He murdered innocent people but …
Jihadist Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist who killed 13 people and wounded 30 at Fort Hood in the US is NOT the victim even though his relatives and the media are desperately playing the victim card.
They are saying that he was a victim of racist taunts and he was upset about the Iraq war.
UPDATE !:
How absolutely delightful is it that he was shot by a female.
UPDATE 2:
The gunman who killed 12 people today at Ft. Hood appears, based on current media reports, to be Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan who was listed as a participant in a Homeland Security Policy Institute’s presidential transition task force last year.
The task force was not officially affiliated with the White House. It was a project of the Homeland Security Policy Institute, an independent thinktank housed at George Washington University, aimed at drafting policy recommendations for the incoming Obama administration.
According to the task force’s May 2009 report [pdf], a “Nidal Hasan” from the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine was a task force event participant. Other participants included Senate and House staffers, Department of Homeland Security officials, Defense Department officials, and reporters for Politico, the Washington Post, and the London Times….

What about the mosque Major Hasan attended? Other members of the mosque would be outraged that Hasan has committed these murders. Wouldn’t they?
‘I honestly have no pity for them’

I am glad that he survived in order to face court and spend the rest of his years behind bars with “no virgins”.
Having been a Parole Officer for many years, I would love to have a camera turned on him 24/7 in order to let the world see how the other offenders treat him, it would not be a pretty site but very rewarding to know that he is suffering.
Good videos. Spencer:
Islamic groups condemning the attack, and that’s great… but the reality is they are doing nothing. They have not instituted any programs in any mosques or schools to teach against the ideology that led to this. They have not co-operated with law enforcement of the FBI … and tried to block every anti-terror legislation that’s come down… This is something that’s just perpetuating the problem because we’re not calling them to account. We’re not asking them to do something about this, we’re accepting all these blands denials … of accepting responsibility.
No programs to teach against the ideology. Bingo. We’re not asking moderates to do anything. Hence it perpetuates the problem. Ralph Peters:
… beyond the fact that this was a terrorist act and the lamestream media won’t deal with it as such, it troubles me that our army has become so politically correct that they didn’t get rid of this guy… Because he was part of a protected species, a protected minority, the army let him slide… 12 soldiers and a civilian dead … and what do we say: oops? No, it’s time to get rid of the PC culture in the army, in society, the media… Your viewers understand that this was an act of Islamist terror. And the media is not going to fool them, Obama is not going to fool them. And at some point we need to stop focusing on … this poor… Hasan… How many of the names do we know of the dead… the wounded? Have the media covered the family lives that have been destroyed, no its all about poor Major Hasan, and I am ready to puke.
Puke indeed. James Delingpole examines the UK media vomit: Hmm. Can’t imagine what Major Malik Nadal Hasan’s motivation could have been:
But that doesn’t stop the Guardian speculating desperately: “Instead, his horror of war came secondhand. He was a psychiatrist who listened to the harrowing stories of his comrades at the Walter Reed Hospital in Washington DC, and latterly at Fort Hood, Texas”. Ah yes that will be it. A bit like passive smoking, the Major was suffering from passive combat stress.
Diana West:
But even as we learn Hasan shouted “Allahu Akbar” … the military spokesmen, pundits, newspapers remain “stumped” as to his motivation. Stumped. They are unable even to speculate whether this was an act of jihad. They can’t even mouth the words, certainly can’t write them…
The question is, Do we love basking in the self-congratulation of “diversity” so much that we will ask our soldiers to trust their lives to some few Muslims in the military all too prone to Sudden Jihad Syndrome? (I’ve written about this as “Hair-Trigger Moderates” as well.) Do we love affirming the mythology of “multiculturalism” so much that we will continue to deny the irreconcilable differences between Islam and Judeo-Christian beliefs — not to mention secular humanist beliefs — that now fester within our military and security services? (Hasan was actually a consultant on a panel advising President Obama on Homeland Security matters.) So far, the answer is a clear and resounding “yes.” Yes to Diversity over Survival. Yes to Denial over Reality. Dhimmitude Is Us…
I’ve written about Hammond before in connection with the Koran sniper incident of May 2008 … Back then, as commander in Baghdad, he apologized profusely and abjectly for a soldier’s use of a Koran for target practice before ordering an American officer to kiss a brand new replacement Koran and present it with deepest reverence to “tribal elders.” …
Bottom line: MG Hammond may have abased himself over a copy of the blueprint for jihad while in Iraq, but that didn’t keep his men safe from an act of jihad in Texas.
Irreconcilable differences, diversity over survival, denial over reality. Bingo.
Mark Steyn: Shooter exposes hole in U.S. terror strategy …
And his superior officers and other authorities knew about his beliefs but seemed to think it was just a bit of harmless multicultural diversity – as if believing that “the Muslims should stand up and fight against the aggressor” (i.e., his fellow American soldiers) and writing Internet paeans to the “noble” “heroism” of suicide bombers and, indeed, objectively supporting the other side in an active war is to be regarded as just some kind of alternative lifestyle that adds to the general vibrancy of the base…
But we’re scrupulously nonjudgmental about the ideology that drives a man to fly into a building or self-detonate on the subway, and thus we have a hole at the heart of our strategy. We use rhetorical conveniences like “radical Islam” or, if that seems a wee bit Islamophobic, just plain old “radical extremism.” But we never make any effort to delineate the line which separates “radical Islam” from nonradical Islam. Indeed, we go to great lengths to make it even fuzzier. And somewhere in that woozy blur the pathologies of a Nidal Malik Hasan incubate… he opposed America’s actions in the Middle East and Afghanistan and made approving remarks about jihadists on U.S. soil. “You need to lock it up, Major,” said his superior officer, Col. Terry Lee.
But he didn’t really need to “lock it up” at all. He could pretty much say anything he liked, and if any “red flags” were raised they were quickly mothballed. Lots of people are “anti-war.” Some of them are objectively on the other side – that’s to say, they encourage and support attacks on American troops and civilians. But not many of those in that latter category are U.S. Army majors. Or so one would hope…
A neighbor in Texas says the major had “Allah” and “another word” pinned up in Arabic on his door. “Akbar” maybe? On Thursday morning he is said to have passed out copies of the Quran to his neighbors. He shouted in Arabic as he fired…
But the same pathologies that drive al-Qaida beat within Maj. Hasan, too, and in the end his Islamic impulses trumped his expensive Western education, his psychiatric training, his military discipline – his entire American identity.
What happened to those men and women at Fort Hood had a horrible symbolism: Members of the best-trained, best-equipped fighting force on the planet gunned down by a guy who said a few goofy things no one took seriously. And that’s the problem: America has the best troops and fiercest firepower, but no strategy for throttling the ideology that drives the enemy – in Afghanistan and in Texas.
Horrible symbolism. A hole at the heart of our strategy. The same pathologies that drive al-Qaida beat within Maj. Hasan. No strategy for throttling the ideology. Bingo. We can’t even talk about it.
David Horowitz : Our Brain Dead Country …
But despite his identification with America’s enemies, the army kept him in its officer corps. How in God’s name was this possible? But it was… Yet this morning the Fox News Channel chiron says “Investigators search for a motive in the Ft. Hood killings.” Is everybody out of their mind? …
The Fort Hood massacre is the first of the preventable atrocities we have been warning about on our websites since 9/11 — the atrocities which are apparently necessary for Americans to wake up to the threat that confronts us. We have a vast internal threat in this country in the form of this unholy alliance between the anti-American Left and radical Islam – whose Muslim Brotherhood network extends through our universities, our government and our military. It is “politically incorrect” to recognize this fact. You can be barred — as I have been — from speaking at universities for even talking about it. The embargo of discussion of the Islamo-fascist threat puts every American (including the infidel collaborators) at risk. Hasan had semi-automatic weapons. But they weren’t nuclear. That possibility is just around the corner unless we undergo a sea change in our attitudes and marshal the intelligence and the courage to recognize the threat.
Yes, everybody is out of their mind. Spencer again:
The effect of ignoring or downplaying the role that Islamic beliefs and assumptions may have played in his murders only ensures that – once again – nothing will be done to prevent the eventual advent of the next Nidal Hasan.
And it ain’t just Islamophobes asking the questions. Ask the terrorists themselves. Hassan Butt:
The main reason why radicals have managed to increase their following is because most Muslim institutions in Britain just don’t want to talk about theology. They refuse to broach the difficult and often complex truth that Islam can be interpreted as condoning violence against the unbeliever — and instead repeat the mantra that Islam is peace and hope that all of this debate will go away.
I muffed the Mark Steyn link. Try here:

