Ft. Hood Islamist Murderer Countenances Murder of Muslims
Maybe some of our readers can help me out on this. You see, I’m a little confused about the actions of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Islamist radical who murdered thirteen Americans at Ft. Hood earlier this week.
We read that he feared deployment to Afghanistan because he didn’t want to fight Muslims, yet we also read that he celebrated Islamist suicide bombings.
So, here’s where lies my confusion. Most of those murdered by said suicide bombings are Muslims. So, he’s concerned about an army which fights with some Muslims on behalf of other Muslims, yet celebrates Muslims who murder Muslims in cold blood?
UPDATE (from Bruce): ABC NEWS — US Officials Aware of Hasan Efforts to Contact al Qaeda. But, no. This wasn’t an Islamist terror attack on US soil. Noooooooooooooooooooo.

Dan, you are confused by the actions and reasonings of a murderer of twelve persons? And you’re expecting this to make sense, and not be inconsistent?
If you want to try to make some sense of this, here’s an attempt. He may celebrate the killing of other Muslims who don’t agree with his worldview of what Islam should be, and what the way of the world should be. And he apparently doesn’t realize that even if he is right about the Muslims who were killed, that it is still wrong to do so.

This nut had multiple troubles, one of which I’ve not read about yet.
Not wanting to deploy to Iraq or Ashcanistan to not fight muslims?
He was a psych. Doctor. Not A Combat Position.
And, if 0bama was doing his job correctly, his trip to Iraq would be a very non-combat tour.
Violence there has only just stepped back up because he is not responding, or helping the Iraqis respond.
But even still, the guy should never have heard a shot fired in anger. . . unless he waited to do this over yonder.

Evil and insanity go together.

If you are not a troubled person, you can’t ever wrap your head about their actions.
However, why did he join the Army? Free education!!!!! You have to eventually pay for that free education. Word to the wise, if you can’t pay the price do not sign up.
Much more screening of ethic persons needs to be done before they are allowed to join the US Armed Forces.

I think serial killers are boring. I don’t want to waste any time trying to figure out their motives. I don’t care about cancer’s motives either–I want to get rid of it.
I think that’s why Fargo is a better movie than Seven. Marge Gunderson did her job without trying to get into the head of the killer. In Seven, if you try to figure out what the killer is doing, you end up becoming the killer.

Why don`t you call him the terrorist that he is?
Comment by Robbie — November 8, 2009 @ 6:33 pm - November 8, 2009
Oh, dear… where’s my fainting couch?! Robbie has used the “T” word – he must’ve not received the memo.
The unfortunate events at Ft Hood were a man-caused disaster (kind of like Obama’s election was a voter-caused disaster).

Hasan is a member of a growing fifth column in this country hell-bent on enforcing dhimmitude. And it’s working.
The media coverage has been delusional (news reports from major news outlets that omit his Islamist beliefs); many dhimmis (us) have made an effort to close our eyes and ears to the obvious (a Ft Hood officer’s wife saying that it’s too bad that the killer wasn’t named “Smith”); headlines in the press like “Shooting Raises Fears For Muslims In US Army”); and a military that PROMOTED this guy from Capt. to Major _after_ his rantings became known.

Despite the fact that the media would like to make this murderer terrorist appear to be insane. He is very sane, he knew exactly what he was doing.
It’s not war he’s against, he’s not against murdering muslims, what he is for is murdering Americans – that trumps all.
IF he can murder the most honorable among us, those who will protect us, the military than this terrorist feels all the better about murdering these people.
It is that simple.

These types can serve openly, while we can’t. Of course, our presence would be disruptive. But not his? WTF?

The Major committed a simple act of violence. Now the neo-pseudo-sophisticates in the babble/opinion/”journalism” set have to delve into the reasons the Major went ballistic.
As a distant citizen reviewer of the details I have come to the following conclusions: 1) The Major acted alone; 2) He most likely reloaded his weapons in the process of firing multiple rounds; 3) He aimed to kill and he was largely successful.
If I am correct, I am not the least bit interested in knowing his demons. I am interested in preventing his demons from ever being unleashed again.
Also, I want to know how he made the rank of Major and why he was unleashed on the mental health of troops if he showed any signs of having psychological problems himself.
This business of examining our society to find the origins of his problems is useless self flagellation as well as looking through the wrong end of the telescope. It seems all so typical of the liberal mindset. A cretan arises in our midst and we immediately respond by trying to discover what caused the cretan, rather than to act upon the immediate signs of trouble. It is sort of like making sure the TSA harasses everyone in an effort to avoid profiling.

Hasan Linked to Sept. 11 Hijackers

First of all, I agree with Leah. She is spot on with her analysis. The man was sane, and I doubt that he was under any stress. If he had been showing signs of stress then his colleagues at Ft. Hood would have filed a report about his behaviour.
Second, I now agree that Hasan was working alone, but he had influence over others at Ft. Hood. I was reading something about a recent convert to Islam by the name of Duane who was a protoge of this man…..
Third, when he was in Washington at the Walter Reed Institute he attended a mosque that was very, very radical. In fact the Imam from that mosque is now in Yemen where he continues to advise would be murder-suicidists about their actions. Details are not all that hard to discover about this Imam. The mosque itself is tied to two of the terrorists who committed murder-suicide on the date of 11 September 2001. It is possible that Hasan knew these people and was influenced by their actions.
Fourth, a number of people have come forward with information about the beliefs of this man, including a Muslim who argued with him about the meaning of Jihad. It would seem that this other Muslim was wrong in his interpretation of the meaning… but that is another story.

