Based on what has been reported as fact in the Fort Hood tragedy, along with some other facts: 1. There was a lone gunman, just like the grassy knoll in Dallas. 2. Hasan fired over 100 rounds with a handgun or two handguns. Which means trained military personnel, fighting the war on terrorism, just stood there like deer in the headlights while Hasan fired...reloaded...fired...reloaded... fired...reloaded...fired...reloaded... 3. The deaths and injuries due to the bullets from Hasan's gun(s) would have had the same effect had he been Jewish, Christian, a Druid, Buddhist, an atheist, a republican, a democrat, dressed in a Brooks Brother's suit, etc. 4. Islam killed no one, and never has. A man fired a gun, not a religion, or some scripture, or an ideology, etc. 5. No terrorist organization like the IRA, or Al Quaeda has taken credit for this tragedy. 6. The report is that of a lone gunman, just like Dallas Texas in 1963 when Kennedy was killed. 7. The military and Pentagon are known to manipulate facts to support their own agenda. 8. See Pat Tillman and Jessica Lynch for proof of point #7. 9. Hasan's motive is not known. ________________________ Now, assuming the "proud American right wingers" can be honest, honestly respond the two following statements: 1. When Obama and the dems took full control of D.C. (with the exception of a right wing Supreme Court) the right winger's pride and ego was bruised. 2. 9/11 bruised the ego of America.
1. There was a lone gunman, just like the grassy knoll in Dallas. True, there was a lone muslim gunman 3. The deaths and injuries due to the bullets from Hasan's gun(s) would have had the same effect had he been Jewish, Christian, a Druid, Buddhist, an atheist, a republican, a democrat, dressed in a Brooks Brother's suit, etc. True, but time after time the terrorist is a muslim - not a christtian, Druid or a Buddhist (there certainly are some rare exceptions but virtually all terrorists in the world are muslims). 4. Islam killed no one, and never has. but muslims "inspired" by Islam have killed millions innocent muslim and non-muslim civilians 5. No terrorist organization like the IRA, or Al Quaeda has taken credit for this tragedy. Al-Qaeda did not take credit for 9/11 either. Nor did Islam. At any rate, lone islamic terrorists are just as bad as organized Islamic terror groups. 9. Hasan's motive is not known. Sure it is, it's no rocket science. It was a revenge for what he believed to be an american anti-muslim crusade. PS. Thanks for playing the devil's advocate. At the end of the day though Hasan is still yet another devil produced by Islam.
1. There was a lone gunman, just like the grassy knoll in Dallas. True, there was a lone muslim gunman ...and the lone gunman was likely using a gun and ammunition made and and sold in America. Both his religion and the weapons he used have not been charged with any crime. 3. The deaths and injuries due to the bullets from Hasan's gun(s) would have had the same effect had he been Jewish, Christian, a Druid, Buddhist, an atheist, a republican, a democrat, dressed in a Brooks Brother's suit, etc. True. Yes, quite true. 4. Islam killed no one, and never has. but muslims "inspired" by Islam have killed millions innocent muslim and non-muslim civilians Unless someone is brainwashed and therefore not acting of their own free will, they make their own decisions. Inspiration has nothing to do with it... Courts judge actions, and guess at the motive unless there is a confession... 5. No terrorist organization like the IRA, or Al Quaeda has taken credit for this tragedy. Al-Qaeda did not take credit for 9/11 either. Nor did Islam. At any rate, lone islamic terrorists are just as bad as organized Islamic terror groups. There is no proof that Hasan was a terrorist. No charges have been filed for terrorism. He has been charged with 13 charges of premeditated murder under the military's legal system. 9. Hasan's motive is not known. Sure it is, it's no rocket science. It was a revenge for what he believed to be an american anti-muslim crusade. Rocket science is about fact, not premeditated bigotry like yours...
Well lets put it this way I'd be more than pleased to shove a claymore up his arse and introduce him to allah. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M18A1_Claymore_Antipersonnel_Mine
