'''Stephen Coughlin''' is a lawyer and former Joint Chiefs of Staff intelligence analyst who was in effect fired by the Pentagon at the request of [[Hesham Islam]] who has since been suspected of being an Islamic terrorist sympathizer.<ref>http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article.aspx?id=515712</ref> Coughlin's warnings that the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) is affiliated with the terrorist group [[Muslim Brotherhood]] led Hesham Islam to call him "a Christian zealot with a pen."  Subsequently, the [[Joint Chiefs of Staff]] did not renew Coughlin's contract as an intelligence analyst.<ref>http://www.aina.org/news/20080122133358.htm</ref> In ignoring Coughlin's warnings dramatically emphasized by its January 2008 termination of Coughlin, the Pentagon turned a deliberate blind eye to the reality of [[Islamic terrorism]] (i.e., the actions of then United States Deputy Secretary of Defense [[Gordon R. England]]), leading directly to [[Nidal Malik Hasan]]'s November 2009 [[Jihad|Jihadist attack]].<ref>[http://blog.cagle.com/2009/11/13/us-military-ignored-glaring-islamic-threats/ "U.S. Military Ignored Glaring Islamic Threats"].
