Not only is this not just the act of a single crazed individual, it is much more than even a terrorist attack. It is an act of treason in a time of war. After a General Courts Martial, Hasan should face a firing squad.. Please note that all legal criteria for a treason charge are fully met —
An American soldier taking up arms against the US Military during a time of war. Aided and conforted by an organization that has declared war against us and vowed to destroy us. The final criteria is that he did, in fact, inflict fatal injuries to American military personnel.

The enemy is adapting to the new reality of this war. Leaderless cells conducting military attacks that appear to be individual acts and thus have plausible deniability. This allows useful idiots to defend the perpetrators as nut cases within the envelope of our own civil criminal justice system

This is a good man. He’s also one of the nicest guys on the planet.

If we get him in The House for Florida, good things will happen. As a nation, we will benefit from Col. West’s common sense approach to everything.

Cheers from South Flori-duh (Broward County) !

“In 2006 the Pentagon assigned intelligence analysts to write a report about the source of Islamic extremism flaring around the world. They wanted to find out what is driving educated young men, and in some cases women, to commit such horrible acts of suicide and murder. The outcome of the briefing was politically incorrect and explosive. It is the Koran, the holy Islamic book, that is driving them. It is the religion itself, straight from the mouth of the Prophet Mohammed, the perfect man, according to Muslims.”

(P. 63.)

Ms. Gabriel goes on to describe how the Pentagon briefing paper explained how the researchers also found that “the more a Muslim understood the Koran and its teaching, the more immoderate he became as he headed toward the purer form of what Mohammed taught.”

(P. 63.)

I highly recommend the book. Ms. Gabriel has started a web-based project to inform and motivate Americans to demand their government, at all levels, protect us from these evildoers:

Pamela Gellar is also writing about this issue at http://www.atlasshrugs.com

I couldn’t find the source, but I believe the following statement is true: Every single day since 9-11-2001, somewhere on this planet a practiioner of the “Religion of Peace” has blown himself or herself up and killed innocent bystanders. And now it has, essentially, been attempted here in America, as no doubt Hasan thought he was going to be killed by the authorities or would turn one of his guns on himself so he could meet his 72 virgins.

When are we, as a nation, going to put a stop to the “Stealth Jihad” that is happening here in America before our very eyes? (See also Robert Spencer’s book “Stealth Jihad: How Radical Islam Is Subverting America without Guns or Bombs.”) When are we going to face the facts that the Koran is a cook book for terror?

Thank you,

I just wish I had her second book.
I watched the video of Pamela in McKinney, I couldn’t go. She is awesome as well. And those shoes!!
It is too bad truth is seen as hate speech these days, the PC is going to get us all killed or wearing a cotton coffin.

That the signs were missed. They WERE NOT MISSED they were IGNORED. The leftist media has decided to continue this LIE about how all of these things he did were “missed” by the FBI and the Military and ANYONE with ANY SENSE at all can see that he and his proselytizing were out and out IGNORED by all so that political correctness could continue to run amuck.

Col North just said on Hannity that they are trying to blame the victims when they the GOVERNMENT chose to kill those 14 The baby is the 14th victim and then they with General Casey want to tell US to NOT attack Muslims as if there has been some run on since 9-11 of 300 million Americans attacking Muslims….uhh NO Muslims have been attacking Americans since 9-11.

I am telling the government to get their heads out of their a@@es and start protecting the 97% of US who are NOT out to kill massive amounts of our fellow countrymen! GET REAL oh and that message is for the LEFTIST media as well.

Whoever has his enemy at his mercy &
does not destroy him is his own enemy

Yes all of this is true. But I doubt political correctness will change. Until people begin to speak out in public to challenge every form of political correctness nothing will change. Do you feel that knot in your gut when you are about to say something that will be viewed as politically incorrect among the group? Yes, even though you know you are right? Political correctness is a tactic in debate. Everyone knows it is wrong but it goes against human nature to go up against it. The Left knows this and they incorporate it at every opportunity. When it is enforced by the media, education and entertainment it is likely impossible to change until conservatism reigns in these areas. When would you say THAT will happen; conservatives take over Hollywood, academia and the media. While we have FOX NEWS, academia, and Hollywood and the rest of the media are lost for good.

Fighting PC has to begin in one-on-one conversations where conservative are bold enough to buck that knot in our stomachs. The “shock” of anti-PC talk must be replaced by an acceptance of that debate. How it can happen? I don’t know. Probably one person at a time. We must speak out boldly in personal discussions, school, and in all conversation; especially where liberals are present.

were acting in an environment in which Christian Europe was under assault from Islamic forces. 1492 isn’t just the year that Columbus sailed the Ocean blue, it’s the year that the last Muslim invaders and occupiers were driven from Western Europe. As late as 1582 Muslims were at the gates of Vienna. Even today we are dealing with the vestiges of Muslim conquest in The Balkans and Eastern Europe. The original Count Dracula was no vampire, he was a Christian commander whose ruthlessness towards the Muslims invading his land causes him also to be remembered as Vlad the Impaler. It lessens one’s ardor for attacking a fortress when one has to march past miles of the impaled bodies of the last force that tried to attack it.

