CORRECTION: I personally do not like Islam as a religion.

“Noch bevor die Fakten klar waren, blühten die Spekulationen -”

What the Spiegel was saying about you Debbie was that you were one out of the many media pundits making blurting out speculations before all the facts were in. that jumping the gun like this, whether you turn out to be right or not, is not proper journalism. One has to read the entire article in Der Spiegel to get the proper context.

I personally do like like Islam but then neither do I like any institutionalized religion. There are Muslims who I know here in Europe who are about as religious as Attila the Hun. Their main interest is business and leading mainly secular lives. So jumping to conclusions, or at least creating the appearance of doing so about all Muslims doesn’t always look smart.

“As readers know, I don’t exactly have a great love for the Germans”

Suggestion: You can use Google Language Service to translate almost anything. The translation of this German says:
“He is a Muslim, “said the presenter Bill O’Reilly, the main evening broadcast of the TV channel Fox News, in a trembling voice, began – as the automatically declare a motive. “That has indeed come to see you,” wrote the conservative columnist Debbie Schlussel on her blog. “Even as a loyal, moderate, an American Muslim.” Among them was starting to illustrate the Islamic crescent.”

Terrorist or Not a Terrorist

It doesn’t matter. He’ll be tried, convicted and punished for multiple murders.

Justice will be as swift as to which degree the military bows to political correctness. If they buy the psychobabble then it’ll be a long messy courts martial.

I wish the Lame Stream Media would stop using the words “alleged shooter”. I guess the victims are “allegedly dead”.

Germany has a pretty horrid situation with their Muslim Turks, so that article’s tone is not only churlishly condescending, but hypocritical. Also, our lovely Der Spiegel seems to ignore Major Hasan’s past conduct. It would actually be irrational and obtuse not to think that a religious motivation might be behind the attack.

“Yet no one seemed to care that he was a national security risk and act accordingly. For that inaction, 14 Americans paid with their lives and over 30 were wounded. Its an act of war, not a tragedy and not a crime. It was an attack upon America!

I agree. I also think it was an act of treason for those who knew of his statements and behavior not to do anything about him and to allow him to continue to “counsel” veterans. These heroes who suffered enough overseas were then forced to go here in America to a Muslim terrorist for their post-traumatic stress. That is true torture and a very cruel thing to put our veterans through.
