Attack was nothing less than mass murder

The terrible massacre that took place at Fort Hood this week makes me sick!  Whatever the bleeding hearts want to call it — “the shooter broke under pressure of harrassment about his religious beliefs,” “or he was afraid of being deployed to Afghanistan” — it was mass murder.

I’m fed up with  all this political correctness. Do you think for one minute that if he’d been anything else but Islamic that news commentators would be pussyfooting around about “why” he killed and wounded so many of his fellow soldiers? If someone who claimed to be a Christian shot a bunch of people, they’d crucify him in the media … Hmmm.

Islam is not a religion of peace. Muhammed killed, or had put to death, thousands before he got people to go along with him. He wrote in the Koran that the “infidel” must be converted, and if he wouldn’t convert, he must be killed. With Islam we are facing an even greater threat than we did with Communism. It’s time to wake up, folks.
