“The most disturbing aspect of last week’s Fort Hood shootings — aside from the horrendous loss of life, of course — has been the triumph of political correctness in the analysis of Maj. Nadil Hasan’s motives. Many “experts” have assiduously avoided the obvious cause: Hasan’s fundamentalist, radicalized Muslim views.

A man runs into a room of unarmed people and starts firing away while shouting ” Allahu Akbar” ( “Allah is Great”). He has had frequent arguments — many of them extremely heated — with several fellow officers in recent years over the alleged stupidity and immorality of the West’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He expressed public agreement with the Koran’s exhortations to kill infidels, justified suicide bombings, attended a radical Virginia mosque, sought permission from superiors to have Muslim-American soldiers exempted from service in Middle Eastern wars and, among other things, attempted to make contact with al-Qaeda recruiters.

Yet many analysts and commentators have ignored this evidence and put forward, instead, shallow war-psyche diagnoses they seem to have copied from M*A*S*H episodes. Most centre around the theory that Hasan snapped under the pressure of his forthcoming deployment to Afghanistan.

But even if Hasan was driven to mass murder because he could not bear the idea of serving in a war zone, the cause of his breakdown was his Muslim-ness, not battle stress. The implication of those making these excuses on Hasan’s behalf has been that the thought of facing deadly fire in combat was too much for the major.

But, of course, that is not it at all. He couldn’t face the notion of having to serve in an army he saw as persecuting his fellow Muslims, so he struck back at that army before it could ship him out to a place he believed it should not be. His belief in the teachings of Muhammad trumped his sworn duty in the U.S. Army.

Still, the first instinct of White House and U.S. Army spokesmen, as well as most CNN, CBC, BBC, MSNBC and other analysts, has been to deny any connection between Hasan’s murderous deeds and his faith.

Imagine if a fundamentalist Christian soldier had shot up a room full of unarmed Muslims while shouting “Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour.” Imagine he had a fascination with Old Testament stories of how God smote his followers’ enemies. His pastor had advocated a new crusade to rid the Holy Land of non-Christians. He had hung out at a survivalist camp for a cultish group of white supremacists who claim a Heaven-sent mission.

These self-same commentators who are struggling so mightily now to overlook the religious aspects of Hasan’s crime would be first in line to insist that Evangelical Christianity was inherently violent and demand something be done to rein in this hateful theology.”

“It is one thing to be tolerant of others’ views and beliefs, so long as those others are respectful of your creed and ideology in return. That has long been a hallmark of our pluralistic democracies. It is still. No matter how bad human rights commissions, Toronto Star columnists or special interest cause pleaders may claim discrimination is in Western societies, tolerance is and always has been at its greatest in the West.

The trouble with political correctness is that it doesn’t require that others be respectful in return.

When others with different beliefs attack us, political correctness goes further. It takes tolerance to a culturally suicidal degree by denying that others hate us despite our respect for them.”

Abdi, if that is his real Muslim name, is a moron. Religion of peace, lmfwhiteao. The link above by the way, its about a Muslim conveying a message of peace here in Australia, and the way Sheik Haron is conveying that message, well lets just say the guy has more balls than brains, and perhaps even a death wish.

As for the Fort Hood thing, the FBI has stated that it wasn’t a terrorist attack, but only because there wasn’t more than one terrorist involved in the attack. That’s what I think anyway, that and the fact that the army and the U.S. government will go out of their way to avoid labeling this a terrorist attack to look out for the best interests of Muslims, which by the way is totally beyond me as to why they would do that. Like does anybody think a Muslim would go out of his or her way to protect our best interests? By “our” I am referring to us, the “Infidels of the West.”

This is a terrorist attack and while nobody wants to call it that, perhaps when the death penalty is on the table for Major Hasan, he’ll want to go down as a martyr and admit that it was a terrorist attack, but that it was one that he planned and implemented on his own after seeking permission from a cleric to carry it out. I hear that Hasan hooked up with an whack job cleric in New York not all that long ago. Ya think he might have been asking permission to carry the Fort Hood attack out, because I certainly think so.

Secondly, saying that Islam is a religion of peace in the manner in which you make that point. aah yeah right buddy…You sound like you’re really into that peace thing.

And lastly, what are you going to do about my spreading hate for a peace-loving people, blow me the f*** up?

You’re an idiot mate. Lies against Islam LMFWHITEAO…So like Islamists aren’t deliberating going out of their way to kill innocent people with acts of terrorism, is that what you are saying?
