The second they heard about the Fort Hood massacre, millions of thinking Americans wondered in their gut: "Oh God, is this another crazy Muslim terrorist carrying out a one-man jihad, as has happened so many times before?"
Then, when the alleged perpetrator's name and religion were made public (Nidal Malik Hasan, a lifelong Muslim) along with eyewitness reports he had shouted the obligatory pre-terror-attack proclamation, "Allahu akbar" ("Allah is greatest") before commencing his orgy of slaughter, their suspicions were confirmed: This was surely a major attack on the American homeland by a Muslim terrorist. Further evidence quickly rolled in: Hasan had reportedly refused to fight fellow Muslims, called the war on terror a "war on Islam," told a co-worker Muslims had a right to rise up and attack Americans, and reportedly had posted online his astoundingly twisted belief that an Islamic suicide bomber was morally equivalent to a soldier throwing himself on a grenade to save the lives of his comrades.

Response: It is not only Islam. All forms of social harm are not being resisted.

Depending on the definition one uses, this may not qualify as terrorism.
Most definitions emphasize the civilian nature of the target. This was a military target.
There are lots of other negative terms to use to describe it: murder, treason, betrayal of one's salt, etc.
7. For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.
8. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.
9. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders,
10. and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
11. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie
He still purposely picked an unarmed crowd.
Kind of a grey area between a civilian and military target there.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If we’re ever attacked by Xenomorphs from outer space, Democrats will be on their side simply because America is the enemy in the eyes of the Democrats.

And that couldn't possibly be his own fault.
Couldn't be that he was an angry prick who denigrated his country to everyone around him, who like him had sworn an allegiance to serve faithfully.
I don't believe in PC either!
Is it possible that Americans are really just a bunch of rebels who delight in acting independently of a central governing force?
Go figure.
surpressed dislike of homosexuality?

I think it’s benefited by having a President who spent his formative years in a muslim country as a student in muslim schools.
I think this is a much bigger issue than, “Was he really born in Hawaii.”
The Director of the FBI and The [so-called] Attorney General should be called on the carpet and summarily fired for dereliction of duty and incompetenece!
1. Islam is not only a spiritual practice, but is also a political exercise and a governmental institution.
2. Islam is, therefore, in direct conflict with the system of law that governs our nation. It would also be impossible for any Muslim who strictly adheres to Islam as a spiritual practice, a political exercise and a system of government to swear to defend the Constitution of the United States
3. Dr. Hasan’s understanding of his faith is at the core of his dissatisfaction with his employment resulting in his decision to take up arms and commit fratricide against his brothers and sisters at arms and treason against the United States of America.
4. Unless, or until, Islam in America disavows any allegiance to the political and governmental branches of the practice of the faith, there should be no tolerance of the religion in the military. This is not due to bigotry but, rather, to the violation of conscience that results from the deeply held faith that conflicts with the Constitution and the oath to protect it.
5. Neither Christianity, nor Judiasm, nor Hinduism, nor Buddhism requires the practitioner to swear allegiance to any other form of government in order to practice the faith.
6. It is, therefore, only logical that to be a Muslim is a direct conflict of interest and a violation of conscience regardless of whether the practitioner makes the decision to take up arms against our nation or commit criminal acts.
7. To say that Dr. Hasan’s acts are not the result of his religious beliefs is disingenuous. To say that in order to not be guilty of bigotry one must overlook the obvious conflicts of conscience engendered by the practice of Islam is ludicrous and without merit.
8. It is time to speak truthfully regarding the practice of Islam. It is a religious practice that is in direct contradiction of our system of government and will continually cause strife and distress while it remains a political exercise and system of government.
9. No insult or bigotry is intended by this observation. It is a simple and direct assessment of the current state of affairs in all countries that have historically been referred to as “Western Civilizations”. The practices of Islam and Western Civilization are incompatible.

Leftists are. The are bed buddies. They import them anywhere they are needed to destroy the culture of the target country.
Thing is, it works. The real battle will come when they each have nothing to gain from using each other.
