Fort Hood killer ‘does not represent Muslims’: American security chief (lol)

ABU DHABI // The killing of 13 people by a Muslim psychiatrist at an American army base must not lead to the victimisation of Muslim Americans, the US secretary of homeland security has said.

On a visit to the capital, Janet Napolitano said grassroots efforts were vital to preserving relations between Muslim Americans and the wider community after Friday’s shootings at Fort Hood in Texas.

“We object to, and do not believe, that anti-Muslim sentiment should emanate from this,” she said. “This was an individual who does not represent the Muslim faith.”

Describing the killings as “a terrible tragedy”, Ms Napolitano said a civil rights and civil liberties directorate in her department aimed to “prevent everybody being painted with a broad brush”.

“That work is ongoing and is part and parcel of how we view security,” she said. “One of the things we’ll do is make sure that we’re reaching out to the state and local authorities within the US, because they often have better outreach to members of the Muslim community than we do.” Ms Napolitano was speaking to female students at Zayed University, and took part in a private question-and-answer session with them.

She said her visit to the UAE was part of the “outreach” programme to the Muslim community by the US administration, one that included the June speech in Cairo by the US president, Barack Obama.

Talks with officials during her visit centred on “general co-operation” between the UAE and the US on issues such as “training and sharing best practices”, she added.

Believe me, if half the Muslims in America suddenly “snapped” and went on a shooting spree, the gub’mint would rush to remind us that half of them didn’t, and we must not jump to conclusions.

Why the hell is America doing the out-reaching?

She said her visit to the UAE was part of the “outreach” programme to the Muslim community by the US administration, one that included the June speech in Cairo by the US president, Barack Obama.

Shouldn't the muslim nations be out-reaching, condemning ALL the muslim sponsored terrorist acts of the last 30 years?

A Muslim takes every word of the Koran as gospel:

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.’”

It seems to me that if these so called "muslim groups" would spend a fraction of the time actually trying to counter these nuts that go on the murder sprees, as opposed to painting themselves as the victims of "islamaphobia," when nobody's actually lifted a finger against them, then people might be more sympathetic. It also doesn't help when they paint the murderers themselves as victims. I especially love the so called pre-post traumatic stress syndrome that the murderer was suffering under, as well as the difficulty of being a field grade officer and a mulsim... I wonder just who it was making fun of and insulting him? Enlisted, NCOs and lower ranking officers certainly weren't doing it to his face... Otherwise they'd be in a world of hurt. And superior officers? Their careers would be in jeopardy. Does anybody really believe that this guy was anything but a sleeper?

Janet Napolitano is one good argument for women wearing burkas. She will be very comfortable in one.

The islamofascist pig, Hassan, IS the face of Islam. He is an islamic soldier serving his demonspawn god allah, by murdering Americans. Islam serves the father of lies a murderer from the start. Why would we expect these pigs to do anything but murder in their father's name?

Until we as a nation face that reality, that Islam is of the murderer from the start, these murderous pigs will continue to hide behind politican correctness pleadings which are completely specious to the murderous cult of Islam.

Remove the Muslim soldiers now serving in the US armed forces from the wrath of their comrades - put them up for immediate discharge from service and any Reserve obligations they may now have. As an added inducement, offer to relocate them, after discharge, to any destination of their choice, with all their possessions and family.

The cheapest insurance, and the most positive step that may be taken, to assure that there shall be no further incidents in the nature of the recent massacre at Ft. Hood.

Time to put this Trojan Horse out to pasture. Have our military leaders learned NOTHING from von Clauswitz or Sun-Tzu?

...the events of this past week have proven that the US government no longer represents us so I guess we’re on our own.

"...when in a war, foreign or intestine, the enemies get a final victory, so as, the forces of the Commonwealth keeping the field no longer, there is no further protection of subjects in their loyalty, then is the Commonwealth dissolved, and every man at liberty to protect himself by such courses as his own discretion shall suggest unto him."

ABU DHABI ...

That's as far as I read, and as far as I'll ever want to read.

I have no interest whatsoever to read reports, even news from a pathologically lying and useless culture.

End of comment.
