Hasan has come under fire for his comments, most recently his takes on the Israeli-Hamas war. Hasan has frequently blamed Israel for the rise of Hamas.
Back in 2009 Hasan called non-Muslims “animals” and compared homosexuals to “pedophiles” and “sexual deviants.”
Just recently Hasan tried to diminish the magnitude of 9/11 terrorist attacks by needlessly equating the overthrow of the Chilean government in 1973 to the deadly attacks, garnering backlash.
