Domestic Islamic Terrorist

The Obama administration labeled this terrorist act “workplace violence” despite this Muslim terrorist shouting Allahu Akbar before opening fire on US troops at Fort Hood.

FORT HOOD — A string of witnesses in an evidentiary hearing identified Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan as the triggerman at a Fort Hood deployment center that left 45 dead and injured.

As his trial nears almost three years later, few here argue over his guilt. They wonder why a psychiatrist would gun down fellow soldiers.

Rep. John Carter, R-Round Rock can explain it. He calls Hasan a domestic terrorist, something prosecutors have never claimed, and says those avoiding the term are indulging in political correctness.

“Believe me, my friend, if somebody had jumped up and said, ‘Praise God and Jesus Christ!’ and started shooting,” he said, “the headline would have said, ‘Christian right-wing zealot kills soldiers.’”

Prosecutors last week inched closer to branding Hasan a terrorist. They sought to put terrorism consultant Evan Kohlmann on a list of witnesses when Hasan’s capital murder trial starts next Monday.

Testifying Thursday via phone, Kohlmann said Hasan is like the other home-grown terrorists he has studied. The judge in the case, Col. Gregory Gross, hasn’t decided if Kohlmann will testify, but putting him on the stand raises the stakes for Hasan.

Prosecutors didn’t respond when asked why they wanted to bring Kohlmann into the trial, or if he’s to be used to help prove the attack was a terrorist act. However, retired Army Lt. Col. Geoffrey Corn said they could call him as a rebuttal witness during the trial’s sentencing phase if Hasan testifies or gives a statement.

Corn, a professor at South Texas College of Law in Houston who closely follows the case, also said it was telling the Army didn’t create a charge based on a belief that the shooting was a terrorist act — as it could have done.

“It’s an interesting policy debate, public debate, maybe political debate but from a legal perspective, predominantly a distraction,” he said. “A prosecutor’s job is to make things as clear and as simple as possible.”

Still, Carter and others, some of them Fort Hood troops, point to the start of the melee as proof that Hasan declared jihad when he opened fire on a crowded post deployment center on Nov. 5, 2009.

Witnesses say Hasan jumped on a desk and cried out, “Allahu Akbar!,” Arabic for God is great. They said he mowed down GIs with two handguns and extended-round clips.

The face of political correctness and Muslim appeasement

Obama’s political correctness and Muslim appeasement are killing Americans. Team Obama refused to call Hassan’s massacre a  Islamic terrorist attack, instead they labeled it “workplace violence”  so not to offend Muslims.

AP reports, via ABC News:

In emails to a known terrorist, the man charged with killing 13 people in a 2009 attack at Fort Hood, Texas, expressed his support for suicide bombings and killing civilians — glaring signs that the FBI did not act on but should have, a lawmaker briefed on a new report on the rampage said Wednesday.

Army Maj. Nidal Hasan told a radical Islamic cleric — a man well-known to the U.S. intelligence community — that he advocated using suicide bombers and that he believed it was OK to kill civilians, Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, told The Associated Press. And the known terrorist, Anwar al-Awlaki, told Hasan in an email that the Army psychiatrist should keep the terrorist’s contact information handy, McCaul said.

But the agents on the FBI’s Washington anti-terrorism task force thought the issue of a Muslim soldier talking to extremists was too sensitive to bring up with the Defense Department, McCaul said the report found.

“It shows you the length of the political correctness stuff going on,” McCaul said after he was briefed on the findings of the independent review Wednesday.

FBI Director Robert Mueller called for the review in 2009 and asked a former bureau director, William Webster, to lead it. The FBI is expected to release an unclassified version of the report this week, McCaul said.

A Senate report released last year also said the FBI missed warning signs about Hasan, who Senate investigators said had become an Islamic extremist and a “ticking time bomb” before the rampage. But McCaul said some of the emails described in the Webster report were ones he had not previously seen.

A soldier was ordered to delete a cell phone video of the attack. What is the government hiding?

