ter-ror-ist [ter-er-ist] noun: 1) a person, usually a member of a group, who uses or advocates terrorism; 2) a person who terrorizes or frightens others.
Veterans’ Day brings on a whole new meaning today in the aftermath of last week’s terrorist’s attack at Fort Hood, Texas.
Yes, I called Hasan a terrorist.
I do believe Hasan was linked to a group. I do believe those soldiers he was shooting at were frightened, to say the least. So, by definition, Hasan is a terrorist. He’s not suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. He’s not insane. He is a terrorist.
I have to ask the question though: With all the red flags popping up around Hasan, why did our military not kick him out? Were they afraid that booting this guy would cause a discrimination lawsuit? Have we become so politically correct that we are putting our nation at risk?
Hasan says that he was bullied and ridiculed because of his religious beliefs.
I have been bullied and ridiculed for my beliefs, also, even as I write my blogs, but, I haven’t taken a gun out and started shooting people. The thought never crosses my mind.
I’m not an Islamophobe, either; however, it is an odd coincidence that last week a Muslim wounded and killed his fellow soldiers and last night, another Muslim, John Allen Muhammad was executed for murdering 10 people in Washington, DC in 2002.
It makes one wonder what they’re teaching in Islam today. It doesn’t make me want to kill Muslims. It doesn’t make me hate Muslims. It just makes me wonder.
I was taught, and still believe, no matter the religion, no matter the belief, cold-blooded murder is wrong.
I had the utmost respect for our soldiers before the jihad at Ft. Hood; however, now I have much more compassion.
I have seen our soldiers ridiculed as they returned from Viet Nam. I have heard stories of heroism in WWII from my father and his brothers. I have touched the tear-stained face of a mother who lost her son in a battle during Desert Storm.I didn’t think that I would ever live to see an American soldier slaughtering his fellow soldiers in a jihad.
So, today, I salute you, military sons, daughters, fathers, and mothers, and I give you all a heart-felt thank you, for without your courage and service I could not be writing this blog.

By the way, it was 14 people murdered by an Islamic terrorist
The Forgotten Victim of the Ft Hood Massacre
From www.lvanwerven.com November 12 2009
News coverage of the massacre at Ft. Hood, Texas last Thursday consistently refers to the number of people who were murdered as 13. The same holds true for the opinions and commentaries expressed by various groups and organizations active in pro-family causes.
What a shame that, unless we have missed something, all of them have ignored the fact that there was a 14th victim—the unborn child of Pvt. Francheska Velez, age 21, who was three months pregnant when she was gunned down by Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan.
In 2004, the Congress enacted Public Law 108-212 “The Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004,” a.k.a. Laci and Conner’s Law, recognizing that an unborn embryo or fetus can be a legal victim if he or she is injured or killed during the commission of a federal crime of violence.
The bill was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives by a vote of 254-163 on February 26, 2004 and in the Senate by a vote of 61-38 on March 25, 2004. It was signed into law by President George W. Bush on April 1, 2004.
Pro-life and pro-family groups led citizens across America in the effort to support enactment of that legislation. At the time, it was considered and still remains an important step that at last recognized the humanity of the child in the womb.
Yet, with the exception of Michelle Malkin’s mention of it last night on Sean Hannity’s program, there has been virtually no mention that there were 14 victims including the baby in his mother’s womb at Ft. Hood. How is it that he has been forgotten.
14 people were killed at Ft. Hood. Let us mourn them all.
Political correctness helped kill our soldiers!!!
Because of it, an Islamic fanatic was allowed to pull off another terrorist attack right under our noses!!!
Those who make absurd claims that people who oppose political correctness hate equal rights, are the very ones that let these murderous lunatics freely plan their attacks!!
Authorities had no legal basis.
"Political Correctness" is a conservative term of derision, used by those who oppose equal rights. There are many reasons why the authorities did not put Major Hasan in custody when they sensed he was behaving irrationally, aside from its illegality, but "political correctness" was not one of them. Doctors protect other doctors, lawyers protect other lawyers, and priests protect other priests. The authorities in this case, however, sincerely believed that Major Hasan did not represent a security threat until he went on his killing spreee. They were wrong.
There have been numerous mass killings over the years. In many cases, the perpetrator had exhibited signs of instability. Soung-Hui Cho, for instance, was well known to the Virginia Tech mental health unit. School authorities, however, did not think he presented a clear and present danger, until he murdered 32 students. "PC" had nothing to do with their decision. Timothy McVeigh did not even attempt to disguise his anti-government feelings. Many people were aware of his threats. Nobody in authority thought he presented a real threat, until he murdered 168 people. "PC" had nothing to do with his case either.
Now, I confess that I am biased against all things Muslim. I feel that our lax immigration policy leaves us vulnerable to a "fifth column" which may, eventually, destroy us from within. European nations have finally realized that they are facing this possibilty and are moving hesitantly to tighten up their laws. Unfortunately our congressional representatives are behaving more like clowns in a three ring circus than serious legislators.
Good post, Danette
Let's call it what it is. Screw PC! PC probably got 13 people killed that didn't have to die. PC is what folks like the Star preach, sitting in their offices hammering on their keyboards, while other folks are risking their lives.
.
I gotta believe if we had radical Jews in this country killing in the name of their religion that other Jews would root them out, and root out the folks teaching the hate. But the "good Muslims" just sit back and watch and talk about their religion being a "peaceful religion". If it's so damn "peaceful", why are they hellbent on killing us?
