Israel Matzav: America the ostrich

America the ostrich

The day I arrived here in the United States was the day that Major Nidal Malik Hassan - guess what religion - murdered thirteen American soldiers and wounded 30 others in what is probably the worst terror attack at a US military base. Reading the coverage in the local papers here in Boston and watching it on TV (Dad spends most of his time reading the Globe and watching TV), one is struck by the fact that no one mentions that Hassan isn't a Jew, a Christian or a Buddhist, but ... guess what ... he's an adherent of the 'religion of peace,' and that had everything to do with what he did.

That same political correctness explains why what was behind Hassan being transferred from Walter Reed Hospital in Washington to Fort Hood, Texas has been hidden from the American public. All I heard in the media here was that he was transferred because he got a negative evaluation at Walter Reed. Britain's Daily Telegraph discovers the truth. Well, sort of - they don't make the connection between the incidents they describe and his transfer. And he should not have been transferred. He should have been dishonorably discharged a long time ago.

Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the gunman who killed 13 at America's Fort Hood military base, once gave a lecture to other doctors in which he said non-believers should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats.

He also told colleagues at America's top military hospital that non-Muslims were infidels condemned to hell who should be set on fire. The outburst came during an hour-long talk Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, gave on the Koran in front of dozens of other doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Centre in Washington DC, where he worked for six years before arriving at Fort Hood in July.

Colleagues had expected a discussion on a medical issue but were instead given an extremist interpretation of the Koran, which Hasan appeared to believe.

...

Fellow doctors have recounted how they were repeatedly harangued by Hasan about religion and that he openly claimed to be a "Muslim first and American second."

One Army doctor who knew him said a fear of appearing discriminatory against a Muslim soldier had stopped fellow officers from filing formal complaints.

I trust that most of you have already seen an earlier report that said that Hassan worshiped in the same mosque as many of the 9/11 suspects.

Europe may be beyond hope, but what is it going to take to wake America up to the danger of Islam?
