There is a division of the house. On one side are the politically correct in government, the leftist mainstream media, and a raft of Islamist apologists. One and all are tripping over each other in reassuring us that the mass murderers such as Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan and suicide bombers who detonate their explosive vests in crowded marketplaces and even mosques are individual anomalies and Islam is not responsible for what they do.
On the other hand are those who have been fed up with the numberless daily horrific acts that are clearly committed under the banner of Islam throughout the world. In all fairness, there needs to be a distinction. Numerous criminal acts are also committed, on a daily basis, by non-Muslims. The critical difference is that non-Muslim criminals do not hoist a religious banner to justify their misdeeds, while the Muslims proudly claim that they commit their heinous acts in obedience to the dictates of their religious faith.
Would someone, please, explain what motivated Nidal Hasan who had been, at tax payers expense, educated from college all the way through medical school and post medical-school training, to turn his deadly weapons against a nation that gave him everything he had?
If Islam had nothing to do with what Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan did, why:
* had he repeatedly preached the ascendancy of Islam to the U.S. Constitution?
* had he publicly supported Islamic suicide bombing?
* had he proclaimed his highest loyalty to Islam?
* had he been in contact with violent anti-U.S. Islamists and a virulent Yemeni Imam?
* did he distribute copies of the Quran to people the morning of his bloody attack?
* did he keep screaming Allah-o-Akbar as he heartlessly sprayed over a hundred bullets, killing thirteen and injuring some thirty innocent men and women?
Here is the truth, as bitter as it may be. Islam is the culprit. Islam is anything but a religion of peace. Violence is at the very core of Islam. Violence is institutionalized in the Muslims holy book, the Quran, in many suras:
Qur'an:9:5 "Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war."
Qur'an:9:112 "The Believers fight in Allah's cause; they slay and are slain, kill and are killed."
Qur'an:8:39 "So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world)."
Qur'an:8:65 "O Prophet, urge the faithful to fight. If there are twenty among you with determination they will vanquish two hundred; if there are a hundred then they will slaughter a thousand unbelievers, for the infidels are a people devoid of understanding."
Qur'an:9:38 "Believers, what is the matter with you, that when you are asked to go forth and fight in Allah's Cause you cling to the earth? Do you prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? Unless you go forth, He will afflict and punish you with a painful doom, and put others in your place."
Qur'an:47:4 "When you clash with the unbelieving Infidels in battle (fighting Jihad in Allah's Cause), smite their necks until you overpower them, killing and wounding many of them. At length, when you have thoroughly subdued them, bind them firmly, making (them) captives. Thereafter either generosity or ransom (them based upon what benefits Islam) until the war lays down its burdens. Thus are you commanded by Allah to continue carrying out Jihad against the unbelieving infidels until they submit to Islam."
And the Quran is considered by Muslims as the word-for-word literal edicts of the Muslims god, Allah.
Right from the start, violence served as the engine of Islam under the command and supervision of Muhammad himself. For one, the Prophets son-in-law cousin, Ali, was titled the Commander of the Faithful for his unsurpassed feats of butchery. Ali with the assistance of one or two of his thugs, beheaded some seven hundred captives, most of them Jews, in only one day. This man, highly esteemed by the prophet of Allah, had a sword that had its own nameZolfaghar. Alis portrait, holding the menacing sword, adorns the homes and shops throughout Shia-lands. And this man, Ali, is revered by the Shia at the same level as Muhammad.
On the Sunni side, Muhammads co-revered is Umar, another unabashed killer of untold numbers. And of course the choice weapon of these champions of the religion of peace was the sword. And to this day, a sword adorns the flag of the birthplace of the religion of peace, Saudi Arabia.
