There's another emotion I'm feeling about this, but I don't quite have name for it yet.
It's been brought to my attention by several reliable sources that the Defense Department has brought Louay Safi to Fort Hood as an instructor, and that he has been lecturing on Islam to our troops in Fort Hood who are about to deploy to Afghanistan. Safi is a top official of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), and served as research director at the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT).
Worse, last evening, Safi was apparently permitted to present a check (evidently on behalf of ISNA) to the families of the victims of last month's Fort Hood massacre. A military source told the blogger Barbarossa at the Jawa Report: "This is nothing short of blood money. This is criminal and the Ft. Hood base commander should be fired right now."
ISNA was identified by the Justice Department at the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing conspiracy trial as an unindicted co-conspirator. The defendants at that trial were convicted of funding Hamas to the tune of millions of dollars. This should have come as no surprise. ISNA is the Muslim Brotherhood's umbrella entity for Islamist organizations in the United States.
A Muslim--a Jihadist--murders those which he has sworn oaths to lead, to stand beside and to render no harm to. So what do his commanders do? They bring in a representative from America's Muslim Brotherhood entity to chat up the troops and bribe the bereaved.
No, I can't name this feeling. But I know in my gut that the base commander didn't order this visit. The permission for this came from the top.
