The Fort Hood shooting suspect's religion is not the point (Who saw this coming?)

Nidal Malik Hasan, the suspect in yesterday's Fort Hood shootings that killed 13 and wounded 30, identifies as a Muslim.

Much has and will be made of his religion from people too ignorant to read a Qur'an, or too isolated to talk to a Muslim, or too stubborn to educate themselves. Even the Washington Post calls him a "devout Muslim." But can a "devout Muslim" commit such acts? No more than a "devout Christian" can, no.

Two seperate things:

1. The Constitution is great

2. Some have been and are working against it

#1 is not belied by #2

So the fact that he yelled “Allahu Ahkbar!” while pulling the trigger doesn’t mean anything. I’m sure many non-Muslims have done the same. Well, except for that “Allahu Ahkbar” thing. /*sc

Someone should tell the Hartford Courant and the rest of the media that it was “murder”, not “killing”.

Ignorant Susan? I'd say these are lessons learned at great cost. A cost too great to repeated for purely politically correct reasons. "Ignorance" is not learning from actual history Susan.

It is if he shouted "allah akbar" before he started shooting.

"No religious or political ideology except islam could ever justify or excuse such wanton and indiscriminate violence."

Correction it “was” great but many have claimed to work for it while working to undermine it, but if you read it deeply you can find the seeds of tyranny, the very tyranny we are being choked with today, I think you maybe don’t understand that due to the limitations it has been undermined and intrepreted in whatever way suites any tyrant, it has in fact been intreprested to benefit corrupt government, which tells me that since it appears only words on paper it can also be thought of as a contract with dead people, dead people that rule us from the grave, as Lysander Spooner might have said.

“Religion of Peace my Ass.”

In reality it’s the “religion of pieces.”

I was able to get one post in:

RV's Koran quote to educate Susan Campbell

I tried to post another comment, with references to possible connects of the massacre at Fort Hood to the Muslim Brotherhood network, but it seems like Susan censored it.

Oh well, it's her blog...

FTR, I essentially left the same comment on this bozo's blog and it was rejected.