And Islam, by the nature of its very doctrine, appeals to mans base nature. It promotes intolerance, hatred, discrimination, and much more:
Qur'an:61:2 "O Muslims, why say one thing and do another? Grievously odious and hateful is it in the sight of Allah that you say that which you do not. Truly Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in a battle array, as if they were a solid cemented structure."
In reality, Islam is like a deadly contagious disease. Once it invades the mind of its victim, this debilitating disease is capable of transforming him to a helpless pawn that has no choice but to execute what he is directed to do.
Of the reported 1.3 billion Muslims in the world, millions are already trapped in the terminal stages of this affliction while millions of others are rapidly joining them. The people enslaved with the extreme cases of Islamic mental disease are highly infectious. They actively work to transmit the disease to others, while they themselves engage in horrific acts of mayhem and violence to demonstrate their unconditional obedience to the dictates of the Islamic cult of violence.
The savagery and variety of the actions of these Islamic captives are seen daily around the globe. Many of these acts, committed under the banner of Islam, have become so commonplace that the world has come to view them as the normal part and parcel of a troubled humanity. And, from time-to-time, the world is shocked into a passing and momentary realization of the evil deeds these Islamist robots commit and quickly gets over it and does nothing to seriously address this affliction of humanity.
The recent dastardly mass murder at Fort Hood, committed by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan will be forgotten by the public before very long. Life will continue on its deadly course, pushed along in a variety of ways by agents of death, Islamists. Only the families who lost their loved-ones and those who survived the bullets have to live the rest of their lives with incapacitating injuries, in the main, wont be able to put the episode behind them.
The mass murderer Nidal Malik Hasan did not riddle people with bullets under the pressure of momentary insanity. The insanity, ironically, in a man who was trained to help people with sanity was introduced in him from the moment of birth and from the very early years when he prostrated himself five times daily toward Mecca in expression of total submission to the dogma of hate called Islam.
Islam is a mental retrovirus that has mutated into numerous varieties and degrees of severity, over the past 1400 years. Everyone born in a Muslim family, as well as those who convert to Islam, contract a particular mutation of the Islamic Virus. As is the case with all retroviruses, the Islamic Virus burrows deeply in the person and erupts, from time-to-time with potentially devastating consequences.
The Islamic Virus first divests the person of his most fundamental human attribute. It takes away his right to make decisions himself and absolves him, in return, of any responsibility for his actions rendered in blind obedience to it.
A true Muslim does not and cannot believe in freedom of choice. In the religion of IslamSubmissioneverything is up to Allah, as clearly and repeatedly stipulated in the Quran .The Raison d'être for the Muslim is to be an unconditional submissive to the will and dictates of Allah. Everything that a good Muslim does is contingent upon the will and decree of Allah, he is indoctrinated to believe.
Humanity is facing a deeply troubling dilemma. On the one hand is the desire of enlightened people whose aim it is to forge a world of diverse people into one universal society ruled by peace and justice for everyone while, on the other hand, Islamists are hell-bent on imposing their stone-age system on everyone. Tellingly, the Muslims themselves are at one anothers throat regarding which of dozens of Islamic sects dogma should rule.
For now, Islam is busy with what it did from the time of its birth, fighting the non-Muslims and infighting.
Truth be told: Violence is the animating force of Islam. Islam is a religion born through violence, raised by violence, thrives on violence and dies without violence.

