Jihad at Fort Hood

Major Nidal Malik Hasan, a U.S. Army psychiatrist, murdered twelve people
and wounded twenty-one inside Fort Hood in Texas yesterday, while, according
to eyewitnesses, "shouting something in Arabic while he was shooting."
Investigators are scratching their heads and expressing puzzlement about why
he did it. According to NPR [1], "the motive behind the shootings was not
immediately clear, officials said." The Washington Post [2] agreed: "The
motive remains unclear, although some sources reported the suspect is
opposed to U.S. involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq and upset about an
imminent deployment." The Huffington Post spun faster, asserting that "there
is no concrete reporting as to whether Nidal Malik Hasan was in fact a
Muslim or an Arab."
Yet there was, and what's more, Major Hasan's motive was perfectly clear -
but it was one that the forces of political correctness and the Islamic
advocacy groups in the United States have been working for years to obscure.
So it is that now that another major jihad terror attack has taken place on
American soil, authorities and the mainstream media are at a loss to explain
why it happened - and the abundant evidence that it was a jihad attack is
ignored.
Nidal Malik Hasan was born in Virginia but didn't think of himself as an
American: on a form he filled out at the Muslim Community Center in Silver
Spring, Maryland, he gave his nationality not as "American" but as
"Palestinian." A mosque official found that curious, saying: "I don't know
why he listed Palestinian. He was not born in Palestine."
Center. He is a graduate of Virginia Tech and has a doctorate in psychiatry
from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. While there,
NPR reports, Hasan was "put on probation early in his postgraduate work" and
was "disciplined for proselytizing about his Muslim faith with patients and
colleagues."
He was a staff psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center for six years
before transferring to Fort Hood earlier this year. While at Walter Reed, he
was a "very devout" member of and daily visitor to the Muslim Community
Center in Silver Spring. Faizul Khan, a former imam at the Center, expressed
puzzlement over Hasan's murders: "To know something like this happened, I
don't know what got into his mind. There was nothing extremist in his
questions. He never showed any frustration..He never showed any remorse or
wish for vengeance on anybody."
So he identified himself as Palestinian and was a devout Muslim - so what?
These things, of course, have no significance if one assumes that Islam is a
Religion of Peace and that when a devout Muslim reads the Koran's many
injunctions to wage war against unbelievers, he knows that they have no
force or applicability for today's world. Unfortunately, all too many
Muslims around the world demonstrate in both their words and their deeds
that they take such injunctions quite seriously. And Nidal Hasan gave some
indications that he may have been among them.
On May 20, 2009, a man giving his name as "NidalHasan" posted this defense
of suicide bombing [3] (all spelling and grammar as it is in the original):
There was a grenade thrown amongs a group of American soldiers. One of the
soldiers, feeling that it was to late for everyone to flee jumped on the
grave with the intention of saving his comrades. Indeed he saved them. He
inentionally took his life (suicide) for a noble cause i.e. saving the lives
of his soldier. To say that this soldier committed suicide is inappropriate.
Its more appropriate to say he is a brave hero that sacrificed his life for
a more noble cause. Scholars have paralled this to suicide bombers whose
intention, by sacrificing their lives, is to help save Muslims by killing
enemy soldiers. If one suicide bomber can kill 100 enemy soldiers because
they were caught off guard that would be considered a strategic victory.
Their intention is not to die because of some despair. The same can be said
for the Kamikazees in Japan. They died (via crashing their planes into
ships) to kill the enemies for the homeland. You can call them crazy i you
want but their act was not one of suicide that is despised by Islam. So the
scholars main point is that "IT SEEMS AS THOUGH YOUR INTENTION IS THE MAIN
ISSUE" and Allah (SWT) knows best.
Of course, it may not be the same Nidal Hasan. But there is more. One of his
former colleagues, Col. Terry Lee, recalled Hasan saying statements to the
effect of "Muslims have the right to rise up against the U.S. military";
"Muslims have a right to stand up against the aggressors"; and even speaking
favorably about people who "strap bombs on themselves and go into Times
Square."
