that's what happened isn't it.

Now Dr. Baruch Goldstein was a shrink from Brooklyn, wasn't he?


> No mention of personal responsibilty, muslim extremism, just a good american strained by the horrors of war and alleged harassment from fellow soldiers.

Dan do you have any evidence of his being a 'muslim extremist'?

From the article:

"A source told National Public Radio's Joseph Shapiro that Hasan was given a period of probation early in his postgraduate work for proselytizing Islam with coworkers and soldiers he was treating."

"Robert Spencer at JihadWatch.org, says the evidence points to a clear link between Hasan's Muslim faith and the massacre.

"CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations) has been working overtime … and the 'Muslims fear backlash' victimhood machine is in high gear. No one, of course, is questioning whether there might be any connection between this man's devoutly held Islam and the massacre today. After all, how could there be any such connection? 'Islam is a Religion of Peace,'" he wrote. "

The Muslim Army psychiatrist who allegedly opened fire on fellow soldiers at Fort Hood and killed 13 aggressively pushed Islam on his patients to the point he was disciplined over the issue, according to a report today.

Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, 39, is suspected of opening fire with two handguns yesterday at the Texas base's readiness center, where soldiers were getting last-minute checkups before deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan .

A source told National Public Radio's Joseph Shapiro that Hasan was given a period of probation early in his postgraduate work for proselytizing Islam with coworkers and soldiers he was treating.

The source was someone who worked with Hasan at the time, NPR reported.

Hasan did his early postgraduate work at the Uniformed Service University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md.

Hasan, reportedly is in stable condition after being shot four times by a female civilian officer, who also was wounded. He was upset about his scheduled overseas deployment, according to Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson of Texas.

Nader Hasan, the suspect's first cousin, told Fox News his relative was a "good" American, was born in Arlington, Va., and went to local high schools and then Virginia Tech.

The Associated Press has said authorities actually started looking into Hasan's activities several months ago after Internet postings about suicide bombings were linked to him.

Robert Spencer at JihadWatch.org, says the evidence points to a clear link between Hasan's Muslim faith and the massacre.

"CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations) has been working overtime … and the 'Muslims fear backlash' victimhood machine is in high gear. No one, of course, is questioning whether there might be any connection between this man's devoutly held Islam and the massacre today. After all, how could there be any such connection? 'Islam is a Religion of Peace,'" he wrote.

Spencer noted officials are saying, as NPR reported, "the motive behind the shootings was not immediately clear."

"Nothing can be made clear to those who do not wish to see," Spencer writes

A participant in a forum at JihadWatch charged the "Pentagon, the American military, the Army, those who run Fort Hood, are guilty, in their refusal to recognize the effect of Islam on the minds of men, in their willful ignorance of what is contained in Quran, Hadith, and Sira."

The contributor said everyone in authority "in the Western world who presumes to protect and defend 'the people,' has a duty to learn about Islam. … Nothing but immediate, and detailed knowledge, of the texts and the tenets and the attitudes and the atmospherics of Islam, will do."

Ignoring Evidence Suggesting Otherwise, Fox News Military Analyst Ralph Peters Likens Fort Hood Shooting To 9/11

There are still many questions to be answered about Nidal Malik Hasan, the alleged gunman at Thursday’s Fort Hood massacre. But instead of showing forbearance, Fox News deliberately whipped up fear and, probably, intolerance, in their audience, by calling on “military analyst” Ralph Peters, a retired Lt. Col. with a history of extremist, incendiary opinions. Sure enough, while the rest of the world waits for the results of the investigation, Peters ignored reports that Hasan rejected religious extremism and announced on last night’s (11/6/09) O’Reilly Factor that Hasan was an Islamic terrorist, declared Fort Hood “the new 9/11,” attacked President Obama for asking Americans not to rush to judgment and suggested that the Army’s political correctness was to blame. With video.

The last time I saw Peters, he was advocating that the Taliban shoot a captured American soldier who, Peters alleged, had deserted his unit. “I don't care how hard it sounds, as far as I'm concerned, the Taliban can save us a lot of legal hassles and legal bills,” Peters told Fox News’ Julie Banderas. That prompted a bi-partisan group of 23 veterans in Congress to demand an apology from Fox News for Peters' remarks. But, apparently, you can never be too divisive or hate monger too much on Fox -- unless, of course, you're a liberal.

Peters told O’Reilly that the Fort Hood shootings were “the worst terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11… It was committed by a Muslim fanatic.” But in an article called, Big Questions on Gunman; Few Details, the New York Times reported, “Muslims who attended mosques with Major Hasan in Virginia, Maryland and Texas said they had never heard him express extremist views about politics or religion. And though openly opposed to the wars, he did not express anti-American sentiments, they said… Yahya Hendi, a part-time chaplain at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, said Major Hasan had once praised him for giving a sermon opposing extremism. 'He felt that Muslims needed to speak about peace and love,' Imam Hendi said."

<<Now Who is Politicizing Shooter Incident?

Feelling a little defensive after your disgusting attempt at tying Obama to the shooter? You should be ashamed of yourself.

In addition, your claims about the Washington Post not mentioning extremism are false. www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...47.html
