I would assume that even the PC Police cannot ignore that the terrorist, Hasan, shouted Allahu Akbar before murdering Americans. I would imagine those are the same words used by the 9/11 terrorists and suicide bombers as visions of virgins dance in their heads. That makes this a terrorist attack – an attack by a jihadist on Americans. period. Well written article and the site is great!

Yes, certainly ok to mention religion — it was a core motivation behind Hasan’s activities.

Religion was not a motivation behind the shootings at Columbine, et. al.

I am interested to see if the US Military will change its policy because of this incident. In history, so many other US soldiers were not dismissed from duty because of religious or ethnic beliefs. And yet Hasan was clearly trying to remove himself from service for some time before yesterday.

What are we going to do with guys like Hasan in the US military? While this is the most extreme example to date, I’d rather they discharge Hasan and get him to agree to pay a hefty fine or something, rather than put him in a combat unit.

so what’s the solution here?

1. let people who want to leave the army leave.

2. disallow muslims from serving

3. end the wars in iraq and afghanistan and stop starting so many wars period.

4.?
