Radical Islamic Speaker at Fort Hood

Just one month after Nidal Hasan waged jihad on our troops at Fort Hood, the Army base welcomed Dr. Louay Safi last week. Safi was on base to speak to troops about to be deployed to Afghanistan. According to CBN News, the man who is a top official for the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) was dispatched to teach our soldiers about Islam before heading into Afghanistan.

How does this earn the label "radical?" In 2007, ISNA -- the group with Safi in a high position -- was named an un-indicted co-conspirator in a trial dealing with the funding of terrorism through the Holy Land Foundation (HLF). The HLF had five members convicted of funneling money into Palestine that allegedly wound up in the hands of Hamas.

Also during the trial of the HLF, evidence was provided by the prosecution that showed ISNA is very closely linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, a jihadist group that has paved the way for groups such as al Qaeda and Hamas.

Dr. Safi has also worked for a Saudi-funded organization called the International Institute of Islamic Thought. The Islamic think-tank, founded in 1981, espouses this overview on their site.

"The International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT) is a private, non-profit, academic, cultural and educational institution, concerned with general issues of Islamic thought and education. The Institute was established in the United States of America in 1981 (1401 AH). It is independent of local politics, party orientations and ideological bias."

Anyone buying that last line??? Didn't think so.

In 1995, Safi is heard on an FBI wiretap talking to the convicted terrorist Sami al-Arian. al-Arian, a professor of computer science at the University of South Florida in Tampa, pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to aid the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Ol' Sami boy is also a co-founder of ISNA. Let's see...who holds a high position within ISNA? Oh yeah. Dr. Safi, the man who spoke at Fort Hood last week.

A spokesman for the Army base told CBN News that "Safi was one of the faculty members during a seminar about Islam for the Army's 135th expeditionary unit. He said speakers are invited based on learning objectives, audience experience, and availability. The spokesman added that "organizers of the seminar were not aware of Safi's alleged association, but have had no issues or concerns over his presentations nor has any unit raised any."

ALLEGED association??? I think not. Seems pretty clear to me.

What the hell were Fort Hood officials thinking? One month after 14 were killed at the Army's largest base, they're now inviting the enemy to speak there. It's a disgrace.

PC has no frickin' place in our military!!!

Hasan's Imam and Bary Family Imam: The Ties That Bind

Rifqa Bary, the teenager who fled her muslim family over the summer for fear of being the victim of an 'honor killing,' continues to be a prisoner of the state of Ohio. In foster care, Rifqa's phone calls and internet usage are monitored as directed by the presiding judge in her case. I assume the ACLU is too busy trying to get a nativity scene removed from a public park somewhere to address this issue.

Though the Florida Department of Law Enforcement alleges no evidence of any danger posed to Rifqa from her family, this news tidbit says something very different.

According to Jihad Watch, the imam at the mosque where Rifqa's family is indoctrinated, I mean worships led a hajj to mecca in 2002 with the radical jihadist imam of Major Nidal Hasan, the nutjob who killed 14 and wounded over 30 in a shooting at Fort Hood, Texas. But Rifqa's not in danger. No....we all know islam is such a peaceful religion.

The latest proposal by the agencies in charge of handling Rifqa's case in Ohio says that Rifqa and her family should meet to discuss their respective religions in order to promote "understanding" between the two. This attitude is part of the reason we've had 'honor killings' in Arizona and Buffalo and why 35+ families will never be the same again. The only "understanding" we need of islam is that infidels must die. Period. It wasn't the Swedish Bikini Team that hijacked four planes and killed 3,000 innocent people on 9/11.

It's tough to get some Americans to see that we are waging a jihad against a philosophy that promotes the barbaric notion of sharia law. What will it take? Will it take an act of terrorism on the part of some martyr wannabe that affects their families? How about having their children recite koran verses in school to promote "understanding"? The kumbaya crowd has no clue about the very real danger the West faces from the fascist regimes of muslim countries.


Despite the willingness of the left -- particularly the muslim-in-chief -- to capitulate to those who call us 'islamophobes,' there are those who get it. Our brave soldiers who continue to fight for the freedom of people to live in a free country instead of a theocracy get it. Those families who lost loved ones on 9/11 and at Fort Hood get it. And one very brave teen in Ohio gets it.

On December 22, 2009, another rally will be held in Columbus, Ohio, in support of Rifqa Bary. This is the day where another hearing will be held to determine whether she returns to her family. Depending on the ruling, she could immediately be handed over to her potential killers.

Please continue to pray to God the Father that He continues to protect and bless Rifqa. Thank you.

