AP Unclear What Motivated Devout Muslim Shouting "Allahu Akbar" to Kill
The Jawa Report —
... a mystery. Probably one that will never be solved: Soldiers who witnessed the shooting rampage at Fort Hood that left 13 people dead reported that the gunman shouted "Allahu Akbar!" an Arabic phrase for "God is great!" before opening fire, the base commander said Friday.... The motive for the shooting wasn't clear , but Hasan was apparently set to deploy soon and had expressed some anger about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Personally, I blame Bush. Update by Barbarossa: Instapundit adds this tidbit: On NPR I heard I cant find the story on their website yet that ...
Fort Hood Reax
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan —
... as fact can be quite harmful. It's often the case that
perceptions and judgments about stories like this solidify in the first
few hours after one hears about it. The impact of subsequent
corrections and clarifications pale in comparison to the impressions
that are first formed. Despite that, one false and contradictory claim
after the next was disseminated last night by the establishment media
with regard to the core facts of the attack.

He said officials had not confirmed that Hasan made the comment. Or this . He gave a Grand Rounds presentation. . . You take turns giving a lecture on, you know, the correct treatment of schizophrenia, the right drugs to prescribe for personality disorder, you know, that sort of thing. But instead of giving an academic paper, he gave a lecture on the Koran, and they said it didnt seem to be just an ...
LAT Jumps on PC Bandwagon, Ignores Islamic Beliefs of Ft. Hood Shooter
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias —
... NPR reported today that Hasan gave a lecture on the proper Muslim ritual for the beheading of an infidel. "It seemed to be his own beliefs. That’s what a lot of people thought," one attendee stated, adding, "people actually talked in the hallway afterwards about 'is he one of these people that’s going to freak out and shoot people someday?' " ...
NPR Reports: Hasan said that if you’re a nonbeliever the Koran says you should have your head cut off, you should have oil poured down your throat, you should be set on fire.

Folks, NPR is the left leaning, government subsidized news service who to my surprise is doing a fabulous job of covering this story. I encourage you to click the link and listen to the NPR report (I also fear that it will be taken down so get it now while the getting is good).
UPDATE via the Instapundit: Here’s the NPR segment. Key bit: ...

... it fit should be held responsible for it.”
Our Book doesn’t say to kill the Infidel if he will not convert. Our Book doesn’t turn women into objects that should never appear in photo’s with men. Our Book doesn’t tell us to yell “Allahu Akbar” when killing the infidel. Nidal believed America was the bad guy, and the aggressor. He considered himself a Palestinian first. He lectured on how great decapitation of infidels was.
It could turn out that this was more a case ...

... . He lectured on how great decapitation of infidels was. It could turn out that this was more a case of going postal than a Muslim attack on the infidel. We might never know, particularly if Nidal does not survive. That said, perhaps the Muslim community, which is probably mostly just good people, devout, caring, and proud, should stand up and put an end to what certain members of their religion are doing in the name of their religion. Until such time, their religion will be blamed, and, quite frankly, they are just perpetuating the idea that they were forced to do it by ...
Blood and bigotry: Conservatives attack Obama, scapegoat Muslims, and shamelessly use Fort Hood massacre to score partisan political points
The Reaction —
... -- Glenn "Instapundit" Reynolds, quoting NPR, reports that Hasan was "disciplined for proselytizing about his Muslim faith with patients and colleagues." Once again, conservatives are making a lot of this, but how is such "proselytizing" any different, or worse, than the aggressive Christian ministries that operate in the military? ...
A Traitor Not A Victim -- By: Mark Steyn
The Corner on National Review Online —
... [Major Hasan] probably deserves desertion, treason and terrorism charges if, as all indicators seem to very strongly suggest, he was engaged in jihad, from his violence-inciting, hateful rants about the Koran, his denunciation of the United States as “the aggressor” in arguments with fellow soldiers, to his shouts of “Allahu Akhbar,” to what they believe were his Internet defenses of suicide bombings, to his choice of targets, the Soldier Readiness Center at Fort Hood. If al-Qaeda is an amorphous enemy, an idea made situationally manifest by the will of its ...
Muslim Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan is an Islamophobe, but can we bring ourselves to blame him?
Southern Appeal —
Within hours of Maj. Hasan’s gunning down dozens of his unarmed US Army comrades, National Public Radio was on the air with the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder [PTSD] explanation for his murders, a well-acknowledged psychological syndrome. And although Instapundit gives NPR good marks for digging into the actual facts of the murders yesterday, this morning NPR returned to its usual fare [I heard it myself, from some "reporter"], what a wise man once called the “dictatorship of relativism”: that there are two theories: a) That this had something to do with Islam, or b) That ...