More Muslim appeasement from the Obama regime. Pointing out the fact that Muslims are the group of religious radicals hell-bent on blowing people up in the US goes against the Obama regime’s narrative that it is “right-wing extremist” that have to be monitored.

From Judicial Watch:

To meet the Obama Administration’s high standards of political correctness, the U.S. government will change the way it trains agents to combat terrorism and violent extremism by eliminating all materials that shed a negative light on Muslims.

It’s a government-wide call to end Islamophobia, if you will. A few months after the White House ordered an investigation of government counterterrorism training, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has destroyed instructional material that characterizes Muslims as prone to violence or terrorism.

So far 700 pages of documents from about 300 presentations given to agents since the 2001 terrorist attacks have been purged, according to a news report published this week. The White House order came after the same publication reported in late November that the FBI, Department of Justice (DOJ) and Pentagon taught employees that mainstream Muslims embrace violence and compared the Islamic religion to the death star.

Last year Attorney General Eric Holder told Congress that anti-Muslim instructional materials hurt the country’s fight against terrorist groups like al-Qaeda. As a result of this mentality, the Joint Chiefs of Staff was asked to collect counterterrorism training materials at all military academies and academic centers such as the National Defense Intelligence College and the U.S. Army Combined Arms Center. The goal, evidently, is to banish any material that could be viewed as offensive to Muslims.

To fulfill the mission the FBI enlisted the Army Combating Terrorism Center at West Point to purge material that conflates terrorism with mainstream Islam, according to inside information cited in the news report. The cleansing also includes a White House review on any information related to “cultural awareness” training for troops that were preparing to deploy to the Middle East.

Your tax dollars, the majority of them from White Americans, are being used to paint you as a terrorist. It’s all due to political correctness and the left-wing radicals attempting to paint anyone who disagrees with them, or Obama, as terrorists.

Just ignore the fact that 126 Muslims have been arrested for terrorism related charges and you too can believe the garbage the Obama regime is pushing.

From InfoWars:

A new Public Service Announcement entitled ‘The Drop Off – If You See Something, Say Something’ was unveiled by none other than Big Sis herself, Janet Napolitano, on the Homeland Security website today.

This is the same dolt who released a report on “right-wing extremism.” Just don’t ask them to say the war on terror or label Muslim terrorist as “Islamic terrorists.” That would hurt their feelings.

The PSA, which will be played on television and radio stations, shows a well dressed attractive white woman exiting a taxi before walking into a subway station. The taxi driver – a white man – then makes a phone call and sets a timer on a device in the trunk of the car. The woman then leaves her bag in the station.

“If you see something, say something – report suspicious activity to local authorities,” states the voiceover as the clip ends with other commuters reporting the incident to a black security guard and a black police officer.

In her accompanying statement to the video, DHS chief Napolitano also hints that gun stores could be a prime breeding ground for terrorists, making reference to a recent case where, “the owner of a gun store near Ft. Hood called authorities when an individual in his store was behaving in a suspicious manner.”

Its also where pro-2nd Amendment Americans go to purchase handguns to protect themselves from low-life, pro-criminal liberals. Or as Obama calls them: bible thumping gun clingers.

As we highlighted last month, a longer PSA recently produced by the DHS overwhelmingly went to significant lengths to portray white Americans as the most likely terrorists, despite the fact that the 126 people who were indicted on terrorist-related charges in the United States over the last two years were all Muslim.

Progressives don’t work with facts well. 126 Muslims arrested on terror-related charges and our government is spending our tax dollars trying to spin the truth.

Bizarrely, the majority of the people shown reporting suspicious activity to authorities were portrayed as non-whites.

Political correctness and Muslim appeasement brought to you by Team Obama and being paid for with your tax dollars.

That damn President Bush President Obama. What ever happened to the right to criticize your government? Guess all American flyers are terrorists now.

