Loss of diversity, says General Casey, would be worse than jihad murder: “Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength.

In the wake of Fort Hood jihad, Houston authorities try to assure non-Muslims that steps are being taken to keep them safe — no, wait…
Silly me. I thought that after an Islamic jihadist murdered twelve innocent non-Muslims, it would be the non-Muslims who would need reassuring and protecting. But of course that non-existent backlash takes priority over 12 dead unbelievers. “Some Muslims fear backlash after rampage: In the wake of Fort Hood tragedy, Houston authorities try to assure the […]
Fort Hood shooter taught Koran when he was supposed to be giving a medical lecture
Here is yet another indication that the Fort Hood massacre was a jihad carried out by Nidal Hasan. Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, was supposed to give a “grand round” — a medical lecture.
