Fort Hood - A Deliberate Act Of Terrorism!

[Warph]

We now know from the testimony of various eyewitnesses that this act was carefully planned.  Nidal Malik Hasan some time ago told his landlord he would not be renewing the lease on his apartment.  He gave away his furniture along with copies of the Qur'an on the morning of the day he committed mass murder.  This indicates that he thought he was going to die.... in other words, that he was planning a suicide attack.  As he began firing, he shouted "Allahu Akbar."

We also know that he was disciplined for proselytizing for Islam during his stint at the Uniformed Service University of the Health Sciences.  Law enforcement officials flagged Internet postings written by a man named "Nidal Hasan" and he was praising suicide attacks, but they couldn't be sure that he was the man who had written them.  Still, it was in character: one of his colleagues recalled that he had said that Muslims must rise up against the U.S. military, and had spoken approvingly of Sgt. Hasan Akbar, a Muslim soldier in the U.S. military who lobbed a grenade at American troops, killing two, several years ago.

And we know that during a lecture he was supposed to be giving on a medical topic, he instead preached Islam, warning the assembled unbelievers of hellfire in such lurid Koranic terms that some left the hall wondering if he might end up shooting someone someday.

Why does the Media and Liberal-Left so reflexively deny and ignore these conclusions?  Because they are completely sold out to the idea that Muslims, as non-white, non-Christian, non-Westerners, cannot possibly be anything but victims.  (The facts that there are white Muslims, and that the jihad doctrine and Islamic supremacism are not racial issues, but constitute an ideological and societal challenge, are completely lost on them.  Likewise the non-white victims of the jihad matter nothing to them.)  We can see from the avalanche of "backlash" stories in the mainstream media... even in the absence of any actual backlash.... that it is simply impossible for these people to conceive of a paradigm in which Muslims can perpetrate any kind of evil at all.  In the lenses through which they view the world, only white Judeo-Christian Westerners can do anything wrong.

Does this massacre, and the media response, indicate about what is coming down the line for our country?  The more we remain in denial about how these things happen, and from what wellsprings they come, the more we will see of attacks like this.  Why?  Because nothing is being done to prevent them.  Instead of the endless stories about backlash that we are seeing, we should be seeing stories about authorities calling the American Muslim community to account.  We should be seeing stories about authorities demanding transparent, inspectable programs in American mosques and Islamic schools, teaching against the Islamic doctrines that inspired Nidal Hasan.  This is not a religious freedom issue – these are political doctrines with a lethal edge, as Nidal Hasan illustrated.  It is an entirely Constitutional matter of self-protection to move to restrict it.

But I'm  afraid that won't happen.  Political Correctness has the media and government and the MILITARY in a stranglehold.  That will only ensure that nothing will be done to address this problem at its root, and we will see many more Nidal Hasans.

Hardly had the final shots been fired at Fort Hood and hospitals were filling up with the wounded that the media rushed to assign blame for the massacre, not of course to Nidal Malik Hassan, who had opened fire aiming to kill as many soldiers as possible, but on the US Army and on his fellow soldiers.

Completely ignoring his Islamic ideology and Palestinian Arab background, the media speculated that he might have been suffering from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, even though he had never served in a combat zone, that he was angry over being deployed to Iraq, even though he had a history of pro-terrorist postings predating that, and finally that he had been bullied by other soldiers for being a Muslim, a claim that has since emerged as completely baseless.  All of these however were ways of shifting the blame from Nidal Hassan and his Islamist ideology, and onto his victims, the men and women he had tried to kill, and the United States Army itself.  Once again the media apparatchiks had decided that blame for a Muslim killing spree rested not with the perpetrator, but with his targets.

If Muslims follow a predictable pattern in their homicidal attacks, their Western Dhimmi apologists follow an equally predictable pattern, always willing to shift the blame onto anything and anyone, but the killers themselves and their hatefilled ideology.  It's never Islam.  Never the Koran.  Instead it's always the general unfairness of our foreign policy, our flagwaving and our obstinate refusal to let Muslims have whatever part of the world they have their sights on today.

Once again, they kill us and yet somehow we're the ones to blame.  Because we didn't love and nurture poor Nidal Malik Hassan enough.  We didn't install enough foot baths, respect his religion hard enough and worst of all we presumed to make war on his brothers who had murdered thousands of us on September 11.  That of course is our original sin, fighting back.

As we speak the media talking heads are still furrowing their great weary brows, scratching behind their ears and wondering, what could the motive possibly be.  The FBI, which has no doubt gone through more sensitivity and tolerance sessions than Nidal Hassan spent with his ass in the air at his local mosque, is of course also searching hard for a motive.

Currently some of the talking heads (Chris Matthews in particular) are peddling PTSD by Proxy, to avoid the minor problem that Hassan had never actually served in combat.  Should this brand of lunacy take hold, it would allow anyone and everyone who has been near people who might have conceivably had PTSD to claim PTSD by Proxy as if it were a cold virus passing through the air.   Somehow this is made to seem more logical than that Nidal Hassan tried to kill a number of soldiers because he believed that his religion commanded him to do this.  An event that had already occurred before and for which we have the evidence of his own words praising suicide bombers as heroes.

