FORT HOOD, Texas – A radical American imam on Yemen’s most wanted militant list who had contact with two 9/11 hijackers on Monday praised alleged Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan as a hero on his personal Web site.

The posting on the Web site for Anwar al Awlaki, who was a spiritual leader at two mosques where three 9/11 hijackers worshipped, said American Muslims who condemned the attacks on the Texas military base last week are hypocrites who have committed treason against their religion.

Awlaki said the only way a Muslim can justify serving in the U.S. military is if he intends to “follow in the footsteps of men like Nidal.”

“Nidal Hassan (sic) is a hero. He is a man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people,” Awlaki wrote.

Two U.S. intelligence officials told The Associated Press the Web site was Awlaki’s. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence collection. Awlaki did not immediately respond to an attempt to contact him through the Web site.

Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, is accused of killing 13 and wounding 29 in a shooting spree Thursday.

Authorities say Hasan fired off more than 100 rounds before civilian police shot him in the torso. He was taken into custody and eventually moved to an Army hospital in San Antonio, where he was in stable condition and able to talk, said Dewey Mitchell, a Brooke Army Medical Center spokesman.

Fifteen victims remained hospitalized with gunshot wounds, and eight were in intensive care.

  2. I am a renegade unorthox muslim and an indirect descendent of Gorlois Duke of Cornwall. Is it true to say that christians are human carnivores and domestics while muslim are wild herbivore and carrion? Do you know the the difference between a shovel and a spade? Are eagles ruled by the cuckoo queen? Is Jesus an accomplice after the fact in far too many crimes for him to answer for. Is it too late for Jesus to stand up to the magi, giving them a megraine perhaps. Do not chew Venusian opium unless you shred it first.
