“infidels should have their throats cut”

Oh, lovely. Once again, leave it to the *non* American media to dig up the more important parts of the back-story. From the Telegraph (not, strangely, MSNBC):

Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the gunman who killed 13 at America’s Fort Hood military base, once gave a lecture to other doctors in which he said non-believers should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats.

He also told colleagues at America’s top military hospital that non-Muslims were infidels condemned to hell who should be set on fire. The outburst came during an hour-long talk Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, gave on the Koran in front of dozens of other doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Centre in Washington DC, where he worked for six years before arriving at Fort Hood in July.
…
Fellow doctors have recounted how they were repeatedly harangued by Hasan about religion and that he openly claimed to be a “Muslim first and American second.”

One Army doctor who knew him said a fear of appearing discriminatory against a Muslim soldier had stopped fellow officers from filing formal complaints.

It’s things like this, coupled with the Obamists incessant claims that opposition to socialism is racist, that lead me more and more to the conclusion that politcal correctness and those who promote it can go directly to Niflheim. A “fear of appearing discriminatory” seems to have prevented the Army from doing what it should have, long ago… showing this dumbass the door. Had he been given a dishonorable discharge immediately after this little speech, he would not have been in the position to murder 13 of what he should have seen as his fellow Americans.

If you are in the military and someone spouts treason like this… Turn His Ass In. If you get in trouble for it… go to the press.

Now my mood of levity seems to have slipped again.
