……However if you’re a Muslim….an Islamic radical….a Jihadist…..or someone who has attended services at a mosque….known someone who has attended services at a mosque….walked by a mosque….or know what a mosque is……THEN AND ONLY THEN can you kill several people and be assured of not having your religious beliefs brought up in a news story…..
After all we are a nation that practices tolerance toward those who believe differently than we do. Well…not quite. If you are Muslim…then yes. If you are a Christian….then it would be a resounding no. If someone commits a crime and they have ever claimed to be a Christian…a lot of the "mainstream" media would report it like this…..
John Doe, 53 a devout Christian, who attended church with his family at The First Church of Wherever….was charged today with driving 65 in a 55 mile per hour zone. Officials say that this heinous act was committed while his wife and 3 children were in the car with him. The arresting officer said he had never seen anything this tragic and irresponsible in all of his 3 weeks in law enforcement. Those close to Doe said that he was a member of the NRA, the Republican Party, as well as a rabid supporter of the war in Iraq. He also voted for George W. Bush not once, but two times. Reports say that he not only had radical Christian views…but also that he supported a movement to spread Christianity throughout the world. He also reportedly was involved in teaching small children his radical views, and was described by those who attended the same church, as a “Sunday School Teacher”. The silence in this matter is deafening since when asked to comment on this, Doe’s pastor had no comment. In another action that clearly proves that he is guilty, Doe has hired John Smith, also a right-wing extremist Christian, as his attorney to represent him, in what some legal analysts say could, and should, be tried as a capital case.
Ok….maybe that’s a little extreme…..but look at the reporting of recent events at Ft Hood and try to convince me that any “mainstream” media organization is reporting the facts….or asking the tough questions regarding Nidal Malik Hasan who killed 13 people and injured another 42. In most of these news stories in the “mainstream" media, Hasan is described as “Major Nidal Hasan”….as an “Army Officer”…as an “Army Psychiatrist”…and then of course as a “U.S.-born citizen of Palestinian descent”….However the Associated Press did report the following…..”A radical American imam living in Yemen….who had contact with two 9/11 hijackers…..praised Hasan as a hero on his personal Web site Monday”. Well that’s certainly to his credit…don’t you think? Of course that hard-hitting news organization CNN, did have some powerful insight as to why Hasan might have gone on his shooting spree….”A Muslim, he had told his family he had been taunted after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. In August, he reported to police that his car was keyed and a bumper sticker that read "Allah is Love" was torn off. A neighbor was charged with criminal mischief after that complaint.”. Well that makes sense….doesn’t it? Who wouldn’t go out and kill a bunch of people if someone made fun of them….keyed their car….and tore off their bumper sticker? We can only hope that the person who tore off his “I Love Allah” bumper sticker….(probably one of those radical Christians)….will get the death penalty for their hate crime.
If you think that it sounds as though I’m a little bit pissed off…..then you would be wrong. I’m a WHOLE LOT pissed off. For God’s sake, the man was in close contact with someone who is under investigation for being involved in terrorism. He made numerous statements to colleagues regarding his radical Muslim views. The Washington Post reported on its web site that “Hasan turned a medical presentation at Walter Reed into a rant on Islam in late 2007”. The Post also reported that “colleagues at Fort Hood said they had complained to higherups that Hasan was anti-American”. Hasan had also told Col. Terry Lee, a colleague at Fort Hood, that he believed “Muslims should rise up against American aggressors". Given those facts….let’s be careful that we don’t label him as some kind of extremist. Let’s not try to tie his radical religious views into the horrendous acts that he committed. After all, we would never want the facts to get in the way of the truth.
In light of these things that are slowly coming out…..do you wonder why no one paid attention to those things?.....this could be it…..”Army officials have voiced concern about jumping to any conclusions about Hasan's motive, warning about a possible backlash against Muslim soldiers”. Yeah we wouldn’t want that would we? Yeah we don’t want anyone to suffer any kind of “backlash”. Well of course unless they are a Christian. I would bet that if this were a Christian (although, unlike Islamic extremist, REAL Christians don’t go out and kill people in the name of their religion)….anyway, where was I…oh yeah….if this were a Christian, who killed someone in a traffic accident, there would be some anti-Christian news organization that would have NO problem “jumping to conclusions” that this behavior was not an accident, rather it was motivated by deeply entrenched Christian hatred toward Muslims.
It’s time to call the man what he is….evil. Maybe he is troubled….but that doesn’t make him any LESS evil. If these things were done out of a deep-seated hatred toward Americans (soldiers in particular) Then he should be tried for treason. If his justification for shooting innocent people is related to his religious beliefs….then call it what it is. Why do we insist on dancing around the truth of the fact, that there are a LOT of Islamic extremist, who want to kill us? And a LOT of them are living right here in our country. I will NOT apologize for my Christian heritage….I will NOT apologize for the Christian heritage of my country…As an American citizen you have the right to worship however you want….but don’t you dare try to kill my fellow citizens in the name of your religion and think that I don’t have the right to point it out….
I will admit that I am not a journalist and I have no formal journalistic training….but at least I will speak the truth…..So the following is for some of you “trained professional journalist” out there….”I believe that you need to wake up to the fact that evil actions are evil, regardless of what label that they are committed under?….I believe that you need to lay off of your obvious hatred for Christians….and your love for, fear of, or whatever it is, toward radical Islam and anyone else who hates Christians….I believe that you need to try something different for a change and try reporting the truth?....I believe that its time to report things for what they really are, call a spade a spade (or a terrorist a terrorist)”…...Then Again….That’s Just Me
