It’s been reported that Ft. Hood shooter Major Nidal Hasan wrote some controversial comments online, but it was not enough to prompt a formal investigation….
There was a grenade thrown amongs a group of American soldiers. One of the soldiers, feeling that it was to late for everyone to flee jumped on the grave with the intention of saving his comrades. Indeed he saved them. He inentionally took his life (suicide) for a noble cause i.e. saving the lives of his soldier. To say that this soldier committed suicide is inappropriate. Its more appropriate to say he is a brave hero that sacrificed his life for a more noble cause. Scholars have paralled this to suicide bombers whose intention, by sacrificing their lives, is to help save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers. If one suicide bomber can kill 100 enemy soldiers because they were caught off guard that would be considered a strategic victory. Their intention is not to die because of some despair. The same can be said for the Kamikazees in Japan. They died (via crashing their planes into ships) to kill the enemies for the homeland. You can call them crazy i you want but their act was not one of suicide that is despised by Islam. So the scholars main point is that “IT SEEMS AS THOUGH YOUR INTENTION IS THE MAIN ISSUE” and Allah (SWT) knows best.
Dunno about you, but I may have given the good major another look. Then again, I’m an intolerant, profiling conservative.
“Then again, I’m an intolerant, profiling conservative.”
exactly..stereotypes be damned
anyway, how this asshole compares the heroic act of jumping ON the grenade by the Marine who was killed doing it, as opposed to stupid suicide bombers who UNLEASH grenades and material is BEYOND me..we’re talking apples and oranges here – stopping a grenade and hopefully preventing OTHERS from being killed and USING explosives TO kill others
what….the….FUCK?
I agree, Bob. I’m all for profiling these folks. They can whine all they want. If they’ll stop blowing shit up then we can start talking and being concerned. Until then, STFU!
The Larry King – Dr. Phil clip I’ve seen at Debbie Schlussel’s blog just pissed me off totally. The mealy mouthed talk of PTSD is BS! He was at Walter Reed and at Ft. Hood. What trauma was he dealing with? He’s a typical whiny muzzie.
I read an interview in which an official said that an investigation WAS in progress, but that it hadn’t been determined if the poster was indeed the major. I think it was in an on-line newspaper that Bob posted earlier.
As far as I’m concerned, those who died yesterday…are WAR dead.
I can’t wait until he wakes up and realizes he isn’t knee deep in virgins with Allah.
