The Fort Hood shooting suspect's religion is not the point (Who saw this coming?)
The Hartford Courant ^ | November 6, 2009 | Susan Campbell

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.

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

Okay. Is it just me, or is this damned idiot living on another planet, in another universe, in a different dimension?

Oh, wait...she writes for the Hartford Courant. Never mind. She is from Connecticut.

Journalism schools must offer a minor in Apologetics. No matter what the situation, or how clear the motives, you can spin it to be something else. They never let the facts stand in their way.

The fact that the guy had a history as a radical muslim and was shouting 'Allah Akbar' as he murdered people apparently doesn't phase these idiots when it comes to making excuses.

Don’t forget Sgt. Akbar in 2003. That event was the most similar, IMHO, to this one.

Susan, you ignorant person. His religion is the WHOLE point. His belief in Islam WAS the driving issue behind his murders.

Read the Quran??? I have... and NOT THE ONE that CAIR hands to Tourists and Stupid Liberals.
and what this bright young man did in Texas Yesterday, is called for IN THE SAME QURAN that we are too STUPID to READ..

allah akbar = BON SAI (for those of you with public education, Japanese cry of victory,used during WWII)

"An American Carol" made fun of this STUPID-ASS ASSERTION.

They are the ones who need to read the Koran. They only hope the rest of us never do, then everyone would know that the Koran tells Muslims to murder the infidel. And how do they expect to fool people into believing his religion had nothing to do with the murder, when he yelled "Allah Akbar" or however it's spelled when he started shooting?

A lot of people saw this coming. They had intel on the shoter, they failed to act. WHY? Afraid of the Obama line of opening up our nation to Muslims.

I say that every Muslim in the US military needs to be reviewed as a potential security risk.

I believe Bon Sai is a little tree.

Bonzai! is a warcry.

Just a coincidence that he is a Muslim and shouted “Allahu Akbar” as he started shooting.

They can spin this and put all the lipstick they want on it. We all know this was a jihad against the military. And we knew it immediately after it happened. The media thinks we're all stupid. Let them keep thinking that as they fade off towards irrelevance. The internet is the real time news source. I'll stick to FR and Drudge.

It's a barfer from the first sentence: "identifies as a Muslim." See, he's not really a Muslim, he just calls himself a Muslim! That's a big difference, people!

In fact, if a tidbit from a thread yesterday is correct, given the chance to "identify" his religion, he very deliberately and fraudulently did not check the "Muslim" box.

And a "professed" religion? Whatever hair-splitting she did in the first sentence, pretending that a "professed" religion leaves one wiggle room, is hair-splitting-squared.

This is the drum, and patriotic conservatives need to beat it and beat it and beat it. Get these people out of our military, and furthermore, get them out of our country.

This could be a key to next years elections.

The politically correct brain numbing deconstruction of western civilization has successfully now killed rational discussion about black crime and corruption, women’s issues, illegal immigration of non whites and homosexual deviance.

Will it succeed in squashing unpleasant truths about Islam?

probably..

It will take a cataclysm to shake this notion from the narcotic haze of anti-white, anti-Christian, anti-male revisionism whereby the empirical truth in plain site is eschewed in favor of fantasy that suits ill designed, self serving, blissfully unaware, truly bigoted mythologies.

Islam, A Religion of Peace: Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution of Muslims is worse than slaughter of non-believers...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah." Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement" Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them" Bukhari (52:177) - Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him." Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared," Kill any Jew who falls under your power." Ibn Ishaq: 327 - “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’” الاسلام هو شر لا مثيل لها ، ويجب القضاء عليه

It most certainly IS the point!

Just as the pilot of the Air Egypt flight shouted Allah Akbar before crashing the plane on a suicide mission. And what were we told about that? He had financial problems and was distraught.