Washington (CNN) — Don’t like the way airport screeners are doing their job? You might not want to complain too much while standing in line.

Arrogant complaining about airport security is one indicator Transportation Security Administration officers consider when looking for possible criminals and terrorists, CNN has learned exclusively. And, when combined with other behavioral indicators, it could result in a traveler facing additional scrutiny.

CNN has obtained a list of roughly 70 “behavioral indicators” that TSA behavior detection officers use to identify potentially “high risk” passengers at the nation’s airports.

If these “detection officers” suck as bad as the baggage screeners, we are in deep shit.

Many of the indicators, as characterized in open government reports, are behaviors and appearances that may be indicative of stress, fear or deception. None of them, as the TSA has long said, refer to or suggest race, religion or ethnicity.

Yes. It must be pointed out that TSA will not stop those who are known to hijack planes. Political correctness will be our downfall.

But one addresses passengers’ attitudes towards security, and how they express those attitudes.

It reads: “Very arrogant and expresses contempt against airport passenger procedures.”

Come on people. Who doesn’t enjoy having a perfect stranger grope your junk while Ahmed, a man who fits the profile of almost every terrorist…between 17 and 45 years of age with a one-way ticket, strolls by?

TSA officials declined to comment on the list of indicators, but said that no single indicator, taken by itself, is ever used to identify travelers as potentially high-risk passengers. Travelers must exhibit several indicators before behavior detection officers steer them to more thorough screening.

For some reason, this particular White House will stand up for Islam but no other religion. I wonder why? Barack HUSSEIN Obama!

Politico reports:

As a House committee prepares to turn the spotlight on Al Qaeda’s efforts to radicalize Muslims in America, the White House issued a public plea Sunday to focus on the American Muslim community’s support for anti-terrorism efforts and to avoid stigmatizing law-abiding followers of Islam.

“We must resolve that, in our determination to protect our nation, we will not stigmatize or demonize entire communities because of the actions of a few,” Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough told a crowd gathered in a gymnasium and prayer room at a mosque in northern Virginia.

“In the United States of America, we don’t practice guilt by association. And let’s remember that just as violence and extremism are not unique to any one faith, the responsibility to oppose ignorance and violence rests with each of us. “

Unless you’re a Christian who clings to guns or religion…as Barack HUSSEIN Obama infamously stated.

The hearings, set to begin Thursday at the call of House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King (R-N.Y.), have caused widespread concern among Muslim civil rights groups, civil liberties organizations and interfaith groups — many of whom have urged King to broaden the focus of the hearings beyond Muslims to include environmental terrorists and neo-Nazi groups. He has declined, saying those threats simply aren’t on a par with Al-Qaeda-inspired radical Islam.

126 individuals have been arrested on terrorist-related charges. What nationality are those 126 individuals? Muslim. Political correctness has no place in national security. We can add the Texas college student,Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari, who wanted to blow up nuclear facilities, dams and former President Bush with baby doll bombs. Another follower of the religion we shouldn’t “demonize.”

Free speech? Not when you tell the truth. This seems to piss off some and can lead to your 1st amendment rights being violated and you can lose your job. Political correctness strikes again.

FEASTERVILLE, Pa. – A high school English teacher in suburban Philadelphia who was suspended for a profanity-laced blog in which she called her young charges “disengaged, lazy whiners” is driving a sensation by daring to ask: Why are today’s students unmotivated — and what’s wrong with calling them out?

As she fights to keep her job at Central Bucks East High School, 30-year-old Natalie Munroe says she had no interest in becoming any sort of educational icon. The blog has been taken down, but its contents can still be found easily online.

Her comments and her suspension by the middle-class school district have clearly touched a nerve, with scores of online commenters applauding her for taking a tough love approach or excoriating her for verbal abuse. Media attention has rained down, and backers have started a Facebook group.

My students are out of control,” Munroe, who has taught 10th, 11th and 12th grades, wrote in one post. “They are rude, disengaged, lazy whiners. They curse, discuss drugs, talk back, argue for grades, complain about everything, fancy themselves entitled to whatever they desire, and are just generally annoying.”

