I guess we shouldn't be surprised, but a Washington D.C. based Muslim named Khadeeja Nuur has created a FaceBook Page offering prayers for the recovery of Fort Hood murderer Dr. Nidal Malik Hasan.

The page seems to have been started sometime before Friday at 3PM and she features this main message in her information section:

Together we pray for the recovery of Dr. Nidal Malik Hasan, MD. May Allah see fit to return this loyal son of Islam back to perfect health. Sallalahu Alayhi Wa Sallam.

Initially, it appears that a few Muslims celebrating Hasan's evil actions were leaving messages in hopes that Hasan gets well, agreeing with his actions, or at the very least justifying them.

A Graal Reborn, for instance, leaves the message that, "killing is bad I agree but being forced to do somethnig [sic] you don't want to do and being the minority standing up to the majority is respectable no matter who you are." And Alex Gould wrote, "I pray to Allah that he may recover soon." Later a fellow going by the name Abu Soleiman Al-nase wrote, "nidal malik is a brave mujahid,,he did jihad ,,he did kill the killers (american soldiers) that was going to iraq and afganistan [sic] to fight the islamic nation...my greeting and pray for him,,we will never forget you brother nidal."

For her part Khadeeja Nuur hoped that people wouldn't condemn Hasan as President Obama has refused to do. "President Obama has been mindful enough to not condemn Dr. Hasan. So how dare you all do so," she writes.

Of course, once many FaceBookers found out about the page it began to fill up with fury, outrage, and anger that Nuur would dare make such a page wishing the murderous Hasan well. She eventually pleaded for other to "please keep this discussion board civil." She pleaded for "civility" several more times before giving up on that plaintive plea. One wonders how "civil" Hasan her idol was being as he gunned down helpless, unarmed soldiers and civilians at Fort Hood?

Nuur switched tracks by Saturday and began to ask for financial contributions to groups such as CAIR and the AAI.

As the Zionist media continue to portray Dr. Nidal Malik Hasan as a villain, it is vitally important, now more than ever, that we take a unified stand against Arab/Islamic defamation.

To that end, please consider giving, as generously as you are able, to these outstanding American-Arab/Islamic-interest organizations:

(Here she lists them and gives links which I refuse to do)

Still, it is a bit amusing to see that 95 percent of the messages posted on Nuur's FaceBook well-wishing for the murderer Hasan are posts attack Hasan and Nuur for their jihadist hatemongering.

Perhaps if you are a member of FaceBook you might have a minute to give Khadeeja Nuur a nice welcoming message for her new FaceBook effort?

Two Illinois soldiers lost their lives from the evil, criminal actions of Muslim Nidal Hasan in Texas last week.

Private Francheska Velez, 21, of West Kamerling was one of the thirteen killed by Hasan at Fort Hood Army base on Thursday.

"She was the best I have. The light of my family," Juan Velez said of his only daughter. "She was living my dream -- to be part of the military, part of the United States. To be part of something. Just to give back to the United States because this is where we are from."

Pvt. Valez was three months pregnant when she lost her life.

Also killed by this terrorist was Pvt. Michael Pearson, 21, of Bolingbrook. Pearson was training to become a bomb technician.

Screaming "Allahu Akbar," terrorist Hasan entered a medical clinic where soldiers were waiting medical exams for deployment and began to fire at anyone in his way. 13 were murdered -- actually 14 counting the baby in Velez' womb. And therein lies a problem with the reporting of this story. No one mentions the loss of life suffered by Valez' baby! It should not so easily be forgotten.

We have said a prayer for the families of victims and the tortured soul of this murdering Muslim terrorist.

It has come to this, America. Democrats have decided that if you don't agree with their policies, you are to be fined. And if you don't pay the fine, you are a criminal and will be sentenced to jail. That's right, Democrats are criminalizing dissent.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has decided to leave language in her heatlhcare bill that criminalizes and prescribes jail time for any American that does not want to buy private healthcare insurance. Think of this, America. I am telling you that the U.S. Congress has decided to force you to buy the product of a privately owned corporation! The power of the U.S. federal government has never been used to purchase something from a private company but here comes San Fran Nancy to do just that. But, let's face it. She is only taking her cue from the big guy and his "Chicago way" sort of political thuggery.

The Joint Committee on Taxation issued a letter (Download pdf file) in reply to Representative Dave Crump's inquiry about the matter of the criminal penalties of refusing to buy healthcare insurance should Pelosi's version of Obamacare pass.

In reply the JCT outlines the exact language in the bill that proves that Pelosi and her Democrat leaders want to turn YOU into a federal criminal if you don't want to buy her health insurance. Criminal penalties include:

• Section 7203 – misdemeanor willful failure to pay is punishable by a fine of up to $25,000 and/or imprisonment of up to one year.
• Section 7201 – felony willful evasion is punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment of up to five years.”

Is it Constitutional? Apparently they just don't care.

