"I think there is a culture of obsessive political correctness"Now Tom Ricks asks some seriously, er, moderate questions at his Foreign Policy blog, "The Best Defense"...Another warning sign:
Fort Hood gunman had told US military colleagues that infidels should have their throats cut...
So let me get this straight.
The guy at Foreign Policy castigates Hasan's superiors for "trying to be careful" -- then pleads for forgiveness in conclusion: "I am trying to be careful here."
Posted by: Kathy Shaidle at November 9, 2009 2:55 PMIs our super- sensitivity to political correctness the core tool of all radicals to achieve their goals? Of course it,
Normally, the damage they do is subtle and sometimes even subliminal. This time their crusade has ended in a terrorist act.
I suggest this is ultimately what happens when we go so far with ridiculous extremes like human rights commissions. People in places that should and could act are walking on egg shells. As a result Extremists are allowed to practice their trade.
Well, I for one am done being 'careful'and the multi-culti PC flits out there can pound sand if they don't like it.
We know who these arseholes are. They have attacked exactly like this, time and time again. And each time we have to be restrained, bury our dead and not say anything that might offend. We HAVE to prove how much we love brown people.
The fact is that if we let those people into our country, they will bring their crazies and that stupid religion with them. They will bring hatred, violence and racism just as they have done in country after country in Europe.
The other problem was that those soldiers were not in a position to defend themselves, never mind their country. Military policy should be changed so that all soldiers on duty are armed. They swore an oath to defend the country and they can't do it without guns.

Posted by: Indiana Homez at November 9, 2009 4:04 PMI'm not a psychology expert but when someone threatens to cut someone's throat, isn't that a sign that something's not right?
Posted by: Osumashi Kinyobe at November 9, 2009 4:07 PMSomebody please tell me,again, how we're going to eventually win over Islam.
As November 11th approaches,I can't help but think of the difference a generation has made.
Posted by: dmorris at November 9, 2009 4:08 PM"Somebody please tell me,again, how we're going to eventually win over Islam."
When the average western woman realizes that her weekly trip to the salon is in peril is when the tide will change direction. Divided as we are, we can not win in the long-term.
Apathy from western women and their dismal response to atrocities committed against women abroad has enabled our enemies to move against us and within us.
In addition, our numbers will continue to dwindle while at the same time Muslim numbers increase. There may be a time when women may have to choose between careers and baby making if we are to preserve our society.
Indiana:
You are so right. Muslims treat women like baby making machines; the whole theme of Mark Steyn's America Alone was this demographic failure. That's why they don't want them to go school, as the more educated a woman is, the fewer children she bears.
As the father of two beautiful and intelligent girls, I want them to go to university, and have great careers. But I wonder if that aspiration (shared by many, I'm sure) could doom Canada in the long run? As Steyn pointed out, in a democracy, numbers eventually win. In less than 20 years, Muslims will be in a majority in France and Britain. Will we see the overthrow of Western ideals? It's going to take longer in Canada, but if we keep our current immigration policy, it's inevitable.
And Kate and Kathy - are you still on the sidelines? I'd be willing to help... (just kidding)
Posted by: KevinB at November 9, 2009 5:00 PMIndeed we do have a serious problem, since the Ft. Hood terrorist attack is only one of many since 9/11 throughout the West. I note one thing stands out from our side, and it is that in every single case the MSM, the authorities and the chattering class claimed the perpetrator was a victim of some sort and refused any link to Islam. There is no need to paint all Muslims with the same brush, but it is imperative to accept that there is a clear connection with the followers and supporters of militant Islamism.

I too am the father of two girls and I've toiled with the same dilemma. I will recommend to get their educations but I will also council them to find a good man with good family values and start your family early. My wife and I went against conventional wisdom(ironic isn't it) and committed to each other, got married and had kids while young. I reject the theory that career is most important and family planning should take a back seat. My wife and I seem to be much happier than our peers who have expensive stuff but delayed commitment and kids until later. JMO. I'm happy to say that at 35 my wife and I can go out when we want, and leave our kids at home. Life is good when your kids are grown.