It is well to remember that only the Western Roman Empire “fell” in the late 5th Century, the Eastern remained intact and with a high level of knowledge and sophistication for another 1000 years - until Constantinople fell to the Muslims. The knowledge and technology that the Muslims like to claim to prove they were so much more advanced than the Christians was merely the vestigial knowledge and technology of the Eastern Roman Empire which the Muslims methodically assaulted and conquered from the very beginnings of the “Religion of Peace.”

Bad things have been done in the name of Christ to other Christians, to “heretical” Christians, to Jews, to Muslims, and to others, but Christianity has never gone on a continent scale crusade to conquer and convert or kill as did Mohammedanism from its beginning until it was finally forced into submission by the much greater wealth and technology of the Western World. Unfortunately, foolish Western policy towards the Islamic World in the post-colonial era has given them enormous wealth and power and has allowed them to once again dream of Islamic hegemony over the whole World.

Yes, there are individual Muslims who do not seek a restored Caliphate, but the leadership cohort of the Muslim World does and the longer Westerners deny it and allow the Saudis and others to finance and foster radical Muslims right in our neighborhoods the more likely the Wahabbis and others are to achieve their goal of conversion, dhimmitude, or death for all of us.

Medieval Islamic civilization was, for several centuries, on a higher level than Medieval Christendom, until the Arabs began to decline quickly, allowing the Turks and Mongols to dominate them.

Historians debate the internal causes for such a decline: some claim it simply was a lack of energy because of their own success, others that the decline - in part - came from allowing the rise of fanaticism, e.g. the Madrasah movement in education dates to medieval times. With its focus on a narrow-minded orthodox canon and despising of originality or even variation, this was a long-term recipe for intellectual and creative disaster. Certainly the Mongol destruction of Baghdad and the mass murder of many scholars did not help the situation.

Some historians will agree that, because Islam has not had a Renaissance nor a Reformation, it remains in a frozen intellectual limbo.

Historian and expert on things Islamic Bernard Lewis wrote a book a few years ago on this topic: “What Went Wrong?”

“The Atlantic” - when it was more even-handed - published an article of his in 1990. It is still relevant today:

http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/199009/muslim-rage

An excerpt from his conclusion of this article: peace with Islam is a two-way street.

“To this end we must strive to achieve a better appreciation of other religious and political cultures, through the study of their history, their literature, and their achievements. At the same time, we may hope that they will try to achieve a better understanding of ours, and especially that they will understand and respect, even if they do not choose to adopt for themselves, our Western perception of the proper relationship between religion and politics. ”

The problem remains: for the fanatics, they do not want to understand our side. They simply want to annihilate it.

…the terrorists who hijacked it twist its writings to their own ends. Look at the suicide bombers. Most of these usually young men, are kept drunk or drugged by their handlers, obviously a decidedly un-Islamic act. That is one of the signs to watch for when attempting to spot a suicide bomber. Even when they are sent to their target they are often accompanied or supervised by their handlers who have a secondary radio controlled initiation device just in case the bomber has an attack of conscience. There are other examples of the hypocrisy, crime, the abuse of power when the fundamentalists are in power, the Taliban’s penchant for “little boys”, myriad examples, I’m sure your own spring to mind.

The average person’s unfamiliarity with Islam makes it easy to lump them all together, what’s the difference between a Sunni and a Shiite? What is the Wahhabi sect? Whats the difference between a Catholic and a Lutheran? To the outsider they are indistinguishable, why would an outsider care? The supporters of terrorism use that unfamiliarity to lump them all together allowing them to hide along side their modern “moderate” counterparts. They strive to turn every attack on fundamentalist Islam into an attack on all of Islam knowing that will never work. We are not going to kill 1.2 billion people and/or wipe Islam off the face of the earth. So they hide in plain sight, for fear of being seen as attacking all of Islam we do nothing, worse than nothing, in attempting to placate the modern moderates we allow the fundamentalists to prosper. Groups like CAIR use these leftist tactics daily, blurring the divisions between a decent human being who happens to have a different religion than you or I and those dangerous, ravenous power seeking supporters of terror.

What’s the answer? I don’t know but it will have to involve a more active part from the modern moderate Muslims, in America and the world. We and they must call out the fundamentalist supporters of terror and crush them at every opportunity. Modern moderate Muslims can no longer afford to allow the hijackers to drag their religion into terrorism and destruction. Nor can we allow them the luxury of sitting back and waiting for someone else to fix things. Muslims need to clean house before we have to do it for them.
