With 13 dead, and the killers words,…
“ALLAHU AKBAR!”
…still ringing loudly in the ears of eyewitnesses, Obama said…
“…I would caution against jumping to conclusions…”
Well, the only conclusion any reasonable person could possibly come to, is that a terrorist act took place on an American military installation, by a Muslim jihadist masquerading as a soldier.
Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan cleaned out his apartment, said goodbye to those he knew and stepped out with two handguns and killed 13 individuals going about their day to day, feeling safe behind the guarded gates of Fort Hood, unsuspecting danger dressed in a military uniform with US Army stamped on it.
The times we live in now are trying; the fact that our adversaries, to see how we stand when pushed, are testing us is obvious. The terrorists that mean us harm, are counting on their surrogates to inflict as much damage as they can, when they can. The terrorists are putting out the word, in the many formats available in today’s society and counting on at least one follower to commit a bloody act that garners attention and brings more attention and recruits to their cause. It is getting so that none of these like-minded individuals need ever meet in the same place, the idea of Jihad is one the individual can feel and act upon with complete individualism.
Already, certain aspects of the media have begun to ignore the horrible act committed by this terrorist, Hasan. They have begun to focus more on how Hasan had been treated by his fellow soldiers prior to his murderous rampage, thus attempting to offer up an excuse for this mass murder. Well, at least it is good to know that those in the media spewing this nonsense are either on news channels or in newspapers with very low viewers or readers.
When a man robs a bank, we call him a bank robber. When a man embezzles millions from the unsuspecting, we call him an embezzler. When a man arms himself with two semi-automatics and walks into a crowd of unsuspecting people and screams “Allahu Akbar” and opens fire, killing 13, knowing full well, he himself will be shot and possibly killed, I don’t believe it would be, “jumping to conclusion” to believe that the man is a terrorist.
If it walks like a Jihadist, quacks like a Jihadist, it must be a Jihadist.
