The massacre at the Fort Hood Army base was a shocking and deplorable act. Thirteen unarmed soldiers were killed and 38 hurt at a secure army base by one of their own, a medical doctor and trained psychiatric who was supposed to heal them of war traumas. It appears that Major Nidal Malik Hasan himself needed a shrink. I pray for the peace of the departed souls; for strength and courage to their families and love ones to bear their irreplaceable loss and for the quick and full recovery of those who were hurt in this terrible carnage.
While Hasan’s horrific act of violence at Fort Hood should not be used to hold the Muslims and Islam responsible for his deplorable and terrible killing spree, this incident needs a thorough investigation. If the reports of Hassan’s alleged web postings, rationalizing and glorifying suicide bombers are correct, his may itself be such an act. Let the facts come out. Treating or spinning this incident as another crazy act for the sake of political correctness will be a blunder and very dangerous.

The spin coming out in certain sectors of the media is outrageous. They want to make it about ANYTHING but the possibility this guy is a cold blooded murderous religious zealot on a mission.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, no one is buying it.
Maybe, just maybe the guy has some genuine mental disorder. But it is just as likely that he is a jihadist.
Let's face it, there are more like him in our midst.
I'm glad to see rational, non-fanatic Muslims stepping up to the plate here...disassociating themselves from him...and even questioning the veracity of the claim that he was victimized.
