The Fort Hood terrorist inquired about killing United States soldiers in 2008

  Nidal Hasan– the Fort Hood terrorist who killed 13 soldiers at Fort Hood, and the man whom the administration still refuses to call a terrorist– contacted a Yemeni imam last year to ask him about killing United States soldiers.

  The imam, in an online interview, stated that Hasan contacted him just over one year ago to ask him if killing United States soldiers was “legitimate” for a Muslim serving in the United States military to kill his fellow soldiers.

He asked about killing American soldiers and officers and whether that was legitimate or not

The first message was on the rules about a Muslim soldier who serves in the American army and kills his fellow (soldiers.)

  Anwar al-Aulaqi– the Muslim cleric that Hasan was in contact with– apparently condones such attacks on our soldiers:

The target that Nidal targeted was a military target inside the United States and not anything else,” Aulaqi said.”I didn’t recruit Nidal Hasan and in fact America recruited him with its crimes and injustices and that is something that America does not want to recognize

  I do have to agree with  al-Aulaqi on one point– he claims that America recruited Hasan because of America’s crimes and that we do not want to recognize that fact. While I disagree vehemently that America recruited Hasan with her actions, I do agree that this administration is unwilling to recognize exactly who and what Nidal Hasan is– a terrorist.

  Hasan has been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder, and as awful as this “crime” was it was more than just premeditated murder. This was a terrorist attack and it is about time that the Obama administration admitted this and charged Hasan with committing a terrorist attack on United States soil.

  But charging Hasan with terrorism still isn’t enough, somebody has to be held accountable for not preventing this attack in the first place. The warning signs were there for quite a while, Hasan never should have been left in a position where he was able to carry out this attack. But he was, and somebody is to blame for this oversight. Somebody was negligent, perhaps the president’s policies even led to the neutering of the military commanders to the point where they couldn’t do anything about Hasan. We may never know, but we deserve to.
