Now that some time has passed from the killing of 13 soldiers and injury of 42 others at Fort Hood, TX, some more information is coming to light.
It appears that Major Hasan has made dangerous and controversial statements in the past without anyone saying a word.
In June of 2007, Major Hasan was at Walter Reed Army Medical Center giving a presentation to fellow soldiers the topic was "religious conflicts that Muslims might have with the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan" per the Washington Post. He made a statement that Muslims should as a group be able to declare themselves exempt from the 2 wars. No one filed a complaint against him. Why? Were they worried about being labeled a bigot or anti-Muslim?
In 2008, he was investigated by the Defense Department's Criminal Defensive Services, assigned to the Joint Terrorism Task Force. Why? Because Major Hasan communicated with the radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-waki. For some unknown reason nothing came out of this. We need to know who was responsible for not persuing the investigation and why. Even with all this, no one from the Criminal Defensive Services told the US Army about this walking time-bomb of an "officer".
Do you remember the "War on Terror?" due to political correctness the current administration last May started calling it an "Overseas Contingency Operation" The OCS. Hmmmm. The OCS sounds like a part of my car that needs tuning. I can hear it now from my mechanic: "Sorry Sir, your OCS went bad and caused the rattling sound, but it can be replaced in a jiffy."
There is no evidence that Major Hasan was an official member of Al Qaeda unlike those cowards that attacked us on September 11th. But make no mistake, this was a Terrorist Act. It doesn't matter if he acted alone or not. He was a believer of radical Islam and then he acted upon his murderous beliefs. That's what a Terrorist is. It's very simple. They believe the twisted Ideology and kill an American. That's all they need.
Why are we worried about offending Muslims? I believe that most American Muslims would understand that if the FBI has questions about communications with a Radical Cleric, they would be helpful to the FBI. I think most Muslims are just fine. I think the ultra-sensitivity comes more from the Liberal Media. The problem lies with a small but Radical portion of Islam. If a Catholic Bishop would announce that it was permissable to kill Muslims since they were non-believers, trust me, he would get a phone call from the Pope ASAP. We don't have an issue with Episcopalians or Methodists shouting "Jesus is the only way" and blowing themselves up.
It is so sad that the current adminsitration is afraid of calling this act "Terrorist" and that's because they would feel the pressure to DO something about it.
The War on Terror continues, too bad that our leaders in Washington D.C. have lost the Will to fight....
