That Yemeni-American Muslim cleric whose mosque Maj. Hasan attended some eight years ago in Virginia and with whom he was exchanging e-mails (the cleric is in Yemen now) has given an interview. He says he was simply a confidant to Hasan but didn’t urge him to action. But he [...]
Nasan gave a fifty-point slide show, "The Koranic World View As It Relates To Muslims in the U.S. Military," (online at the Washington Post) in which he explains the necessity for Jihad, the duties of a Muslim, the concept of defensive Jihad, and also gives citations from the Koran to support his views. None [...]
As the information drips out about the ties Nidal Malik Hasan had (or aspired t0 have) to terrorists at war with the United States and about his own radical statements, we see two competing narrative developing among the blogging and pundit class. Conservatives wonder why more wasn’t [...]
What does this terror and tragedy mean, and what does it not mean?
(Note: This is a second look at this delicate but important topic)
The shooting rampage at Fort Hood was an act of terror, but we should not feel terrorized or lash out against Muslims. We should also not [...]

We read that he feared deployment to Afghanistan because he didn’t want to [...]
Atlas Shrugs posted this video. Watch it. When you string years of Obama's public references, praise, slips of the tongue, and allusions to Islam, he reveals a deeper affinity with Islam than one would expect if he did not feel his identity to be Muslim. Contrast this public affiliation with Islam to [...]
Apparently, I fit the profile of someone who has these answers: I am a Muslim Palestinian American: I must know what one out of the 1.5 billion Muslims around the globe is thinking at any given time.
“Hey, Jamal…sorry to disturb you so early. But you know the Hasan story [...]
Major Hasan reportedly handed out copies of the Koran in the months preceding the massacre. He was also known for opposing US intervention in Iraq and for urging Muslims to fight against the US. During the shooting, he apparently was shouting in Arabic. Want to guess what he shouted?
Meanwhile, [...]
I was in the Midwest yesterday, speaking to a college group about tensions between Muslims and the West, and I argued that Muslims in the U.S. tend to assimilate much more fully than in Europe. A short while later I heard about Nidal Malik Hasan at Ft. Hood. I felt [...]
