Politically-correct double standard may have spawned mass murder at Fort Hood by Muslim soldier
The Washington Examiner ^ | Nov 6, 2009 | Hans Bader

Posted on 11/06/2009 12:25:59 PM PST by walford

A Muslim soldier, Nidal Hasan, shot dead 12 soldiers and a civilian at Fort Hood yesterday, shouting the Muslim expression "Allahu Akbar." But in an absurd display of political correctness, media reports barely mentioned the religion angle, choosing instead to highlight the fact that the killer was an "army psychiatrist" or the false claim that he was a veteran with PTSD (which he wasn't: he never even served overseas). Oh, those violent psychiatrists!

Now, we read that he had previously said that Muslims should rise up against the military, "repeatedly expressed sympathy for suicide bombers," and engaged in hate-speech against non-Muslims, publicly calling for the beheading or burning of non-Muslims, and talking "about how if you’re a nonbeliever the Koran says you should have your head cut off, you should have oil poured down your throat, you should be set on fire." But nothing was done to remove him from a position where he could harm others...

...in the military, soldiers get punished for bigotry all the time -- except for this guy. The courts have held that hate-speech or speech that "discriminatorily harasses" others can generally be criminally punished in the military, unlike in the outside world, and accordingly, white supremacists get disciplined for their views. (So, too, do soldiers who express disloyalty to their country or merely contempt for their Commander in Chief.) But not this soldier, who was more dangerous than your typical white supremacist...

I can’t understand how this guy made it through the screening process to become a psychiatrist. From what I understand, you need to become a medical doctor FIRST. Then, you need at least 4 more years of medical training to become a psychiatrist. I know that doctors commit murder, but I’ve never heard of a shrink going that far.

If we let the media get away with this one, they will do again and again.
We should be DELUGING the cowards’ web addresses and mailboxes with communications calling them out for their failure to make the obvious connections.

This is EXACTLY how Britain became Londonstan.

And there you have it, quoted direct from the 'holy' koran. Just ask obama - he referred to the islamic terror-manual as 'holy'.

Thanks for the ping, LucyT.

Fred Nerks has posted this video before and if I recall it made me so mad I couldn’t even watch the whole thing.

That said, I finally did watch it and STILL can’t understand how so many still defend this POS.

Thanks, Fred Nerks...I’m emailing this video far and wide.

Last night, listening to the news about the shooter, my husband said, “I can’t believe just one guy did all that!”.

My response? “Oh, he had a helper........Political Correctness.”

If we allow it, PC will destroy our beloved country.

Time for everyone to step back, take a deep breath and GET REAL. If half of this is true, the killer should have been removed from service.

Granted. But, a psycologist only needs a four year degree.
This Muslim, this Terrorist, needed a 4 year pre-med degree, 4 years of medical school plus 4 to 6 years of residency to become a psychiatrist. How did his peers allow him to be so ordained? He must have aroused some doubts or suspicions along the way.

It literally means “Allah is great."

That is PC spin !

it means Allah is GREATER.

Many believe Allah is haSatan and
the reference is Satan's belief that
he is Greater than YHvH.

On one of my Vietnam Vet sites one of the contributors pointed out that the ONLY class that can be profiled in this country is Vets, who if the Libs had their way, would not be allowed to own a weapon. Many of these guys that undergo PTSD treatment are denied CC permits, just like a felon, who broke the law.
To say this fool suffered PTSD is a slap in the face to ALL Combat Vets and those that were in close support...like one of the wags said’’’’ That must mean PRE trauma Stress, instead of POST.... kind of like you would tag a coward.

This idiot had also ‘preached’ that a Suicide Bomber should be compared in bravery to the Soldier that jumped on a hand grenade to save his buddies.....

That is so incredibly sad. It just infuriates me! I keep asking myself, “what can one voice do?”. Therefore I keep e-mailing, faxing and calling all my reps in D.C. I’m sure they are getting tired of it. So be it. I will not quit.

My husband, my sons, my father, my grandfathers, my great- grandfathers, etc. all served in the military. I refuse to deny their service and sacrifice by keeping silent. I will not quit.

today Senator Kerry’s office hung up on me, .. and Senator Kirk (Kennedy’s replacement) ‘s aide said that the people calling Obama’s czars ‘socialists’ are McCarthyites.

The audacity of these smug ill-informed minions is breath-taking. They immediately assume we are neanderthals because we disagree with the party line.

In all fairness to the O admin, (and I don’t know why - just my character I guess), this guy was demonically controlled before O took office.
