So. The Fort Hood shooting.
Over the weekend, Joe F'ckin Lieberman said he believes the shooting was an act of Islamist extremism. He is wrong about that most likely. I don't think Islam had much of anything to do with it.
But he is right in as far as this was an act of terrorism.
This guy shot up a bunch of soldiers. Many are still in the ICU. This was an act that sent a message. He snapped. He disagreed with our war policy and he chose to protest it by trying to killing people and succeeding in at least one attempt. That's terrorism, folks. I have no personal sympathy for the shooter. I may say that the indictment of Islam as a whole due to Major Hasan is unfair. It is.
But this guy went rogue and shot up his fellow soldiers. His own personal guilt needs to be determined by a court of law. He's not a good person for doing this. Should he be convicted of these crimes, he needs to burn for them.

What planet do you live on?
If he was a Christian or Jew, snapped, and killed people, would people be blaming religion?
As far as I'm concerned, this guy snapped on the job and went on a shooting spree. That kind of thing does happen in America.
When a fundamentalist kills thirteen innocent people while shouting “allahu akbar,” Islam isn’t just a small player – it’s got a starring role.
I'm not trying to say that every Muslim is a terrorist. But that political correctness is going to get us killed.