Why is racism always a one-way street? In the West, racism seems to imply whites who are prejudiced against darker skinned people.
I'd suggest we have as many darker skinned people, especially of militant Islamist orientation, who are prejudiced against lighter skinned people and are taking things into their own hands to punish and humiliate.
Why is this acceptable when, clearly, the obverse situation is not? Reverse racism is just as despicable as the "old fashioned" white-against-black kind.
Political correctness is a sickness unto death and it's time we started naming it for what it is: cowardly, a stranger to truth, unjust, dangerous, deadly.
Posted by: batb at November 9, 2009 6:16 PMHeard on the Glenn Beck radio program: 'the war is now on our soil. GWB tried to keep it "over there" but now it is clearly over here.' (Not an exact quote)
Posted by: Gunney99 at November 9, 2009 6:38 PMWhere's our hope?
If it's not in Jesus Christ, then it had better be in an increased and more heavily supported military.
That and ships lined up at every dock in N.A. to take the SOBs back/to their favourite Muslim country.
And ask yourself, this November 11th:
Who will come to the aid of the Jews this time?
I note the similarities and the differences between the massacres carried out by Lepine/Gharbi. 20 years ago, and Hasan last week. When Gharbi shot 14 women, feminists indicted all Canadian males, as being responsible. This despite the fact that most Canadians had nothing whatever in common with him. Feminists even browbeat certain men into wearing coloured ribbons for a few years in comemoration. Hasan killed 13 people. He is a member of a much smaller group,American muslim men. Still MSM spokesmen immediately say there is no conection between his religion and the massacre; muslims are in no way responsible,but are likely to be victimized themselves. The first CBC radio report quoted military sources concerned about a possible backlash against other muslim soldiers.
Why are the two tragedies treated so differently?
Martin
Excellent point.
Generations of differences change the old war tune "Over There" to "Over Here", in a stunningly barbaric fashion. Islamic extremism has brought indignity and radical butchery of innocent people (seen as opponents merely because of differing belief systems) to unprecedented levels of inhumanity. What "gets in their heads" is there from birth, and there would be no sure way to vanquish this other than via the holocaustic methods which freedom-loving people abhor and freedom-prohibitive people deny. A dear departed friend of mine who was an accomplished veteran from the battlefields of North Africa in WW2 once made the comment "you can't trust an Arab". I was startled by this statement the instant he said it, turned off by the smell of prejudice, but he spoke it from experience, adding that you should never turn your back on one. If he had lived longer, he would have witnessed the affirmation of his admonition many times over, from the sneak-attack hijackings of commercial airliners to the beheadings of hostages, right through the planting of bombs and wacking of peacekeepers to the current internal murderous sabotage and betrayal which now tops the list of Fort Hood's unfortunate attributes. Truly, there is no discrimination here, just the wisdom that comes from experience that we must safeguard our future from those insanely determined to take it away.
Posted by: Tripper523 at November 9, 2009 8:24 PM Martin, I often wondered why it took until 1999 before a Toronto Star reporter exposed Gamil as a Muslim who had a Pro-Sharia father that abused both he and his mother.
The Femi-Nazi's are now in bed with the Islamofacsists because they both hate Western males that aren't Muslims.
Even the Gay-Stappo Fundamentalist Homosexuals that force their ways on society have joined in the Pro-Abortion and Pro-Hamas/Hezbollah rallies in Toronto and North American.
All I can say is that they will Rue that Day they joined in with the facsists because Biology and Science will lead to the Designer-Baby to purge the Same-sex Gene code to protect a child from harm and thus.....wipe out the Homosexaul traits in Humans.
The goods news folks.....the Jihadists will start to slaughter and behead the Leftist/Idiots first that bought into the Islam=Peace tripe and follwed the bread crumbs right to the slaughter-House disguised as a Mosque Of Tolerance and Peace.
