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: here from JW, but you can also get a transcript here on MEMRI:
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.
I guess we need more “interfaith” garbage:
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.”
“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.
Meanwhile, the army of BS-peddlers, taqiyya doctors, Islamo-agit-props and assorted whores for Islam are already out in force to poison the minds of our best and brightest:

And if that doesn’t make you puke, here is John Esposito & John Voll throwing dreck at Tom Friedman, who is himself a dhimmi…..
But you want more, I know you always want more:
A Chicago-area imam on January 1st will become chair of the Council for a Parliament of the World’s Religions. He’s the first Muslim to hold the seat.
Abdul Malik Mujahid is a writer and activist, as well as religious leader, or imam. He’s about to take on a global role as chairman of the Council, an international interfaith group based in Chicago. Executive director Reverend Dirk Ficca hopes this sends a positive message.
FICCA: There were tears in the eyes of board members when we elected him as chair, I think in part, because we have a feeling that Islam is under siege around the world, that it’s greatly misunderstood. So we want to express our confidence in the Muslim community by selecting one of their own to head up the organization.
He says Mujahid was picked in part for his history of community organizing. The imam’s the president of Sound Vision Foundation, which produces Radio Islam. He’s the former chair of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago.

Anyone with half a brain would chalk this outrage down to islam. The trouble is most muslims are inveterate liars so you never know when to believe them. Best thing is to have nothing to do with them.
Talk about half a brain – take a look at the photo of Arthur Askey with the false beard and glasses set .
I’d like to wipe that stupid grin off his face .
How much more before people wise up ?
It has been reported that Awlaki has been killed in Yemen.
