A used car dealership outside Denver, Colorado has put up a billboard connecting President Obama to a turban wearing jihadist. It also calls into question Obama’s birth certificate and it instructs sleepy Americans to remember the Fort Hood massacre.
You’ve got to admit that President Barack Obama and Major Nidal Malik Hasan are so much alike.
Barack Obama’s mother was a white woman from Kansas and his father was a black man for Kenya. Hasan’s parents are Palestinians who immigrated from the West Bank to Virginia. Obama was born in Hawaii. Hasan was born in Virginia.
The similarities just don’t end there. Obama is a Christian, and has accepted Jesus Christ as his personal lord and savor. Hasan is a devout Muslim. Obama is married and has two children. Hasan is a confirmed bachelor with no children.
In his off-time, Obama wears old lady jeans, while Hasan wears traditional white Arab garb.
The similarities between the two men, President Barack Obama and Major Nidal Malik Hasan, are really quite remarkable. I for one am glad that this used car dealership had the courage to erect this sign.

U.S. Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan had been attempting to reach the al Qaeda terrorist network.
From ABC News:
U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Malik 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.
According to the officials, the Army was informed of Hasan’s contact, but it is unclear what, if anything, the Army did in response.
I’m guessing the Army did nothing with the information. If Congress can question Major League Baseball about it’s players using performance enhancing drugs, they can certainly question the U.S. Army on whythey allowed a Muslim man who wanted out of the Army, who had been trying to contact al Qaeda, was allowed to stay in the military.
His co-workers reported Hasan to their commanding officers in 2008 for comments he made concerning his religion and his duty as an officer in the U.S. Army. Reportedly he told co-workers that he was a Muslim first and an Army officer second. The Army’s response?
They promoted Hasan to major in May 2009.
The kicker in all this is that if instead of trying to contact al Qaeda, Hasan had instead gone on Craig’s List and attempted to seek out another man for gay sex, he would have been quickly discharged.
Our service members deserve better than this.

It turns out that some of the soldiers gunned down at Fort Hood by U.S. Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan may in fact been shot by some of the military security who responded to the incident. They refer to it as “friendly fire,” not that there is anything even remotely friendly about it. I’d hate to be one of the first responders who arrived at the scene and instead of saving people, it turns out actually contributed to the overall casualty count.
That’s a heavy burden to carry around in your head for the next fifty years.
Of course it’s not their fault. The fault rests squarely at the feet of Maj. Hasan.
The part of this whole tragedy that bothers me the most is the Maj. Hasan did what he did while wearing the uniform. The fact that he could murder his fellow soldiers while wearing the uniform of the U.S. Army seems incredibly perverse to me. In the military, you are taught to respect the uniform. It represents more than just clothing, it represents all those who have served.
I’m not big on symbolism, except I guess when it comes to the uniform of the U.S. military.
On a positive note, it seems Maj. Hasan is in really bad shape. He’s in a coma, on a respirator, and the doctors are saying that if he lives, he will probably be paralyzed.

Malik Nadal Hasan, a 39-year old U. S. Army major opened fire with two handguns at Fort Hood, Texas, killing 12 and wounding another 31. Most of those shot were U.S. soldiers processing their paperwork for an up coming deployment to Iraq and/or Afghanistan.
Hasan was killed.
Authorities are saying that it’s far too early to say whether or not this attack was an act of terrorism. Just because the gunman has a name that sounds Arabic, doesn’t mean that it’s related to Islamic terrorism. At least that’s what they are saying on TV. For all we know, Major Hasan might have been a Baptist or a Mormon with a bad attitude.
Not that I’ve ever known a Mormon with a bad attitude.
The Army has two other suspects in custody. They, like Hasan, are U.S. soldiers. Their names have not been released.
Update:ABC News has posted a photo of Maj. Hasan.
