On Thursday afternoon, a radicalized Muslim US Army officer shouting "Allahu Akbar!" committed the worst act of terror on American soil since 9/11. And no one wants to call it an act of terror or associate it with Islam.
What cowards we are. Political correctness killed those patriotic Americans at Ft. Hood as surely as the Islamist gunman did. And the media treat it like a case of non-denominational shoplifting.
This was a terrorist act. When an extremist plans and executes a murderous plot against our unarmed soldiers to protest our efforts to counter Islamist fanatics, it’s an act of terror. Period.
When the terrorist posts anti-American hate-speech on the Web; apparently praises suicide bombers and uses his own name; loudly criticizes US policies; argues (as a psychiatrist, no less) with his military patients over the worth of their sacrifices; refuses, in the name of Islam, to be photographed with female colleagues; lists his nationality as "Palestinian" in a Muslim spouse-matching program, and parades around central Texas in a fundamentalist playsuit — well, it only seems fair to call this terrorist an "Islamist terrorist."
But the president won’t. Despite his promise to get to all the facts. Because there’s no such thing as "Islamist terrorism" in ObamaWorld.
And the Army won’t. Because its senior leaders are so sick with political correctness that pandering to America-haters is safer than calling terrorism "terrorism."
And the media won’t. Because they have more interest in the shooter than in our troops — despite their crocodile tears.
Maj. Nadal Malik Hasan planned this terrorist attack and executed it in cold blood. The resulting massacre was the first tragedy. The second was that he wasn’t killed on the spot.

Micheal Savage tonight on his radio show, has pointed out that a local police woman stopped him with four shots. She took a shot through both legs. His point was why are there no armed MP’s on base?

Mass shootings/killings have been part of our society for a long while now... On and on it goes...
Ann Coulter, we need you!
from article:
But when do we, the American public, knock off the PC nonsense?
A disgruntled Muslim soldier murdered his officers way back in 2003, in Kuwait, on the eve of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Recently? An American mullah shoots it out with the feds in Detroit. A Muslim fanatic attacks an Arkansas recruiting station. A Muslim media owner, after playing the peace card, beheads his wife. A Muslim father runs over his daughter because she’s becoming too Westernized.
Muslim terrorist wannabes are busted again and again. And we’re assured that “Islam’s a religion of peace.”
Ralph Peters is on O’Reilly right now. He is really telling it like it is...political correctness killed those people at Fort Hood. Peters says that the killer should have been kicked out years before but wasn’t because he belonged to a group that was protected by political correctness.
We have all know that political correctness would lead to tragedy, now it is indisputable.
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS KILLS !!!
This is refreshing to read. Truth is nice.
I haven't been to a military installation yet where the military police and the contracted security were not armed.
I believe the police officer was a contractor working at Ft. Hood.
Muslim terrorist wannabes are busted again and again. And we’re assured that “Islam’s a religion of peace.”
Although the Islamo-fascist idealogy called "Islam" is working overtime to take up whatever slack we have left (whenever we don't shoot ourselves first in our own society) -- it can't seem to catch up to "us" yet...
We still seem to do better than the Islamo-fascists by killing ourselves in this society faster than they can kill us, unfortunately.
So, even if we were to eliminate that Islamo-fascist idealogy and threat, we would still be our own greatest enemy -- nonetheless.
I'll say what I said in another post for those Islamo-fascist terrorists...
Well..., as far as I’m concerned, the military shouldn’t allow practicing Muslims in. If you let the enemy in, you’re going to get attacked from the inside. It only makes sense.
Furthermore, the U.S. should outlaw the Islamo-fascist government idealogy that people refer to as Islam — because it’s a foreign government/entity designed expressly for the overthrow of this country and its system of government, and thereby — illegal.
But, that would be way too smart for them to do that... so what can I say?
If not a contractor, then a civil service police officer working at Ft Hood.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
Its my understanding that Obama has raised the number of Muslims allowed visas to enter the US. I think that is also a problem "Diversity Visas" and "Religious Visas": Importing Jihad
marked to read
What I’m talking about in “letting them in” — is in terms of not letting them in the military. This shooter (yesterday) was born here and was a citizen of this country... even though he is/was a Muslim (is he dead yet...? LOL...).
On page 261 of his book “The Audacity of Hope” our elected President provides us with a precise answer to these questions: “I will stand with them [the Muslims] should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
Muslim terrorist wannabes are busted again and again. And we’re assured that “Islam’s a religion of peace.”
The really sad and inexcusable thing about this whole idea of the "religion of peace" -- is that on the very ashes of the Muslim terrorist attack on 9/11 -- our very own Republican President, George Bush, was promoting that very idea, about Islam being a "religion of peace". As far as I know, he's never gotten off that "mantra" of Islam being a religion of peace.
In addition, he always kept saying that Muslims and Christians worship the same God -- which to anyone "who knows" (about that) it's a totally ridiculous idea.
So, when our own Republican leadership perpetrates that idiotic and totally false idea (virtually almost every day), how can anyone expect the Democrats to do any different than that?
Raila Odinga's favorite cousin sounded more like a member of Black September than the President when the subject of Israel came up.
I am not exaggerating, because he referred to Israel as "the occupation."
He spoke like a f'ing PLO terrorist representative.
From his speech:
"...we continue to emphasize that (America) does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements..."
Unfortunately our very own President Bush set the wrong example in that line of thought..., by supporting their entry into the military instead of booting them all out like he should. And he continually said, in public (virtually all the time) that Islam was a “religion of peace” and that Muslims and Christians worship the same God (a totally ridiculous idea for anyone who really knows...).
What we see is that if the Republicans can’t “get it right” — I don’t know how anyone can expect a Democrat to get it right... LOL...
As for myself, I’ve never departed from what I know about Islam from the beginning — even as far back as 1998 and in regards to what Stephen Emerson let the public know about them (and the danger they represented).
Of course, we knew about that danger of the Muslims as far back as 30-plus years, too. President Reagan was “well-informed” about that (and those Marines killed in their barracks in Lebanon).
apprently the guy said that he was a muslim first and then an american citizen.
says it all right there.
