A noted author and convert and reformer of Islam, Dr. Tawfik Hamid has stated that Shariah law teaches disrespect for non-Muslims' life. Why be surprised to hear that those who follow these teachings would commit barbaric acts against non-Muslims? He states "it is virtually impossible to stop people from linking violence to Islam unless violence in the name of Islam stops". The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) released a statement that "condemns in the strongest terms the attack on soldiers at Fort Hood, resulting in the murder of at least a dozen soldiers and the wounding of many others. We express our deepest condolences to the victims and their families".
More than ample evidence points to a behavior by Major Hasan that was at the least troublesome and became our worst nightmare. How many "red flags" needed to go up before authorities realized they had a problem? It is my opinion that this never should have happened. It is way past time to call for an end to this "political correctness", and more about protecting our military from radical acts in a troubled world.
