Colorado Sheriff's Joke Causes Muslim Woman's 'hurt feelings'

Some quick comments:

Oh here we go again - a poor muslim suffering from hurt feelings - oh the inhumanity of it all!!!!!  Now a voluntary Christmas tree trimming party is "politically incorrect" and Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden's joke has caused hurt feelings to a muslim woman who chooses to remain unnamed!

You know what I think is politically incorrect? - having people come into or live in the USA (or Great Britain or any other Christian nation) and tell us our Judeo/Christian traditions are 'politically incorrect' then go on to force our public schools and buildings to be rebuilt to accomodate their medieval religion/customs with footbaths, special toilets they can squat on, separate swimming/pool times for boys/men and girls/women, halal meals, and prayer rooms that are quickly turned into mosques thus no other faith can use it - otherwise the room are defiled- etc etc/ 

Then this woman goes on to spout the typical, over-used twaddle:

"We can't let our religion be hijacked by extremists," she said.

Oh really??

Why there are 1.5 BILLION  muslims in the world  including the supposedly small number of extremists - so the extremists are clearly outnumbered by moderate muslims therefore why don't the moderates eradicate those who do not represent them and threaten their countries and people? - those who cause bloodshed and terrorism?  Instead these "mainstream" muslims trot out the above statement (or facsimile) as some kind of shield that protects them from the truth & reality.  Ask a muslim man or woman the above question and don't hold your breath waiting for an answer.

Especially when the true feelings of many muslims is voiced again by this unnamed 'volunteer" who also suffers from unverified "threats" (from who??) :

 "an elected official jesting about the killing of Muslims goes beyond politically incorrect."

Surely US Marines helping to eliminate the "muslim extremists" would be welcome by 'moderate' muslims who are angry these 'extremists' are "hyjacking their religion & killing their people". 

But no - they/she view them as one of her own = muslim............

So which one is it?

Hear the doublespeak?

Sheriff's Muslim jokes draw concerns

Article:

A volunteer for the nonprofit Muslims Against Hunger group is not upset Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden plans to hold a Christmas tree-trimming party - an event Alderden proudly calls politically incorrect.

But the woman, a Muslim who lives in Northern Colorado, is concerned about a comment Alderden made while giving a speech at a Marine Corps Ball last month. The sheriff briefly posted a transcript of the speech on his Web site.

In the speech, Alderden joked about bumper stickers and highlighted one which read, "U.S. Marines: Travel agents to Allah."

The speech has been removed from the sheriff's Web site, and he declined to comment about the speech.

9NEWS also asked a dozen former Marines who heard his speech for their thoughts. None of them wanted to be quoted.

The woman, whose name is not being published because she has received threats, said an elected official jesting about the killing of Muslims goes beyond politically incorrect.

"Anytime you put someone down, whether it's for religion or race or anything, it doesn't just hurt the individual, it actually hurts the community where we live, and it's really not time to start doing things like this," she said.

The Muslim-American community contributes much to society, she said, and she also pointed out Muslim-American soldiers have died in the current wars while fighting for the United States.

"We're proud to be in this country," she said.

Cases like that of Nidal Malik Hasan, the man accused of shooting fellow soldiers at Fort Hood, are the exception rather than the rule, she said.

"We can't let our religion be hijacked by extremists," she said.

Obama tosses US citizens Under the ICC Bus while giving Muslim Terrorists USA Constitutional Rights

Recently President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder made the controversial decision to bring 9/11 Islamic terrorist Khalid Sheik Mohammed along with four other muslim terrorists (currently held at Guantanamo Bay) to New York City to face civilian trial. The decision is seen, by many, as pandering to the Democratic Party's lefty leaners by a President whose once phenomenal popularity is sinking faster than the Titanic.

Many Americans believe that this will only place the safety of the residents of New York City in jeopardy as well as cause the survivors and family members of the victims of 9/11 to face years of 'in your face' memories and testimony while the trials slowly progress through the US judicial system. Then there are at least three other problems:

* Military commissions are the appropriate venue for trials of unlawful combatant. The US military seized these terrorists on foreign battlefields -- and so didn't read them Miranda rights. The evidence against them was collected by soldiers under war-fighting conditions -- not with sterile gloves and clear plastic bags. And much of the best evidence against them is classified, because making it public would compromise the sources and methods of US intelligence gathering.  In short, these cases do not fit the mold of a typical murder trial in a civilian court.

