Christianity, Islam And The Fort Hood Shooter

Wow. I suppose that I shouldn't be surprised by The American Family Association's Director of Issues Analysis... analysis:

It it is time, I suggest, to stop the practice of allowing Muslims to serve in the U.S. military. The reason is simple: the more devout a Muslim is, the more of a threat he is to national security. Devout Muslims, who accept the teachings of the Prophet as divinely inspired, believe it is their duty to kill infidels. Yesterday’s massacre is living proof. And yesterday’s incident is not the first fragging incident involving a Muslim taking out his fellow U.S. soldiers.

Of course, most U.S. Muslims don’t shoot up their fellow soldiers. Fine. As soon as Muslims give us a foolproof way to identify their jihadis from their moderates, we’ll go back to allowing them to serve. You tell us who the ones are that we have to worry about, prove you’re right, and Muslims can once again serve. Until that day comes, we simply cannot afford the risk. You invent a jihadi-detector that works every time it’s used, and we’ll welcome you back with open arms.

This is not Islamophobia, it is Islamo-realism.

And don’t give us reassurances about the oaths that Muslim soldiers take to protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Hasan took that oath, and it proved meaningless. In fact, the more devout a Muslim is, the more likely he is to lie to you through his teeth, since lying to the infidel to advance the cause of Islam is commended, not just permitted, in the Koran.

It’s time we all got over the nonsense that all cultures and religions are equally valid or worthy. They most certainly are not. While Christianity is a religion of peace, founded by the Prince of Peace, Islam is a religion of war and violence, founded by a man who routinely chopped the heads off his enemies, had sex with nine-year old girls, and made his wealth plundering merchant caravans.

And just as Christians are taught to imitate the life of Christ, so Muslims are taught to imitate the Prophet in all things. Yesterday, Nidal Malik Hasan was simply being a good Muslim.

The head nod goes to Doug Mataconis (again), who adds two shiny pennies to what Bryan Fischer said:

Of course, Fischer is conveniently forgetting events such as the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the persecutions of Spanish Jews which eventually led to their forced removal from the country, the persecution and forced removal of Jews in England, witch trials, forced conversions, the murder of religious dissenters, and millennia of condoning human slavery.

Mr. Fischer, if you want to prevent people who are adherents of religions with a history of violence from serving in the American military, then you’ll have to add Christians to your list. Come to think of it, we may end up with an army full of atheists and agnostics before we’re done if you follow your logic.

Indeed. Now, it's only a matter of time before rhetoric like the AFA's will get someone hurt. Muslim or Christian, it does not matter: this will continue to get worse before it gets better.
