Senator Lieberman will now start holding hearings on whether Major ‘Allahu Akbar!’ Hasan is a terrorist.  It is for me a great sadness, perhaps above all others, to watch western culture, my culture in its writhing death throes.  In our jaundiced teaching that all the world’s cultures are of equal worth, we daily sacrifice more of the one that has given and continues to give mankind its most abundant blessings.

Consider this, after all these years Homeland Security has yet to issue a report on Muslims in the military.  General Casey, the current Army Chief of Staff, has restated that he is most concerned about discrimination against Muslims.  The prime reason Hasan was not outed is that his colleagues and their superiors admitted that their motive for burying the abundant reports about Hasan’s radicalization was political correctness – they were also afraid of being accused of discrimination.  So thirteen people died, and many more lives were permanently derailed.  (Russ Steele of NC Media Watch has more on this.)

Hasan is a man who unabashedly evangelized the Islamic cause and worldview. He attended a radicalized mosque and handed out business cards with “SOA(SWT)” printed under his name.  SOA stands for ‘Soldier of Allah’, and SWT is the traditional Arab homage ‘Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala’ (Glory to Him, the Exalted) inserted by the faithful after every mention/writing of Allah or Muhammad.  And we are now worried if his killing spree was perhaps spawned by some “secondary stress syndrome”.  I hope Joe Lieberman can quickly lay that crap to rest so that the current “rush to whitewash” inside the Beltway can be short-circuited.  There should be some real bad stuff coming out of all this.

Michelle Malkin, nationally syndicated columnist, has made the point that “political correctness is the handmaiden of terror.”  Think about it, the more they attempt to paint Hasan as just an ordinary American Muslim, the more firmly they drive home the logical conclusion that such acts of terror by your friendly neighborhood Muslim are completely undetectable, and therefore unpredictable.  Your only choice is to suck it up and stand by for the next one, or … .

An alternative way forward is for the self-proclaimed, America-loving Muslim communities to stand up all over this land and unequivocally tell everyone that not only do they abhor the Hasans in their midst, but that they will not tolerate them, and demonstrate this by outing the ones currently in training, plotting, and scheming.  In short, remove Mao Tse-tung’s ‘friendly sea’ in which all successful indigenous terrorists must swim.  If the Muslim community continues their shameful silence, the alternative will not be a pretty America.

And sooner than later in a large American city, someone with a suitcase shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ will spawn a mushroom cloud.  Only then there will be no one to report what that Muslim said before he hit the pickle.