Hasan Could Get Death Penalty, Needs Presidential Approval

The whole Fort Hood massacre issue makes me more and more sad as the days wear on.

I sent an email to some of my blogger pals earlier today asking them to please consider listing the death toll at Ft. Hood as 14. Private Francheska Velez was three months pregnant, and I didn't want the death of her baby to be overlooked. Right Guy asked a great question in his reply that begged looking into, and I told him I'd try to find an answer.

The question was in regards to something he had heard about Obama having to sign off on the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan should the turd get the death penalty. I wish I hadn't found the answer.

According to an article by the AP, the bulk of the case against Hasan could be decided by the commander of Ft. Hood, Lt. Gen. Robert Cone, in a military trial. The jury would consist of 12 officers of higher rank or seniority, and they would all have to agree on the verdict and death sentence. Only a three-fourths consensus is needed to impose a life sentence.

Should the jury do the right thing and hand down a death sentence, military protocol dictates that to carry out a military execution, the POTUS (in this case POSOTUS -- Piece Of S*** of the United States) must sign off on it.

From the AP:

The president's involvement also sets military death-penalty cases apart. The president can commute any federal death sentence, civilian or military but must personally approve each military execution and sign an order to carry it out. [Emphasis mine--blackandgoldfan]

Considering the sympathy Obamarx has shown to the Muslim world, what do you think the chances are of THAT happening? I'd be voted Playmate of the Year before BHO would turn on a Muslim brother.

Being that involvement in a military execution is required by the president, that makes it a political issue. Given his political track record, who do you think Dear Leader would side with? Those of us who believe in justice or the whining left who thinks we need to "understand" Hasan?

The trial may not start for months as military prosecutors build a solid case. That would put the start of such a trial in at LEAST 2010 or possibly early 2011. What happens in 2012? If you said the world is set to end, you are an alarmist. If you said "Presidential election," put a Black and Gold star on your chart for the day.

In the past 25 years, only 15 people have been given a federal death sentence. Of that fifteen, two were commuted by commanding generals, and eight were thrown out on appeal. One of those that was carried out was that of Timothy McVeigh. That leaves four people who may yet be awaiting a date with the needle.

Let's make it five.

(HUGE h/t to Right Guy! Great job!)

Victim #14

In all the memorials concerning the victims of the Fort Hood masscre, it struck me that there seems to be no mention of the 14th victim. No, I'm not calling that scumbag, Hasan, a victim. Yinz should know me better than that.

Last Thursday, Private Francheska Velez, 21, had the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Pvt. Velez had served in Iraq and had just returned to Fort Hood to await a trip back to her native Chicago. The trip was only weeks away, but Velez was not to make the trip because a nutjob who put being a Muslim before being an American decided to commit the worst act of TERRORISM on American soil since 9/11. Pvt. Velez was three months pregnant and on maternity leave.

Why hasn't anyone in the media, including Fox, mentioned the 14th victim, namely Velez's unborn baby? That's right. Baby. Not "fetus," not "cluster of cells," but "BABY."

In the aftermath of such a tragedy, it is easy to overlook some details. We become focused on the causes of such an incident, motives, and "what went wrong." But we cannot forget that 14 lives were taken that day, not 13. If we were to forget, it takes away from the value we conservatives place on unborn life.

From now on, I am asking all of my fellow bloggers to list the death toll at Fort Hood as 14. The choice is yours, and I will still love and respect all of you, but let's remember the most innocent of all the lives taken that day. I thank you in advance.

Ft. Hood Killer's Imam: 'Islam Not Responsible'

Still trying to wrap my brain around the senseless and cowardly act perpetuated on Thursday at Fort Hood, I decided to see what information I could find on Nidal Malik Hasan's spiritual leader, or imam, after he made the announcement on Friday during prayer that Islam bears no responsibility of the acts of Hasan.

"We offer our condolences and prayers to the families that have a person who died," said Imam Mohammed Abdullahi over loud-speakers that carried the weekly Muslim prayer to several hundred worshippers gathered at the mosque in Silver Spring, Maryland, where Hasan was a member.

"Islam is not responsible," he stressed.

Okay...while Islam itself may not be responsible (and those of you who know me know that I don't believe THAT), what about the interpretations of the Quran that these radicals teach in the mosques? Did I just call Abdullahi a "radical?" You bet your sweet ass I did. When you read about this scumbag, you may just agree.

