KILLEEN, Tex. — Leaders of the vibrant Muslim community here expressed outrage on Friday at the shooting rampage being laid to one of their members, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who had become a regular attendee of prayers at the local mosque.
But some of the men who had befriended Major Hasan at the mosque said the military should examine the policies that might have caused him to snap.
“When a white guy shoots up a post office, they call that going postal,” said Victor Benjamin II, 30, a former member of the Army. “But when a Muslim does it, they call it jihad.

It’s “vibrant” for two reasons. 1) Open borders and 2) Army recruitment. Anyone should be able to figure that out.
Isn’t jihad the Muslim word for going postal???
Ding! Ding! Ding! The post of the day!
Sick of the excuses being made to justify and or explain how Major Hasan seemed to be compelled to do what he did.
There was no such compulsion.
If he was that conflicted about his coming deployment, he could have gone UA/AWOL/Missed a movement. Believe me THAT would have gotten the Army’s attention.
No, his interpretation of his religion’s requirements may have been the source of the stress he was under. But in the end, Major Hasan choose what he did and what he did was commit murder, pure and simple.
I understand he is now back at an Army hospital in San Antonio. I wish him the very best in terms of recovering from his wounds. I want him to get well so the Army can court martial and then execute him. Unfortunately, the federal government uses lethal injection. I’d prefer to see him hang.
The difference dear Victor is that white guys typically don't shout out "Praise Jesus" while they are gunning down their fellow citizens.
PLUS the key to all of this is that the KorAn FORBIDS a Muslim from supporting ,assisting etc, anyone that fights and possibly kills Muslims. WHAT ABOUT THAT DOES THE MEDIA NOT UNDERSTAND.
Wait until some judge rules that Jihad comes under the protection of the 1st Amendment. You can be assured that this concept has been studied by CAIR and the ACLU for years.
Normally when “White guys go postal” they aren’t heard yelling “Allah AkBar”
BTW I am sick of the politically correct journalists saying he yelled “God is Great” when he didn’t. They think it might sound less evil if they translate it into English?
the military should examine the policies that might have caused him to snap
I agree. We should examine the policies of islam and we will see why he did this.
The Muslim communties’ silence in not outright condemning any act like this done even on the thinnest possiblility of being religiously motivated is deafening. Unless and until that community proactively preaches against these acts their “protestations” are meaningless. Notice that in all of their protestations, they never once say that anyone in their community acting this way is in fact condemned to hell. Their condemnations are nothing more than thinly veiled whinings about how others react negatively to these events. In my mind, that is the same as approval. Their choice is easy. Actively clean out your own house, or get out of ours. Now.
Islam should not be classified as a qualifying religion in this country. It should rightly be classified as an infectious disease and dealt with accordingly.
When a “white guy goes postal” yelling God is Great, wearing a Christian robe, I’ll call it what it is.
Til then. STFU.
Victor Benjamin II: Wait, wait, let me guess. He found Allah in prison or Leavenworth.
And this is why you should all be stripped of your citizenship and moved to the islamic crap hole of their own choosing.
“To my knowledge, no white guy has ever shot up a Post Office yelling “Christ is risen” “
For some reason, that made me laugh out loud. :)
God defeated Allah at Fort Hood.He also did not let Hasan die to gain a seat next to his perverted god.
Political Correctness is used to keep America blind to what actually goes on inside a Mujihads heart mind. The left has worked so hard at making sure that America does not see its war against Terror as a religious war, when in fact the enemy sees it as EXACTLY that. A religious war.
This is , as Bush said, a war against evil. And evil came to Fort Hood in the form of a jihadi who was in fact possessed by Allah.For me this incident has shades of the movie “Exorcist.”
And Good has triumphed, even though so many innocents died.
This truth of which we speak needs to me shared with America as much as possible.America needs to know of the evil which it faces, at long last. No matter what the left want to make of it.
The religious practice of the Mujihad needs to be explained to every one. There is an inner prayer designed to connect one with the self righteous energy of Allah, who literally takes over the body and mind of the jihadine.Thats what happened here.A kind of Muslim spiritual possession.Hasan was not insane, or deranged. He was just fired up on his prayers and energized.He was executing a religious ritual which he believed would open the gates of heaven for him.
The MSM will not properly inform the public about this religious practise of jihadism.It would no longer be a war on terror,The terrorists could no longer be redefined as “criminals” by Obama , who according to him should be Mirandized with the benefits of due process, that Bush had made sure to remove, as deserved.
And its time even for the Fort Hood Muslims to come clean about it.
