Maybe they should have "don't ask, don't tell" for Muslims.

He apparently jointed to hussle the government out of a free education. then deciced he was a crazy as his patients. His diagnosis is that a good Muslim kills Infadels.

He did that. He's probably a hero in the Muslim world.

I hope he lives so we can kill him.

Someday we need to fact the fact that not all religions should be treated equally. Islam is a movement to eradicate those who don't follow Allah. Whats confusing about this?

Man, no wonder club med didn't want to post around here any more.

Some of you need to read this blog posted and actually care to think...

Quote:
Lost in the rush to speculate was any attempt to place this story within a broader context. What about the many Muslims who have served and now the 20,000 who currently serve in the armed forces, those that fought and died in Afghanistan and Iraq? Are they influenced by their religion in their willingness to serve, fight and die for their country? Courageous Muslims like Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan, praised by Colin Powell in his endorsement speech of Barack Obama, gave his life for his country, and was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart, Bronze Star and the honor of being buried in Arlington cemetery.

Why this common tendency and double standard towards Islam and Muslims post-9/11? We judge the religion and majority of mainstream Muslims by the acts of an individual or an aberrant minority of extremists. Yet, when Jewish fundamentalists kill a prime minister or innocent Palestinians or Christian extremists blow up abortion clinics or assassinate their physicians, somehow the media is capable of sticking to all the facts and distinguishing between the use and abuse of a religion.

There can be no excuse, personal, political, or religious, to justify this senseless act of mass murder. There should also be no excuse for a rush to judgment that creates "facts on the ground," that once again negatively impact the American public's perception of Islam and the vast majority of our Muslim fellow citizens.

Some of you guys need to seriously get a grip.

What part of "Allah Akbar" is confusing you when he started doing Mohammed's good work?

Islam is peculiar religion that subjigates the individual to the cause. It enforces mysogeny, poverty, and violence.

Pardon my intolerance, but Christianity believes in forgiveness and acceptance, not murdering infidels.

Uh. This part (along with the general fact that you apparently have a problem with more than 1 billion others in the world):

Quote:
(CBS/ AP) Soldiers who witnessed the shooting rampage at Fort Hood that left 13 people dead reported that the gunman shouted "Allahu Akbar!" as he fired on his fellow soldiers, the base commander said Friday.

Lt. Gen. Robert Cone told "Early Show" co-anchor Harry Smith said officials had not yet confirmed that the suspected shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, made the comment, which is Arabic for "God is great!" during the rampage Thursday, which also left 30 people wounded, including the gunman.

"Did he say anything as he was carrying out this act?" Smith asked Cone.

"There are reports, unconfirmed, that he was saying, 'Allahu Akbar," ' Cone replied.

Oh well. I'm sure it's still Allah's fault, and all Muslims are potential mass murderers. Go ahead and keep blaming Islam as a whole. It's okay. Most of us are used to you being rather delusional.

You are right Mike2.0, those angry while males do not understand that they cannot pile on "protected" minorities. Obviously they have not read the memo yet.

And since we're discussing this whole alleged "Allahu Akbar!" statement he said:

As this writer noted in a recent blog entry:

Quote:
The takbīr or takbeer is the Arabic name for the phrase Allāhu Akbar, usually translated "God is great" or "God is [the] greatest," it is a common Arabic expression and is used as both an informal expression of faith and as a formal declaration.

Nah, it has nothing to do with being a certain minority or religion. It's about over analyzing a situation in which very little facts are known at the moment, then jumping to conclusions because they fit your political view, religious view, etc. etc.

We should mourn those who were killed, and focus on ways to try and prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.

Fort Hood Massacre-explanation?

Fort Hood massacre is undoubtedly a horrific incidence. As a matter of fact, this is not the only one in the recent times, and possibly this will not be the last one either unless we try to understand the underlying dynamics for such rampages committed by persons who suddenly or very quickly ‘snapped’. We must think anew. I have some radically different explanation for such perplexing events that defy commonsense and logic. My hypothesis that the mind lives on even after the death of the bodies, explained in Living Mind, Dead Body can possibly shed light not only on such senseless killings but also on other callous crimes. It is plausible that the living minds, be that good or evil show affinity to its kind especially those who are susceptible to it. It is imperative for us to think out of the box, in a radically different way for the sake of the peace and harmony of the planet Earth.

Well this is the sad fact of what maj hasan has done to the peace loving religion of Islam and the soldiers that practice it. The soldiers who serve and protect you and this country will now whether reasonable or unreasonable have doubt to any muslim soldier to his right or left or worse behind him. Is he the next maj hasan? Is he going to protect me or attack me when I am vulnerable? Can I trust him or must I keep an eye on him at all times? That is the sad fact no matter how much you rationalize the event. US soldiers no matter how dedicated or trained are still human unlike those video games which do no feel pain or emotion. DOUBT is something they cannot afford to have while in combat.

Just like how they reacted to the shooting, direct and immediate. Hesitation kills.

And given the derisive slurs and lack of respect for their religious beliefs exhibited by their non-muslim brethren since 9-11 you ought to have solid understanding of their doubts of their brothers-in arms as well of some understanding of how the lack of respect and support could have contributed to this incident.

So does that mean it justify what maj hasan has done? Because some dickhead soldier slur the Muslim religion? Pleeeease, give me another heartbreaking excuse and I might buy it to include a bridge in Manhattan.
