[null and void]

So there is no value to having a full public and well publicized verdict that explicitly states:

1) Islam requires its adherents to murder non-muslims.
2) That is not a legal defense.
3) Islam is a murderous suicide cult, an active, terrorism promoting, organized crime ring and an hostile political organization masquerading as a legitimate religion.

A quiet ruling, with no airing in open court and avoiding months of lively public discussion suffices.

I want Hasan hanged or shot, and I want that foul cult he loves exposed rooted out and burned.

You seem to be content if that little green leaf, Hasan, is plucked from the tip of a distant tendril, and the strangling vines it grew from remain fully intact and unexamined, as long as all the pro-forma minutia of the law are followed.

It's not allah 'bout Hasan. The root cause desperately needs to be addressed.

American judges are bound by the law. This judge can't willy nilly open an investigation of the Islamic religion or all Islamic terrorists. And that is a good thing. That is up to elected representatives, such as Congress and the President, not unelected judges.

I don't know why you ascribe motives to me that I do not have. I have supported a global war on Islamic terror since 9-11. I am not one of the people dismantling that effort and I did not vote for them. I disagree with the Administration's refusal to label Hasan's murders an act of terrorism, which deprives victims and their families of compensation they should be entitled to. Your beef isn't with me or the presiding judge.
