Fort Hood shooter says he wants to become 'citizen' of Islamic State caliphate

The convicted shooter in the Fort Hood massacre has written a letter to the leader of the Islamic State saying he wants to become a "citizen" of the caliphate, in the latest example of the terror group's reach inside the U.S.

The letter from Nidal Hasan, obtained by Fox News, comes after two Americans reportedly died fighting for ISIS in Syria. Sources late Wednesday identified the second as Abdirahmaan Muhumed, of Minneapolis. Fox affiliate KMSP-TV in Minneapolis reported that Muhumed was killed in the same battle as Douglas McArthur McCain, who grew up outside Minneapolis in the town of New Hope and most recently lived in San Diego.

The State Department said Thursday it could not confirm Muhumed’s death and efforts to reach his family were unsuccessful.

In the undated letter, Hasan -- who fatally shot 13 people and injured more than 30 at Fort Hood in 2009 in what the Defense Department called “workplace violence”-- tells ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi that he wants to join the caliphate.

"I formally and humbly request to be made a citizen of the Islamic State,”Hasan says in the handwritten document addressed to “Ameer, Mujahid Dr. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.”

"It would be an honor for any believer to be an obedient citizen soldier to a people and its leader who don't compromise the religion of All-Mighty Allah to get along with the disbelievers."

The two-page letter includes Hasan’s signature and the abbreviation SoA for Soldier of Allah.

Hasan's attorney, John Galligan, said the letter “underscores how much of his life, actions and mental thought process are driven by religious zeal. And it also reinforces my belief that the military judge committed reversible error by prohibiting Major Hasan from both testifying and arguing…how his religious beliefs” motivated his actions during the shooting.

He should have been given the death penalty and been executed within 6 months. He was a traitor in a time of war. Or better yet, the DOD cop should have kept pulling the trigger until he was dead. That would have been better than his lingering on and doing stupid stuff like this. 'Workplace violence' my A$$.

PV1 Hassan, you may have been a major once, but now you are beneath contempt. I say we deliver him to the ISIS pukes... Dropped from 30,000 feet strapped to a MOAB. He can serve the country he betrayed one last time by doing that.

 If that is not feasible based off a chain of command with no balls to do what will keep Americans safe, he should be executed by firing squad with bullets that have been dipped in bacon grease ensuring his traitorous a$$ goes straight to shaitan were he belongs.

Grant him his request. Put a tracker on his ass and release him in the Texas desert somewhere and drone his ass.

I don't care if he wants to cut his nuts off with a butter knife, and change his name to Chelsea. If it moves the bastard another step closer to getting his last picture taken, I'm all for it.

Then send him there. Hassan should be executed.

It's a ploy! They'll make him a citizen, then an ambassador, and with that,  he'll have Diplomatic immunity!

And then our only hope will be Mel Gibson and Danny Glover, and they're too old for this Sh*t!
