I, personally, found this little snippet to be somewhat telling and more than a little sad.

A co-worker at Walter Reed said Hasan would not allow his photo to be taken with female co-workers, which became an issue during Christmas season when employees often took group photos. Co-workers would find a solo photo of Hasan and post it on the bulletin board without his permission.

Suspect in Fort Hood shooting, a Muslim, asked Army to discharge him, aunt said - washingtonpost.com

It does not, of course, excuse what he did but it does give a window into what may have been going through his mind before it so obviously snapped?

Why do whatever majority of people involved in a workplace, school. etc, always feel as though their way is the only "right" way and insist that others fall in line with their beliefs, all the while showing absolutely no respect for anyone else's possible beliefs?

Who here would not be outraged if their coworkers consistantly went behind their backs and did things to them which they had already specifically requested not be done?

Why is it so important to people that everyone celebrate "their" holidays even when it does not coincide with a religious belief?

Why is this not considered harrassment?
You make several valid points above which I agree with. I've had my face superimposed upon some magazine cover and pasted on the company bulletin board and I actually liked it. Granted, it did not insult my beliefs in any way.

The baffling part in all of this is that the man studied and (I believe) he was a psychiatrist. But he obviously reacted in a manner reflective of an unstable person. He didn't want to be sent to the middle east, yet he chose to remain in the military (or maybe they wouldn't release him). But it makes one wonder why the guy joined in the first place. I mean, does anyone join the military and expect NOT to see active conflict?

This ain't about christmas, it is about you taking any opportunity to spread the hate, all the while we do not know the details.. and in your rush to judgement, there is no respect for the families of these men and women, only another opportunity to spread your vile, tired message... let them mourn for chrissakes... respect thier lives.

BTW this guy was born in the US, went to school in the US, had been in the Army since 1997.. he was part of the "American Culture".... "poor guy might have been" is hardly a standard of anything except your warped view.

Your bigoted ass should be thrown off this board. The Julian Edelman thread was the biggest disgrace in the history of patsfans soley because of your anti-semitism.
The answer to that is, most far left liberals are now themselves Anti Semites, they have a Love Affair with Islam.

It's not about "seeing" Christmas, Harry, it's about being made to participate in it. Every one of us who is not a Christian is used to "seeing" Christmas - what we're not too comfortable with is being forced to participate in it.

I wouldn't be too happy in a burka, either, but I'll be damned if I'll deny someone else the right to wear one - just as I wouldn't want to deny a Christian the right to celebrate Christmas or to wear a crucifix around their neck - but I draw the line at peoplel using my picture to help celebrate a birthday for someone I don't believe in. Just as I'm sure you'd object to your picture being hung on a Hanukkah Bush or gracing a Ramadan board.
We go through this every Xmas now, Xmas bugs the hell out of the liberals, it's enough to make a person vomit to watch that dumpy little ET look alike Katie Couric put on her Pie Face Grin and tell you she no longer says "Merry Christmas" then she blabbers out her "Happy Holiday" bull*****, Jesus jumping Christ I'm getting sick now just thinking about it, I have to go.

Default I see no evil...

Connect the dots, gentlemen.

Hasan Akbar: two dead, fourteen injured.
The Fort Dix plot: thwarted but a potential for hundreds to have been killed
Now this. Thirteen dead, 30 wounded.

This is what's called a growing body count.

Let the hits keep coming.

Robert Spencer writes:
Quote:
The Huffington Post spun faster, asserting that “there is no concrete reporting as to whether Nidal Malik Hasan was in fact a Muslim or an Arab.”

Yet there was, and what’s more, Major Hasan’s motive was perfectly clear — but it was one that the forces of political correctness and the Islamic advocacy groups in the United States have been working for years to obscure.
As Harry Boy says, The people know, those of us who aren't shackled by the tenets of political correctness, that Stalinist plague found at most of our colleges and universities.

Its not racist to say that, only the self righteous ultra left wing PCers would say it is.

I have to be careful what i post, i just got up and am not alert, i could say something that could be misconstrued. A religious fanatic is a religious fanatic whether they're Christian Muslim, Hindu etc.

You're absolutely correct, Harry Boy.

Here's the most recent evidence. NBC Producer to Anti-ACORN Group: ‘Bite Me, Jew Boy!’Harry Boy, it's another reason smart Jews (like me, who also own guns) are getting out of secular Europe. Too many Jews, though, still subscribe to yesterday's notion that it is Christians who pose the greater threat. In fact, our biggest friends are the conservative Evangelical Christians.

I am sadly acknowledging the truth of Norman Podhoretz's new book. Here

Yeah, because when I think of the voice of American Jews, I think Norman Podhoretz
