@Ringo:

I don’t understand how you can say “the Muslim and terrorist connection is established beyond a shadow of a doubt” when the only two sources for that conclusion leave the question of a connection unclear;

Hasan’s past statements to his fellow soldiers, his presentation regarding Islam, and his efforts to get into contact with Al Qaeda in addition to having “Soldier of Allah” on his business cards are all very strong indicators.

Shouting “Allah Akbar” while firing on the victims delivers an unquestionable verdict.

one of your sources even says, “evidence to this point shows that Hasan acted alone.”

So, in your mind, in order to be terrorism Hasan had to have acted in concert with others? By what definition of “terrorism” do you reach that conclusion?

Your making a bold statement with hardly anything to back it up.

That’s funny.

Keeping your head firmly buried in the sand won’t change the facts.

Hasan probably acted independently, but probably structured this attack to be independently coordinated with foreign terrorists (with whom he had no solid ties, although he desired closer ties). However, it is certain that this was a calculated act of terror made to influence the policy of our country. It is a textbook example of terrorism.

“Terrorism (ter-uh-riz-uhm):

the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes.”

The fact that Hasan was in contact and/or attempting to establish contact with Islamic terrorists shows were his sympathy lies. We were actually lucky that Al Qaeda appears to not have taken Hasan seriously.

However successful his attempts to link up with foreign terrorists may have been, the shouting of “Allah Akbar” at the beginning of this terrorist attack makes his intention clear.

Islam is not necessarily bad because terrorists use the religion to justify their acts of violence (which are committed in its name). However, when there are cover-up attempts like this, it makes me wonder why some people want to hide these things.

A politically correct environment allowed Hasan to stay in the military and kill his fellow troops. Hasan should have been dismissed or at least counseled before this attack.

Obama said that Hasan may have cracked under pressure. The truth is that our country has cracked under pressure from Islamist thugs. Stockholm syndrome is the rule of the land.

@MataHarley: I’m sure you enjoyed your exchanges with Larry, but you did leave the wider readership feeling rather neglected.

But at least you managed to educate Larry right????

@Mike’s America: No problem, Mike’sA. Glad you posted on this head scratching “huh”? Been wanting to do a post on it myself, but have my time tied up between work and cyber fencing with Larry on the health care bit.

Very glad you’re atop of it, and that you put it forth for others to also ponder. It’s been bothering me since Day One of the terrorist … no, make that “not a terrorist”… attack.

And I guess until Obama’s admin mouthpieces announce to the world you’re constipated, you aren’t, right?
