Tea and Sympathy ( Hasan suffers from Pre Post Traumatic Stress Disorder )
NRO ^ | November 7th | Mark Steyn

Posted on 11/07/2009 6:07:41 PM PST by Halfmanhalfamazing

The Nothing-to-see-here media continue to do a grand job. Chris Matthews:

We may never know if religion was a factor at Fort Hood.

That's almost certainly true in your case, Chris.

As for yelling "Allahu akbar" as you open fire, Michael Tomasky, one of the American lefties on the Guardian's payroll, explains it for us know-nothings:

The fact that Hassan reportedly shouted the above is meant, I suppose, to imply that he was an extremist fanatic.

I'm not sure that it does. My understanding is that it's something Arab people often shout before doing something or other. It's used in many different situations. It doesn't mean the guy is an al-Qaida mole any more than my drinking a cup of tea would mean I was a tea partier.

Shouldn't that be "teabagger," as you chaps say? Still, it's good to know if someone shows up shouting "Allahu akbar" it's just a sign he's about to "do something or other." No need to dive under the table.

On the other hand, if you're still invested in Major Hasan's PPTSD (unique case of pre-Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), you may prefer Kate McMillan:

"Allahu akbar." It's the new "cry for help".

P.S. If in doubt, blame English Catholics:

Today is Guy Fawkes Day - the anniversary of a plot by a Catholic dissident to blow up the English Parliament then dominated by Protestants). If the shootings were motivated by some sense of grievance against US foreign/military policy, then the date is surely significant.

Surely.

Steyn as usual has me ROFL. PPTSD?

What a great way to characterize the media's sickness with regards to how they are reporting on this story.

The House of Representatives is killing the USA forever, and Mark is writing about a terrorist?

for crying out loud, we all know by others who knew him that he was a radical and that he thought of himself as a muslim first.
He shouts allah as he shoots and tingle up the leg will not know if it was to do with Islam.
HUH

This was a case of ritualistic genocide, not just murder.There is a significant difference.
God defeated Allah at Fort Hood.He also did not let Hasan die to gain a seat next to his perverted god.

Political Correctness is used to keep America blind to what actually goes on inside a Mujihads heart mind. The left has worked so hard at making sure that America does not see its war against Terror as a religious war, when in fact the enemy sees it as EXACTLY that. A religious war.

This is , as Bush said, a war against evil. And evil came to Fort Hood in the form of a jihadi who was in fact possessed by Allah.For me this incident has shades of the movie “Exorcist.”

And Good has triumphed, even though so many innocents died.
This truth of which we speak needs to me shared with America as much as possible.America needs to know of the evil which it faces, at long last. No matter what the left want to make of it.

The religious practice of the Mujihad needs to be explained to every one. There is an inner prayer designed to connect one with the self righteous energy of Allah, who literally takes over the body and mind of the jihadine.That’s what happened here.A kind of Muslim spiritual possession.Hasan was not insane, or deranged. He was just fired up on his prayers and energized.He was executing a religious ritual which he believed would open the gates of heaven for him.Hasan expected to be killed so that he and his victims would end up basking in the radiance of Allah, which is the spiritual goal of the Mujahid. That is what makes this incident religious genocide. THIS IS A WAR CRIME.No different that the burning of the Jews by Hitler.

The MSM will not properly inform the public about this religious practice of jihadism.It would no longer be a war on terror,The terrorists could no longer be redefined as “criminals” by Obama , who should be Mirandized with the benefits of due process that Bush had made sure to remove, as deserved. These secret jihadist teachings now flourish on US soil, and within our own military. They must be rooted out and utterly destroyed.

Actually, I thought he was writing about the American inability to stop the madness that rules the day on main st. and in DC...it is somehow related...we are all sitting here dough popped, with WTF hanging in the air, aren’t we? I think he’s telling us that the fear of losing the horse is a little late, the barn door having been opened last year...

“The religious practice of the Mujihad needs to be explained to every one.”

Thanks, but all I need to know I learned in CCD...the rest at the range...and my training in both places is going to help me, not them...

I’ve got traumatic stress just from the fact these jihadi idiots are allowed to roam around in this country. And from the fact that my incompetent news media and superlatively incompetent government don’t do anything about it.

I appreciate your passion, but I have seen this lengthy posting all over FR tonight. I have taken it upon myself to condense it:

What is this “it was no terrorist attack” shit? If we can’t identify the enemy, how will we ever win the war?

If he said “Hold my beer, watch this” one would suspect a Red Neck. If he said “Son of a diddly” one would suspect he was from Ned Flander’s church. If you heard “clop, clop, clop, bang, band, clop, clop, clop” one would suspect an Amish drive-by shooter. So, what’s the point?

Yeah, and I just heard on the news that Obama will be going to Fort Hood. Given his insensitivity towards the troops I can only assume that the reason why he is going to Fort Hood is to give Nidal Hassan a purple heart for his injuries. What other reason could he possibly have for going to Fort Hood. If I were one of the injured or a family member I would be insulted. Of course we all know that the only reason he is going is for the photo ops and that’s it.

THe word is NOT terrorist. It is accurately called, Islamofascism. The watered down version is "terrorism"

And Hasans act was religious genocide, not "murder."

His was a crime against humanity, the crime of estermination based o n a motiovation to brong about a Muslim Utopia, much like the Utopipan dreams of our present pretend president. Maybe you understand. I do not know, but I do know one thing. If we do not understand this in terms of the internal practises of the Mujahid, we have no chance of preventing it, call me or that shit as much as you want.

Suture yourself.

And good luck.

These “journalists” are losers who should not be taken seriously.
