for at least the leadership types of the leftists and communists that went to fight with the Republicans in Spain, e.g., in the Lincoln Brigade. Even though we became “allies” with the Soviets, the US felt that men so dedicated to communist ideology were a loyalty risk.

In my opinion, that is BS…he’s saying that because of his inclinations towards Islam and his childhood education.

There is a huge difference between keeping on eye on someone and arresting them. It should be ok to keep on eye on any muslim in the U.S. military. This means being discrete and allowing them their freedom, but being careful. Warning signs those that Hasan showed should be investigated and acted on. I shouldn’t need to say it, but this is not advocating rounding up all U.S. muslims and sticking them in detention camps (i.e. the Japanese Americans during WW II). It is not even about barring muslims from serving in the U.S. military. It should be just simple common sense.

One can’t choose their heritage but they can choose their allegiance. However, one one has chosen his religion he has also chosen his allegiance.

As such, no Muslim can ever be trusted to put aside his chosen allegiance to his faith in favor of a sworn allegiance to his Country.

There is a reason that the saying has God first and Country second.

and they were very careful not to say a word about this guy’s religion or his remarks or his praise of suicide bombers. All the emphasis for the cause, such as it was, had to do with nebulous mentions of PTSD. And second hand, at that, since this guy had never deployed.

Way to go, media, thanks for giving us the information we need to make reasonable and smart decisions. For all that they mentioned it, the guy could have been a Pentecostal.

All the warning signs were there. But no one wanted to upset a Muslim. Furthermore, there has been previous attacks on military personnel, so you have to ask why were there not more armed MP on the base?

The Army will have to shoulder some of the blame for this.

employment stuff? I’ve seen here many times where if it’s a minority instead of firing a person they create a new position that isn’t even real for them or they just plain refuse to fire them and let someone incompetent stay on a job and basically other people do their job and the other persons job too. Maybe it’s the employment laws and stuff we should look at within the military. I have no clue what they are, but this is what I’ve seen in the civilian world. Maybe it’s hard to kick someone out of the military?

Don’t you feel safer already?

and not the religion! I see the links you have above Streiff and I watched FOX & Friends this morning and BOOM three stories in a row….Hansan, the Muslim picked up for wanting to bomb somewhere and the father who killed his daughter by running her over for being to Westernized….It was like OK people enough is quite enough!

Either Muslims start fighting back and LOUDLY in their daily prayers that this is unacceptable and hold a reformation or its time for the 1st time in American History to OUTLAW a Religion. WE cannot continue to have this INSANITY overtaking our lives DAILY! Perhaps the rest of the world enjoys bombings and hateful speech in the streets UK BUT Americans dont’ DESERVE it nor WANT it!

in our midst. Without naming names, and they will never admit, but military eyes have been opened and those who make or act questionable in their allegiances will be watched more closely and reported. Don’t mistake it the Cols, Lts Cols, Majors, Captains, Lts and Sgts have heard the message of this incident and they will throw the PC BS to the curb to protect their command.

The latest news reports indicate that upwards of a HUNDRED rounds were fired. From two handguns. How many reloads is that? Why wasn’t he tackled? There are many questions to be answered.

My biggest question is why the military has a policy to have it’s soldiers go unarmed on post. Soldiers are trusted with M-16s in the field but not as much as a sidearm on post? It wasn’t even an MP that shot the perp but a civillian cop. I’ve never served in the armed forces so please excuse my ignorance but soldiers walking around without guns makes about as much sense to me as eating cereal without milk.

Granted, miliary posts are supposed to be safe. So are hospitals, schools, churches, and many other places people congregate. The truth of the matter is that there are lunatics in the world and people should always be prepared to protect themselves against such aggressors. No one is immune. Had someone in one of those buildings been armed, we may be mourning the deaths of far fewer people.

there is about seven miles separating silver springs, MD where Hasan worshipped and the Dar-alHijrah Mosque where American born Imam Anwar al-Aulaqi preached at. Al-Aulaqi is suspected of abetting three 9-11 hijackers. Add the DC sniper to the mix and Washington DC is beginning to look like a petri dish for terrorists.

This is not rocket science. If there is a pattern follow it. We have seen this before with people being afraid to watch Jews in our government (remember the stolen a-bomb and countless other spying scandals where Israel was involved?). Let’s not wait until Iran steals our bomb using the same fifth column techniques Israel has used so effectively.

with preemptive strike NOW on Iran. With our intelligence network I believe we could surgically remove the entire Iranian leadership without major collateral damage. Ethnic and religious profiling is really defining the enemy. We know who they are. We are fighting them on several fronts right now.
The Islamic Nation tried before but have been semi-dormant for about 400 years. Wake up Americans and read some world history. This Islamic gang has been stopped before and it is time to stop them now. We need leadership that will stop them cold in their own back yard. Some of them are now in our front yard and they need to be sent HOME, now… This WILL NOT happen with the Washington gang that has hijacked our country.

TERM LIMITS NOW — DON’T REELECT ANYBODY

I heard on the Quinn & Rose radio show this morning that Major Hasan and two other domestic Islamic terrorists had all attended the same mosque in TX. Perhaps a quick search of that mosque is in order. Or at least infiltrate it to find out what the Imams are really saying. If Major Hasan was driven to personal Jihad against the infidels in the form of committing mass murder, then the mosque should be shut down and the Imams charged as co-conspirators.

In the wake of Hasan’s planned murder spree, I should hope that every base’s Commanding Officer issue standing orders requiring at least most personnel to be carrying sidearms or rifles around base, as a necessary precaution against further assaults on our troops. It may be shutting the barn doors after the horses have all run out; but given how this incident will probably encourage further attacks on our military personnel, I think a logical precaution.

Except I would exempt all Muslim military personnel. This isn’t racial profiling or racism or religious intolerance; it’s recognizing the obvious — that some of these SOB’s cannot be trusted. Perhaps they should be granted a discharge, if they want one. We need to know where their first loyalties lie.

Political Correctness got those soldiers killed. Several officers knew of Hasan’s belligerent behavior, yet they said nothing because they were afraid of appearing to be inappropriately biased against a Muslim who was becoming more and more outspoken in his anti-American beliefs.

To me, the evidence for this is pretty clear. Why is this so hard to accept.?

Islam and atheism have become politicized. The one has always been politicized. Islam’s rapid rise to influence during the Dark Ages was due to the very same militancy we now see demonstrated in our modern era. The other has risen from the crank fringes of academia in the western world to be embraced by our present day political establishment.

Both are finding common cause in persecuting their intended target: people who profess the Christian faith and embrace its values and implications.

The one targets its victims with guns, explosives and violence, the other with the aggressive use of the laws of tolerance and freedom that founded this country and that they have now perverted to silence and blind their opposition to prevent them from taking meaningful action.