But what does it matter if the Constitution is violated by members of the Democrat Party? After all, they will rewrite the Constitution to suit their transitory criteria with which they'll pass whatever bill they want to push. The Constitution serves as no obstacle at all to their ambitions.

Here is a prime example. CNSNews asked Senator Burris if he saw this power to coerce the people to engage in preferred commerce in the Constitution:

CNSNews: Federally, if you look at it from a federal standpoint, what area specifically of the Constitution would give Congress the power to mandate an individual to have health insurance?”

Burris: Well, that’s under certainly the laws of the--protect the health, welfare of the country. That’s under the Constitution. We’re not even dealing with any constitutionality here. Should we move in that direction? What does the Constitution say? To provide for the health, welfare and the defense of the country.

So, Burris has decided that "health" is in the Constitution? Certainly the words "general welfare" appear there, but health does not. But, pffft. What do these "words" mean? Why should we let laws and tradition stand in the way of getting votes for a welfare program. With glittering jewels of ignorance like accidental Senator Burris crafting America's policies, it is no wonder we are fast losing our nation to enemies of democracy, freedom, liberty and the American way.

The Chicago Tribune has put out a few short bios of the current candidates for Illinois Senate on the GOP side of the aisle. And I do mean short. They are more like just an announcement of the candidate's campaign than a bio. They contain links to the candidates web resources, though. Nonetheless, here are the links:

John Arrington

Patrick Hughes

Mark Kirk

Tom Kuna

Don Lowery

Andy Martin

Ed Varga

Robert Zadek

Not yet covered is Kathleen Thomas' campaign.

And here is the one for the Democrats:

Alexi Giannoulias

Not yet covered for the Democrats is David Hoffman, Robert Marshall, and Jacob Meister's campaigns.

The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Democrat Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias is trying to use Mark Kirk's approach of Sarah Palin for an endorsement against him. Giannoulias is attempting to use the Kirk/Palin incident as a fund raising tool.

A few days ago, we reported that Mark Kirk sent a letter to Governor Sarah Palin challenging her to support his candidacy for the GOP nomination for Barack Obama's old Illinois Senate seat. It seems unlikely that Kirk will receive Palin's endorsement, though. Being far, far too liberal Kirk is hardly Palin's sort of Republican.

But Giannoulias thinks that even the slightest connection with Palin will drive his fundraising. The Democrat sent the following email to his supporters (bold in the original):

We knew from the beginning of this campaign that Republicans will do anything to get their hands on President Obama’s former seat in the U.S. Senate, but now we find out that the GOP wants Sarah Palin’s help to win this race.

Yesterday, news broke that Congressman Mark Kirk, the Republican front-runner, penned a secret memo to Sarah Palin’s camp asking that Palin help out Kirk in a “quick and decisive” way.

Palin has made no secret that she’s willing to help out conservatives in their quest to damage the President. She was the leader in false rumors about the President’s health care proposals, and she’s made it clear she’s willing to throw her support around to get conservatives elected from coast to coast.

Well, not here in Illinois.

We can’t let Mark Kirk and Sarah Palin take us back to the failed, Republican policies that got us into this economic mess.

Donate $10, $20, or $50 today to help us keep the President’s seat.

If Mark Kirk thinks bringing Sarah Palin to town will help distract from his record of consistently voting for big business and against Illinois families, he’s wrong.

Donate $10, $20, or $50 and help us send a message to Mark Kirk and Sarah Palin Republicans that this seat will stay in Democratic hands.

Alexi is a progressive Democrat who will move our state and our nation forward.

And thanks to supporters like you, this campaign will be ready to take on Mark Kirk, Sarah Palin, and whomever else the GOP sends to this fight for the President’s seat.

Alexi has his own troubles, however, with his connection to all sorts of shady banking deals. Still, he seems to be the leading candidate on the Democratic side of the aisle, though word has it that the Dem. powerbrokers are not enthralled with his candidacy despite his current status as leader.

Ken Marrero over at Blue Collar Muse reminds us that there are a few Democrats that could possibly be persuaded to vote against House Speaker Pelosi's healthcare bill.

Word has it that Pelosi is going to try and strong-arm her bill to a floor vote this Saturday, so if you want to stop this bill, call the following Congressmen and voice your opinion.

• Michael Arcuri (NY-24th)--(202) 225-3665
• Steve Dreihous (OH 1st)--(202) 225-2216
• Gabrielle Giffords (AZ-8th)--(202) 225-2542
• Debbie Halverson (IL-11th)--(202) 225-3635
• Steve Kagen (WI-8th)--(202) 225-5665
• Betsy Markey (CO-4th)--(202) 225-4676
• Tom Perriello (VA-5th)--(202) 225-4711
• Loretta Sanchez (CA-47th)--(202) 225-5711
• Vic Snyder (AR-29th)--(202) 225-2506
• Zack Space (OH-18th)--(202) 225-2965

I should remind readers that if you call these on-the-fence Democrats it's far more effective if you are from their District, though. Just random calls from across the country will mean far less than the calls of actual constituents.