Thanks Ginger and Michael,
I read the Mark Steyn article. Wish I could write like him.
He’s my hero!
David Horowitz is correct but its not just his country. The entire world is brain dead. I read some of the comments on news.com when they first reported it and I couldn’t believe the glee some people were taking in the deaths of Americans. There are a lot of really screwed up sick people out there.
Also Obamas reaction is very strange even though it’s completely predictable as is the bullshit fear of a backlash against Muslims.
No doubt our government will be scatching their heads in confusion when the push to recruit more culturally and religiously diverse soldiers eventually returns similar results.

Yeah, the push for diversity in our military will lead to jaw dropping moments like … U.S. Army General: Lack of diversity in Army is worse than mass murder:
Loss of diversity, says General Casey, would be worse than jihad murder: “Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse.”
As Pamela Geller puts it: “Diversity as a casualty would be an ‘even greater tragedy’ than the casualties of this act of war on American soil. I cannot believe what I am reading. It was not a tragedy, it was an terrorist attack. This is Obama’s military command?…Instead of taking the enemy on, calling it what it is and taking offensive measures against a mortal enemy that has vowed our destruction, we submit.”
In the same vein, Fjordman quoted a Norwegian blogger who “articulated the belief system of the entire Western world today ” … Dying Not to Discriminate:
Brave is sitting down calmly on a plane behind a row of suspicious-looking Arabs, ignoring your own fears, because you know those fears are irrational, and because even if there’s a chance that they are terrorists, it is more important to you to preserve an open and tolerant society than to survive this trip. Brave is insisting that Arabs not be searched more carefully in airport security than anyone else, because you believe that it is more important not to discriminate against people based on their race than to keep the occasional terrorist from getting on a plane.
Crazy. Tim Blair on the ABC … Unwilling to face the truth:
YOU can always tell when something bad has happened involving a follower of the Islamic faith. The big hint is that Islam isn’t mentioned…
So when someone starts murdering troops at a US army base, it might be reasonable to ask after their religion.
But no. The ABC’s first significant report on the atrocity, presented at midday on Friday by Washington correspondent Lisa Millar, avoided any mention of the killer’s faith beyond references to his “family background”.
Somehow, Millar kept this up for nearly eight minutes. With those dodging skills, you’d back her to emerge bone dry after walking the entire length of a car wash …
They’d have been speedier about it if the case involved a suspected Christian shooting up an abortion clinic, of course, but all religious motivations aren’t considered equal.
Oh yeah, a lot speedier.
