Hasan's "Koranic World View - Muslims in the U.S. Military"

Good God almighty. TheWashington Post published the Powerpoint presentation that Major Nidal Malik Hasan gave to doctors at Walter Reed in June 2007.  It was supposed to be a medical topic, but instead Hasan made a presentation on Islam, the Koran and Muslims in the U.S. military.  It's quite a good primer on Islamists, which as Hasan himself said, "Advocates rule by God's law-Islamic political rule/shariah law (i.e., no separation of church and state)."  Do yourself a favor and read the slide show.  All sorts of useful information in there.  This is what we're up against, we apes and swine.  Seriously.  

 

Slide number 48: "We love death more then (sic) you love life!"  Yup, that's clear.

Two Best Columns on Ft. Hood Massacre So Far

Of the many op-eds, columns and blogposts about the Ft. Hood massacre, I think these two by Jerry Pournelle and Mark Steyn capture the two most salient points of the tragedy:

Jerry Pournelle's blogpost discusses the treasonous nature of Major Nidal Malik Hasan's actions and the criminal oversight of the U.S. military of Hasan's anti-Americanism and pro-jihadism. Pournelle gets it exactly correct. This was treason.  It was overlooked due to political correctness in the military. We can only hope that Hasan survives so he can be charged with treason in a military court.

Mark Steyn's column that essentially says "It's the ideology, Stupid!", excerpts:

"...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."

Sickened Over Ft. Hood Shootings

I'm still sickened on many levels over the massacre at Ft. Hood post in Texas on November 5, 2009.  Where to start?

• Backstabber - Baldilocks uses the term "backstabber" for Nidal Malik Hasan,and writes: "...this incident takes us back to when another Muslim called Hasan turned on his fellow soldiers.  Recalling that, I began to wonder how often U.S. military have turned their weapons on those who trusted them most."
  
• Negligence
- I'm dumbfounded by the incredible negligence of the U.S. Army that kept and promoted Major Nidal Malik Hasan, given the many warning signs over years.  Read this NPR transcript, which discusses Hasan's statements at a Grand Rounds at Walter Reed hospital: "Hasan apparently gave a long lecture on the Koran and talked about how if you don't believe, you are condemned to hell. Your head is cut off. You're set on fire. Burning oil is burned down your throat." The staff was very concerned, another Muslim doctor objected to what Hasan said, and nobody does anything?  Hasan is later promoted to Major?  

• Treason - Jerry Pournells gets it exactly correct: it doesn't matter if Hasan was "a crazy guy who happens to be Muslim."  What matters is that political correctness in the military allowed this horrible massacre to happen.
