Exclusive: Fort Hood Shooting Should Have Americans Asking Government Some Serious QuestionsThe Editors
Today, Americans are still reeling from the shocking events at Fort Hood, Texas, where Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan opened fire, killing 12 and wounding 31. Among the victims were both military members and civilians.
While authorities continue to try to piece the whys and wherefores together, here is what we know: Maj. Hasan, who had recently finished his psychiatry residency, received deployment orders for Iraq, which reportedly distressed him. Around 1:30 p.m. CT (2:30 p.m. ET) yesterday, Hasan opened fire with two handguns in the Soldiers Readiness Processing Center on the west side of the base, which according to an Army spokesman, is the processing center was where soldiers “cycle through as they prepare to deploy.†Hasan was shot and killed during the incident.
According to one of Hasan’s co-workers in the psych ward at Fort Hood, Hasan made comments to the effect that Americans should not be in the Middle East, and that maybe Muslims should stand up and fight against the aggressor.
CAIR was quick to release a statement denouncing the act, and a senior White House official said there is no evidence that this was a terrorist attack.
Although we don’t want to draw any conclusions before the facts are all in, this incident does prompt a number of serious questions: We have yet another incident of a Muslim soldier killing fellow U.S. Army soldiers. Is there a pattern? What about the recent case of Najibullah Zazi, the 24-year-old Afghan immigrant accused (with other, as yet unnamed suspects) of plotting for over a year to “use one or more weapons of mass destruction†in the U.S.? How about the teen from Jordan who was indicted for planning to bomb a Dallas skyscraper? Or the homegrown jihad cell in North Carolina, whose front man was Muslim convert Daniel Patrick Boyd? And what should we make of the investigations of terror activity in Massachusetts and Ohio?
At what point do such “isolated incidents,†as they are called by the current government, become an irrefutable pattern?
There are more questions that the American people should be asking, and demanding answers from those in charge:
How can we deny that radical Islamists have not penetrated our institutions for nefarious (evil) reasons?
How many more are there?
How many more incidents will occur before we wake up?
How long will it take our government to realize this is our enemy?
Had any of the busted terror plots listed above come to fruition, would they be called “man-caused disasters,†as current Homeland Security protocol dictates?
Americans are waiting for answers. Will we receive satisfactory ones?
