The government is very aware of who I am and what I do; they should be - I’ve worked on counterterrorism issues for the UN, State, DOS, DHS, and more under the Obama, Trump I, and Biden administrations.
ISIS, Army of God, and all the run of the mill Neo-Nazi organizations are, too — see above as per why.
So feel free to keep harassing away, and add me to all the lists you’d like. I’m afraid you’re a bit late to the game, but your time is valuable, so just doing my best to help you out here.
This has been a PSA.
This point cannot be emphasized strongly enough.
It is a pervasive theme of Trump’s second term in particular, and accurately places Nidal Hasan’s proposed public execution in the same overarching political and ideological context of DHS messaging, ICE raids, campaign messaging, and so much more.
Ignore it at our collective peril.
PSA: it’s unwise to lecture me about ISIS, political violence, propaganda, what loss means, and moral superiority.
I will wipe the floor with you, gladly.
ISIS murdered MY very much innocent friends in snuff film propaganda films, intended to incite endless apocalyptic conflict between the West and Islam.
Bigoted idiots in the US fell for it hook, line, and sinker — and the right wing spread those images everywhere in a gross, cynical, racist, fearmongering bid for electoral power. My professional expertise is political violence and terrorism.
Miss me with shallow, superficial, uninformed bullshit like this, because I actually know — extremely well — what I’m talking about.
@ramonferrandis Indeed. Muhammad very much stressed he was NOT God, and Muslims are NOT to worship the Prophet, or any other human being above the Divine.
You’re 100% right.
Wow, I’m shocked this person is utterly ignorant (in a generous assessment). “Shaheed” doesn’t mean human sacrifice, bigot. It’s from the Arabic root د ه ش, meaning “to witness.”
Spewing inaccurate bullshit because you hate Muslims doesn’t make you a champion of freedom — you’re the exact type of person ISIS propaganda was made for.
They’ve recruited you to spread their message, and you’re too blinded by hatred and fear to see that you’re just a useful idiot and tool of the insidious forces you claim to oppose.
Sickening and sad.
Lecture someone else, because I ain’t the one.

As someone whose friends were beheaded by ISIS on video, it's a strange feeling to see all the comparisons between Nidal Hasan's planned public execution and ISIS propaganda.
Many are on point, but the *deeper* implications of those parallels (and divergences) are much more disturbing than most of you recognize.

Historian of fascism here. This is an escalation of an attempt to normalize extreme violence, ritualize violence, militarize the country, and make violence entertaining so when they ask you to commit violence in their name, you will be ready.
Just wrapped up an interview w/ Washington Post about the Nidal Hasan “live-stream execution” announcement (Fort Hood), ISIS propaganda, atrocity porn, and other disturbing realities.
Unsure how helpful I was — COVID brainfog still in effect — but did what I could.
Will post link once the article goes live.
