Fort Hood Jihadist checked with Imam to see if killing U.S. soldiers was OK under Islam.

Any evidence to show how this attack
by Hasan at Fort Hood was a Jihadist
attack will be kept under wraps to
protect Islam and Muslims from possible
anti-Islamic/Muslim backlashes. This is
coming all the way from Obama and the
White House on down. There is precious
little information being released about
this Islamic murdering pig.

Fort Hood jihadist consulted cleric about whether killing U.S. soldiers was permitted under Islamic law


But remember, this has nothing -- nothing -- to do with Islam, if you believe Army brass and, of course, Obama himself. That willful blindness has shown itself to be the root of the failures in intelligence (in more than one sense of the word) that led to this attack. "Fort Hood: Hasan Asked Awlaki If It Was Okay to Kill American Soldiers," by Mark Schone for ABC News, December 23:

In an interview published on Al Jazeera's Web site, radical Muslim cleric Anwar al Awlaki says that Maj. Nidal Hasan, charged with killing 13 in last month's Fort Hood massacre, asked for guidance about killing American military personnel in his very first e-mail.

Awlaki claims that Hasan initiated the e-mail correspondence with a message on Dec. 17, 2008. "He was asking about killing U.S. soldiers and officers," said Awlaki. "His question was is it legitimate [under Islamic law]."

The Al Jazeera questioner asks for confirmation that Hasan forwarded this query nearly a year before the shooting.

"Yes," responds Awlaki. "I am astonished. Where was American intelligence that claimed once that it can read any car plate number anywhere in the world?" [...]

That much is true. It can't "read" what it refuses to see.

In the interview, Awlaki does not say whether he okayed the attack, but restates his support for the deed. Just after the Fort Hood shootings, Awlaki posted on a message on his Web site praising the shooter. In the interview, he calls it "a heroic action."

Murdering pig Hasan

"The operation had a military target inside America, and there's no dispute about that," said Awlaki, adding that the soldiers killed "were prepared and equipped to fight and kill oppressed Muslims."

Asked why he supports a man who "betrayed his American homeland," Awlaki says that religion trumps country. "Working in the American military to kill Muslims is a betrayal to Islam," said Awlaki.

Awlaki, however, denies recruiting Hasan to commit violence. "Yes, I played a role in guiding his ideology, but nothing beyond that," said Awlaki.

Awlaki then suggests that the American government is trying to cover up its security failure by preventing the publication of the e-mails.

Notice how it is never the fault of the Muslims
or Islam?
