The murders by Major Nidal Malik Hasan at Fort Hood last week were not the typical work of a psychotic mass murderer. They were planned and carried out by a jihadist, and are approved by some (we hope not all) American Muslims regardless of the PR statements issuing from mosques and CAIR. One of his cousins said in a telephone interview that Hasan was a "good American," which makes one question Hasan's entire American family as well as his mosques and the people now defending or excusing him.
The fact that he may have acted alone physically is unimportant, except as it determines how he will be tried in court. Mentally and emotionally, he was aided by millions. His religion taught him that his action was holy. The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in 1928, is the probable origin of this war by Muslim jihadists against the West. Americans did not start the war, and were too passive in the face of repeated attacks on embassies and soldiers in the Middle East until we engaged in Iraq. Why Iraq and not Saudi Arabia, or Afghanistan alone? Because you have to start taking action somewhere.
Hasan's actions shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone. The Army knew about his radical jihadist, anti-American statements. No wonder he caught some rude remarks from fellow soldiers. Why was he not discharged from the military? Are there other people like him inside the military right now, who are being protected? Who is protecting them, and why?
Is the "God d*mn America" policy in full force now?
