My latest Newsletter from "Women For Israel's Tomorrow" (Women in Green), contained an article that should be compulsory reading for every person in the World.
I can't re-publish the article, but I can provide a few quotes that will give you some insight into what the article contains.
The article written by Barry Rubin and appears on the Global Research in International Affairs (GLORIA) website, and is entitled: "Why I Murdered 13 American Soldiers at Fort Hood: Nadal Hassan Explains It All to You".
It is compelling reading. Here are the quotations:
How do we know that the attack at Fort Hood was an act of Islamist terrorism? Simple, Major Nidal Hassan told us so. Hassan is the first terrorist in history to give an academic lecture explaining why he was about to attack.
It was reported that the audience was shocked and frightened by his lecture.
It is quite a good talk. He's logical and presents his evidence. This is clearly not the work of a mad man or a fool... he concluded that he could not be a proper Muslim without killing American soldiers.
In a sense, Hassan's lecture was a cry for help:
Being ordered to ship out to one of these countries, Hassan now had to decide: which side are you on?
Hassan was no fool or blind fanatic. Indeed, he presents a sophisticated view.
And at the very end, he proposes what might have been his own escape route:
"Recommendation: Department of Defense should allow Muslim soldiers the option of being released as `Conscientious objectors' to increase troop morale and decrease adverse events." [Slide 50]
his action cannot be attributed to a "misreading" or "heretical" interpretation of Islam.
The fact that Hassan's lecture has not been the centerpiece of the whole post-massacre debate is a true example of how impoverished are the "experts," journalists, and politicians at dealing with these issues.