Maybe he just snapped, perhaps under the pressure of his imminent deployment
to Iraq. But it's noteworthy that if he did, he snapped in exactly the same
way that several other Muslims in the U.S. military have snapped in the
past. In April 2005, a Muslim serving in the U.S. Army, Hasan Akbar, was
convicted of murder for killing two American soldiers and wounding fourteen
in a grenade attack in Kuwait. AP reported: "Prosecutors say Akbar told
investigators he launched the attack because he was concerned U.S. troops
would kill fellow Muslims in Iraq. They said he coolly carried out the
attack to achieve 'maximum carnage' on his comrades in the 101st Airborne
Division."
And Hasan's murderous rampage resembles one that five Muslim men in New
Jersey tried to carry out at Fort Dix in New Jersey in 2007, when they
plotted to enter the U.S. Army base and murder as many soldiers as they
could.
That was a jihad plot. One of the plotters, Serdar Tatar, told an FBI
informant late in 2006: "I'm gonna do it..It doesn't matter to me, whether I
get locked up, arrested, or get taken away, it doesn't matter. Or I die,
doesn't matter, I'm doing it in the name of Allah." Another plotter, Mohamad
Shnewer, was caught on tape saying, "They are the ones, we are going to put
bullets in their heads, Allah willing."
Nidal Hasan's statements about Muslims rising up against the U.S. military
aren't too far from that, albeit less graphic. The effect of ignoring or
downplaying the role that Islamic beliefs and assumptions may have played in
his murders only ensures that - once again - nothing will be done to prevent
the eventual advent of the next Nidal Hasan. [4]

Is what Maj Nidal Malik Hasan did any different to what George
Washington did in 1775
George Washington opened fire on American born soldiers MANY times
Maj Nidal Malik Hasan, a US-born citizen, opened fire at Fort Hood on
Thursday, killing 13 people. George Washington killed many thousands ,
and stole much of their land and wealth
Some claim the shooting was the most devastating ever committed on
military personnel on the Mainland of the US , yank soldiers are
always attacking each other , the winner always gets to pretend they
are HEROES
USA soldiers have killed over 600,000 other soldiers in one single
war , probably millions if all wars are counted
Casualties and losses in civil war
110,000 killed in action
360,000 total dead
275,200 wounded 93,000 killed in action
260,000 total dead
137,000+ wounded
Is what Maj Nidal Malik Hasan did any different to what happened in
1775 when George Washington attacked the SOLDIERS of the then
GOVERNMENT because he did not agree with paying 2 cents tax on a
pound for tea
More than 300,000 people are buried in an area of 624 acres (2.53
km2). Veterans and military casualties from every one of the nation's
wars are interred in the cemetery ,
TWICE that number were killed by other USA soldiers ON AMERICAN SOIL
in the Civil War
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War
The Fort Hood attack began at about 1330 (1930 GMT) on Thursday at a
personnel and medical centre at Fort Hood - the largest US military
base in the world, home to about 40,000 troops.
George Washington LED many attacks on the SOLDIERS of the then
Government , because he WON that makes his actions HEROIC , had he
lost or been captured he would hang as a traitor who killed tens of
thousands of his fellow native born countrymen
viewable at: http://docs.google.com/View?id=dcgk9t7p_184d9tk9phg
Most of the people George Washington killed were American born
citizens , not born in some over seas country , Washington attacked
his OWN country's soldiers and killed thousands because e did not like
the way his country was being run , he chose to kill the Governments
soldiers , instead of using politics to achieve change like in
australia and NZ
Major Hassan simply followed George Washington role model and advice ,
seems its the American way , not the ISLAMIC way after all
The American Revolution, whereby some colonists rejected the
legitimacy of the Parliament to govern them without fair and just
representation, claiming that this violated their Rights and it was
their LAWFUL right to use guns to rectify the problems they
perceived , by shooting the government soldiers and those who
supported them
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Revolutionary_War
in 1776 by formally declaring new LAWS applied , and inventing a new
country they named the United States of America — claiming
sovereignty and rejecting on the existing LAWS. France had been
providing supplies, ammunition and weapons to the rebels beginning in
1776, the Continentals' capture of army weapons in 1777 led France
to formally enter the war on the side of the self proclaimed "United
States" in early 1778, which evened the military strength with
existing government forces.