This in turn will help humanity thin out the Gene-Pool and purge the morons that lost their Survival-gene for Self-preservation,the Jihadists will be so tired from all those Yahoos that volunteered to be killed that these Wife-beating Pro-Pedophile followers of Muhammed won't survive fighting Real-Men who will die for their Childrens Future.
The Jihadists will die for the Alleged Virgins in paradise with Muhammed,and they'll even murder their kids by strapping on bombs to them because they don't care about the child future.
My issue is not with Muslims.
It's the Quran Stupid!.
Know Islam No Peace
No Islam Know Peace
the MSM 'mainstream muslims' are distancing themselves from Hasan:

Posted by: curious_george at November 9, 2009 8:50 PMWhat "gets in their heads" is there from birth
I disagree - all religion is a learned trait. No one is born with faith.
But what really bugs me is that Muslims can't get along with anyone else. Unless they dominate a country, they are always complaining and trying to change the rules. Here in Toronto, the Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and Christians all live together without fighting. But the imams are agitating constantly, trying to impose sharia when we have a society that doesn't discriminate because of one's religion. Unfortunately, our democracy will make it possible for them to impose their views. Wonder what they'd do with HRC?
Posted by: KevinB at November 9, 2009 10:09 PMThere should be a poll.
What motivated Major Nidal Malik Hasan to kill 13 and injure 38 at Fort Hood:
- PTSD by proxy (ABC news)
- pre-PTSD (NPR)
- toothache (Geraldo Rivera)
- he was bullied (CNN)
- unknown mystery (military chaplain)
- the real motivation that everyone wants to say but is afraid to.
I am still reminded of Judge Sidney Linden and his sentence of Mark Harding. Harding, a Christian preacher, had handed out leaflets at a High School. The leaflets quoted the Koran and so on. To avoid six months in prison, Harding had to travel for three hours to take instruction from an Imam on the Koran. They almost broke this man and humiliated him.
Where is Judge Linden now? Where is the cowardly politically correct Human Rights Commission?
Ah well, there is Little Mosque on the Prairie to tell us
how lovable and dumb Canadians are.
Sorry, I was a bit loose with that comment. What I implying was that radical indoctrination "occurs very soon after these kids are born." I realize such events are NOT genetic. Also, at the rate of at least 6-1 in favour of their relative population increase over ours, we are coming into dire straits.
Posted by: Tripper523 at November 9, 2009 11:41 PMI see the DC sniper John Allen Muhammad is finally getting his today, Nov. 10.
As a member of the Nation of Islam, Muhammad helped provide security for the "Million Man March" in 1995
"peace and blessings of Allaah be on him"
Stop execution of people in jail, fix people instead or keep them in mental hospital for they die do research about them using doctors or made drugs can help mental illness ...
====
Who is John Allen Muhammad? who kill with sniper so many people randomly this is not first time happened in US this is corruption of board of education and youth grow and marriage and life, Check the en.wikipedia.org
How US system tried to put new army guy who may john Allen Muhammad may be killed so many innocent civilian in Afghanistan and Iraq as well, maj Hassan link or may the same time, They did execute today the John Allen Muhammad
People who they have brain damage hard to fix them that is why they will kill them such as John Allen Muhumad who kill so many other innocent in US can those people keep mentally ill in jail for rest of life and not kill them to do testing in their brain fix or change them as link with mental hospital research instead here or can be danger to public they can back again if they repeat can we risk it or can be find the way to fix them , Those people must save to do more research about them to prevent and stop or reduce or fix mental ill with done more research with doctor know cause of action I think all is drugs and alcohol mix caused this murderer
This was more personal drug adultry of Allen Muhammad caused him divorce and pain and uses his skills of army he went to Afghanistan and Iraq, Also All Brazil and Mexico drug killing also link with use of drug and sell small amount and got billion profit cause murder illegality
