Don't Rush to Judgement?

Major Nidal Hassan, United States Army

This man is not a victim!

This man is not a nut case!

This man is not suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome!

This man is a home grown American Muslim Terrorist!

The recent atrocity at Fort Hood, Texas, committed by a fanatical muslim masquerading as a American Citizen and a Medical Officer in the United States Army has placed a microscope on a problem within our nation that has been festering for a long time - Political Correctness gone insane!

The liberal left mainstream media is now asserting that Major Nidal Hassan was simply a nut case and the tragedy at Fort Hood was made worse by the he was also a muslim.

Evan Thomas, Editor at Large with Newsweek,publicly stated:

I cringe that he's a Muslim. I mean, because it inflames all the fears. I think he's probably just a nut case. But with that label attached to him, it will get the right wing going and it just -- I mean these things are tragic, but that makes it much worse.

NPR's Nina Totenberg soon chimed in with agreement...

“It really is tragic that he was a Muslim.”

The NY Times, MSNBC and CNN are trying to explain this attack on our military as the result of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome even though Hassan had not been deployed to or served in or near a combat zone.

There are even those pundits on the left who are attempting to make Hassan the "victim" in this matter by blaming his actions on "bullying"! They claim that Hassan, a college educated physician/psychiatrist, with ten years of service in the United State Army as an Officer was uanable to handle "harassment" by his military colleagues as a result of his faith.

And of course our beloved leader, I mean our Commander in Chief, warns us not to rush to judgement even though he knows full well that Major Hassan is a Muslim fanatic, known to the FBI as a fan of suicide bombers and to colleagues as an opponent of our government, coolly buys weapons, heads to a military facility he knows will be packed with unsuspecting soldiers, waits for the crowd to thicken, then shouts, “Allah Ahkbar" (God is Great) and guns down 51 patriots, calmly reloading among the dead and dying.

Don’t rush to judgment? 

I really and truly am beginning to believe we have all followed Alice down the rabbit hole!
