Not even 24 hours after the shocking events unfolded at Fort Hood, the BBC in all their journalistic integrity, published an article entitled Shooting raises fears for Muslims in US Army.
Really? There is an increasing fear for Muslims in the Military? I am first to admit that I am not up on all the Euro style political correctness. But last I checked it is the non- muslims that should be afraid, very afraid. As Mark Steyn points out at NRO’s Corner blog, the score is 13 non muslims to 0 muslims. So…who should be afraid?
The BBC has been and probably always will be a liberal rag, but even for liberals this is pure insanity. There is a worldwide jihad at play right now, and the BBC is worried about hurting the feelings of a few muslims? I think that the US military allowing Muslims at all in their ranks speaks volumes, and that anybody who would question the freedom allowed one in our country is unparalled anywhere on earth couldn’t be farther off-base. Our men and women that serve our country in the military are this country’s pride and joy! There is no more sacred, or valued part of our society than the American soldier. Our military like everywhere has issues, and I am sure that there are isolated cases of discrimination against muslims, but rest assured on a whole these are limited and isolated. All over the world Muslim leaders everyday urge their converts to help in ridding the world of Israel, and the USA, but we are supposed to be careful to not hurt their feelings?
I am sick and tired of the Political Correctness that is nothing more than a tool used by the left to shut up any and all opponents. The tragedy that occurred yesterday is one that I hope we never see again, but until we start taking people at their word, I am afraid this may be a scene we see again – God Forbid!
God Bless our troops, and God Bless America, because without His blessing we are lost already!