George Washington went from a criminal who broke every law in the book
and killed THOUSANDS of his fellow countrymen , emerged as a HERO and
a role model that Major Hassan seems to have followed
Spain and the Dutch Republic – French allies – also went to war
against Britain over the next two years.
like all dictators Washington had HIS pictures put on the money and
statues erected all over the Country and anybody who rejected his
overthrow was DRIVEN from he land
50,000 refugees were FORCED to flee for their lives , MANY ended up
moving to other countries including Australia to ESCAPE the madmen who
choose violence to FORCE their point of view
In areas under Washington's control— that is most of the country —
People who chose to OBEY the existing LAWS were labeled " Loyalists
" were subject to confiscation of property. Outspoken critics of
Washington were threatened killed and Forced to flee for their lives
50,000 REFUGEES spread out all over the world in the following decades
fleeing warlord Washington and often foreign mercenaries and his
gunmen and dictatorship , others remained undercover and strive to
return the rule of LAW against the warlords who enriched themselves
endlessly stealing ever more land from their neighbors and native
peoples and selling it to fund their warlords way of life right up
until TODAY
Sane men know where this gun happy madness eventually ends up ,
endless violence rules until the entire Empire implodes in on itself
Nothing can save the USA from eventual self immolation , he who lives
by the sword dies by the sword , While George Washington remains a
role model the USA is doomed
Those Loyalists who have adhered to the Unity of the Empire, and
joined the Royal Standard before the Treaty of Separation in the year
1783, and all their Children and their Descendants by either sex, are
to be distinguished by the following Capitals, affixed to their names:
U.E. Alluding to their great principle The Unity of the Empire.
The postnominals "U.E." are rarely seen today, but the influence of
the Loyalists on the evolution of Canada remains. Their ties to
Britain and their antipathy to the United States provided the strength
needed to keep Canada independent and distinct in North America. The
Loyalists' basic distrust of republicanism and "mob rule" influenced
Canada's gradual path to independence. The new British North American
provinces of Upper Canada (the forerunner of Ontario) and New
Brunswick were founded as places of refuge for the United Empire
Loyalists.
The wealthiest and most prominent Loyalist exiles went to Great
Britain to rebuild their careers; many received pensions. Many
Southern Loyalists, taking along their slaves, went to the West Indies
and the Bahamas, particularly to the Abaco Islands.
Many Loyalists brought their slaves with them to Canada (mostly to
areas that later became Ontario and New Brunswick) where slavery was
legal. An imperial law in 1790 assured prospective immigrants to
Canada that their slaves would remain their property.[21]
Thousands of Iroquois and other Native Americans were expelled from
New York and other states and resettled in Canada. The descendants of
one such group of Iroquois, led by Joseph Brant Thayendenegea, settled
at Six Nations of the Grand River, the largest First Nations reserve
in Canada. A group of African-American Loyalists settled in Nova
Scotia but emigrated again for Sierra Leone after facing
discrimination there.
Benjamin Thompson (Count Rumford) was a loyalist who fled to London
when the war began. He became a scientist noted for pioneering
thermodynamics and for his research on artillery ordnance. He
expressed a desire to return to the United States in 1799 and was
eagerly sought by the Americans (who needed help in fighting the Quasi-
War with France). Rumford eventually decided to stay in London because
he was engrossed with establishing the Royal Institution in England.
[22]
Many of the Loyalists were forced to abandon substantial amounts of
property

USA because we cannot be sure wha they are saying.
