Hasan Enjoyed Strippers, Witness Says

A devout Muslim man and U.S. Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people at Fort Hood last week liked to indulge in lap dances during visits to a local strip joint, the club's manager told FoxNews.com.

"The last time he was here, I remember checking his military ID at the door, and he paid his $15 cover and stayed for six or seven hours," Matthew Jones, general manager of Starz, told the Web site of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.
Starz is located just down the road from one of Fort Hood's entrances and does not provide alcohol for its customers, though they are allowed to bring their own beverages.

"I remembered his face because it was the first lap dance I [gave] to a customer while working here," Jennifer Jenner, a stripper at the club told Fox News. "When I saw his face [Friday] on TV, I jumped out of bed, I knew it was him."

Jenner said Hasan was dressed casually - jeans and a t-shirt - stark contrast to portraits of Hasan's acquaintances who say he dressed often in Islamic garb when not in his military uniform. She said the night she encountered Hasan he only sipped from a beer and gave the rest away.

He preferred the blondes," said Jenner, who had dyed blonde hair when Hasan was at the club. "He said he was a medic and that he was being deployed soon, but mostly he wanted to ask us questions."

"He asked us why we were working at the strip club, if we liked the lifestyle, if we had any kids," she said. "It was right before Halloween so he asked what our kids were dressing up as. He just wanted to know a lot about us."

Please google ""911 attackers strip joint"". You will find this is EXACTLY the behavior exhibited by the 911 attackers...recent obsession with sex prior to their martyrdom.

This planet would be so much nicer if 90% of the male humans disappeared.
We can start with Hasan and continue to the idiots who would not let him out of the Army.

Since Nidal invoked the name of "Allah" as a prelude to his opening fire does that mean that he had a religious motivation? If yes, should we give him a Quran if he asks for one between now and whenever?

He was looking at all the naughty ladies not dresed head to toe in robes, got a mini boner, and then decided to shoot innocent people? This sick bastard should've died that day, but at least we now know why he did it...

I take serious exception to an article like this. Do not disparage a criminal defendant by unfairly prejudicial commentary (strip clubs). He has to face a court of law and make the army prove its case against him beyond a reasonable doubt without the smear campaign. I would also observe that the army that hired him should be investigated as well as the post commander who failed to secure his post and who did not place off limits a strip club to protect his young and impressionable soldiers.

First, he won't be tried in a civil court, he will be tried in a military court.

Second, they really cannot sentence him to death, he is already considered a "hero" for islam, a death sentence will make him a martyr. Better to send him to Leavenworth Kansas and make little ones out of big ones for the rest of his life.

Third, strip clubs near the entrances of bases are a part of the local economy.

Fourth, as for reasonable doubt, I am sure the army has plenty of witnesses, say at least 20 or so, that can/will testify against him.

lastly, you sound like a complete idiot, I do hope you were joking.

Those who defend murderers are asinine and incomprehensible... How is telling the truth about this hypocrite muslim "unfairly prejudicial" ?? ... I don't think the Army will have a problem proving its case against this murderer. "Smear campaign"...?? ... This monster has "smeared" himself and doesn't need any help with that! ... He deserves the firing squad and nothing less. "young and impressionable" ?? ... you've got to be kidding! Those who defend such an evil person have "serious" character problems.

What's ridiculous is describing somebody who visits strip joints for lap dances as "devout". As in the lead sentence for this article, "A devout Muslim man...liked to indulge in lap dances during visits to a local strip joint." Muslim or Christian or Jew, a devout man does not go to a strip joint for a lap dance. A hypocritical religious lunatic might do so, however.

And to respond to missme4, yes, most men do enjoy naked women, though that does not mean they like to visit strip clubs and brothels.

Hmmmmm... pretty devout Muslim, I'd say. First the murder of 13 people, now this. Way over the top. He's sure to get a severe reprimand now.

Hypocrite. Their women have to be covered head to toe, yet this guy who was apparently plotting to kill Americans first chance he got, was out ogling naked women. Wow, now we have to be careful of our own soldiers plotting to "kill the infidels".
