The New Media Journal | Ft. Hood Terrorist Called Himself a 'Soldier of Allah'

The New Media Journal | Ft. Hood Terrorist Called Himself a 'Soldier of Allah': "The Army knew him as Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, MD. But he gave himself another title -- 'Soldier of Allah.' Hasan, the man responsible for the Fort Hood massacre that left 13 dead and 29 wounded, printed up business cards he ordered over the Internet that identified him as 'SoA' -- a jihadi acronym for 'Soldier of Allah.'

The latest peek into the mind of the Army-trained psychiatrist came as the US Army Criminal Investigation Command charged him yesterday with 13 counts of premeditated murder. If convicted, he faces a lethal injection. A 14th murder charge is being weighed because victim Pvt. Francheska Velez, 21, was pregnant.

With every day that passes since last week's bloodbath, more revelations come to light indicating that Hasan, 39, likely embraced an extremely violent version of Islamic ideology.

Investigators found the box of the sinister-reading business cards in his apartment, according to ABCnews.com. The green and white cards, the colors of Islam, had his name with the title 'Behavior Heatlh [sic] Mental Health and Life Skills' along with 'SoA (SWT).'

SWT likely stands for Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, or 'Glory to God' in Arabic, according to terrorism investigators.

Witnesses reported Hasan began his 100-bullet rampage at the Fort Hood Soldier Readiness Processing Center with the Arabic shout of 'Allahu Akbar!' or 'God is great!'

Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI), the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, who first revealed that the FBI knew Hasan had communicated with al Qaeda associates, said Hasan, whose Army salary was $90,000 a year, may have also wired money to Pakistan.

'They are trying to follow up on it because they recognize that if there are communications -- phone or money transfers with somebody in Pakistan -- it just raises a whole other level of questions,' Hoekstra told the Dallas Morning News."
