Steve, is there a way to donate completely anonymously, so even you don't know who I am.

Eight years ago, parts of the conservative press were asking "did political correctness allow September 11?" Maybe not, but it sure caused Ft. Hood.

"KILLEEN, Tex. — Leaders of the vibrant Muslim community here . . ."

How vibrant can it be if a devout, successful Muslim like Hasan couldn't even find a woman to be servile to him?

muslim immigrants aside, we haven't even posted about the obama administration decision to remove the ban on HIV positive immigration.

it is guaranteed, GUARANTEED, that in only a few years, HIV positive immigrants from who knows where, will be deliberately infecting americans with this lethal virus.

and of course, thousands, THOUSANDS, will come to the US simply for the free health care that the fedgov wants to give them. any 20 year old, no skill, high school dropout, HIV positive immigrant can come to the US now and get a lifetime of medical care for AIDS, at a cost of at least 1 million dollars to the taxpayers.

Danquah assumed the military's chain of command knew about Hasan's doubts, which had been known for more than a year to classmates at the Maryland graduate military medical program. His fellow students complained to the faculty about Hasan's "anti-American propaganda," but said a fear of appearing discriminatory against a Muslim student kept officers from filing a formal complaint.

Always amusing to see 'vibrant' used with a straight face. Now if they could just define exactly what they meant by vibrant we would be a whole lot closer to understanding the multicult.

Guys like Hasan are pretty dim or impulsive in going on shooting sprees against “Americans”. It's obvious no elite opinion maker cares if a dozen or two average American slobs are shot or run over. It’s been going on for years.

However, inevitably some of these Islamic terrorists will target elites who actually hold power in this country (politicians, financiers, media figures, etc). They will probably even hit something like a synagogue, business or other ethnic soft target like they frequently target in Israel.

When that day comes, I hope at least some elites will realize the cumulative blood they have on their hands for their willful PC ignorance of such incidences and ruinious policies that led to them.

How exactly does one segue into a Jihad rant about beheading infidels and pouring boiling oil down their throats during a medical presentation?

Was that how he opened the talk to break the ice or was it one of those humourous antedotes used to break up a long powerpoint presentation?

I'm curious to know the details of how anyone could think such an MD (even a Psychologist) would be anything other than batshit insane for doing this.

I agree with airtommy. The Telegraph is notorious as being an info drop for US intel, ie the quickly-debunked recent story that Ahmadinejad was Jewish, or their 2003 article containing proof that Saddam had trained 9/11 loser Atta.

If it's as bad as it sounds, I wonder if some of the many military personnel who ran into Maj. Hasan aren't posting more details on the Interwebs.

I doubt Hasan's powerpoint is publically available, but it sounds like ripe material for black comedy.

This isn't significant at all. Allah is just the Arabic word for God. We already knew that Hasan spoke Arabic and was a fairly devout Muslim.

does he behead you first then pour the oil? Because that doesn't seem as bad as the oil then beheading. I would choose the former. I guess I wouldn't want either but if given the choice.

Diversity/Multiculturalism/Political Correctness is our brand new Official State Religion, the one whose dogmas you cannot question, and Barack Obama is its Pope - or should I say its Caliph?

Whenever I'm quoted one of its articles of faith I'm going to identify it as part of the state religion, and point out that the Constitution bans an established religion. I'm going to remind people of Mohammed Atta and Major Hasan as examples of its evils.

I have always been in full agreement with the idea that political correctness makes you stupid. But then there are a lot of people who should know better. People who know the truth, and understand the truth but are afraid to speak the truth - this makes them cowards, not necessarily "stupid".

This cowardice is omnipresent in the mainstream media, and also in much of academia. This isn't news to anyone on this board. Trouble is, I would hate to believe that our military, the U.S military is now infected with the same politically correct cowardice. That the military could allow a Jihadist, anti-American parasite like Maj. Hassan to wear the uniform so many American soldiers have proudly worn and died in, to pretend to be a patriot, shows how much our military has sunk.

The politically correct poison gas cloud that hangs over this country has indeed weakened us more than anything our enemies could cook up. Hassan's superiors who allowed this to happen, in spite of so much evidence that Hassan was an Islamic lunatic should all be fired, court-martialed or demoted. They let the enemy inside their camp as if he was a real American patriot. This is negligence in the extreme, and almost borders on treason.

Political correctness doesn't just make you stupid, it makes you cowardly to the point of treason.

‘As horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse.’

Heh. The monumentally obvious response here is to wonder if the 14 victims would agree if they could speak. That this response will not manifest in the MSM is both predictable, and telling. It's like someone going on television and saying the sky is green, and nobody will point out that it's actually blue.

The liberals seem to be willing to accept this Al-Qaeda angle too. Since Al-Qaeda, like the Nazis, are officially sanctioned bad guys, it's much more palatable to blame them than it is to contemplate that this guy acted more or less independently based on
on his Islamic religious and political convictions.

"This isn't significant at all. Allah is just the Arabic word for God. We already knew that Hasan spoke Arabic and was a fairly devout Muslim."

Actually, Soldier of Allah is significant. Firstly, most devout Muslims would not refer to themselves as Soliders of Allah but rather Slaves of Allah to show that they submit to His will. Secondly, Hasan was not a soldier in a Muslim army nor is he part of a Muslim resistance movement so the title makes no sense. I'm pretty sure that his devotion to Islam came at a later date when his parents passed away. Personal crises can make lax Muslims more devout. Most devout Muslims, especially if they come from a Muslim background and are not converts, would never agree to join an infidel army. The Koran explicitly forbids such a thing. Hasan may have come to this realization once he became knee deep into Islam and then he began to act in a bizarre fashion. He was trying to expunge his guilt of perfidy (comforting infidel soldiers who were fighting Muslims) by going jihad and becoming a martyr.

C. Van Carter is reporting an example of the liberal religious two-step.

A discussion about Islamic extremism is diverted into a debate about generic religious extremism which can then be turned into an attack on Christianity.

Rich Lowry has posted at least 2 letters (supposedly from shrinks)defending the concept. It makes a great deal of sense.

However...what are the odds that the first documented case of the disease would be in a Muslim psychiatrist, who instead of shooting himself or ODing on valium due to all the pain decides instead to go on a shooting spree on an Army base - while the US is fighting a war against Muslim extremists?

That's the unbelievable part.

What is the relevance of this to "Political correctness strikes again"? It's an appropriate term to refer to one's 'brothers in arms' and probably has a longer history with the army than it does with socialists. Comrades is fine, but 'colleagues' sets my teeth on edge.

Tovarich probably sets many people to shivering and retching in areas of the world where you aren't.

Also there's a culture of gutter Marxism over here that uses the English language term "comrade" ad nauseum, particularly as a form of address. To many who are allergic to that culture, the term is especially objectionable. It reeks of Bill Ayers, trade unionism (in the UK), and bearded New Left minions howling on the campus green for free love and Das Kapital. Quick - get me a barf bag.
