That is the most ignorant, blind, moronic, idiotic statement in the media right now. Haven't seen a topic on it yet, so my unknown arse will gladly say it.

Major Hasan. When it happened, people jumped up to be the first to say "wonder how long it'll be til Fox calls him a terrorist!!!" Funny part about that, It was the leftwing media who first mentioned his "arabic sounding name" and reports about him shouting praises to Allah.

Now the real truth is coming out, and to few people's surprise, he was a Muslim terrorist afterall. But we aren't allowed to say that... nope. It was "PTSD," even though he hadn't even been deployed yet... or perhaps it was because he was "teased" as one retarded media figure put it.

So let's see... when Christopher Monfort murdered a police officer last week because he did not like the evil po-po... he was instantly labeled a domestic terrorist. The Orlando shooter last week, Jason Rodriguez, he was instantly labeled a domestic terrorist. The ignorant media and that idiot president of ours jumped at the chance to point out racism behind Prof. Gates' arrest. Yet, Hasan is not a terrorist, and we shouldn't say that. In fact, let's send the idiot who sent out a memo labeling military vets who are anti-abortion, anti-illegal immigration, and gun owners as right wing extremists over to UAE to tell them that the US will not tolerate a backlash on Muslims. Let's go further, let's ignore that fact that the US military knew about Hasan's "electronic contact" to terrorist groups. Let's ignore the complaints about Hasan's extreme views while he was attending college. Let's ignore his speeches about justifying suicide bomber attacks. Let's ignore the fact that he and his family did attend the preachings of a very radical Imam who is now one of the most wanted militants in Yemen. Let's ignore the fact that he has told the people he worked around that he was a Muslim first, American second. Let's ignore the fact that the days leading up to his terrorist act mimicked the behaviors of other terrorists such as the strip clubs and other "infidel behavior."

Yep, throw all that aside. Hasan's problem was PTSD, even though he hadn't been deployed. Hasan's problem was that he was teased by evil American rightwingers in the military. Hasan's problem wasn't that he committed or supported any terrorism, but that the evil American society forced him to murder and maim.

Political Correctness is one of the most harmful elements in today's society. No question to it. Political Correctness is what allowed this terrorist act to happen. You have to be a complete moron to think that Hasan's actions had nothing to do with Islam or terrorism.

Islam, the Religion of Peace.

Coming from the first person to mention FOX News in the actual thread about this, I am not surprised in the slightest you'd feel that way either.

[Lamuella]

so you know there's an "actual thread" about this, and yet you started a new one just to say "hey, stare at my ignorance please!"

there is a thread about the murders. there is not a thread about the fact the people of your "nature" refuse to admit obvious truths. something you know about all to well, eh Lam?

[Lamuella]

didn't you already leave these forums with a cartman-esque "screw you guys, I'm going home" once?

any chance you could do it again?

nope. i've never really participated on these forums. to many ignorant lefties. if you'd like a total number of posts in the few years i've been around on these boards and the last...maybe 50. how many on political topics? 0. sorry Lam.

edit - nevermind. if i hang out here i'll call someone an idiot and get banned. i'll just leave my avatar and go on my merry way.

hi lamuella.

looks a lot like "screw you guys, I'm going home" to me

[edikroma]

So, basically this is a thread for you to just whine about "the leftist media", etc without putting forward an actual, put together argument with any sort of evidence? Nice.

Feel better now?

Ah, beautiful edit! Danged how I was too slow to actually quote it but really, I can't see why someone, whoever you are, would want to come back to a forum full of ignorant lefty folks you seem to loath and make a post like that that doesn't contribute to these discussion nor bring any constructive points but instead just stirs the pot and makes people gnaw their arms off out of pure irritation.

Unless, of course, this was your intention and you're a mere.. oops, can't use the magical t-word!

edit: ah, lam got it <3

Clearly the guy who shot Dr. Tiller was a Christian Terrorist. Christianity, the Religion of Peace.

(By your very same logic)

knowing the way your brain works i can understand why you would think i meant it that way. i always forget you needed further instruction and guidance towards an understanding. that was simply a "nevermind, these boards move so fast the topic will float from one thing to another and i do not want to have to read 7 pages to get caught up with the last 2 hours of discussion" moments. that ok with you?

[Tolkien]

I agree. This man is an Muslim, so it just has to be terrorism. You liberal wackjobs don't want to call it that just because it might make your Messiah look weak, or else reveal your plans to AMERICA.

The question is actually a very important one to answer.
I have no idea what the totality of reasons for his actions were, although I believe that his religious and political beliefs are likely to be important causes of his murderous rampage. But it still makes it important to understand why this particular person behaved the way that he did.
There are plenty of Muslims in the USA, many of them serving in the armed forces, many of them perhaps not too happy about the US engagement in the Middle East, and yet none of these other men and women are running amok, slaughtering their fellow soldiers. Other factors very definitely played a role and we are better off trying to understand what happened - so that we can perhaps prevent further such attacks.
Ultimately, I think we will find out that this was a combination of many factors. Yes, his political and religious beliefs will have played a major role but so will his social isolation, possible mental disease, and any number of other factors.

No one is denying many of the things you are writing about (even considering your rather horrible tone). The media is indeed covering his past affiliations and behaviors, but is perhaps not doing it in your preferred style; possibly because they are for once displaying some restraint in drawing wild conclusions. I am sure that Glenn Beck will keep you happy once he returns from his hospital bed.

Yeah. I mean they're so ignorant and full of hate and love to make long, ridiculous, and factless rants. Damned commies, the lot of you.

i agree. i deleted something and then was going to change a lil bit but leave the part about the majority of these boards being full of ignorant lefties. but instead i simply said (Lam's words) screw it, and left nope.

but trust me, i have no problem saying it. it's the truth.

edit - just for you Io... i had to fix a typo.

Has there been any determination on his motive? Whether he did it based on religion/political/terror or because he was just bat!@#$ crazy?
