Why do we have to read British papers to get Ft. Hood jihadist news?!

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 8, 2009 01:38 AM

The London Telegraph has the bombshell report on Ft. Hood jihadist Nidal Hassan’s ties to the September 11 terrorists.

Read and re-read here for the full investigative piece.

Allahpundit has a full round-up and commentary on the Telegraph’s revelations here.

Question: Why is it that we have to read British papers to get the unvarnished truths about the Ft. Hood Muslim mass murderer?

***

Asra Nomani reports on “Hasan’s hidden militancy.” Well, it wasn’t that hidden:

The alleged Fort Hood gunman had revealed a hard-line Islamist streak to acquaintances in the Muslim Community Center that he made his mosque. The Daily Beast’s Asra Q. Nomani reports.

Not long ago, inside the quiet library of the Muslim Community Center here in Silver Spring, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C., Golam Akhter, a local Bangladeshi-American civil engineer, 67, got into a fierce debate with a young Muslim doctor over how to interpret the concept of “jihad” within Islam. Akhter argued, “Jihad means an inner struggle, fighting against corruption and injustice.”

The young doctor responded. “That’s not a correct interpretation. Jihad means holy war. When your religion isn’t safe, you have to fight for it. If someone attacks you, you must fight them. That is jihad. You can kill someone who is harming you.”

Doug Giles says “We need an ask and tell policy for jihadists in the military.”

Yes, yes we do.

    Fox News article:

    Shooting Suspect Frequented Strip Club

    The article tries to diminish his Muslim ties, but my take is that he was passing judgment based on the lives of a few strippers. The following conversation took place on Oct 29th or 30th according to Fox News contributor Jana Winter.

    “He asked us why we were working at the strip club, if we liked the lifestyle, if we had any kids,” she said. “It was right before Halloween so he asked what our kids were dressing up as. He just wanted to know a lot about us.”

    Political Correctness Kills

    I join Joesph Lieberman’s call for a full independent investigation to see if “signals were missed”, that would have outed this criminal as a jihadist, a terrorist no different than any other. Of course anybody with an IQ over 7 knows that they weren’t missed; they were deliberately ignored because we wouldn’t want to insult Muslims by throwing one of their own out of the military, would we???? Will the blood of those innocent and brave soldiers and civilians at Fort Hood somehow be a tipping point of restoring some kind of sanity to this Country? I pray this is so.

    This is just stupid. Atta and his buddies frequented strip clubs and bars before 9/11. There is nothing that prevents a “pious” Muslim from cavorting with infidel women…

    Hasan’s presence at the club paints a starkly different portrait of the alleged killer from that offered by his imam and family members, who have described him as a devout Muslim, and one who had difficulty finding a wife who would wear a head scarf and would pray five times a day.

    With the dismissal of the obvious, in order to protect the hate against this country, will come the enlightenment of many Americans in regards to the true intentions of our current leadership and the myriad of past laws that have been designed to silence the truth of all things good and replace it with the folly of deception designed to destroy that which makes this country great.

    We are aware though, and each attempt awakens more to speak out. I have great hope (which can not be described as Audacity!), that we will recover and be the strong light in the world again. Possibly brighter than before.

    It won’t be long before they won’t be able to cover this up. Hasan should have been dealt with years ago and more than one person prevented it.

    I completely agree.

    Regardless of the reason (religion, culture, mental instability etc), many people will have to answer as to why someone advocating for the enemy was allowed to stay in the ranks of our military. This is completely inexcusable.

    I would like for some of his “patients” to come forward with any information regarding his advocacy during their sessions. I would wager that some left their appointments more than just a little confused, but passed it off as “the Doc knows best”.

    This was a suicide bombing without the vest. He went to the place he knew would cause the most destruction and “set himself off” just like any other suicide bomber would have done in Iraq, Afghanistan or Pakistan. Only the Army medics saved his sorry a$$ and he is still alive.
    An infantry sergeant at Fort Hood told The Times that Major Hasan had been well know for having an “agenda” as he counseled soldiers returning from action. He added: “Put whatever politically correct whitewash on this you like, but there is no escaping this was a Muslim terrorist attack on US soil.”

