Terrorism at Fort Hood
It is striking how much fear there is of offending someone who has committed mass murder in the name of his religion. A mass murder for Allah attack should not be dismissed because of the fear of stirring up "Islamophobia." The better argument is that it was caused by Infidelophobia.On Thursday afternoon, a radicalized Muslim US Army officer shouting "Allahu Akbar!" committed the worst act of terror on American soil since 9/11. And no one wants to call it an act of terror or associate it with Islam.
What cowards we are. Political correctness killed those patriotic Americans at Ft. Hood as surely as the Islamist gunman did. And the media treat it like a case of non-denominational shoplifting.
This was a terrorist act. When an extremist plans and executes a murderous plot against our unarmed soldiers to protest our efforts to counter Islamist fanatics, it’s an act of terror. Period.
When the terrorist posts anti-American hate-speech on the Web; apparently praises suicide bombers and uses his own name; loudly criticizes US policies; argues (as a psychiatrist, no less) with his military patients over the worth of their sacrifices; refuses, in the name of Islam, to be photographed with female colleagues; lists his nationality as "Palestinian" in a Muslim spouse-matching program, and parades around central Texas in a fundamentalist playsuit — well, it only seems fair to call this terrorist an "Islamist terrorist."
But the president won’t. Despite his promise to get to all the facts. Because there’s no such thing as "Islamist terrorism" in ObamaWorld.
And the Army won’t. Because its senior leaders are so sick with political correctness that pandering to America-haters is safer than calling terrorism "terrorism."
And the media won’t. Because they have more interest in the shooter than in our troops — despite their crocodile tears.
...
One of the problems with Islam right now is that it makes some people crazy. Not all. But some. When it does it is a problem for all of us, because these religious Islamic bigots have actually killed many more Muslims than those who are not. It is in all of our interest to stop the bigots.
This was an act of terrosism, simple as that. Don't understand why there's even a debate about it. Americans are "cowards" in being politically correct and not acknowleding this fact.
ReplyDeleteWe now have terrorist attack on our own land again---under President Obama. At least Bush protected us.
ReplyDeleteThese soldiers deserve purple hearts!
Yes, it is terrorism, and for not admitting that we are cowards, with a right mindset.
ReplyDeleteThe thing that the army gets (and hopefully our president does as well) is that if you start to discriminate against all Muslims and put them in Concentration Camps and the like, the recruitment for the Taliban and other terrorist organizations goes up.
Their goal is not to destroy the US by any means, it is to unite all of the Middle East against us.
That was the intention behind 9/11, and when that didn't work out as planned for them, they tried again with this.
