Hear No Evil...Speak No Evil...See No Evil

It boggles the mind to consider the extent to which some of our liberal “progressive” fellow citizens will travel to keep from accepting the reality that our nation has been at war with facist Islam terrorists to ensure their idea of “cultural diversity”,  “political correctness" and "religious sensitivity."

Apparently our friends on the left find it so much easier to simply ignore the truth that is right in front of their eyes rather than admitting any inconvenient (politically incorrect) truths which might be revealed if they were to place blame where it belongs.

Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago, speaking of United States Army Major Nidal Hasan and the recent terrorist incident at Fort Hood, Texas, said that:

“Unfortunately, America loves Guns. We love guns to a point where that uh we see devastation on a daily basis. You don’t blame a group…"You don't blame a group. You don't blame a society, immigrant community because of actions of one group, one individual -- you cannot say that."

"We're dealing with a very different kind of war here," Dr. Phil McGraw, a celebrity psychologist, told CNN's Larry King on Thursday night. "And we know that there is a tremendous degree of stress with this war. And I think the military will tell you that it's a new animal and nobody knows exactly what to do with it."

"I cringe that he's a Muslim," said Evan Thomas of Newsweek. "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."

"I think the speculation could potentially heighten backlash against some of our Muslim soldiers," said Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey. "And what happened at Fort Hood was a tragedy, but I believe it would be an even greater tragedy if our diversity becomes a casualty here."

Interviewing Veteran Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki on Wednesday’s CBS Early Show, co-host Harry Smith cited a cause of the shooting at Ft. Hood: “...the Iraq war, the escalation in number of cases of post traumatic stress disorder...”

Liberal Talk Show Radio Host Stephanie Miller suggested it could be because "George Bush made many people around the world feel like this was a war against Islam by using words like crusade…and the fact that he apparently was taunted for being Muslim."

Criminologist Patricia Brown offered th following on (where else?) CNN...

"First of all, we must define "terrorist." Under the United States Law Code: the term "terrorism" means premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents; the term "terrorist group" means any group, or which has significant subgroups which practice, international terrorism. By this definition, Hasan does not even begin to qualify as a terrorist....He was simply a lone guy who had issues, problems, psychopathic behaviors that escalated to the point where he wanted to get back at society, and he took it out on his workmates like most of them do."

Montel Williams pontificated “No matter what it comes out to, at the end of the day, even if it comes out in the last five months and all his anxiety around his impending deployment, he decided his frame of reference was his religion and that was what was giving him, you know, the power within himself to make his stand, that doesn't mean that the religion is to blame.”

A government counter terrorism expert remarking about he FBI’s investigation of the Fort Hood incident stated:..."Had we launched an investigation of Hasan we'd have been crucified," the investigator said, adding that the communications were shared with the "appropriate chains."

There is only one simple truth that must be constantly kept in mind, political correctness, cultural diversity and inclusion be damned, and that is...

Not all Muslims are Jihadists but all Jihadists are Muslim!

If that factual statement of logic cannot be recognized and acted upon by those we have placed in positions of leadership and trust, then they no longer deserve those positions.