* The administration is again blurring the line between ordinary crimes and acts of war. Likening terrorists at war with the United States to common shoplifters is wrongheaded. These are not members of our society who refuse to obey our laws: They are enemies of the United States, engaged in war against America and all that it stands for.

* The administration has offered no clear criteria for deciding which terrorists will be charged as criminals in federal court and which ones will face military commissions. Attorney General Holder, in announcing the decision, suggested that the five cases were appropriate for civilian trial simply because the evidence against the terrorists is so strong that they'll surely be found guilty. SOURCE

Despite the above concerns Obama and Holder are insisting upon giving foreign Islamic terrorists the Constitutional rights of United States citizens.

Now comes the news that Pres. Obama is not so interested in the reverse - in preserving the Constitutional rights of US citizens in other countries. In fact he is in the process of negotiating a treaty with the International Criminal Court  (ICC) to give the Court jurisdiction over American citizens who commit certain crimes by 2010:

"President Obama has dispatched a delegation this week to The Hague to explore issues involving the United States' possible participation in the International Criminal Court, an organization critics charge could be used to prosecute Americans under international legal standards for actions that are not crimes in the U.S. 

Additional explanation of how this could affect Americans:

"Supposing the U.S. engages in a military action and that action results in civilian casualties. We do an investigation of the matter and find no guilty party. If we are a member of the court, if we are a party to the Rome Statute, the ICC at that point has the opportunity to second-guess us," he said. "They may be able to use evidence and they may be able to pursue routes of trial that would not be portable in the U.S. because of the different standards established in the U.S. legal system and the rules set forth in the Rome Statute."

His warning is that the ICC could, "in essence … come and prosecute U.S. citizens, U.S. soldiers, U.S. officials for actions the U.S. deems entirely lawful." SOURCE

Yes the is the exact same treaty which former US President George W. Bush refused to sign - or in essence unsigned - for obvious reasons.

So there you have it - President Barack Hussein Obama is more than willing to toss US citizens under the ICC "bus" by placing Americans under the jurisdiction of the international court and thus preventing these citizens from accessing their Constitutional rights. 

But sitting securely on the top of the bus we find Obama - in full dhimmi mode and twisting himself in judicial pretzel knots - to ensure NON US citizens/ confessed muslim terrorists will be imported into the United States and given Constitutional rights and defenses even though doing so places actual US citizens lives at risk and will cost - the already financially strapped US taxpayers ---multi millions of dollars.

You couldn't make this up - nor would you want to. Sure as hell infuriates me!
 

Muslim Major Shouts 'Allahu Akbar' as he Massacres 13 soldiers Injures 38

*****UPDATE -11/7/09 -  The media and muslim apologists continue to dance around the truth of the Ft. Hood massacre. Many rushing to blame the military or Hasan's co-workers for his state of mind and subsequent murderous rampage.  Lame excuses such as Hasan was supposedly "harassed" by other military personnel don't hold water. Hasan was an officer - and anyone who had been in the military KNOWS that particularly officers do NOT get harassed. To do so would be the end of the offenders military career.

News comes that the man responsible for the massacre of 13 US Army soldiers, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, was shouting "Allahu Akbar"  as he opened fire on the unsuspecting men and women:

"Soldiers who witnessed the shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas that left 13 people dead reported that the gunman shouted "Allahu Akbar!" before opening fire, the base commander said Friday." SOURCE

Recall Allahu Akbar was also screamed by the 9/11 Al Qaeda terrorists as they plunged their airplanes into the twin towers of the World Trade Center killing 2993 innocent people.

This "devout muslim" was also under investigation by the FBI for statements made supporting muslims killing US soldiers:

"The army psychiatrist who shot dead 13 people in murderous rampage at America's biggest military base was facing an FBI investigation for expressing sympathy with suicide bombers....Hasan posted a series of comments on a website which drew parallels between terrorists and a US soldier who sacrificed himself to save his comrades. Investigators were tipped off six months ago by the devout Muslim's worried colleagues."SOURCE

Also extremely disturbing is a video, from the morning of the massacre, showing Hasan wearing a muslim white robe and cap:

"In the video, the individual believed to be Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan appears wearing clothes that would be abnormal for someone of Palestinian descent - Hasan's family is from Jordan. CBS News correspondent Sheila MacVicarreports that the man is wearing a shalwar kameez - long robes far more common in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

He is also wearing white, which in Islam is associated with death or mourning. The prayer cap on his head is also more closely associated with Southeast Asia than with the Arab world." SOURCE

Does the above look like an Army major to you??