According to the website of the Muslim Community Center (MCC) where Abdullahi is the imam, this teacher of the "religion of peace" holds a diploma in SHARIA from the National Somali University in Mogadishu. How much more radical can that be? The site also says that he provides guidance and support to the community in the matters of Sharia Law. In short, this guy believes women who are raped commit a crime and should be executed.

Abdullahi allegedly started his budding jihadist career at the tender age of 11 when he supposedly memorized the Quran. From there, he went on to study and gain full understanding of hadith (prophetic sayings) and fiqh (Islamic justice). When combined, hadith and fiqh provide the foundation for Sharia Law, according to IslamOnline.net.

Since 1987, Abdullahi has taught at various mosques and madrasahs. That's right. Get them while they're young. But hey...this humanitarian also worked with inmates at the Southern Maryland Pre-Release Unit (SMPRU) where he organized the Islamic Outreach Program. Prisons have become recruitment centers for radical Islam over the years, and it seems that everyone's favorite imam was there to help with the effort. Hell of a guy, eh?

Also in this dirtbag's illustrious career is his stint as director of Dar-ul-Nur, The Islamic Institution for Somali Muslim Community in Falls Church, Virginia. You see, Abdullahi is proficient in Arabic, Somali, Swahili, and English. While at the Somali school, he taught courses in beginner and advanced Arabic for adults and also gave weekly tafsirs (editorials) and lectures on fiqh. But this was just his way of reaching out to the community in the name of peace, right? We all know how peaceful Somalia is when they torture and kill Christians for not converting to Islam. Let's bring that "peace" here!!! Scumbag.

Some of Abdullahi's other pupils at the mosque offered their views on the Fort Hood massacre.

"It's very sad, a big tragedy for everybody," said another worshipper, Ibrahim Gayi.

"We pray for everybody, all Americans, not only Muslims," he said.

Gayi also added:

"It's got to be something mental," said Gayi.

"These guys who go and come back from war, they need help," he said.

Mr. Gayi....Hasan had spent his whole career at Walter Reed Hospital, so don't tell me he suffered from PTSD when he had never left the confines of this country. Granted, our brave soldiers who go and fight deserve every bit of help from us; Mr. Hasan does not. He gave up that privilege when he showed us what he truly believes.

And his beliefs were fostered in part by the teachings of his imam.

Tragedy at Fort Hood: Obama's Excuse?

Yesterday, Major Nadal Malik Hasan opened fire on troops stationed at Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas, killing 12 and wounding 31. A psychiatrist, Hasan allegedly opposed the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and wanted out before being deployed to Iraq. He remains in stable condition as of this writing.

While the media will be analyzing this tragedy and trying to make sense out of a senseless act, I can't help but think that this unfortunate event could be used by BHO to further his radical Communist agenda.

Being an arrogant egomaniac, Dear Leader lives by the advice given to him by Rahm-boy Emmanuel to never "let a good crisis go to waste." Trust me. Obamarx will find a way to use this shooting as a means to further his agenda. Many opportunities have opened up thanks to a Muslim nut with a gun.

First, we need to wonder whether this will be Obama's reason to not commit more troops to Afghanistan and pull out completely from Iraq. General Stanley McChrystal, who is the go-to guy in Afghanistan and knows more than anyone the situation there, asked for more troops almost two months ago, yet BHO continues to delay a decision on troop commitment. Could Obama use the Fort Hood tragedy to justify a denial of more troops because, in some twisted way, this nut represents what Americans think of the wars? It would surprise me not.

Second, we can most likely anticipate an increase in the gun control rhetoric. As usually happens after a tragedy of this nature, the gun grabbers start screaming, "See? This is what guns do!" BHO has been very quiet on this issue, and it's very possible he could use this incident to open up another front on the war against liberty. Let's not forget that gun control was imposed upon the German citizenry in the name of safety in the years leading up to the reign of the Third Reich. Those who do not remember history are doomed to repeat it. And we all know the "history" the public school system has taught over the years.

Third, I look for the shooting to possibly be used to further an even more apologetic stance towards the Muslim community due to the fact that the nutjob who killed 12 troops in one fell swoop was an adherent to the "religion of peace." I can hear the leftist media spinning it now. "He didn't want to kill Muslims in an unjust war." "If we would only understand them, Muslims wouldn't do things like this." "This is retaliation for the murder of innocent Muslims by American imperialists." I haven't heard anything of this sort yet, but I'm sure it's been floated by some liberal in cyberspace.

While all of this is pure speculation on my part, experience has shown us that nothing can be put past a liberal with an agenda and an ax to grind. And let's be honest. That's exactly what we have residing in the White House.