Guess what,Buckwheat? I was in the US Army,and I do know the history of the MoH
So why'd you ask me the question, Rutabaga?
"By your sword you shall live, and your brother you shall serve. But when you become restive, you will cast his yoke from off your neck." Genesis 27:40
How many of them are, how many are not, and compared to the murders that take place day in and day out how much of a problem are they really to anyone but you screamy Heebies?
OOOOH! You said Heebies! Careful,or you will blow your cover!
That explains why the American forces hunker down in fortifications surrounded by blast-resistant walls and triple concertina wire, don't go almost anywhere without being in armored vehicles
That's right. It's hard to defend yourself against cowards that fight like sneak thief's.
I remember seeing all the ads in Shotgun News years ago that were selling Egyptian army rifles that said "Never fired,and only dropped once!"
Here's a secret: debates are easier when you know what you're talking about. You should try it sometime.
Sez the idiot that claims Muslims have some sort of moral superiority because they don't use their non-existant or incapable Air Forces or Marines to attack us in America?
I chose to leave public school in ninth grade. It was interfering with my education, an education I pursued on my own at a few university libraries.
History is far too important to be left to teachers to impart. Public education is why you're surrounded by a sea of stupid. I bet you still believe in many fairy tales that your teachers believed in too.

Boo hoo. The cowards are the people hiding behind the walls, fences, armored vehicles, and aircraft.

After all, no Muslim would ever lie to a infidel,right?
Since I'm not one, you'll have to ask one.

Egypt, Lybia, Moroccco, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Kuwait and many other Muslim countries in the Middle East all have air forces, and most of them have navies.
LOL!
I guess now you are going to lie to us all and claim those air forces and navies are capable of and competent enough to attack the US?
None of their aircraft have enough range to get here,and they won't attack our forces in the middle east because they know they will get shot down the minute they try. As for their Navies,the USCG could defeat them all in a afternoon,never mind the US Navy. Assuming of course that their patrol boats didn't sink trying to cross the ocean or that they didn't get lost and attack Argentina instead.
The cowards are the people hiding behind the walls, fences, armored vehicles, and aircraft.
You have it all wrong, AGA. They're HEROES, for the love of God. The cowards are the ones that are defending their families and homes from foreign occupation.
Didn't you get the memo? Whenever the American military is invoked, we have to throw the word "hero" somewhere.

You mean you'e not going to wait for his rigorous defective work finding out exactly why his heroine Sarah Palin happens to have a joo flag prominently displayed in her office after ridiculing you for stating that she does?

His depth of knowledge on a wide range of topics has us all a little cowed. You're wise to retreat from his withering analysis.

According to your blather, they're supposed to be suiciders looking for an easy ticket to Paradise, dum bass.
If they were suiciders they wouldn't care if they met a quick end. The easier and quicker the better.
Thanks again for rebutting yourself. I couldn't have done it better myself.
Thus endeth today's lessons.

No. The cowards are the ones hiding in the Mosques and sending out the retards to do their dying for them. Fighting women and children is where they excel.
That doesn't prove you have the ability to reason.
That I chose to leave public school in ninth grade because I knew what BS it was is proof positive of the ability to reason.
You have yet to show me one instance of an ability to reason on your part, unless you consider the ability to trash-talk and spew out predigested thoughts from the mass media as 'reasoning'.
SP, what is it about this version of America 2.0 that makes you so proud?
Damn little,but it used to be one hell of a good country at one time,and there are still a few traces of that greatness left. We should encourage that,not knock it.

I know. It was obvious. Your confession wasn't necessary,but it is appreciated.
You better go look under your bed. There may be a Jew hiding there.
Gollleee, you're jes' so witty misster - just keep them stingers cummin'. I is jes' laffin' my glootiemaxeemus off.
You're a ryeut.

That is your opinion and welcome to it. We all have that.
However DONT bring the endless obscene name calling here. All of us have seen quite enough of that in our lives.
If you look on any discussion board you choose, it is impossible for an Israel apologist and/or WOT supporter to remain civil and factual for any length of time.
Their glorified versions of history such as the Crusades and the Middle Ages are demonstrably false, their claims of Jewish persecution over the ages wither once actions of Jews over the ages to make themselves intensely disliked are recounted, and there is no justification in today's day and age for one country to be set up for the benefit of one religion, even to the point of forcibly evicting people who were there first and members of another religion.
So all they have left is hyperbole "Terrist lover! Muslim! Hitlerite!" and name calling. Without that they have nothing.

You mean "Cast Lead" where the mighty Israeli Army showed their manliness by using White Phosphorous on children, and using children as human shields to do search and destroy on the rest of their families? You mean "Cast Lead" where they bombarded a third world ghetto with all the modern firepower of a first world ghetto in an assault that even their most sycophantic apologists have trouble not admitting that it was a hellish war crime (including Depleted Uranium tipped weapons leaving toxic residue for the next 4.5 Billion years)? That "Cast Lead"?

There is still a lot of good if you look around you on a local level. Maybe not for you because you live in NYC,but there is for those of us who live in "fly over country".
It's when you get to the national level that things go all to hell.