Thomas Kenniff, a former JAG who tried to bring some logic to the subject in his appearance on Larry King, was denounced as a racist for pouring cold water on the attempts to sell PTSD by Proxy as the motive, instead pointing to Hassan's radical beliefs.  For this Krud OlberClown denounced him as the Worst Person in the World.  Thomas Kenniff's crime was to interfere in the narrative that Larry King and just about everyone was trying to sell, of Nidal Hassan as another example of a worn out and overstressed US Army in which all the soldiers are on the breaking point.  And good ol' Dr. Phil was leading the pack.

By ignoring the fact that 66 percent of the deliberate attacks within the US military by other soldiers, have involved Muslims... the media is engaging in blatant deceptiveness.   Unless Muslims somehow suffer from a form of PTSD more severe than non-Muslim soldiers, or unless Muslims comprise 66 percent of the US military... both false statements.... it is obvious that the question of Islamic beliefs should be investigated as central to these acts of violence.

But PTSD is still the narrative the media insists on going with, and will insist on going with, even if Nidal Hassan comes on TV tomorrow and proclaims that he did it all for Allah.  That is because PTSD fits the liberal narrative of blaming the media and exonerating Hassan specifically and Islam in general, while indicting the US and the military.  It turns Hassan into a victim, and his victims into either co-victims or perpetrators.

Meanwhile the dominant narrative will be Nidal Hassan's suffering, his pain and his agony.  Not that of his victims.  All lies that will reveal that the media knows quite well why he did it.  Had Nidan Hassan's name actually been Michael Smith, and had he actually been suffering from PTSD, the media would not be spending all this time defending him and exploring his pain.  He did not simply commit his crimes because he is a Muslim, the media is defending him because he is a Muslim and in particular a terrorist.

These sorts of apologetics for terror have a long and shameful history for western liberals.  When Hitler sent his troops goosestepping along, it wasn't his fault, but that of British and French Imperialism for oppressing the German people.  Only when German troops attacked the homeland of socialism, the USSR, did they finally wake up long enough to get in front of the troops, until the war was over, and then American soldiers once again became the brutal occupiers who were preventing Western Europe from being "liberated" by the glorious Red Army.

Stalin too was never to blame for anything, it was all the Western spies and capitalist agents who were constantly trying to subvert the Great Socialist experiment who were at fault.  And how could one blame Stalin for killing millions of them, when they kept popping up everywhere, doing such subversive things as eating, breathing and smiling at the wrong time.  The same great heroes of Western Liberalism who put pen to bloody ink in advertisements supporting the Moscow Trials, would defend every Soviet atrocity and wail that American nuclear missiles were endangering the world.  Not Soviet nuclear weapons of course. Never.  Those were only a defensive response to Western imperialist aggression.


When the armies of four Arab nations (3 out of 4 of them run by Arab Socialist regimes, two of those being Baath Party dictatorships) prepared to invade Israel and "drive the Jews into the sea", the same liberals who would spend the next forty years after that war wailing about the plight of the Jordanians and Egyptians who had colonized Israeli territory and now found themselves inside Israel, aka the Palestinians, remained absolutely silent.  The prospective genocide of millions of Jews only two decades after the Holocaust did not trouble them in the least.  The Israelis were the ones to blame for presuming to build a country that the USSR and its Arab Socialist allies wanted to destroy.

Nazism and Communism are down for the count, and Arab Socialism is being rapidly replaced by Islamism.  And the Islamists are the new murderers who are somehow always the victims.  Always.

When a car bomb goes off in Kabul, the media quickly rushes to brush off their talking points about negotiating with the Taliban.   When Muslim pirates take hostages, we're told that it's only because the poor dears are hungry and fighting against pollution, making them the world's first Islamic Pirate Environmentalists.  When four airplanes are hijacked and aimed at national landmarks, naturally it's because of Muslim outrage over the long list of things they're currently outraged about.  When rockets are fired at Israeli villages, clearly it's Israel for not making as many concessions to terrorists as everyone in the "world community" and various British labor unions thinks they should be making.

It is of course never the terrorists' fault.  Heaven forbid.  Ours is but to die and take the blame for the actions of our murderers.

wow, you really hate muslims.  maybe you need counseling.

Tell me, When christians blew up the fed building in Oklahoma city, and working at the state department, you should know that the majority of terrorist attacks against americans are committed by Hispanics who are mostly catholic, did you write similar stuff? 

I'm going to go ahead and assume that you didn't say a word.

Warph is just calling a spade a spade.   Shrug.  Need to pack em all up

[Anmar]

Well, its too early to really call it anything other than a stupid act of senseless violence.  I personally am not going to make up my mind about what happened until the army/FBI or whoever finishes their Investigation and makes some announcements.  I trust them much more than i trust the media to give the correct Info, and they haven't said a lot of the things that are in Warphs little rant.  What he's written comes from "the mainstream media" that you all hate so much.

I guarentee you the main stream media wouldn't touch what I wrote....

[jarhead]

Anmar,
Do you really beleive the crap you write or are you just saying it for the sake of an arguement ??

[Anmar]

I believe it.  I didn't really say anything other than i want to see what the Army and FBI says, so I'm not sure what you're getting at.

With that being said, I think with veterans day coming up, I'm going to be worried mroe about the victims than the guy who did it.  I have faith in the Army to handle him.

Firing squad. Treason during war time.

[jarhead]

No Diane, That sounds too easy. Don't you think" hanging by the neck until dead " would work on his sick mind better ?
