A Muslim soldier, Nidal Hasan, shot dead 12 soldiers and a civilian at Fort Hood yesterday, shouting the Muslim expression “Allahu Akbar.” But in an absurd display of political correctness, media reports barely mentioned the religion angle, choosing instead to highlight the fact that the killer was an “army psychiatrist” or the false claim that he was a veteran with PTSD (which he wasn’t: he never even served overseas). Oh, those violent psychiatrists!

Now, we read that he had previously said that Muslims should rise up against the military, “repeatedly expressed sympathy for suicide bombers,” and engaged in hate-speech against non-Muslims, publicly calling for the beheading or burning of non-Muslims, and talking “about how if you’re a nonbeliever the Koran says you should have your head cut off, you should have oil poured down your throat, you should be set on fire.” But nothing was done to remove him from a position where he could harm others...

...in the military, soldiers get punished for bigotry all the time — except for this guy. The courts have held that hate-speech or speech that “discriminatorily harasses” others can generally be criminally punished in the military, unlike in the outside world, and accordingly, white supremacists get disciplined for their views.

Hey Hassan, I don't believe in your pagan moon-god and I think islam's ideology is a scourge on the Earth.

Bite me.