And in another post, Munroe — who is more than eight months pregnant — quotes from the musical “Bye Bye Birdie”: “Kids! They are disobedient, disrespectful oafs. Noisy, crazy, sloppy, lazy LOAFERS.”

She also listed some comments she wished she could post on student evaluations, including: “I hear the trash company is hiring”; “I called out sick a couple of days just to avoid your son”; and “Just as bad as his sibling. Don’t you know how to raise kids?”

Munroe did not use her full name or identify her students or school in the blog, which she started in August 2009 for friends and family. Last week, she said, students brought it to the attention of the school, which suspended her with pay.

“They get angry when you ask them to think or be creative,” Munroe said of her students in an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday. “The students are not being held accountable.”

Neither are the parents of these problematic children.

Munroe pointed out that she also said positive things, but she acknowledges that she did write some things out of frustration — and of a feeling that many kids today are being given a free pass at school and at home.

“Parents are more trying to be their kids’ friends and less trying to be their parent,” Munroe said, also noting students’ lack of patience. “They want everything right now. They want it yesterday.”

She must know my ex-wife :)

It’s refreshing when people tell the truth. We all know that kids these days do not take responsibility for anything and we have too many individuals who are ‘friends’ to their children instead of parents. Most kids go to school to learn but there are those who only go because their parents treat school as a daycare.

Had Natalie Munroe been a terrible teacher with half of her students failing, she would be safe from being suspended. This is the problem with our education system. Teachers unions and teachers who don’t care have no place in teaching our children.

Natalie Munroe told the truth and now faces the consequences for doing so. I applaud Mrs. Munroe for expressing her opinion as the 1st amendment allows.

Political correctness will be the downfall of our country and cause more innocent people to lose their lives. Now if we can just get the Obama regime to acknowledge that radical Islam is the enemy, our intelligence officials can do their jobs, which is to protect America.

People must remember, this is the same administration who stopped using the term ‘war on terror’ and removed any references to radical Islam and Islamic terrorist.

The Washington Times reports:

A Senate investigation has found that the November 2009 Fort Hood massacre was predictable and avoidable, something that was obvious to anyone except members of the Obama administration. Worse, the White House still refuses to admit that a jihadist terror attack took place on the Army base. 

The Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee recently concluded a year-long look into the circumstances of the domestic terror incident that took 14 lives. The committee report concluded that the Department of Defense and the FBI “collectively had sufficient information to have detected [Major Nidal] Hasan’s radicalization to violent Islamist extremism but failed both to understand and to act on it.” 

The systemic failures are alarming. Hasan openly discussed justifications for suicide bombings with other officers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and gave a briefing on Islam which reflected his extremist views. He questioned whether his oath to the Constitution had greater weight than his fealty to Islam. When some of his fellow officers reported his dangerous views, correctly describing him as a “ticking time bomb,” they were told that having Hasan around was beneficial because he provided first-hand insights into the worldview of violent Islamists. By this twisted reasoning, every unit deploying to Afghanistan should reserve a billet for a jihadist-in-training. 

The FBI detected that Hasan was communicating with Anwar al-Awlaki, the senior al Qaeda operative currently being hunted in Yemen. Hasan sent 18 emails over six months between December 2008 and June 2009, asking the radical cleric things like when jihad is legitimate and whether it is permitted to kill innocents in a suicide attack. He wrote that he “couldn’t wait” to have discussions with Awlaki “in the afterlife.” Armed with such intel, most terrorism analysts would reasonably suppose Hasan was a jihadist preparing for martyrdom. The FBI, however, concluded this outreach to al Qaeda was “legitimate research on terrorism and Islam” and dropped the case without interviewing Hasan or any of his coworkers. Had G-men followed up, the Senate report concluded, Hasan would have been discharged from the Army and 14 of his victims would be alive today.
