Update, November 9: First of all, the body count should be updated to fourteen, as a pregnant woman was killed, and her baby died with her.
Second, we now have confirmation that Major Nidal Hasan was attempting to contact the terrorist organization al-Qaeda. Just in case anyone was still wondering whether this guy was a terrorist.
Ft. Hood, Texas: a Muslim terrorist murdered 13 and wounded 31 unarmed soldiers today.
The moment I heard about this attack, I said to the group I was with, “You watch: the killers are going to be Muslims, and we’re going to be assured they aren’t terrorists.” And other than the fact that I thought there was more than one shooter, I was pretty much right as rain.
We find out that the guy had his “Islam” issues”:
At least six months ago, Hasan came to the attention of law enforcement officials because of Internet postings about suicide bombings and other threats, including posts that equated suicide bombers to soldiers who throw themselves on a grenade to save the lives of their comrades.
They had not determined for certain whether Hasan is the author of the posting, and a formal investigation had not been opened before the shooting, said law enforcement officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the case.
One of the officials said late Thursday that federal search warrants were being drawn up to authorize the seizure of Hasan’s computer.
Retired Army Col. Terry Lee, who said he worked with Hasan, told Fox News that Hasan had hoped President Barack Obama would pull troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq. Lee said Hasan got into frequent arguments with others in the military who supported the wars, and had tried hard to prevent his pending deployment.
Hasan attended prayers regularly when he lived outside Washington, often in his Army uniform, said Faizul Khan, a former imam at a mosque Hasan attended in Silver Spring, Md. He said Hasan was a lifelong Muslim.
There is video of Hasan earlier in the day wearing Muslim dress.
Hasan was “hoping” for Obama’s “change,” and apparently couldn’t wait for Obama to deliver on all the appeasement and surrender-to-terrorists promises that he’d made.
Let me that, since Hasan did not see the difference between a suicide bomber and a soldier throwing himself on a grenade, I wish he’d just decided to throw himself on a grenade, instead.
I’m guessing he COULD tell the difference, after all.
We also find out from Hasan’s co-workers that Hasan loudly said that the “Muslims should stand up and fight against the aggressor.” They initially assumed he meant that Muslims should stand up and fight the terrorists like al-Qaeda. But he made it clear to them that he meant Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan should turn against their American allies and join the terrorists.
Hasan was objectively against the United States. Both vocally and in writing, he expressed Jihadist statements. He obtained weapons and murdered as many unarmed soldiers as he could. He is a terrorist.
If that isn’t enough, there’s this from the Los Angeles Times:
A witness has told investigators that the Army major who allegedly opened fire on his fellow soldiers at Ft. Hood Army Base Thursday shouted “Allahu Akbar” — Arabic for “God is Great” and the rallying cry of suicide bombers around the world — before unleashing his bloody assault that left 13 dead and 30 others wounded.
In a briefing with reporters this morning at the base, Col. John Rossi said, “We do have a witness who reported that.”
And this morning on NBC’s “Today” show, Lester Holt aired tape of the father of a soldier who said that his daughter told him the same thing.
For what it’s worth, experts in Arabic say that “Allah Akbar” doesn’t actually mean, “God is great.” It really means, “Allah is GREATER.”
The Qur’an says: “Fight and slay the pagans [Christians] wherever ye find them and seize them, confine them, and lie in wait for them in every place of ambush” (Surah 9:5).
That’s worthy of mention, given the fact that Hasan was seen handing out Korans just prior to his lethal terrorist attack.
But don’t worry, people. Nothing to see here. Obama officials have scurried to assure everyone that this wasn’t a terrorist attack.
Right.
Let me tell you that one of the key ingredients of psychosis is maintaining false and fixed beliefs. And by that standard, the Obama White House and the mainstream media are nearly as psycho as Major Hasan.
This in actual fact amounts to the second successful terrorist attack against the United States by a Muslim extremist. Here’s a link to the first, which occurred in June. We’re told:
Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, 23, also known as Carlos Bledsoe, is charged with capital murder and 16 counts of terroristic acts.
