Not hate speech, just the facts as the Koran says

Qur’an (8:12) - “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them”

Qur’an (2:191-193) - “And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution [of Muslims] is worse than slaughter [of non-believers]…and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah.”

Deleting the truth, for fear of offending someone, is precisely why we are at the crossroads we are as a nation right now.

I’m sure you will delete this comment as well, but know, as you do, that I said nothing hateful in this comment, but merely quoted actual verses from the muslims koran.

I edited the above comment that criticized Islam because those who hate can easily use quotes taken out of context to justify their murders, even from the Bible(the witchhunts) or Darwin (the Nazis).

Those with mental problems alas are vulnerable to hate speech since depression is anger pointed inward, but bigotry allows one to scapegoat another to handle one’s anger.

That is why “hate speech” is so dangerous.

I agree with Nancy Reyes, that Fort Hood massacre represented an ‘amok’, or murderous frenzy following depression. I was educated to understand this concept by Dr. Julian Lieb, a retired Yale psychiatry professor, on his excellent article on MedPie.com: http://www.medpie.com/top-health-stories/featured-articles/09-amok-fort-hood-murder-08.html

I’m see postings on a lot of sites asking, since he made Islamist rantings about killing infidels, supporting suicide bombers etc etc….including to fellow military officers, as well as on the net, why wasn’t something done? Well I think I can answer that. Political correctness.

Lets face it, the whole purpose of political correctness is to silence people, especially in regard to Islam and muslims. The knee jerk reaction to anybody complaining about the behaviour or attitude of any muslim….regardless of how disgusting……is the call the person complaining a racist bigot….islamophobia. Think not? Well even now after he has blown away dozens of people…..you still can link Islam to the problem without hearing this PC rubbish…..what hope would you have had before he done it.

So the politically correct, multiculturist, cultural relitivists, and morl relitivists have actually got people to scared to say anything negative about Islam or muslims…….congretulations…..so now….don’t try and shift the blame for these things onto non muslims who keep their mouths shut….because thats what you wanted. You treasonist politically correct gutless wonders have as much blood on your hands as the fanatics…..well done.

Case Closed Inc - Your comment has nothing to do with the circumstances or motives of the perpetrator of the Fort Hood attack.

I think your comment relates more to the man who
went on a shooting spree at his former place of work in Orlando, FL. killing at least one and injuring others. Of course he’s just fine and in jail now.
What you said is true about people who are down and out and feel they’be been mistreated. It happens kind of a lot (IMO)

I think both killers were nuts in a way - but not in a way that excuses what they did or should get them out of being punished for what they did.
