Ten top reasons Obama in denial Hasan is a terrorist

10) There are no terrorists and there is no terrorism: there are only "man-caused disasters" ( although logically being vacuous as to the difference between accidents & stupidity and deliberate acts against non-combatants.)The "War on Terrorism"(deliberately vague, itself) has morphed into "overseas contingency operations."
9) Hasan should be presumed innocent of anything, even a criminal act, until proved beyond a reasonable doubt ( the old "smoking gun" proof doesn't fly in the Obamaian Age, at least for those protected by political correctness.)
8) At most, there might have been a criminal act, equivalent ( in the wise eyes of the politically-correct Geraldo Rivera ) to the Florida shooting by an ex-employee.Newsweek and the bulk of the main stream media (MSM) blew off religious connection "he is just some nut." Four hours after the shooting, Obama's FBI asserted "no connection with terrorism." (Hasan accidentally belched "Allahu Akbar.")
7) Before assessing blame, we must consider the "root causes" (the Officer Krupke defense: "we're depraved because we're deprived."). These causes are never "evil," let alone "jihadi fanaticism," but are usually mental, occasioned by some defect of society or the policy of previous administrations.In particular, the first recourse was to cite Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (newly revealed as a contagious disease since Major Hasan had never been in harm's way.)
6) Moral relativism and equivalence hold sway; we should withhold judgment until all the "facts" are in.This incident was, after all, no worse than many other things nor more remarkable. Obama has apologized for worse things done by the U.S.
5) Religion has no part in any crime. Islam, especially, is a religion of peace. Jihad just means personal struggle, anyway.Anyone who says different is Islamophobic.
4) Obama has a special affinity for Islam and worries that anything that might compromise his top-priority "outreach to Muslims" should be avoided as a diversion.General Casey has to protect the military's special recruitment of, and tolerance for, Muslims.
3) The primary worry is to avoid backlash against Muslims in the U.S.and compromise the special outreach to American Muslims by the military ( and prison chaplains,etc.)
2) In an interview with Laura Haim on Canal Plus, a French television station, Mr. Obama noted that the United States also could be considered as “one of the largest Muslim countries in the world.” He's doing his best.http://tinyurl.com/ybogv7qFebruary 07, 2009 $20.3 Million for the Resettlement of Radical Muslims
1) Were the Ft Hood massacre to be acknowledged as the worst act of jihadi terrorism on U.S. soil since 9/11, it might possibly be laid at the door of Obama, as being too lax and politically correct about national security...and that just can't be, by definition.

EDITORIAL: Too scared to recognize terrorism
Ignoring facts isn't sensitive; it is suicidal By THE WASHINGTON TIMES Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan was declared "not a terrorist" before the facts were out - even before officials were sure whether the attacker was alive or dead. Failing to honestly name a terrorist attack despite the evidence is as destructive and dishonest as leaping to call an attack terrorism without the facts to support that.
Apparently, the claim was based largely on the fact that Maj. Hasan appears to have been a lone gunman. However, terrorism is defined not by the number of people involved, but by the motivations and intentions of the attacker. If reports about him are true, Maj. Hasan clearly was a terrorist.
He reportedly was upset about the activities of the United States in the Middle East and purportedly had made postings about suicide attacks on jihadist forums. He told an associate that "maybe the Muslims should stand up and fight against the aggressor"; he was videotaped on the morning of the attack wearing traditional white clothing in the manner of someone about to martyr himself. The same day, he divested himself of belongings and handed out Korans, and he shouted the battle cry of the jihadists, "Allahu Akbar!" before opening fire. If these reports are true, this was not just terrorism; it was Islamic jihadist terrorism.
It is unclear whether Maj. Hasan acted alone or others were involved in this attack. It would not come as a surprise to learn more people were involved. If so, it will constitute a major counterterrorism failure.
Troubling questions are emerging. What diverted authorities from doing a more thorough job of investigating Maj. Hasan six months ago, when he was suspected of jihadist tendencies? Why was he allowed to remain on active duty in the Army, live amongst the troops and prepare for deployment to a combat zone? Those who claim that such an investigation would be some form of discriminatory profiling are simply wrong. It is not profiling to investigate someone based on probable cause. The fact that Maj. Hasan is a Muslim would not be reason enough to open an investigation. However, a Muslim in uniform openly discussing violence against the United States and posting his views on suicide attacks to jihadist forums should at least get a second look.
Those who want to explain this away as the result of stress, workplace violence or the "stretched force" are willfully blind. Condemned Beltway sniper John Allen Muhammad, scheduled for execution this week for his role in killing 10 people and wounding three in October 2002, petitioned for clemency on the basis that he suffers from severe mental illness and Gulf war syndrome. Surely someone who hunts down and murders strangers is not in his right mind, but the primary motive in both Muhammad's case and Maj. Hasan's was jihadism.
The refreshing candor of someone like Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, the shooter in the June attack on the Army recruiting station in Little Rock, Ark., is rare. Reportedly, he said he was a practicing Muslim angry with the U.S. military for its crimes against Muslims and would have shot more than the two soldiers he killed if more had been available. This incident also was called "not terrorism."
The United States is engaged in a global struggle with violent adherents to an extremist Islamic creed. It does not besmirch the Muslim faith - or the vast majority of American Muslims - to admit that fact. The politically correct tendency to define attacks as something other than terrorism simply to avoid addressing the motives of the attacker is dangerous. Anyone who shouts "Allahu Akbar" and opens fire on a crowd of unarmed people is a terrorist. If Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan is not a terrorist, no one is.
Radical imam praises alleged Fort Hood shooter
By PAMELA HESS WASHINGTON – The personal Web site for a radical American imam living in Yemen who had contact with two 9/11 hijackers is praising alleged Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan as a hero. The posting Monday on the Web site for Anwar al Awlaki, who was a spiritual leader at two mosques where three 9/11 hijackers worshipped, said American Muslims who condemned the attacks on the Texas military base last week are hypocrites who have committed treason against their religion.***Perhaps they're just being insincere and, therefore, thankfully just committing treason against their country.*** ...Anwar said the only way a Muslim can justify serving in the U.S. military is if he intends to "follow in the footsteps of men like Nidal."//
Even the Army is politically correct and didn't follow up:
There had been signs in recent months that Hasan's growing anger with the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were at odds with his military service, including his comments that the war on terror was "a war on Islam." Others who knew Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, said he had wrestled with what to tell fellow Muslim solders who had their doubts about fighting in Islamic countries. "I told him, `There's something wrong with you,'" Osman Danquah, co-founder of the Islamic Community of Greater Killeen, told The Associated Press on Saturday. "I didn't get the feeling he was talking for himself, but something just didn't seem right."
Danquah assumed the military's chain of command knew about Hasan's doubts, which had been known for more than a year to Hasan's classmates at a Maryland graduate military medical program. There, students complained to faculty about Hasan's "anti-American propaganda," but said a fear of appearing discriminatory against a Muslim student kept officers from filing a formal complaint.
