find out if the Mosque received any Funds from Saudi Arabia to teach Wahabbism.

Many Mosques do.

They are nurturing the Serpent in our Midst.

A moderate Muslim is a Muslim who ignores the Quran. I've known moderate-to-liberal Muslims before, and they drink, womanize, and don't care much about religion. You can call them MINOs (Muslims In Name Only). Turkey is full of them--witness the topless beaches and bars.

Anyone who follows the Quran is a radical because the Quran is radical and violent. It doesn't fit with a modern world, and my hope is that someday soon it's going to crack under this strain. I hope so as Europe is set to become majority Muslim in a few decades. Such an ugly religion.

What a shock (/SARC)

When I heard of the obscene murders/assaults at Ft. Hood...
and that the shooter was born of Jordanians...
statistically, I thought there was a good chance that this was at
least in spirit...a Palestinian.

From “imam’s” perspective he probably didn’t appear radical. I can just imagine what “imam” would call radical.

Khan seems to contradict the interview by Sheppard Smith at FOX NEWS about Malik Hasan.

My suggestion is for ALL to COPY the interview video and audio located at YouTube BEFORE it is scrubbed.

Better yet, why don’t we let them join the military so they don’t have to bother with security to attack us. They will already be on the inside.

By the time Atta and Shehhi returned to Virginia Beach from their travels in Georgia, Hazmi and Hanjour had also arrived in Virginia, in Falls Church. They made their way to a large mosque there, the Dar al Hijra mosque, sometime in early April.73

As we mentioned earlier, one of the imams at this mosque was the same Anwar Aulaqi with whom Hazmi had spent time at the Rabat mosque in San Diego. Aulaqi had moved to Virginia in January 2001. He remembers Hazmi from San Diego but has denied having any contact with Hazmi or Hanjour in Virginia.74

At the Dar al Hijra mosque, Hazmi and Hanjour met a Jordanian named Eyad al Rababah. Rababah says he had gone to the mosque to speak to the imam, Aulaqi, about finding work. At the conclusion of services, which normally had 400 to 500 attendees, Rababah says he happened to meet Hazmi and Hanjour. They were looking for an apartment; Rababah referred them to a friend who had one to rent. Hazmi and Hanjour moved into the apartment, which was in Alexandria.75

Dar Al Hijrah mosque linked to 9/11 hijackers - Imam is secretary general of Al Qaeda linked Muslim American Society
July 8, 2005

MIM: Dar Al Hijrah mosque was named as the most dangerous mosque in America by Paul Sperry in his book “Infiltration” and is located in what he calls DC’s ‘Wahhabi Corridor’.

Dar Al Hijrah has given aid and support to terrorists and is linked to the 9/11 hijackers. The congregation consists of many Muslims who are involved in politics major Muslim organisations and fundraising fronts in the Washington area. The founder of the Free Muslims Against Terrorism , Kamal Nawash, worshipped at Dar Al Hijrah and also solicited clients for his legal practice which was nearby.

Fort Hood suspect didn't seem radical

Maybe because the commands to kill infidels are in the Koran so killing infidels is not radical. An argument can be made that it is extreme because the great majority of Mohammedans do not participate in such activities, but it is not radical.

A “moderate” Mohammedan is less than Moslem. To be Moslem is to accept the Koran as the word of Allah. The Koran says kill infidels and emphasizes kill Jews. There is really no room in Islam for merely cultural Moslems such as there are unobservant “cultural” Catholics or Jews or even Protestants.

MARK STEYN: MULTICULTURAL ILLUSIONS KILL - NO STRATEGY TO DEFEND AGAINST IDEOLOGY
dakota beacon ^ | November 06, 2009 | Mark Steyn

Posted on Friday, November 06, 2009 9:36:18 AM by Mount Athos

Thirteen dead and 31 wounded would be a bad day for the US military in Afghanistan, and a great victory for the Taliban. When it happens in Texas, in the heart of the biggest military base in the nation, at a processing center for soldiers either returning from or deploying to combat overseas, it is not merely a “tragedy” (as too many people called it) but a glimpse of a potentially fatal flaw at the heart of what we have called, since 9/11, the “war on terror”. Brave soldiers trained to hunt down and kill America’s enemy abroad were killed in the safety and security of home by, in essence, the same enemy – a man who believes in and supports everything the enemy does.

And he’s a US Army major.

And his superior officers and other authorities knew about his beliefs but seemed to think it was just a bit of harmless multicultural diversity – as if believing that “the Muslims should stand up and fight against the aggressor” (ie, his fellow American soldiers) and writing Internet paeans to the “noble” “heroism” of suicide bombers and, indeed, objectively supporting the other side in an active war is to be regarded as just some kind of alternative lifestyle that adds to the general vibrancy of the base.

When it emerged early on Thursday afternoon that the shooter was Nidal Malik Hasan, there appeared shortly thereafter on Twitter a flurry of posts with the striking formulation: “Please judge Major Malik Nadal [sic] by his actions and not by his name.”

The above is an excerpt. Go to the link below for Mark’s complete oped.

The imam is a lying liar. I head audio last night of his comments. He said perp joined military post-9/11, because of 9/11. Perp joined BEFORE 9/11.

Everything else out of its filthy mouth is a lie also.
