More Jihadi Endorsements for Ft. Hood Shooter Maj. Malik Hasan
By Evan Kohlmann
The NEFA Foundation has obtained an English-language statement regarding the Ft. Hood massacre that was posted by the administrators of the Ansar al-Mujahideen online jihad forum. The statement noted, "We issue this statement in support of the actions of brother Nidal Malik Hassan; as a congratulations for his brave and heroic deed, as well as the jealousness he displayed for the pains suffered by the Muslim Ummah as a result of the modern Zionist-Christian Crusades against it.We ask Allah to accept this great feat of yours and make you an example for others to follow." Further, "It is not permissible for Muslims to aid the infidels in any way in war against the Muslims, whether physically, morally, financially, or strategically. There is a consensus amongst the scholars that whoever does so, even by a mere gesture, has committed an act of apostasy and has left the fold of Islam." It should be noted that the Ansar al-Mujahideen forum has been recently endorsed by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (the Taliban) as one of their officially approved web venues.
The entire statement from Ansar al-Mujahideen in support of Maj. Hasan can be viewed on the NEFA Foundation website.
