The paper ran an opinion piece in their November 25th issue titled, "Fort Hood suspect didn't act in the name of Islam." It was written by Lina Hashem, a copy editor for the Loudoun Times-Mirror, and can be seen as a textbook case of "Al-taqiyya," how Muslims are permitted to lie when it is beneficial to Islam.
Among the lies Hashem writes:
When I first saw reports of another shooting last week, I was gripped with sadness for the victims and their families.
When my eye traveled down the page and I saw the word "mosque," I felt sick.
Oh, no. It's a Muslim.
I don't think there's any real indication yet that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan thought he was acting in the name of Islam as he allegedly killed 13 people and wounded dozens more Nov. 5 in Texas. So far, it seems that he just went crazy. All kinds of Americans do that. Muslims do, too.
Let's see...he yelled "Allah Akbar" (God is Great) before he went on his jihad that killed 13, plus one life which will never be born. He held a power point presentation at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington DC on Islam, where he stated "We love death more than you love life." He also told doctors that non-Muslims were "infidels condemned to hell who should be set on fire," who also should beheaded and have oil poured down their throats. He went to the Falls Church, VA mosque led by a radical Imam where two of the 9/11 hijackers went. And yet Hashem expects us to believe Hasan's act of terror at Ft. Hood had nothing to do with Islam? He just went crazy.
Yeah, right.
It gets worse, as Hashem continues:
I was at an Islamic spiritual retreat in Herndon the weekend after the shooting, and thoughts of Fort Hood were hanging over many people's heads. I saw sadness on the faces around me.
We were there to reflect on the Quran, but we ended up doing some reflecting on Fort Hood.
The speaker at the opening session, Zaid Shakir of California, pondered points from Islamic law that the audience members all already knew:
Islam does not allow the harming of innocents. Not even soldiers who will later go off to war and fight against Muslims. If they are not fighting at that time, a Muslim cannot harm them. And if any person has taken one innocent life, it is as if he has killed all humanity.
I did a web search and found out the following about Zaid Shakir which Hashem did not mention. Shakir is a regular speaker and advisor to the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR), unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation case. When asked about terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah, CAIR's PR flack Ibrihim Hooper said the organization "does not support these groups publicly."
Shakir, an Imam from California, has expressed desire for the United States to become a Muslim nation, saying "Every Muslim who is honest would say, I would like to see America become a Muslim country." But his extremism goes further than that.
Shakir once said that the Islamofascist terrorist attacks of 9/11 "occurred under dubious circumstances that have yet to be thoroughly investigated, are unlikely to be replicated and did little lasting damage to this country. This illustrates the overblown threat of the “Islamic Fascist” enemy." A new book called Muslim Mafia quotes Shakir as saying:
"Jihad is physically fighting the enemies of Islam to protect and advance the religion of Islam. This is jihad."
Acceptable targets of jihad, he says, include U.S. military aircraft.
"Islam doesn’t permit us to hijack airplanes filled with civilian people," Shakir once told a Muslim audience. However, "If you hijack an airplane filled with the 82nd Airborne, that’s something else."
Wow! That's much different than the image Hashem paints of the peaceful imam giving words of comfort to the attendees at this conference. Did Shakir perahps say something different at this Herndon conference Hashem reported?
The problem here, besides the apologist drivel put out by liberal publications like the Fairfax Times and Washington ComPost, is the double speak coming from the Islamic community, as well as them playing the victim card. No one is willing to address it, for fear of being labeled an "Islamophobe" by CAIR. Politicians nationally and locally, as seen in Fairfax County with the Wahabbist-styled Islamic Saudi Academy, give Muslims the benefit of the doubt and are fearful of confronting any reports of extremism. This kind of politically correct attitude only causes more Major Hasans, as we saw that his superiors expressed concern, but noting was done due to the obsession with "diversity," even in the military.
Hashem calls what happened at Ft. Hood a "tragedy." It was not. It was an act of terror. If Islam is the peaceful religion that Hashem and others portray it as, it's way past time they prove it, instead of talking out of both sides of their mouth and expecting us to believe something when the facts tell us otherwise.
