Major Hasan Dined with 'Jihad Hobbyist' (Terrorists hook up on the internet)
ABC News ^ | Nov. 17, 2009 | By MARK SCHONE, JOSEPH RHEE, MARY-ROSE ABRAHAM, and ANNA SCHECTER

Ever since he told a British reporter that he felt "no pity" for the victims of the Fort Hood massacre, Duane Reasoner Jr., an 18-year-old Muslim convert who frequently dined with accused shooter Major Nidal Malik Hasan and attended the same mosque, has ducked the media.

...

According to terrorism expert Jarret Brachman, Reasoner appears to be a classic example of a "jihad hobbyist," one of a group of young, online obsessives who radicalize themselves by ingesting hardcore jihadist Web content, from YouTube videos to discussion forums.

YouTube plays a role in educating young terrorists wannabes.

Kind of a vague definition. It could apply to anyone under the age of 40 who watches MSNBC.

This guy has a pass to get onto Ft. Hood. I really think we are trying to commit suicide as a nation. Unbelievable.

The media should be all over every little detail of this loser, but I won’t hold my breath.

Hasan is a Moslem. Two things must happen:

1. American Moslems Leaders must denounce his treasonous acts.

2. Any and every negligent US Government Official who dismissed his threat must be held LEGALLY Accountable.

People get what they want on You Tube. We get to see lots of conservative or even truthful videos we couldn’t see elsewhere; jihadis get to see jihadi stuff.

This guy was a “seeker.” They are often sort of wimpy nerds or social losers, and Islam, with its message of “violence is all,” makes them feel powerful.

Anybody can destroy, after all. Islam is just institutionalized Columbine.

“Hobbyist”? “Kids”? I hate how they try to soften the blow of this evil.

This is Duane, the hobbyist’s YouTube website.
One of them anyway.
http://www.youtube.com/user/ooklepookle

This fella is an account that Duane, the hobbyist, subscribed to.
http://www.youtube.com/user/sahab929
Funny, he disappeared just this morning.

He has at least three additional YouTube accounts -
http://www.youtube.com/user/sahab911
http://www.youtube.com/user/sahab912
http://www.youtube.com/user/sahab913

Between just these three we have removed 45 very, very, violent videos and still YouTube refuses to suspend him per their own 3-strikes rules.
His trash endures, the hobbyists subscribe - home made jihadis here we come!

Thank you YouTube for all you do for our military, our allies.
Not!
