UPDATE:  I feel safer now that I know this a$$ was trying to make contact with Al-Qaeda.  Don’t you?  Isn’t calling  al Qaeda treason?

U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Hasan was attempting to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda, two American officials briefed on classified material in the case told ABC News.

Muslim first, American second.

An eyewitness account.

Hey, how can you go wrong when you have an Imam like this guy had?

Late this evening, al-Awlaki, who is now based in Yemen, commented on the shootings on a blog posting with the heading “Nidal Hassan Did the Right Thing“:

The heroic act of brother Nidal also shows the dilemma of the Muslim American community. Increasingly they are being cornered into taking stances that would either make them betray Islam or betray their nation.

Oh yeah baby…

I am not that familiar with the Koran, but I am pretty sure that Muslims are supposed to avoid alcohol and joints that serve alcohol.

The manager told Fox News: “The last time he was here, I remember checking his military ID at the door, and he paid his $15 cover and stayed for six or seven hours.”

Six hours in a strip joint? Am I missing something here?

And that prohibition on alcohol?

Jennifer Jenner, 31, said Hasan bought a lap dance from her, and Fox News reported, “he brought in a six pack of light beer, took only a few sips from one can and gave the rest to the strippers.”

Perhaps, al Qaeda hangs at strip bars?

“The last time he was here, I remember checking his military ID at the door, and he paid his $15 cover and stayed for six or seven hours,” Jones, 37, said.

Fun for him.

Hasan’s presence at the club paints a starkly different portrait of the alleged killer from that offered by his imam and family members, who have described him as a devout Muslim, and one who had difficulty finding a wife who would wear a head scarf and would pray five times a day.

Now, don’t judge him too harshly, Auntie Janet is watching out for any backlash.  My question is, shouldn’t Janet Napolitano be watching out for our citizens????  Shoutout to Janet, go to the strip bars and ask the bouncers.   Perhaps, Janet should remember that she is classified as an infidel and this guy didn’t have a problem telling pals that infidels deserve to have their throats slit and boiling oil poured down their throats.  Mmmmkay???

MM reminds us of another Islamodard.
