The shooting at Fort Hood which left 13 dead was a terrorist attack. There is no other way to accurately describe what occurred at Fort Hood on Thursday, November 5, 2009. Information that has now come to light about the alleged shooter, U.S. Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan, show that while Hasan may have been mentally unbalanced, his attack was politically motivated by his adherence to the most extreme forms of Islam.

I have a hard time believing the Army didn’t try and deal with this guy. I’d lay odds that the word to leave this guy alone came from the top (Obie).
Zero...Jumps all over the Cambridge police and calls them “stupid” before getting the facts. However, a Muslim kills 13 innocent people and Zero tells us not to jump to conclusions....F-U BHO!
Notice how many stories are Muslim related?
Do a search using the words “honor killing”.
Notice how many stories are Muslim related?
Call me a bigot, racist xenophobe - whatever. But I see a pattern emerging!
And the fact that our own government denies (lies) that there is a clear link to the pseudo-religious cult named Islam and terrorism makes me wonder if our own government is complicit.
(Please spread the word)
“We demand that those Soldiers killed or wounded in the Fort Hood terrorist attack all be awarded the Purple Heart!”
Force the Chief of Staff to say YES or NO!
The attack at Ft. Hood was treason. The attack at Ft. Hood was jihad. But was it terrorism? The traitor, motivated by, one common interpretation of the Quran, alas, within the mainstream of Islamic jurisprudence, attacked soldiers, not civilians. Terrorism involves civilian targets, not merely cowardly acts of war: it is a tactic specifically directed against democratic polities, intended to induce surrender or policy changes by creating fear in the population at large.
Insisting on calling it "terrorism" is part and parcel of the already-too-PC nonsense of a "War on Terror". We are at war with the salafist sect of Sunni Islam (which includes Al Qaeda and the Taliban), and in a cold war with the "Hastener" sect of "Twelver" Shi'ite Islam (the Iranian regime), not with "Terror", nor even with terrorism. (As some have noted "War on Terror" is as stupid a turn of phrase as it would have been to call the Pacific War during WW II the "War on Naval Aviation".)
We are not at war with Islam qua Islam: there have been no attacks on the United States or Western interests by "Sevener" or "Fourer" Shi'ites. The "Twelver" Shi'ites who look to Ali Al-Sistani as their marja or "point of reference" are, by and large, our allies in this war. Likewise we have many Sunni allies--mostly joining our side after experiencing life under the salafists, whether in the Sunni regions of Iraq that fell briefly under the control of Al Qaeda, or in Afghanistan after experiencing Taliban rule.
Unfortunately, a combination of political correctness (mostly of the oh! please, please, don't call me a racist! variety) and the undoubted fact that we do have Muslim allies in the present war (and the future one against the "Hasteners"), and arguably need them to prevail, prevented authorities from noticing or acting on the fact that Major Hassan had gone over to the enemy and become a salafist. (The bizarre lecture at Bethesda, his no photos with women stance, and his continuing contacts with his salafist imam all support this conclusion.)
The military and our society need real understanding of Muslim culture, not a kumaya-singing PC multiculturalist 'tolerance and respect' pseudo-understanding, nor the equally-absurd "Islam is a death-cult" dismissal of all Muslims as enemies, but understanding that can sort out Muslim theological and cultural tendencies and notice which ones pose threats and which ones are our natural allies.
No Muslims in the military is a nonsensical position. No salafists in the military is prudent policy.
agree
Great post.
The fact that Hasan had "a role" in Obama's transition has been shoved under the carpet. Nothing to see here. I brought this up days ago as a possibility but nobody in the media has picked it up that i know of.
I haven’t seen this fact mentioned anywhere.
Not even Fox is reporting it. Maybe they’re trying to get back in the godd graces of the Obama cabl.
somethings wrong with the picture that’s for sure. This should be a HUGE red flag and any “journalist” worth their salt should be looking into it. Unless there are threats out....
Including reporters, military personnel, scientists and Democrats, to name a few.
I agree with an ability to identify the threat and well articulate that which we oppose, however, since Obama does have a Muslim upbringing, and identifies his strengths with the ability to bring communities together, might there also be an unspoken incentive beneath his lack of such discernment in his handling of the armed conflict in Asia?
I suspect Islam is far more tenacious and odious than merely one or two particular violent sects.