According to the police reports, Muhammad admitted to shooting the victims, and then revealed how and why.
He told police that he put three weapons, including an assault rifle, into his SUV and then drove around until he saw the Recruiting Station and the two soldiers smoking outside the building.
He then pulled into the parking lot in front of the station, stopped his vehicle, and began shooting at the soldiers standing outside, firing several rounds from an SKS assault rifle with the intent of killing them. Muhammad also told officers that he would have killed more soldiers if they had been on the parking lot. Muhammad also told police he was a practicing Muslim, and that he was mad at the U.S. military because of what they had done to Muslims in the past.
That’s one more attack than President Bush suffered throughout his entire eight year presidency, you should know.
Of course, Bush learned his lesson, and then he taught the terrorists their lesson. Bush was surprised, and had to build a system to protect the nation from scratch. He created plenty of safeguards to defend the country from the next terrorist attack and got them up and running. But those days are long gone, as Obama knocked down most of those safeguards like lined-up dominoes.
We’ve had a whole mess of attempted terrorist attacks that were broken up between the two successful ones (see here and then here for others).
It seems that the doctrine that Obama’s sheer wonderfulness will stop Muslims from wanting to kill us has a few problems.
Weakness is provacative to jihadists. And Obama is so, so very weak.
In fact he’s a lot WORSE than weak, given his “response” to the murder of a dozen soldiers. Can you believe giving a “shout out” to supporters at an event AFTER he knew about the steadily increasing body count? What’s sad is, I can.
Now we are desperately trying to release our Gitmo detainees knowing full well that many of them will return to their terrorist activities to fight and kill American soldiers again. After all, Obama said he’d free these people. And it’s about time he kept at least one promise in his life, I suppose.
And as we ponder the horrendous murder of our unarmed soldiers at the hands of a psychiatrist-turned terrorist (remember the medical doctors in the U.K. who unleashed a terror attack?), we have to realize: our president actually tried to release terrorists suspects detained at Gitmo to the United States. The more the merrier, I suppose.
Obama ended “the war on terror” by redefining it as an “overseas contingency operation.” No matter, the terrorists are very much on a very different page than Obama.

Moral Fool And Moral Weakling: Obama Weighs In On Ground Zero Mosque Before Wavering
August 16, 2010As usual, Barry Hussein has talked himself into a pretzel. And the twisted shape suits him. It appears to go off in every direction, but leads nowhere.
In this case, Obama was for that mosque before he was against it.
He doesn’t support it (or at least he doesn’t not support it???):
Before he did support it.
From ABC News:
Obama thinks that everyone in the country is some kind of moron. And he can say one thing, and then say another thing, and only he can tell the difference.
From the Associated Press:
Democrats have been moral idiots for the last forty years. And Barack Obama has stomped his foot all the way down to the floorboard toward moral idiocy.
I watch Fox News regularly. I hear what the Republicans and the conservatives have been saying. I’ve heard what Sarah Palin has said and what Newt Gingrich has said.
None of them are saying that the Muslims who want to build this “community outreach center” don’t have the legal right to build it. What they are saying is that the Muslims shouldn’t build it if they actually want any genuine community “outreach.”
It isn’t “outreach.” It’s “outrage.”
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf claims that this “community center” “will serve as the platform to launch a broader vision of Muslim-West harmony and interdependence.” That clearly isn’t anywhere even remotely true.
This isn’t about freedom of religion, and it isn’t about the Constitution. It’s about right and wrong.
Let me give you an example of what I’m saying. In this country, I have every right to go into a black establishment and repeatedly shout the N-word at the top of my lungs. I have the right to go into a black church wearing a white robe and a white pointy hat. But I shouldn’t do it. And all rights aside, I’m profoundly wrong if I do do it.
On the Democrats’ morally idiotic defense of the mosque, the fact that the Muslims have a right to build it means therefore ergo sum that they should build it, and that anyone who disagrees is “intolerant” or is violating the Constitutional rights of the Muslims.
