Fort Hood Jihadi Massacre Still Unresolved One Year Later
*** SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATES ***
Via Connie Hair:
Fort Hood terrorist Nidal Hasan killed 14 Americans one year ago today.Rep. John Carter (R.-Texas), the House Republican Conference Secretary, warns that the politically correct atmosphere that long protected Hasan from exposure still permeates the military.
From Carter’s office today:
America should pause to remember those killed and wounded one year ago in the terror attack on Fort Hood, and recognize that sacrifice with a renewed commitment to assist and honor the casualties and their families, and to prevent similar future attacks, according to Congressman John Carter, who represents the Fort Hood area in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Carter, who is also Co-Chairman of the House Army Caucus and Secretary of the House Republican Conference, says the ongoing trial of Major Nidal Hasan for the Fort Hood shootings one year ago is just one of many issues still not resolved. The victims have still not received the treatment and status they deserve, the military has not acknowledged the nature and causes of the attack, and there is numerous security improvements still needed to prevent future attacks.
Carter says radical Islamic terrorism has still not been acknowledged as the cause of the Fort Hood shootings which left 14 Americans dead, and the Department of Defense must not allow political correctness to continue to skew its policies on force protection.
“It has been a year since the terror attack on Fort Hood, and DOD still refuses to even use the words ‘radical Islam’ in their report on the attack or recommendations on how to prevent future attacks,” says Carter. “That does not instill confidence in Congress that DOD is taking the necessary steps to protect our troops.”
Carter, a former Texas judge, has introduced legislation authorizing the same status for Fort Hood victims as that awarded casualties of the 9-11 attack on the Pentagon, and granting whistleblower protections to military and civilian personnel who report potential threats from radical Islamic sympathizers.
Before he shouted “Allahu Akbar!” while shooting his fellow soldiers, there was plenty of suspicious behavior exhibited by Hasan. But it was ignored by officials who feared being labeled “Islamophobic.” So 14 Americans died last year in the name of Islam and political correctness.
As long as our government cowers behind convenient terminology and refuses to condemn radical Islam by name, the American death toll will continue. Never forget the ongoing horrors being carried out by jihadists who take advantage of our tolerance and complacency to spread their hateful doctrines by force and intimidation. NEVER submit to Islamic supremacism!
