Major Hasan's Power Point & Lesson on Islam

This was the 2007 Power Point presentation that should have been a BIG RED FLAG that Major Hasan was influenced by Islamic extremism. The Washington Post published here the 50 pages entitled: "The Koranic World View as it Relates to Muslims in the Military."

There is basic overview for 10 pages or so and then on page 11, after defining the Fatwas as "...rulings/legal opinions from (a)Islamic leaders/scholars" Hasan says this:

"It's getting harder and harder for Muslims in the service to morally justify being in a military that seems constantly engaged against fellow Muslims."

This is a bigger flag than those Army doctors ever realized. Hasan is announcing that Islam Law "trumps" the Constitution and there's an internal struggle as a Muslim to fight a war against extremists.

Hasan quotes the Koran (page 12):

4.93 And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his punishment is hell; he shall abide in it, and Allah will send His wrath on him and curse him and prepare for him a painful chastisement.

17.33 And do not kill any one whom Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause...


This is NOT an isolated individual living in the ruins of tribal Afghanistan, this is an American - a Major in our Army. I wish I could have been in the room to ask if he thought the terrorist perceived him as a hypocrite, infidel and wanted to harm him?

Of course they do.


On page 15 he jabs as this concept: "Don't judge their loyalty to US God vs. Country"

Again, I'd raise my hand.

Should Muslims in the military, in his opinion, only be in non-combat roles? Since, as Major Hasaon cited in "adverse effects" on page 13 (Muslims in military abandoning posts), there could be a problem after deployment and that's unpredictable, how does the military respect this "religious dictate" and engage Islamic extremists?

The study of the Koran and Islam begins with page 16 and ends on slide 34 with this verse from the Koran:

41:29 And those who disbelieve will say: Our Lord! show us those who led us astray from among the jinn and the men that we may trample them under our feet so that they become the lowest

Hasan quotes peaceful and defensive verses from the Koran, but this is a VERY VERY detailed religious analysis.

2.190 And fight in the way of Allah with those who fight with you, and do not exceed the limits, surely Allah does not love those who exceed the limits.

HE OMITS THIS VERSE FROM SLIDE 41

2.191 And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers.

BUT RETURNS TO THIS ON THAT SAME SLIDE (41)

2.192 But if they desist, then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

I find that omission really REALLY telling of Major Hasan's interpretation and communication of Muslims and the extremist enemies.


Muslim 1:53
"I have been commanded to fight the people until they testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, establish the prayer and pay the Zakah (poor-tax -- my addition BBJ))."

Koran 9:29

"FIGHT THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN ALLAH, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, NOR FOLLOW THE RELIGION OF TRUTH, OUT OF THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE BOOK [Christians and Jews], until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and THEY ARE IN A STATE OF SUBJECTION"

(my emphasis)


From Hasan's 48th slide: "We love death more than you love life!"

HAND RAISE!

Wow. I don't know the context of this slide presentation, this slide in particular, but at this point how do you not ask yourself where this guy is coming from?

Slide 49:

"Fighting to establish an Islamic State to please God, even by force, is condoned by the Islam."

"Muslims Soliders should not serve in any capacity that renders them at risk to hurting/killing believers unjustly ---will vary!"

UNJUSTLY!

In the last slide presents that these Muslim soldiers should have the option of being released as "Conscientious objectors" -- I thought they could.

As I understand the rule, the objector has to present his beliefs up front, not later on pending danger. It's possible Hasan's new found religious inspirations changed his perspective. I understand that you can request and serve in a non-combatant role.

Major Hasan's Muslim faith drifted further and further towards extremism leading to his efforts praise Islamic Law over the Constitution and his oath to the Army. Seeking out Muslim clerics in Yemen indicates that his conversative view of Islam was becoming dangerous as he considered his role fighting other Muslims -- versus killing infedels.

Political Correctness to Blame for Terrorist shooting at Ft. Hood

"Allah Ackbar" and a 100 rounds later -- the worst shooting on a US Military Base in history.


When I heard the name of the Fort Hood gunman, Nidal Malik Hasan, I had erroneously heard his family was Pakistan. I knew immediately this was terrorism. Now we know that he is Palestinian with ties to Virgina -- this makes matters worse.

This timeline show his activities leading up to the shooting, but DO NOT include all of the details.

Virgina is a haven for extreme Muslims and the Dar al-Hijrah mosque, where Hasan attended, was home to two 9/11 highjackers. This is is where Hasan's turn to extremism took hold. This and other mosques that preach and support jihads begin with this foundation:

"We abide by every law of this country except those laws that contradictory to Islam Law..."

It is important to understand that this is the backbone of the Hasan story: Islamic Law supersedes and trumps the Constitution and his oath to the military. Killing other Muslims, even the jihads in Afghanistan or Iraq, is against their religion.

We were given ALL of the warning signs to understand this War Against Islamic Extremists -- we just forgot, dismiss those signs too easily or can't overcome "political correctness" to ensure our protection.

Some warning signs:

Federal law enforcement officials have said Major Hasan had come to their attention at least six months ago because of Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other threats. The officials said the postings appeared to have been made by Major Hasan but they were still trying to confirm that he was the author.

SIX MONTHS AGO....but we still can't confirm.

His anger was noted by a classmate, who said Hasan "viewed the war against terror" as a "war against Islam."

ABC now reports Hasan was trying to contact al Qaeda. As the article points out: it's UNCLEAR if US Intelligence informed the ARMY of Major Hasan's actions.

Back to Virgina, radical mosque leader, Anwar al Awlaki, who now lives in Yemen and runs a web site that promotes jihad around the world against the U.S has ties to Virgina and these extreme mosques.

Awlaki's Blog post on Monday: "Nidal Hasan Did the Right Thing," Awlaki calls Hasan a "hero" and a "man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people." (quoted from the aforementioned ABC article) Read the column here:

Hasan had done a powerpoint presentation entitled "Why the War on Terror Is a War on Islam" in which some viewers filed anonymous concerns about the tone of the presentation.

The day before the shooting, Hasan gave away all of his possessions and said his goodbyes -- the decision was made. Major Hasan was no longer an officer for the Army, he was an enemy of the state.

Under the guise and protection of political correctness, even the reporters repeated the comment "I wish his name had been Smith" as they refused to call the man what he had become - a terrorist.

The terrorists we are fighting are NOT NAMED SMITH.

The most ridiculous comes from TIME magazine which asserts that Hasan developed a "Secondary Post Traumatic Syndrome" from hearing the countless stories from the war zone.

From the article: "It's entirely possible that other factors may have acted as a trigger for Hasan's alleged killing spree."

YES. HE WAS A TERRORIST! NOT A VICTIM!

TIME continues to victimize the Hasan reputation because he was alleged harassed because of his religion and he was vocally opposed to the war. They fail to mention that Hasan had adopted the belief that Islamic Law trumps his oath to uphold the Constitution. Who can blame the magazine, they wanted to focused on how traumatized he was.

All we have to do is look to at ourselves to see how this happened. Blame will be spread from the Army to the FBI to society and to the war itself. The end of this tragedy will be the same: a terrorist murdered 12 and wounded over 30. He's now a hero to the Islamic Extremists -- the enemy.

Back in March, the White House adopted politically correct names for the war (Overseas Contingency Operations)and terrorists (Man-Made Disasters) well, look no further than to Ft. Hood for the latest "Man-Made Disaster", but the problem is that it isn't "overseas"


Hasan's writings prior to the shooting:

"There was a grenade thrown amongst 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 intentionally 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 paralelled 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." (see below links to the entire six page document)
