Chris Matthews: We may never know if religion was a factor at Fort Hood
Hot Air ^ | Nov. 6, 2009 | Allahpundit

Well … yes, that’s true, if you think anything short of Hasan sitting up in his hospital bed and declaring “why, indeed, religion was a factor at Fort Hood” amounts to irresponsible speculation.

But here’s what we’ve got so far, according to eyewitnesses, colleagues, and friends.

He considered the war on terror a “war on Islam” and himself a Muslim first and an American second; he thought Muslims had the right to stand up to the “aggressor” in the Middle East and is suspected of posting things online about the selfless heroism of jihadist suicide bombers; he was placed on probation for proselytizing about Islam to patients and colleagues and was sufficiently devout that he refused to have his picture taken with women; he once used a lecture at a medical conference as an opportunity to discuss how the Koran orders decapitation for infidels; and, oh yes, he yelled “Allahu Akbar” before opening fire.

Now, per the media’s favored Narrative, could a guy with that background have somehow compartmentalized that in his mind and been driven to kill entirely by pre-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD by proxy or whatever?

I guess. Anything’s possible. But would the same benefit of the doubt be given to a nut trending towards fanaticism of a different ideological hue?

Like I said yesterday on Twitter: You’ll know it’s okay to start speculating about Hasan’s motives when cops find a Glenn Beck book on his bookshelf.

yea OK

he only shouted allah akbar while doing it
he was known for his radical Islamic views, his writings on websites etc

I can’t believe anyone is dumb enough to think this was not a terrorist action done in the name if Islam

Yeah, it would be a total horse of a different color, if he had been reading Glen Beck’s book, but because he is Islamic, it’s off limits to even comment on it. Americans need to do some serious PROFILING.

It's hard to believe how some people will whore themselves to toe the PC line. Chrissie Boy just keeps outdoing himself since he was struck by the incurable restless leg tingling syndrome.

I’d like to see the results of a Rasmussen poll on this one.

Last year i was disappointed with how stupid so many Americans were on election day- I think they might do a little bit better this time.

So let me get this straight Chrissy Matthews, a guy wearing muslim garb from head to to, give away all his belongings and passes out the Quron to neighbors, goes on Islamic extremist web sites and talks about muslims fighting the aggressors and how heroic suicide bombers are, goes into an army base, screams Allah Akbar before shooting a bunch of people, you don’t know if religion had anything to do with it LOL LOL..Ok man..now I understand how you were able to get a job in the Carter Administration..did you wear matching “I’m with stupid” T-shirts