This "devout muslim" - earned a six figure income after receiving his "free" psychologist's degree courtesy the USA taxpayers via the US Army:

Hasan, graduated from Virginia Tech in 1997 and earned a doctorate in psychiatry from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda. He spent at least six years at Walter Reed before moving to Fort Hood.  SOURCE

Has repaid those same taxpayers by killing and injuring their sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers.

More on Hasan:

On his blog is a link to an article "Martyrdom in Islam vs Suicide Bombing"

He was happy about the Muslim solider who shot and killed a soldier and wounded another at a Little Rock Military recruiting station. Hasan said Muslims should rise up against the aggressors. Maybe we should have more of these.....strapping bombs on and going into Times Square".

The officials had access to Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's military record. They said he received a poor performance evaluation while at Walter Reed. SOURCE

One has to wonder what psychological damage he has done while counseling soldiers returning from active duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The glaring question is why wasn't Hasan booted out of the Army - and instead was promoted and assigned to Fort Hood?  Was it due to the insidious Political Correctness and fear of the Army being labeled "Islamophobic"? The ongoing investigation will shed light on this - but sadly far too late for those who had their lives snuffed out by a supposedly "Lone Wolf"  terrorist.

This cold blooded military Jihadist needs to face severe punishment for his heinous mass murders - let's hope it is death............and he's shouted his last "Allahu Akbar".

************UPDATE -11/7/09 -  Muslim apologists and the lefty mainstream media continue to try to spin Islam out of and dance around the truth of the Ft. Hood massacre. Many are rushing to blame the military or Hasan's co-workers for his state of mind and subsequent murderous rampage.  Lame excuses such as Hasan was supposedly "harassed" by other military personnel don't hold water. Hasan was an officer - and anyone who had been in the military KNOWS that particularly officers do NOT get harassed. To do so would be the end of the offenders military career.

Another hyped up explanation for Hasan is that he feared going to Afghanistan and being in active combat with fellow muslims - again the ludicrousness is obvious. Medical officers - particularly psychiatrists - are not and do not get sent into battle thus Hasan's supposed worries were unfounded. 

 

As shown above -Hasan is not the victim -  outrageous behaviors were primarily one way - inflicted by Hasan onto the soldiers around him. Since I wrote this blog other information has been revealed such as Army Major Hasan stating he viewed himself as "a Muslim first and an American second." and got into frequent arguments with fellow soldiers "who supported the (Iraq & Afghanistan) wars". A recent classmate said Hasan once gave a jarring presentation to students in which he argued the war on terrorism was a war against Islam, and “made himself a lightning rod” when he felt his religious beliefs were challenged". 

 

Hasan also "attended the controversial Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, in 2001 at the same time as two of the September 11 terrorists.....His mother's funeral was held there in May that year. The preacher at the time was Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born Yemeni scholar who was banned from addressing a meeting in London by video link in August because he is accused of supporting attacks on British troops and backing terrorist organisations.

Hasan's eyes "lit up" when he mentioned his deep respect for al-Awlaki's teachings, according to a fellow Muslim officer at the Fort Hood base in Texas, the scene of Thursday's horrific shooting spree. As investigators look at Hasan's motives and mindset, his attendance at the mosque could be an important piece of the 'jigsaw'" SOURCE

 

Recent records also show Hasan privately bought the FN 5.7  (aka 'Cop Killer") gun along with an older model Smith & Wesson .357-caliber revolver, at store called "Guns Galore" in Killeen, Texas. The morning of the massacre he gave away many of his possessions to his neighbors- including passing out copies of the Qu'ran.

 

Clearly Hasan agreed with the statements of a muslim man identified only as Mustafa - interviewed Friday at one of London's largest mosques: "Asked his views on the killings at Fort Hood, he said: “Killing military members is all right. If you are killing people who are fighting against Muslims then that’s okay.”  SOURCE

 

Hasan's cowardly, murderous attack on his unsuspecting fellow soldiers was planned & calculated in advance.

 

Time to stop the dhimwitted excuses and call this horror what it is - Islamic Terror.

Hassan also served on President Barack Obama's White House transition team:

NEW YORK - Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the alleged shooter in yesterday's massacre at Fort Hood, played a homeland security advisory role in President Barack Obama's transition into the White House according to a key university policy institute document...... Hasan is listed on page 29 of the document as a Task Force Event Participant   SOURCE
