Last month I reported here at PJM about Army PFC Nasser Abdo and the Secretary of the Army’s decision to grant Abdo conscientious objector status because the Muslim soldier claimed under Islamic law he couldn’t participate in a war where he would be asked to kill other Muslims (killing non-Muslims is apparently halal). His honorable discharge from the Army was delayed, however, after charges were filed against him after child pornography was found on his government-issued computer.
But the Associated Press now reports that PFC Abdo has been AWOL since the July 4th weekend after failing to report back to Fort Campbell and his 101st Airborne unit:
The Army says a Muslim soldier from Fort Campbell who won conscientious objector status but then was charged with possessing child pornography has gone AWOL.
Spokesman Rick Rzepka said Wednesday that Pfc. Naser Abdo has been absent without leave since the July 4th weekend.
Abdo, a 21-year-old infantry soldier, had applied for conscientious objector status last year saying his Muslim beliefs prohibited his service in any war.
Army officials recommended he be discharged as a conscientious objector but that was delayed by the criminal charge. Rzepka said a hearing last month recommended Abdo face a court-martial on the pornography charge.
Abdo’s attorney James Branum said his client is safe but declined to say more about his status.
Abdo now also faces additional charges related to being AWOL.
I sense a ‘sudden jihad syndrome’ event may happen…
Isn’t that special.
So his Muslim faith prevented him from killing enemies of America, but his Muslim faith permits him to view child pornography!!! What a jerk!
Does our concern about this mean that we’re….RAAAAACISTS!!???
Child sexual abuse/child rape is rampant in much of the muslim world, thus the recent fatwa from Dr. Salih bin Fawzan condoning it. Dr. Fawzan is a prominent member of Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council. ( Doctorate in Islamic studies no doubt)
To call these cultures barbarous or sub-human is an insult to barbarians and animals.
There seems to be something radically wrong with the advice of the Army’s legal branch.
First, very religious Muslims in Al Qaeda, the Taliban, etc. kill other Muslims daily. How could they buy this soldier’s argument that Muslims are forbidden from killing other Muslims, regardless of what their holy book might say?
Second, how could this guy not have been aware when he enlisted that the U.S. Army kills Muslims daily?
Third, why has the Army issued an Infantry Private a computer with civilian access to the internet?
Hmmmm just saw on fox that a huge blast in oslow has devastated the downtown area. Hmmmm with a large pakistani population, muslim no-go zones for norwegians, sharia law in those enclaves……I wonder how an explosion could have happened? Such a puzzle……
Maybe the vikings will wake up, but I am not holding my breath.
Who’s bright idea was it to let this guy go on leave? If he’s faced with possessing child porn, and he doesn’t want to fight, then he’s a flight risk. Duh.
His child porn defense will probably be koran based and indicate he was just looking for a wife in the tradition started by mohammed (piss be upon him) himself. You know, one of those computer dating services, only this one is for muslims.
And our PC military will probably let him get a way with it and find him not guilty. Then in a year or so, he’ll be captured on the battlefield in Afghanistan fighting with the taliban.
Pfc. Naser Abdo, 21, told investigators he planned an attack on soldiers at a restaurant near the Fort Hood Army Base in support of Maj. Nidal M. Hasan, the Army psychiatrist who has been charged in the killing of 13 people there in a 2009 attack. http://bit.ly/oGKRqj
I am having a very hard time with this one people. Army regs stae that co status will not be granted based on which war or battle one decides to fight in. that is you must oppose all war to be a co. So if he will be okay with killing non muslims but not muslims, he is choosing his war. Send him over there any way with a rifle and tell him to ask each person if they are muslim before he pulls the trigger. Hell we did that in Nam for years for gosh sake.
