I call it an Islamic Terrorist attack. I'm a bit confused on why the White House is not calling this an Islamic Terrorist attack? Let's look at the definition of a terrorist:
1. a person, usually a member of a group, who uses or advocates terrorism.
2. a person who terrorizes or frightens others.
On David Horowitz Newsreel he defines terrorism and then shows how Hasan fits into that catagory:
According to U.S. statute, the term “terrorism” means premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience.
- “Premeditated” – Nidal Malik Hasan bought his guns, loaded them, brought them to Fort Hood and began shooting.
- “Politically motivated” - Hasan has been quoted as approving of suicide bombing and the murder of army recruits by another Muslim.
- “Noncombatant targets” -The term “noncombatant” is interpreted to include, in addition to civilians, military personnel who at the time of the incident are unarmed and/or not on duty. Most if not all of Hasan’s victims were reported to be unarmed until a policewoman was able to bring him down and was also shot in the process.
- “By subnational groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience” - Well it is true that Hasan appeared to be operating alone, although he had clandestinely contacted on several occasions his former radical imam, Anwar al-Awlaki, after the latter fled to Yemen and became a recruiter for al Qaeda.
So what's the problem? Why can't this President call a spade a spade....damnit....I want an answer... is Hasan a terrorist or is he not. You've had plenty of time to think about it.... now give us an answer!
