...like the cavalry, the FBI came riding to the PC rescue. The Federal Bureau of Let’s Skip the Investigation pronounced that the killing was not terrorism. Forget about Islamic (or at least Islamist) terrorism. This mass murder wasn’t even terrorism.
The FBI and the rest of our Islamophilic government have their story, and they’re sticking to it. The terrorists’ siege on our nation has nothing to do with Islam. It is the work of al-Qaeda, and al-Qaeda terrorists — so the catechism goes — are not true Muslims. Sure, Osama bin Laden & Co. accurately quote Islamic scriptural injunctions to wage jihad against non-Muslims. But never mind that: Islam is an irenic, unmitigated good; in fact, it is one of our best weapons against terrorism.
Come again? If all the terrorists are Muslims and all the terrorists say scriptures that plainly command killing are inspiring them to kill, how could Islam be an asset? Don’t go spoiling a feel-good theory by asking a lot of questions — that would be almost like an investigation, and when it comes to Islam, the FBI doesn’t do investigation.
If it did, it might stumble onto all sorts of things we’d just as soon not know. We’d have to start acknowledging that Salafist ideology (the strain of Islam endorsed by the Muslim Brotherhood and Sunni terrorist organizations) is prevalent in American mosques.
We’d have to concede that beliefs we optimistically call “radical” are actually quite mainstream among American Muslims and predominant among Muslims overseas — including the beliefs that sharia (the law of Islam) should govern the United States, that Muslims must resist American military and law-enforcement operations against other Muslims, that the U.S. military presence in Islamic countries renders American soldiers and those who support them legitimate targets of jihadist terror, and that Israel, America’s democratic ally in the Middle East, should not exist.
Obviously, this reality of Islam defies the government’s wishful fiction. So the FBI doesn’t do Islam. It does politics. And if you’re going to do politics, you can’t do preventive counterterrorism...
IT’S TERRORISM! Everybody knows it. Only liberals are saying stupid s#!t like “murder is murder”. BS!
Better yet... CRIMINALIZE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.
“Only liberals are saying stupid s#!t like “murder is murder”.”
Yet hypocritically passing “hate crime” laws.
Liberalism IS a mental disorder.
Oh how right you are Sal.
murder is murder, but some murder is more murderous than other murder.
Hold every one up the major’s chain of command who enabled him; criminally liable for his murderous conduct. They are gutless traitors all.
Bullseye!
Time for a new movie remake:
“Dial M For Terrorism”

Army sought ways to channel Hasan’s absorption with Islam
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2384871/posts
No, it is not. It is an act of war. Terrorism is using violence against civilians. An enemy combatant masquerading as a friendly killed and wounded a number of our soldiers. This is war, not terrorism. There cannot possibly be terrorism against a military force.
That does not make it any less serious. On the contrary. War is a very serious business. When someone is making war on you, you cannot choose to ignore it. You can fight and win or surrender.
It is important to be precise in our choice of words, because words and ideas are powerful. They can shape the discussion and ultimately impact our decisions.
Good point. It might even be easier to convince people of that rather than calling it terrorism.
What that says to me is that the Army has been infiltrated by muslims who have brought the war right smack into the Army itself. IOW, not only is the Army at war with an external enemy, it's a war with an internal subversive enemy. Which i didn't realize until some days ago. Now in retrospect it seems like a no-brainer. The Army knew this was going on but kept it hidden from us. I wonder how far and broad this internal war is.
As far as being precise in our words, it's easier said than done sometimes. Remember, we are still figuring this all out. It's not like we're getting help from anybody in the army or govt. So cut us some slack.
Saudi columnist Muhammad bin 'Abd Al-Latif Aal Al-Sheikh published two articles in the Saudi daily Al-Jazirah, in which he attacked the ideology of the Al-Salafiyya Al-Jihadiyya movement.
He said that the ideology of this movement was similar to, or even worse than, the Nazi ideology, and that it should be dealt accordingly.
...both ideologies share hatred of the other and [the goal of] eliminating through his physical extermination – and they have many other common denominators as well." ~~~~~~~~~
Main points by Saudi columnist Muhammad bin 'Abd Al-Latif Aal Al-Sheikh:
"Why Aren't We Fighting the Religious Scholars, Theoreticians, and Preachers of Terrorism like Criminals, Murderers, and Robbers?"
Muslim Clerics Are Not Fulfilling Their Duty in Fighting Terrorism
Why in the name of God [do we show] all this gentleness, forgiveness, and a tendency to 'speak gently' when it comes to terrorists, while [we show] extreme blatancy and harshness when it comes to women, for instance?..."
"Al-Jazeera Has the Greatest Media Impact on Shaping, Spreading, and Strengthening This Dangerous Trend"
"Why shouldn't we learn a lesson [of the Potsdam] experience, which had the greatest impact on the uprooting of Nazism from the world?... Imagine that the way of dealing with statements by Al-Salafiyya Al-Jihadiyya… was comparable to the West's way of dealing with Nazism. Would a [TV] channel, like Al-Jazeera, for example, dare to spread this ideology and to relate to statements by its leaders and preachers in the spirit of 'point/counterpoint' and 'freedom of speech'?
LOL

Military jihadists fill ‘every branch’; Ultimate 5th column penetration
warns best-selling ‘Muslim Mafia’ author
Posted: November 06, 2009
The report strongly suggests that Islamist spies have penetrated nearly every sensitive U.S. security agency involved in the war on terror, potentially compromising intelligence government-wide.
“Persons participating in this activity move regularly between multiple contracting companies, various intelligence agencies in the U.S. government [FBI, CIA, DIA, NSA, etc.], and every branch of the U.S. military.”

Investor’s Business Daily editorial:
Jihad’s 5th Column
Posted 11/06/2009 07:27 PM ET
War On Terror: The Fort Hood terrorist is being portrayed as an “anomaly,” an “aberration,” a “lone wolf.” Sadly, he’s just one of many examples of jihadist traitors in the ranks of the military.
Together they form a dangerous Fifth Column, and the Pentagon — thanks to institutionalized political correctness — is doing next to nothing to root them out.
Instead, brass are actively recruiting Muslim soldiers — whose ranks have swelled to more than 15,000 — and catering to their faith by erecting mosques even at Marine headquarters in Quantico, Va. More, they’re hiring Muslim chaplains endorsed by radical Islamic front groups, who convert and radicalize soldiers.

FBI says Hasan was not involved in terrorist activities
By Guillermo Contreras - Express-News
The FBI said Thursday that it appears Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan acted alone in the Fort Hood shootings, and was not involved in terrorist activities when a joint terrorism task force crossed paths with him last year.
“At this point, there is no information to indicate Major Nidal Malik Hasan had any co-conspirators or was part of a broader terrorist plot,” the FBI said in a statement. “The investigation to date has not identified a motive, and a number of possibilities remain under consideration.
We are working with the military to obtain, review and analyze all information relating to Major Hasan in order to allow for a better understanding of the facts and circumstances that led to the Fort Hood shooting. Understandably, there is a large volume of information in various forms, and it will take us some time to complete this work.”