    “What happened at Fort Hood was a tragedy, but I believe it would be an even-greater tragedy if our diversity becomes a casualty here.”
    – Gen. Casey

    Spoken like a true liberal. To them, preserving the environment is more important than saving human lives. Stopping global warming is more important than saving lives. Banning DDT, oil drilling, and nuclear energy is more important than saving lives.

    To liberals, the ideology of Marx, Mao, Stalin, and Che are more important than the millions of lives their ideology destroyed. Even casual, uninhibited sex is more important to them than the lives of their own unborn children. And now, I guess, allowing mass-murdering jihadis to serve in the military under the excuse that it’s necessary to preserve “diversity” is more important than saving lives.

    Maybe we should make an effort to recruit enemy spies to make our military even more diverse. If those in command really believe that such an arbitrary ideal, like diversity, is more important than the lives of the soldiers who serve under them, heaven help us all.

    Papa Louie,

    To them, we are the problem. There is a growing sentiment among these leftist lunatics that population must not only be controlled but decreased. How they decrease it, or “eliminate the surplus population” is not something they really want to discuss. But you can bet they don’t lean toward a democratically decided manner.

    These morons have been preaching “Malthusian” theories since I was a kid and the fact that they have always been wrong doesn’t deter them in the least. They are after wealth and power and they don’t care what it takes (from us) to achieve their goals.

    From the news: “Janet Napolitano says her agency is working with groups across the United States to try to deflect any backlash against American Muslims following Thursday’s rampage by Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.”
    Me thinks these groups need to be working with their followers to deflect radical actions.

    How may more Americans will be sacrificed in the name of diversity and political correctness?

    We will ALL be doomed as long as liberals are allowed to run the show.

    Yup, keep having little old ladies remove their shoes at airports….. but don’t bother thoroughly investigating muslims in the military. Yeah that’s profiling and yeah there’s nothing wrong with do it. It’s called investigative work.

    Question: Why is it that we have to read British papers to get the unvarnished truths about the Ft. Hood Muslim mass murderer?

    Ans: Because liberals are afraid to offend muslims for fear that these same muslims will kill them for speaking out. It could also be that the lib media approves of attacks such as these as part of their “Hate America First” point of view.

    Are you serious??? Now Facebook is “PC”?? Or can just anyone decide that something is unacceptable and have the warning put on?? This is starting to really scare me. Freedom of speech is slowly being eroded by this kind of nonsense. I wonder if you get that same message if posting a disgusting, nasty link to someone like Sandra Bernhardt talking about Sarah Palin. It would be interesting to find out.

    If the US media reported the truth, they would also – by default – be admitting that 9/11 was not a Boooooosh conspiracy. Leave it to the British to find the truth!

    The Brits have a much bigger problem with Islam than the USA. On a daily basis, they are confronted with large number of terror conspiracies and plots to commit violence. They are also confronted with the growing presence of the Islamic religion which is directly countering the Christian heritage of the UK. Ultimately, the UK will succumb to Islam because they refuse to fight it openly for fear of further violence.

    Appeasement is the way of the liberal left and, in the end, it leads to far greater violence. All you have to do is look at WW-II to see how liberalism led to destruction.

    To the families at Ft. Hood…take a stand and tell dear leader to stay home…take care of your own…shout outs to his buddies are seemingly more important than your loved ones!!! This will be nothing more than another photo op for him and his ego….

    As a former military member with a father-in-law who served in the Army our prayers are with you and your families….

    Hey, DHS! Put me on your list of haters.

    I hate the anti-American policy of diversity. I hate the religion of peace. I will hate whomever I choose, and I hate muslims. I fervently hope that there will be a backlash against muslims after the massacre at Fort Hood by the jihadist Hasam.

    Come and get me.
