People claiming to know Hasan told interviewers he made frequent statements against the wars and the U.S. presence in Islamic countries. Texas Republican Rep. Michael McCaul, told reporters after he was briefed on the shootings that Hasan "took a lot of advanced training in shooting." Why would a psychiatrist need advanced training in shooting unless he believed in murder as therapy? Shouldn't that, coupled with his statements about "the aggressor" and other actions -- including his preference for Muslim clothing -- have alerted someone in authority that he might be a time bomb waiting to go off? Yes, absolutely. But who wants to jeopardize a career by raising such questions and becoming the target of "civil rights groups" and politically correct dupes? Intimidating Americans into silence when they know better is also a very effective strategy when fighting a war.

Sound minds not brainwashed by our own "re-educators" should have seen this coming. Though born in America to Jordanian immigrant parents, Hasan described himself as a "Palestinian." He got into trouble by attempting to proselytize some of his patients.

Most top federal agencies, including the Pentagon and DHS, now have offices of "civil liberties," offices recommended by the 9/11 Commission to focus on "outreach" to the Muslim community. In this, they follow efforts by the Bush administration, which dispatched Karen Hughes to tell Muslim women in Saudi Arabia that American women are so free they can drive their own cars. The Saudi women were not impressed.

It's one thing to be suckered by others. It's quite another to sucker yourself.

How much longer will we tolerate fighting this war as if it were a minor crime wave? Our enemies are fighting to win and they are fighting everywhere, including within our borders. People trained to appear non-threatening, until the threat becomes obvious and it is too late to do anything about it, are infiltrating our government and society at every level.

It is irrelevant that some have put the number of radicalized Muslims worldwide at 10 percent. Even if that figure is accurate, one hundred million jihadists can cause a lot of damage, as they plot the destruction of Western democracies. Other wars have been won with far fewer soldiers and far fewer dupes

The facts are emerging. The warning signs were there. Story after story is breaking new information. Even some in the “establishment media,” such as ABC News, have produced news segments revealing the evidence that Nidal Hasan was a radical Islamist.

The FBI had seen warning signs. So had the CIA and the Joint Terrorism Task Force. Numerous fellow officers had witnessed Hasan make statements, even during presentations he gave, that should have set off alarm bells.

Some of the latest news to come out is that Hasan had been in communication with an al Qaeda imam — and authorities knew it and dismissed Hasan’s contacts with the conclusion that he was doing “research” for a thesis!

The tapestry of jihad being pieced together has prompted Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman to call for hearings to investigate who knew what, when, and why action was not taken.

How is it possible that so many warning signs and red flags were ignored, rationalized, or dismissed?

There are at least two reasons.

The first is that too many in leadership in our country, whether in government, the military, or counterterrorism, do not want to connect the dots between the jihadist ideology, so clearly permeating the holy books of Islam, and the act of jihad.

ACT! has been exposing this failure ever since its founding. Dr. Walid Phares, during his presentation at the American Congress for Truth webcast conference “Radical Islam’s Threat to America”(held this past Saturday), stated astonishingly that eight years after 9/11 there is still widespread denial in our government about who the enemy is and why the enemy acts as he does.

This may help explain why, on the day of the Ft. Hood massacre, the FBI released a statement declaring “this was not a terrorist act.” How could they “rush to judgment” with such a faulty claim so quickly?

Answer:“Jihad Denial Syndrome.”

The second reason is linked to the first, which we discussed in our email alert yesterday — a culture of political correctness.

College campuses, Hollywood and television, and much of the “establishment media” are principal drivers of this culture of political correctness. In this worldview, there is a denial of fact and evidence that literally boggles the mind.

Our jihadist enemies throughout the world don’t hide the jihadist ideology — they celebrate it. It’s there for all the world to see — if it wants to. Too many of our leaders don’t want to.

Another enforcer of this political correctness is organizations like CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations. For years CAIR has bullied, browbeat, intimidated and smeared anyone who dares to speak the truth about radical Islam.(See our petition calling for a government investigation of CAIR.)