By the way, as a straight person with connections to the military, I want to note the following about the attitude towards gays in the military, an attitude that I think is changing over time.
The problem dates back a very long way, and it was always seen that people who were homosexual would be unsettling for other soldiers when it came to being in the battlefield. Other reasons that were given include the potential for blackmail that would cause them to turn traitor…. but I do not know of any cases where that might have happened. I can think of a few names that might be worth investigating but these were not military types, rather they were secret agents…. one of those names is Kym Philby.
What I am seeing is that a lot of the suspicion has begun to disappear and that there is a more general acceptance of the situation. So long as there is no overt behaviour then it should remain a non-problem.
However, the other issue that is raised (one that increases my sympathy for gays as far as military is concerned) is the way in which political correctness has allowed men like Hasan to serve in the military, thus endangering the lives of all military men and women. This latest in a series of events within the last 12 months should serve as a reminder that people who want to join the military need to have a thorough background check. I would go further and suggest that it means that men and women who come from specific ethnic and religious backgrounds (this man was an American born citizen of Jordanian parents – who were Palestinian) should be either excluded from the military or they should undergo a thorough examination of their beliefs i.e. what they understand as jihad and how they understand the Koran.
During the second world war Japanese-Americans were interred. Here in Australia we also interred people from Japan and Italy and in the first world war we interred people from Germany (thankfully my great grandfather was already dead when WWI broke out). Unfortunately for some reason the powers that be have not been able to see the possible problems associated with allowing people with such a background as that of Hasan to be admitted to the military in the first place.

Crazy is Crazy, no matter the reasons why he did it!!
Comment by Douglas Fender — November 9, 2009 @ 7:56 am - November 9, 2009
Hassan was driven by the same logical fallacies that drive every fundamentalist freakjob.
The same that drive an anti-war protestor to use violence.
The same that drive a pro-lifer to use violence.
No matter the religion, ethnicity and value system, lunatics are the same across the world.

gillie- when was the last time you recall a Christian killing thousands of people by flying planes into buildings? Or shooting fellow soldiers on his Army base?
Just askin’
Enough with the moral relativism, bub.
Comment by Bruce (GayPatriot) — November 9, 2009 @ 10:24 am - November 9, 2009
I don’t know about you guys, but Obama’s “shout out to Chief Medal of Honor *WINNER* and, oh, by the way, a dozen soldiers were killed ” speech topped off by his “let’s not jump to conclusions” address is making me feel safer already!
Comment by Sharp Right Turn — November 9, 2009 @ 10:39 am - November 9, 2009
gillie, if every mass murderer is simply a lunatic why do we even bother having courts? Just send him to the psychiatric ward, do away with prison cells for murderers.
I think you misunderstand the definition of insane. This terrorist functioned very well in the world, did his job, went to strip clubs, bought beer.
He made a calculated decision and followed through, methodically shooting and killing people. He went back and shot the wounded, this isn’t an insane man.
Despite what the left has taught you all these years, being evil isn’t being insane.
Comment by Leah — November 9, 2009 @ 11:36 am - November 9, 2009
Huh?
Dan asked the question about how could he opperate under such bad logic.
I was not talking about Christians or his mental state, only logic.
(But I do think he is a lunatic- not sure if that is leagal sanity or not)
Comment by gillie — November 9, 2009 @ 2:36 pm - November 9, 2009
Guys, I’m having a pretty bad week. My job is stressing me out, my CHECK ENGINE light is lighting up on my dashboard, my credit card balance is higher than I’d like it to be and my parents didn’t hug me enough when I was a child. I think I’m going to go to the local shopping center and shoot a bunch of people. (Does anyone see anything wrong with this picture?)
Comment by Sharp Right Turn — November 9, 2009 @ 4:08 pm - November 9, 2009
Is it wrong for me to question the honor of some military officers?
I heard some Army officer (captain?) compare Hasan to other soldiers who might be under similar “stress”. (What stress? the stress of getting a medical eduction at our expense?). We hear that some of his colleagues were reluctant to speak up because they fear retribution for failing to celebrate diversity. And General Casey worrying about backlash (Ft Hood: Islamists 13; kafirs 0).
When do you stand up for the men and women in your command and say enough of this PC BS?
It would be interesting to see what George Patton would have thought about all of this.
Comment by SoCalRobert — November 9, 2009 @ 11:20 pm - November 9, 2009
Patton would have run him over with a tank. Problem solved.
Comment by The_Livewire — November 10, 2009 @ 2:58 pm - November 10, 2009
So, the difference between jihadis and gays in the military is that the one group is content to just blow their comrades? No need for “up” and “away”?
Comment by Jax Dancer — November 10, 2009 @ 5:23 pm - November 10, 2009
General Casey:
So tell me… what is it about Gays that is so much worse that it justifies DADT again?
