Fort Hood Massacre updates
November 6, 2009 | Tagged Fort Hood murders, Nidal Hasan, Spree Killings | 1 Comment
Major Nidal Hasan, who evidently perpetrated the shooting at Fort Hood, was not killed in the attack, nor was the female MP or security officer who stopped him. Initial reports that two others were involved in the incident seem to be incorrect at this time.
According to news sources, Hasan is a Muslim who disagreed with U.S. foreign policy and was resisting deployment to the Middle East. The politically correct spin is that Hasan had been harassed about being a Muslim and was at the end of his rope with regard to legal methods of avoiding deployment. The report that Hasan yelled “God is good!” before he began murdering his fellow soldiers would tend to indicate that the killings were a Jihadist act of terrorism. “Alu Akbar” is the venerable battle cry of a Muslim warrior.
The shocking killings by a U.S. Army field grade officer raise disturbing issues about the role of Muslims in the military. All service members take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies. Christianity urges that its followers “render unto Caesar.” Islam teaches that devotion to Allah supercedes all national loyalties.
The U.S. is committed to religious freedom. How do you reconcile that value with a religious doctrine that prescribes the death penalty for leaving the faith? Islam may, depending on interpretation, legitimize the killing of “infidels” during Jihad as a way to obtain blissful eternal life.
Unfortunate fallout from this incident will probably include more calls for gun control and more discrimination and harassment against Muslims. There are no easy answers on this massacre. There are not even any easy questions. For our part, we must not let Left-wing politicians parlay a shooting in a government-mandated “criminal-safe free fire zone” (gun-free zone) into more restrictions on our fundamental natural right to armed self-defense from crime, tyranny and genocide recognized by the Second Amendment.
