They Kill Us and We’re the Ones to Blame

By Daniel Greenfield
Sunday, November 8, 2009

Hardly had the final shots been fired at Fort Hood and hospitals were filling up with the wounded that the media rushed to assign blame for the massacre, not of course to Nidal Malik Hassan, who had opened fire aiming to kill as many soldiers as possible, but on the US Army and on his fellow soldiers.

Islamic ideology and Palestinian Arab background

Completely ignoring his Islamic ideology and Palestinian Arab background, the media speculated that he might have been suffering from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, even though he had never served in a combat zone, that he was angry over being deployed to Iraq, even though he had a history of pro-terrorist postings predating that, and finally that he had been bullied by other soldiers for being a Muslim, a claim that has since emerged as completely baseless. All of these however were ways of shifting the blame from Nidal Hassan and his Islamist ideology, and onto his victims, the men and women he had tried to kill, and the United States Army itself. Once again the media apparatchiks had decided that blame for a Muslim killing spree rested not with the perpetrator, but with his targets.

Western Dhimmi apologists

If Muslims follow a predictable pattern in their homicidal attacks, their Western Dhimmi apologists follow an equally predictable pattern, always willing to shift the blame onto anything and anyone, but the killers themselves and their hatefilled ideology. It’s never Islam. Never the Koran. Instead it’s always the general unfairness of our foreign policy, our flagwaving and our obstinate refusal to let Muslims have whatever part of the world they have their sights on today.

Once again, they kill us and yet somehow we’re the ones to blame. Because we didn’t love and nurture poor Nidal Malik Hassan enough. We didn’t install enough foot baths, respect his religion hard enough and worst of all we presumed to make war on his brothers who had murdered thousands of us on September 11. That of course is our original sin, fighting back.

As we speak the media talking heads are still furrowing their great weary brows, scratching behind their ears and wondering, what could the motive possibly be. The FBI, which has no doubt gone through more sensitivity and tolerance sessions than Nidal Hassan spent with his ##### in the air at his local mosque, is of course also searching hard for a motive.
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder…by Proxy

Currently some of the talking heads are peddling PTSD by Proxy, to avoid the minor problem that Hassan had never actually served in combat. Should this brand of lunacy take hold, it would allow anyone and everyone who has been near people who might have conceivably had PTSD to claim PTSD by Proxy as if it were a cold virus passing through the air. Somehow this is made to seem more logical than that Nidal Hassan tried to kill a number of soldiers because he believed that his religion commanded him to do this. An event that had already occurred before and for which we have the evidence of his own words praising suicide bombers as heroes.

Thomas Kenniff, a former JAG who tried to bring some logic to the subject in his appearance on Larry King, was denounced as a racist for pouring cold water on the attempts to sell PTSD by Proxy as the motive, instead pointing to Hassan’s radical beliefs. For this Olbermann denounced him as the Worst Person in the World. Thomas Kenniff’s crime was to interfere in the narrative that Larry King and just about everyone was trying to sell, of Nidal Hassan as another example of a worn out and overstressed US Army in which all the soldiers are on the breaking point.

Media is engaging in blatant deceptiveness

By ignoring the fact that 66 percent of the deliberate attacks within the US military by other soldiers, have involved Muslims—the media is engaging in blatant deceptiveness. Unless Muslims somehow suffer from a form of PTSD more severe than non-Muslim soldiers, or unless Muslims comprise 66 percent of the US military—both false statements, it is obvious that the question of Islamic beliefs should be investigated as central to these acts of violence.

But PTSD is still the narrative the media insists on going with, and will insist on going with, even if Nidal Hassan comes on TV tomorrow and proclaims that he did it all for Allah. That is because PTSD fits the liberal narrative of blaming the media and exonerating Hassan specifically and Islam in general, while indicting the US and the military. It turns Hassan into a victim, and his victims into either co-victims or perpetrators.

As this charade continues, more claims of Hassan’s supposed harassment for being Muslim will be employed to create some equivalent of Colin Ferguson’s “Black Rageâ€

The fascist Democrats and the liberal media seek to destroy America.

No kidding! Now they want to officially turn it around on us.

U.S. Senate Panel to Probe Fort Hood Shooting Motives

By John Hughes

Nov. 8 (Bloomberg) -- A U.S. Senate panel will investigate motives in the deadly shooting at Fort Hood and whether any warning signs should have led to the suspect’s discharge from the Army, Senator Joe Lieberman said.

The suspect, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, was in intensive care with gunshot wounds after he allegedly went on a shooting rampage Nov. 5 inside the Army base in Texas, killing 13 people and injuring 30.

Lieberman, chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said his panel will conduct an investigation into Hasan’s motives that also will “ask whether the Army missed warning signs that should have led them to essentially discharge him.â€

[quote]Casey, when asked about the role Hasan’s Muslim faith may have played in the shooting, said the issue was something “we need to be very careful about.â€

No matter what false excuse they end up giving for this happening it doesn't matter, the fact is America is becoming more and more like the Middle East and apparently that's what they want, especially this admnistration.

Only if the USA can have ONE MORE CHANCE to elect a president and administration who is willing to put the safety and well-being of the American people as their greatest priority over corporate elites or any group or anything else, whether politically correct or not we will end up on a path to more of this type of thing.

It's reaching the point where Americans will want to stay at home as their first choice for their recreation and everything else because they won't feel safe anymore in their own country.

How will corporate America make their $$$$$$ THEN?

This was a deliberate act of Jihad IMO. The Army is the last place a Muslim should be IMO.

Well stated butterbean.

When the media and the political lightweights weigh in on this incident and approach the aspects of this having been an act of terrorism or, if they try, which they have allready done, approach this as the act of a mentally unstable man who happens to be a muslim and therefore this is not a terroristic act commited by a muslim against others not of that faith, the question that arrises is, when a muslim straps a bomb to his body and commits suicide for the benefit of 72 virgins, is that individual not right in the head?

If one is willing to commit hari kari and is viewed as not mentally stable yet labled as a terrorist, where does the mentally unstable lable placed upon this man divert from an act of terrorism?

Perhaps the media pundits and the apologists should ask the Sihks, the Jews, the Hindus, the Armenians if this was an act of terrorism and what we should expect in the future?
