Flash Tizzle Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 05:58 PM) why couldnt his name of been John Smith On Fox News a former employee has said "Hassan made comments that Muslims should rise up against their aggresors in Iraq." It's terrorism, regardless of his connection to some group. Jesus, you'll all love this. He had become more agitated with the government because he felt following Obama's election the president would remove troops from Iraq/Afghanistan, and he didn't follow up on that.

Waiting to see the rest of the story unfold, of course. Certainly, this will be bad for mainstream Muslims if it does turn out this was prompted by religious extremism. And of course it will be a poor reflection on mainstream Christianity when fundies jump in and condemn an entire world religion because of the actions of a few extremists. And the cycle continues.

HuskyCaucasian Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 And the crazies begin.... Conservative Says Hasan Acted On Orders Of Muslim Brotherhood Author Dave Gaubatz- Malik Nabal Hasan is a terrorist supporting the ideology of Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, and yes, CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations). In Palestine, the leaders send out the young and vulnerable to carry out the murders in the name of Islam. The same is happening in America.

RockRaines Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 11:19 AM) And the crazies begin.... Conservative Says Hasan Acted On Orders Of Muslim Brotherhood Well on the news today they said that the army was aware of him posting on extremist message boards about suicide bombers being heroes. It really might not be that far off. And BTW, this guy was someone who counseled PTSD cases from Iraq when they got back. Why in the f*** would the army assign a guy who looks like the enemy to work with soldiers who are suffering from trauma from being shot at by people that look like him? It seems like a stupid move.
