Fort Hood gunman had told US military colleagues that infidels should have their throats cut

Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the gunman who killed 13 at America’s Fort Hood military base, once gave a lecture to other doctors in which he said non-believers should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats.

He also told colleagues at America’s top military hospital that non-Muslims were infidels condemned to hell who should be set on fire. The outburst came during an hour-long talk Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, gave on the Koran in front of dozens of other doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Centre in Washington DC, where he worked for six years before arriving at Fort Hood in July.

Colleagues had expected a discussion on a medical issue but were instead given an extremist interpretation of the Koran, which Hasan appeared to believe.

“Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse,” Casey added on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” We want to give, as many different people as possible, the chance to slaughter our young men and women. Why should our troops only be killed over seas? They should be in just as much danger over here. I mean it’s only fair.”

Firing on a roomful of unarmed civilians is murder whether or not a person’s ideology makes this morally acceptable or politically expedient to them or to others who would excuse such behavior

To then color that differentiation based upon a perception or impression of a religion by injecting personal political biases removes the debate from any rational arena. The debate then proceeds on emotional lines alone. That emotional debate is exposed in the various statements available in the media.

If that debate is internalized, there is, eventually, no opposition to action, which then proceeds with all the terrible consequences of Oklahoma City or Ft. Hood.; and so should the consequences to the perpetrators.

In the end, he could have just quit his job in the Army if it bothered him so much rather than making other people pay with their lives for his inability to obtain relief.

Get a clue pipple, he’s a psychiatrist, he’s not shell-shocked, insane or under-employed. He’s committed to doing you and yours harm, fools.
