Seems like an awfully weak link

"Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army major suspected of killing 13 people and wounding 29 others at Fort Hood, worshipped at the same mosque as two of the 9/11 terrorists.

According to the London Sunday Telegraph, Hasan attended services at the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Va., in 2001 at the same time as Sept. 11 hijackers Nawaf al-Hamzi and Hani Hanjour. Funeral services for Hasan's mother also was held at that mosque."

His faith may have influenced his killing rampage against his fellow soldiers, or he could have a brain tumor or a mental illness, but attendance at the same mosque with Islamic jihadists? I don't think so. Thirty two years ago a member of my church bought a gun, practiced at a shooting range, then one day murdered her husband, her children and the family dog before killing herself. Her family and our family had carried the advent banners down the aisle just the week before. Do you see any relationship between us there? And what about all the other law abiding, good citizens who attend that mosque in Great Falls?

Clarification update: From WaPo today, Hasan attended the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church in 2001, when its spiritual leader was Anwar al-Aulaqi, a figure who crossed paths with al-Qaeda associates, including two Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers, one senior U.S. official said.

Since Aulaqi left in 2002 and settled in Yemen, his lectures promoting the strategies of an al-Qaeda military leader have shown up in computer files of suspects in terrorism cases in the United States, Canada and Britain, officials said. It is not clear whether Hasan knew the preacher well then or only later through his lectures on the Internet."