Last Thursday night, CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad denounced the violence — and then emphasized that this had nothing to do with Islam.

So did other representatives of other Islamist organizations.

In other words, they didn’t denounce the Islamist, jihadist ideology that led to the violence. Indeed, they in effect denied such an ideology existed. Awad was crystal clear when he stated, falsely, that no religion or ideology could justify such an atrocity.

And in doing so these Islamist enforcers of political correctness fired a warning shot across the bow of the media, the military and the government. They were making it clear that politically correct “Jihad Denial Syndrome” must be adhered to.

Eleven days ago ACT! for America launched a national petition calling for a government investigation of CAIR, due to the mounting revelations of CAIR misdeeds and ties to terrorist organizations.

This petition is even more important now, in the aftermath of Ft. Hood. Why? Because America can no longer afford to be held hostage to a politically correct “Jihad Denial Syndrome” by a terrorist-tainted organization like CAIR.

This is why we continue to urge you, if you haven’t already done so, to sign our petition calling for a government investigation of CAIR.

Senator Lieberman is doing the right thing by convening hearings to investigate the Ft. Hood terrorist act.

We can’t change the culture of political correctness overnight, or the “Jihad Denial Syndrome” that political correctness has helped spawn.

But we are not powerless. There are actions we can take.

Join us today in signing the petition calling for a government investigation of CAIR.

One talk show host said this morning that political correctness can be annoying, even silly, but at Ft. Hood it was deadly.

Prudent.
Hey Dumb Ass
It's so nice of you to care about Afghanistan now.
For 8 years that war was ignored...there was no plan.
So now, what we have there is a giant clusterf*ck.
I would rather the President take the time (after 8 years of nothing) to make a solid plan with a precise strategy...so that we don't end up there for 8 MORE years.

Hmmm, you should try to keep up. He was charged with murder and the prosecution specifically stated that he acted alone. You might want to look into the US Code's definition of terrorism. Sorry, you don't just get to make up the rules as you go along.

Your absolutely wrong. It is a must or America will not know it's enemies.(PC has no place in fighting terrorism). Someone afraid of speaking out caused this action. It was absolutely avoidable if only someone wasn't afraid of insulting someone faith or race. You by not acknowledging it is the one who looks dumber than a stick.
Where's the support for your assertion that no one did anything because they were afraid? You got an interview with a colleague or a superior up yer butt or something? Also explain how it was “absolutely avoidable”. Let’s see, he hadn’t committed any crimes. Homeland Security investigated him in 2008 and the FBI in 2002 (both under Bush’s watch) and they didn’t deem him a threat.
BTW, I said it was up to the prosecutor to make the call and he did; he charged him with murder.

Only a limpbrained liberal lackey like you would continue to parrot this lie. Unlike the current president, Bush didn't stay hiding in the White House. When he left the White House on a Friday night at 11:55 PM to fly to Camp David or the Crawford ranch his detractors would then call that a full day of vacation. And when he flew back to Washington at 5:00AM on a Monday morning that day also was added as a vacation day. Bush also met with and entertained dozens of foreign dignitaries at both Camp David and the Crawford ranch, however all those functions were ignored, and all working weekends were counted as vacation days.
Now the current president Barry Hussein Obama does not like spending time at Camp David because it is a secluded Naval facility and like most power usurpers he is leery of a military coup. He also avoids visiting his Chicago home because of all his political/criminal allies there that he owes. So the inexperienced marxist liar Obama prefers to stay/hide in Washington.

When the lame stream media actually reports the news without bias and with journalistic objectivity (which is their job), some of us jump at the opportunity to use them as a source...because it's the only ones libs will even acknowledge as credible. So, apparently, it is you who is paranoid when news is reported that doesn't support your rantings.

Hmmm you should try and keep up. You think that's the end of the charges?

The investigation is still ongoing, and he has only been changed with the deaths. Plenty more charges will be filed for the others that were wounded. In addition I suspect there are going to be gun charges.

Everday the story goes deeper in this guys past. Busineess cards with common terrorist abreviations/designations?
