Cluelessness Abounds as Judge in Fort Hood Case Considers "Relevance" of "Jihad"

Notwithstanding that notorious holy war Power Point presentation and the shooter having shouted "Allahu Akbar!," the traditional warrior-4-Allah battle cry, as he opened fire at an infidel military base, the judge presiding over the Nidal Hasan trial is to rule on whether or not to allow the prosecution to raise the subject of jihad and the defendant's obvious interest in it. And in case you're unfamiliar with the foreign word/concept, the AP report helpfully explains that "jihad" is "a Muslim term for religious war or struggle."

Hey, thanks, AP. But for you I might have thought it was something else--a type of foodstuff, say, like shawarma.
