#1 There are many cases of Muslims serving in both Iraq and Afghanistan and several have died on the battlefield.

But are they worth the risk?

We've been warned over and over again that these people want us dead and every time they get a chance they prove it. And yet our leaders cling to their politically correct belief in "diversity". OK, so we need blacks, Hispanics and Asians. But we don't need Muslims. We can't afford the risk anymore.

#2 I have no reason to doubt that the American Muslim Armed Forces and Veterans Affairs Council is anything other than an honorable organization with honorable people.

They condemned it and it sounds as if they're as horrified as we are.

Let's not tar people with the brush of group identity. That would make us into progressive Democrats.

People are individuals. There are 3,572 Muslims in our military, and until one of them gives me doubt I'm going to assume that they're all decent people.

The problem here is that Major Hasan DID give people reason to doubt his loyalty (not to mention his sanity) and no one did anything about it. THAT'S the problem.

#3 The problem here is that Major Hasan DID give people reason to doubt his loyalty (not to mention his sanity) and no one did anything about it. THAT'S the problem. That should be run as a banner headline on all the MSM, but it won't happen.

You mean as the Progressive Democrats do with every conservative Christian for the actions of Eric Rudolf.

#5 Listen to the broadcast at the link of the article Officials Begin Putting Shooting Pieces Together. There are Muslims in the Armed Forces who not only disagree with Dr. Hasan, but have spoken up about it. And do remember that the FBI had been investigating Dr. Hasan for six months; however, good as they have been at preventing other incidents, there was never any guarantee they'd stop everyone in time.

Actually spoke up about it? Well, now, that should bring comfort to the families of the victims and all the fatherless children, shouldn't it?
