Muslim leaders could encourage him to repent. And they could engage Maj. Hasan on his deeply flawed understanding of Islam, explaining that the Quran is an instrument to take people from darkness to light, not the opposite.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ya know, that&#8217;s all well and good, but how about pulling aside the radical clerics operating across the world and urging them to repent, too. How about a little preventive maintenance on Islam. Another good place to start is with those Revolution Muslims &#8211; they&#8217;re the guys who called Hasan an &#8220;officer and a gentleman&#8221; for murdering 13 (14) people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/revolution-muslims.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16009 aligncenter\" title=\"revolution-muslims\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/revolution-muslims-300x189.jpg\" alt=\"revolution-muslims\" width=\"300\" height=\"189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/revolution-muslims-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/revolution-muslims.jpg 963w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a report from Anderson Cooper from last month right after the Hasan attack;<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"500\" height=\"333\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/5vU9lwJ_5JY&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/5vU9lwJ_5JY&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>It seems to me that if Al-Marayati wanted to do some good, he&#8217;d forget about Hasan&#8217;s soul and start saving some of these folks who are on the precipice of doing some harm to folks.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve watched some of the videos of the Revolution Muslims and it&#8217;s some scary shit to watch them mouth words that they&#8217;ve obviously memorized and practiced.<\/p>\n<p>Even Jesse MacBeth is concerned about them.
