Sudden Jihad or Inordinate Stress at Ft. Hood?
FrontPage ^ | 11/9/2009 | Daniel Pipes

Posted on 11/08/2009 10:24:36 PM PST by Saije

When a Muslim in the West for no apparent reason violently attacks non-Muslims, a predictable argument ensues about motives.

The establishment – law enforcement, politicians, the media, and the academy – stands on one side of this debate, insisting that some kind of oppression caused Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, 39, to kill 13 and wound 38 at Ft. Hood on Nov. 5. It disagrees on the specifics, however, presenting Hasan as the victim alternatively of “racism,” “harassment he had received as a Muslim,”...

Instances of Muslim-on-unbeliever violence inspire the victim school to dig up new and imaginative excuses...

* 1990: “A prescription drug for … depression” (to explain the assassination of Rabbi Meir Kahane)

* 1991: “A robbery gone wrong” (the murder of Makin Morcos in Sydney)

* 1994: “Road rage” (the killing of a random Jew on the Brooklyn Bridge)

* 1997: “Many, many enemies in his mind” (the shooting murder atop the Empire State Building)

* 2000: A traffic incident (the attack on a bus of Jewish schoolchildren near Paris)

* 2002: “A work dispute” (the double murder at LAX)

* 2002: A “stormy [family] relationship” (the Beltway snipers)

* 2003: An “attitude problem” (Hasan Karim Akbar’s attack on fellow soldiers, killing two)

* 2003: Mental illness (the mutilation murder of Sebastian Sellam)

* 2004: “Loneliness and depression” (an explosion in Brescia, Italy outside a McDonald’s restaurant)

* 2005: “A disagreement between the suspect and another staff member” (a rampage at a retirement center in Virginia)

* 2006: “An animus toward women” (a murderous rampage at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle in 2006)

* 2006: “His recent, arranged marriage may have made him stressed” (killing with an SUV in northern California in 2006)

That's cause they all went down the memory hole.
Once the FCC does the Internet thing Free Republic and Frontpage will go down the hole also.

Dr. Pipes has been studying Islamofascists for a LONG time.

From Daniel Pipes (March 14, 2006):

...This is what I have dubbed the Sudden Jihad Syndrome, whereby normal-appearing Muslims abruptly become violent.

There was NOTHING sudden about it. He made Jihad speeches against America AT MEDICAL CONFERENCES.

Yeah, it couldn't possibly be exactly what they say it is: Following this damned book to the letter:

Quoting the Koran manual of murder and mayhem:

Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution of Muslims is worse than slaughter of non-believers...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."

Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"

Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"

Bukhari (52:177) - Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."

Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared,"Kill any Jew who falls under your power."

Ibn Ishaq: 327 - “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”

Let me ponder this for a moment. Ok, I pondered it. I choose sudden jihad. Am I correct?

Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs also writes a great deal on Islam. She has posted several videos that I can't bring myself to watch -- the stuff nightmares are made of.

Instances of Muslim-on-unbeliever violence

Were any of these murders called Hate Crimes?

Fellow doctors have recounted how they were repeatedly harangued by Hasan about religion and that he openly claimed to be a “Muslim first and American second.”

One Army doctor who knew him said a fear of appearing discriminatory against a Muslim soldier had stopped fellow officers from filing formal complaints.

Another, Dr Val Finnell, who took a course with him in 2007 at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Maryland, did complain about Hasan’s “anti-American rants.” He said: “The system is not doing what it’s supposed to do. He at least should have been confronted about these beliefs, told to cease and desist, and to shape up or ship out. I really questioned his loyalty.”

Political correctness has made the media into clowns.

When even now after a pile of information about this hate-filled Islamist doctor, the media say, “We don’t know the killer’s motives,” Americans from coast to coast are fed up with how the media yet again contorts itself in trying to paste a kind, misunderstood face on cold blooded, mass murdering enemy combatants like this home grown, incited-at-the-mosque terrorist, Hasan. Whoever did not fire this hate machine, whoever transferred this psychiatrist from Walter Reed to Fort Hood, Texas, rather than courtmarshall him for the many military regulations he was breaking, calling the many witnesses available to testify to the harm the pseudo-doctor was causing to the military, should himself or herself be courtmarshalled.

Islamic propagandists are even now on the faculties of our military academies, spouting anti-America vitriol in the name of “diversity.” The military needs to wake up and clean house to protect itself and America from the enemies within. Oaths of allegiance should mean what they say. Time to tell the story of the mosques and those who frequent them and the facts about C.A.I.R. and how this fifth column organization operates across America with the goal of destroying America from within, city by city.

Why do people even think this was so sudden? He took the peoples tax money to pay for his education and welched on his commitment. He was born a muzzie and and went the jihad route. Now we have spent a ton of money to save his life and I’ll bet there will be no execution for this pos in the name of pc.

You are exactly right! This was a planned Islamic Terrorist attack just like we had on 9/11. My fear is we will have more such attacks until and unless our military makes sure NO muslims are in our ranks!

Please read the statement by Col.Allen West, the man I wish was our CIC! http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2381861/posts

HEADS UP EVERYONE!

Col.Allen West Will be on FOX & Friends this morning 11/9 at about 8:15AM to discuss his statement about the attack on Ft.Hood! Be sure to tune in and please spread the word!

Here's the latest from Doug Ross via The Jawa Report:

FBI: Religion, ideology furthest thing from the guy's mind. FORT HOOD, Texas - As authorities dig deeper into the possible motives behind the Ft. Hood massacre, a picture is emerging of a garden-variety US soldier who found the conflict between his desire to serve his country and the natural fear of combat just too hard to reconcile, causing him to snap. Investigators are now discounting earlier, unconfirmed, reports of 85 eyewitnesses who said they heard Major Nidal Malik Hasan cry "Allahu Akbar!" before going on his shooting rampage, killing thirteen and wounding 30 more. They now believe Hasan, an atheist of Iranian-Jewish descent, was actually shouting "Oy Vey Halvah," and amid the ensuing panic and confusion the phrase was misinterpreted by scores of combat-ready soldiers.

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow quotes the FBI agent in charge of the inquiry, Ahmed Faisal, as saying, "we are now confident that Hasan's faith played absolutely no ole in his state of mind leading up to this tragedy. End of subject." Off camera, Maddow, not realizing her mic was on, was heard telling colleague Chris Mathews, "see, what [the] hell did I tell you?"

Asked for his comments on the FBI's findings, President - wait for it - Barack Hussein Obama told reporters, "see, what [the] hell did I tell you?"
