Was it a religion the drove him to do what he did or extreme psychological duress like John Russell a few months ago? This is the line the surveyor so wants everybody to understand. That it was his muslim-ness. And muslim-ness should be on trial. We start to go into orwellian thought control with this sort of BS, it’s just like mccarthyism, what was he thinking. When did he switch to the other side. Nonsense.

Once again, Arraya totally misrepresents my position. I am not saying to persecute muslims just because they are muslims. However, it is very clear that the actions Hasan commited showed his jihadist ideology, which come from his understanding of Islam. And Islam has a basis in violence and in the teaching of violence.
Once again Arraya displays a true lack of logical understanding of the issues through the use of the straw man argument, by accusing me of Orwellian and McCarthyism.
Arraya would like you to totally dismiss the fact that Hasan is a jihadist, instead offering the twisted logic shown above and just accept the idea of Hasan as a crazy person who just got set off. Unfortunately, the facts don’t add up to that conclusion. The facts more readily point to the idea that Hasan was a jihadist, that he based his belief on koranic law and principles. Unfortunately that is a hard idea to accept.
Because many people refuse to look into this issue, this idea is dismissed so casually, that was why Hasan was able to kill those people in the first place.
