‘It’s a humiliation ritual at this point’: Fort Hood hosts Ramadan event years after deadly Islamist terror attack

On November 5, 2009, U.S. Army major and psychiatrist Nidal Hasan fatally shot 13 people on military base Fort Hood and wounded more than 30 others. The mass shooting goes down as the deadliest on an American military base and one of the deadliest terrorist attacks on American soil since September 11.Now, that same Texas military base once targeted by Islamic terror is celebrating Islam — and BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales can’t believe it.“The Fort Hood Religious Support Office and Fort Hood Muslim Community warmly invite all to an evening of fellowship, reflection and community as we break the fast together during the month of Ramadan,” a social media post reads, before explaining the religious tradition more in depth.“I actually love that it says, ‘The annual observance of Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam.’ Islam, the thing that’s incompatible with our way of life, with Western civilization, with this country,” Gonzales comments on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”“So, here’s the question I have, OK? Tell me this. If a Muslim is supposed to be faithful to Islam and Islam calls its followers to destroy those who do not follow Allah, ... how can a Muslim be in the U.S. military?” she asks.“The only excuse, the only reason that I could figure is those of you who might say, ‘Well, there are some peaceful Muslims. Well, there are some nice Muslims. Not all Muslims mean us harm,’” she says. “I would say it stands to reason that the only Muslims who would be capable and not dangerous to serve in our military would be bad at their religion, right?”“This is a humiliation ritual at this point,” she continues. “And I’m not saying that I have all the answers, again, but I would like to pose the question: Does this seem like a disaster waiting to happen to anyone else?”Want more from Sara Gonzales?To enjoy more of Sara's no-holds-barred takes on news and culture, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

ICE arrests child-diddlers and ecstasy traffickers while Dems try to 'score brownie points,' DHS says

The Department of Homeland Security criticized the left-wing media for overlooking the fact that most immigration arrests involve illegal aliens with prior charges or convictions.The department highlighted Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Thursday arrests of pedophiles and other criminals in a press release exclusively obtained by Blaze News.'Instead of trying to score brownie points, sanctuary politicians should be thanking our law enforcement officers.'Meanwhile, the DHS has remained without funding for one month, with Democrat lawmakers refusing to vote to reopen the agency without stringent reforms to ICE. On Thursday, senators voted for the fourth time against a bill that would fully restore funding to the DHS."Yesterday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested more criminal illegal aliens convicted for sexual conduct against a child, sexual assault, conspiracy to distribute narcotics, and other horrific crimes," the Friday DHS press release read.Immigration agents captured Jose Mendez, an illegal alien from El Salvador who was previously convicted of sexual conduct against a child in Mineola, New York.RELATED: 'Heinous' thug accused of shoving 83-year-old military vet onto NYC subway tracks was deported 4 times, charged 15 times: DHS Jose Mendez.

'Refuse illegal orders': Billboard near naval base echoes call from 'seditious' Democrats

An anti-war veterans' group has paid for a billboard near a California naval base to advise U.S. military members to refuse to follow "illegal orders" from the government.The billboard echoed the message from six Democrats in a November video that was excoriated by President Donald Trump as "seditious." At one point he seemed to warn that they could be put to death over the video.'To suggest and encourage that active-duty service members defy the chain of command is a very dangerous thing ...'"The San Diego Veterans for Peace, Hugh Thompson Memorial Chapter #91, is very pleased to announce … a billboard reminding active-duty troops that they have a duty to disobey illegal orders," read a statement from the group.The billboard appears near the entrance of Naval Base San Diego in Barrio Logan and reads, "Active Duty & National Guard: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders."A spokesperson for Veterans for Peace said the group is rolling out billboards with the same message near military bases throughout the U.S.Despite the brutal rhetorical attacks from the president as well as War Secretary Pete Hegseth, the U.S. attorney's office reportedly dropped the effort to indict the six Democrats over the video.Hegseth also sought to revoke military benefits from Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, a veteran and one of the Democrats in the video, and warned that he could face a court-martial. That effort was also thwarted by a judge, who said it threatened to chill the free speech of other military veterans.RELATED: Trump ally drops effort to prosecute Democrats over 'seditious' video, sources say Defenders of the "illegal orders" message say they are merely reiterating what is in the U.S. military code. Critics say they are encouraging troops to commit sedition. "To suggest and encourage that active-duty service members defy the chain of command is a very dangerous thing for sitting members of Congress to do," said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt previously. "And they should be held accountable." According to its website, the Veterans for Peace group was founded in 1985 and advocates against war as a policy solution for nations.Like Blaze News?

Florida 20-year-old accused of giving birth in toilet, watching newborn drown, burying baby in back yard bonds out of jail

The Florida 20-year-old accused of giving birth in a toilet, watching her newborn drown, and then burying the baby in her back yard has bonded out of jail.Anne Mae Demegillo was granted a $250,000 bond and must follow conditions such as turning over her passport, wearing a GPS monitoring device, and having no contact with any minors, WESH-TV reported.'It baffles me, to be completely honest. Sometimes you can't explain everything.'The station noted that during the bond hearing, Flagler County Sheriff’s Detective Shannon Smith testified that "I did ask her, if knowing what she knew now during our interview, if she could go back 48 hours and change how she handled the outcome of this, if she would change it, she said she doesn't believe that she would."Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said Demegillo admitted to watching the baby drown and cleaning up the blood after giving birth in her bathroom, WFTV-TV reported: “She did tell us that she was hoping that the baby would hurry up and die."WESH said the state argued for no bond, citing Demegillo as a threat to the community and a potential risk for destroying evidence. But Demegillo's attorney, Michael Politis — who acknowledged that "there is something obviously that is off" regarding his client — argued that "there's no diagnosable mental condition ... but I think as far as the community and the danger to the community, I don't think this is. This is an isolated episode," WESH reported.Records show Demegillo bonded out Thursday afternoon, and WESH cameras caught her quickly walking — and then running — away from the jail and ignoring reporters' questions.RELATED: Florida female, 20, gives birth in toilet, leaves newborn girl there, waits until baby 'stops crying and moving,' cops say Demegillo last week claimed she thought the infant was deceased, so she hid the infant in a duffel bag in her closet and went about her normal daily routine, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office said.When Demegillo returned home last Thursday night from a theater performance in New Smyrna Beach, she buried the deceased infant in a shallow grave in her back yard, officials said, adding that at no point did Demegillo contact emergency services for assistance.Chief Deputy Joe Barile of the sheriff's office noted to WESH in a previous story that "it baffles me, to be completely honest. Sometimes you can't explain everything."The newborn girl weighed three pounds, six ounces, and measured 18 inches long, WESH reported added.Demegillo faces aggravated manslaughter charges, WESH said. But the station noted that the state attorney's office said it expects to file more charges against her, including tampering with evidence.Like Blaze News?