But that is every bit as stupid as my walking down the street pointing out every single black person and shouting the N-word, and then telling anyone who criticizes me for doing it that they are enemies of the Constitution.
And, of course, the only reason I’m wearing that white robe and that pointy hat is for “community outreach.” You see, I want to create a “racial dialogue.”
So how DARE you criticize me. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll put my pointy hood back on and be on my way. I have some black people to go shout at.
And yet Democrats who argue that I should have no right to criticize the inappropriateness of building a mosque celebrating a religion immediately adjacent to a site that was destroyed with huge loss of life in the name of that decision refuse to extend that same principle to their fellow citizens as they repeatedly demonized Tea Party people who were merely exercising their Constitutional rights.
Now, I don’t have to explain this to people who have moral common sense. But if I actually want to create a community, or to create a racial dialogue, I don’t set up a gigantic act of offense to the very people I claim to be reaching out to. There’s something profoundly wrong with this picture.
And building what is essentially a mosque (or are they going to build a synagogue and a church in this “community center” so that Jews and Christians cans worship there, too?) clearly incites rather than heals.
Maybe, instead of building a mosque as close as possible to Ground Zero, this “outreach” could focus on building a synagogue as close as possible to Mecca, instead.
The Reuters article points out that:
Seventy percent of Americans don’t feel any “community” from this community center. They feel outraged.
Which is why the next paragraphs that follow that demonstration that the American people are opposed to the construction of this “community center” are true:
The American people understand the difference between the fact that the Muslims who own the property have a right to build, and the fact that it is an outrage for Muslims to build a mosque near the site where a group of Muslims acting in the name of Islam and shouting “Allahu Akbar!” murdered 3,000 innocent Americans in a cowardly attack.
This “outreach center” should not be built near Ground Zero. Build it somewhere else. The American people have been very tolerant regarding the building of more than 3,000 mosques in the United States. The fact that radical Muslim – and their useful idiot liberal apologists – are now arguing that they have the right to build a mosque so close to a scene of Islamic jihadist massacre is a profound demonstration of which side is intolerant. Especially since Islamic countries refuse to allow Christians to build a single church in their countries, let alone 3,000 of them.
And there are questions. So many questions. Who is paying for this “community center”? Can we know for certain that this center is not being funded with radical Islamist money for radical Islamist purposes? No. We don’t get to know.
And what about the man – Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf – who is behind this center? Is the man who refused to even acknowledge that Hamas is a terrorist organization someone we want behind such a huge venture? Do we want the man who said that American policies were an ‘accessory’ to the crime of 9/11, and who said “Osama bin Laden is made in the USA,” to be the American face of Islam as a result of this center?
Particularly when we find that this man says one thing to Americans audiences, and quite a different thing to Islamic audiences?
“Cordoba” refers to the Muslim conquest of Spain. And how is naming this “the Cordoba Initiative” and “the Cordoba House” anything other than Islamic triumphalism, in celebration of the successful 9/11 attack? Add to that the historic Muslim tradition of building a mosque on top of every place of victory (i.e., 9/11 as a victory for Islam and a defeat for Christendom), and we’ve got a problem.
Do we want an Imam to represent Muslims in America who favors Shariah Law? Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf DOES support Shariah Law in America.
Do you want to see the face of Sharia Law? Here it is:
And no decent American wants that evil taking root here.
So does Obama do? Other than twist himself into a pretzel in endorsing the mosque that he doesn’t endorse? He foots the bill to make this extremely questionable imam his emissary representing the interests of the American people. When this man represents the exact opposite of American interests.
There are good Muslim leaders out there. Faisal Abdul Rauf is not one of them.
Barack Obama is a fool. And nearly 70% of the American people understand that as regards to this issue. Obama is as fundamentally twisted about this issue as he was about Gitmo when he demonized it and idiotically promised he would close it no later than January 2010. He is a moral idiot and a moral weakling. He is a disgrace to this country. And until he day he is gone, we are living in “God damn America.”
Even Harry Reid is breaking with Obama and publicly stating that this mosque is a terrible idea. That should tell you something.
