Cause Of Death: Political Correctness

The Army psychiatrist suspected of killing 13 people at Fort Hood reportedly warned senior Army physicians in 2007 that the military should allow Muslim soldiers to be released as conscientious objectors instead of fighting in wars to avoid "adverse events."

According to The Washington Post, Major Nidal Malik Hasan was supposed to make a presentation on a medical topic during his senior year as a psychiatric resident at Walter Reed Medical Center.

Instead, Hasan lectured his supervisors and two dozen mental health staff members on Islam, homicide bombings and threats the military could encounter from Muslims conflicted about fighting against other Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Under a slide titled "Comments," he wrote: "If Muslim groups can convince Muslims that they are fighting for God against injustices of the 'infidels'; ie: enemies of Islam, then Muslims can become a potent adversary ie: suicide bombing, etc." [sic]

The last bullet point on that page reads simply: "We love death more then [sic] you love life!"

On the final slide, labeled "Recommendation," Hasan wrote: "Department of Defense should allow Muslims [sic] Soldiers the option of being released as 'Conscientious objectors' to increase troop morale and decrease adverse events."

"There were definitely clear indications that Hasan's loyalties were not with America," Lt. Col. Val Finnell, Hasan's classmate at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md. He and Hasan were students in the school's public health master's degree program from 2007-2008.

"The issue here is that there's a political correctness climate in the military. They don't want to say anything because it would be considered questioning somebody's religious belief, or they're afraid of an equal opportunity lawsuit.

As information comes out it is obvious that intelligence existed on the Major. The question is at what point does "talking about something" become "suspicion of doing something" It is a fine line. I am not sure it falls under politcal correctness. What if this guy was a Methodist or agnostic. Would they have intervened prior to the act?

I wonder what they did with the Japanese in this country during WW II?

I haven't heard any Methodists talking about suicide bombings, or trying to contact al quaida.
This guy was a clear threat. Even now, nobody wants to admit this was a terrorist act.
People had better realize what this PC stupidity is costing us..

The current White House has created an atmosphere where we are more worried about "Radical Conservatives" then we are about the real terrorists. 7 years under the great President GW Bush without an attack on American soil. The liberals have demonized Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld. All they did was put our nations security out front of political correctness and re-election worries.

The Muslim monster, Hasan, should be hung upside down by his feet, have his mouth stuffed with raw pork, his body wrapped a hog hide, then have patriotic Americans piss on him and beat him till he died, then bury him in the hog hide. Now that should have a REAL effect of encouraging muslims in our military to avoid "adverse events."

Folks,
Please do a little research on the internet about this case. Don't be so quick to believe everything you hear or see on MSM. The media is a mouthpiece for this illegal government and has propped up these illegal wars.
Listen, read, educate yourself. Think about the story.
