Is Obama Administration Delaying Fort Hood Jihadist's Trial?

This is quite the stunning reality, if true. Is the Obama administration actually responsible for delaying the trial of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan? The charge doesn't come from an anonymous or disconnected source. It apparently comes from Hasan's attorney, John Galligan, who likely has his share of nasty emails in his inbox. According to Pamela Geller's piece over at American Thinker she received an email forward from one of her readers in which Galligan pointed the finger directly at the administration in response to a question about all of the requests for trial delays.

Via American Thinker:

Major Hasan, also known as Soldier of Allah, according to his business card, mowed down thirteen U.S. soldiers while screaming Allahu akbar on the Fort Hood military base in Texas a year and a half ago, in November 2009. Yet his trial keeps on being postponed. On March 30, Lt. Gen. Robert Cone, the outgoing commanding general at Fort Hood, granted a request from John Galligan, Hasan's lawyer, to delay the trial until late April. Galligan, however, disclaims responsibility for all the delays, blaming them on none other than Barack Hussein Obama.

Rick, a reader of my website, AtlasShrugs.com, forwarded to me an email exchange he had with Galligan. Rick wrote to Galligan last Thursday: "The American people are getting pretty upset about all of these delays." On Friday, Galligan responded: "Delays are due to prosecution/White House refusal to disclose evidence. Blame them for the delays."

Whether true or not, such behavior would fall right in line with how this White House does things, especially when it comes to matters related to Jihad.

Video: Obama Senior Adviser Mocks Donald Trump

Something tells me Trump isn't going to let this go very long without a response. White House senior adviser David Plouffe comes off more than a little bit arrogant here. After being asked about Donald Trump's rise in the polls - in itself, a testament to how much of an impact Trump is having on the public discourse - Plouffe insists that he wants Trump to keep on climbing because he has no chance of being elected. He then calls it all a 'sideshow.'

I have long maintained that the entire Birther issue has been about Obama leading anyone who wants to go, down a blind alley as one of his distractions. That said, if that's true, and he produces his long form Birth Certificate, proving once and for all that was his strategy, there will be at least two very difficult questions for him to answer.

1.) Why did he spend so much money and wait so long?
2.) Why did he allow Lt. Co. Terry Lakin to go to jail over it?

Great Britain: Man Arrested for Burning the Qur'an

This is the problem those who support the condemnation of Terry Jones's act of burning the Qur'an will continue to run in to. Regardless of whether you believe he was right to do it, he had the right to do it. The next logical step if you accept the premise that Terry Jones had no right to burn the Qur'an is to criminalize the behavior. In Great Britain, a man burned a Qur'an in his own garage and was then arrested for having done so. There was a time when this sort of thing wouldn't have garnered the least bit of attention. What happened? It's called creeping Sharia and creeping Dhimmitude.

Via Daily Mail:

A senior member of the British National Party has been arrested for allegedly burning a copy of the Koran in his garage.

Sion Owens, a BNP candidate in the forthcoming Welsh Assembly elections, was charged under the Public Order Act.

He was said to have soaked the Islamic holy book in kerosene, set fire to it and watched it burn. Footage was then apparently circulated among extremists.

The alleged act, considered highly offensive to Muslims, comes after dozens died last week in riots fuelled by a similar Koran-burning incident in America.

Oddly enough, Bill Maher seems to be a consistent atheist on this issue. Fast forward to the 2:15 mark.
