Terrorism - the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear.
This is the definition of terrorism
found online. Everyone is familiar with the terrorist attack at Ft. Hood Texas. Even though nobody in the media is calling it "terrorism", that is exactly what is was. We as a society are so frightened of offending someone that we are unwilling to protect ourselves and unwilling to call a spade a spade. This piece of human garbage called Nidal Malik Hasan had been exchanging email with radical Al-Qaeda affiliated imams in mosques in the US and in the middle east. He was regularly posting on Islamic extremist web sites and speaking out against US and coalition forces to his colleagues in the US Army. His fellow soldiers actually complained about his comments and extremist ideology he frequently spewed. The
NSA,
FBI and
DIA all knew he was interacting with extremist elements and didn't really do anythign about it.

This guy was a coward and a loser. The only reason he was even at the rank he was had more to do with his race and religion than his actual performance, commitment and job abilities. This guy was undoubtedly promoted because of the affirmative action, diversity focused, politically correct psycho-babble mindset that has infected all branches of the US Armed forces. The Politically Correct gang in the media refuses to call his actions "terrorism" and instead invents lame and pathetic excuses for his behavior. His cowardly cousin spoke on Fox News claiming he had been "discriminated against" and that he was really "a great American". I guess murdering unarmed people in a dark theater while yelling "God is Great" in Arabic constitutes being "a great American" by the standards set by the liberal media in our country. First of all, this guy was a loser and a coward. By all reports he was a poor soldier in all of his duties and was only promoted because of the diversity minded policies and mindset in the officer corps of the US Army. Second point. He planned out his actions and intentionally sought to kill unarmed people. He did this to try and frighten America, it's soldiers and embolden the enemy.
Now the media is saying he probably suffered from "Pre-Traumatic Stress disorder". There is no such thing. This coward never saw combat, had never been deployed anywhere in a combat zone and flunked all of his marksman qualifications and had not fired a weapon in a few years. Hey Liberal media, quit making excuses for this loser. Hey
UCMJ, convict this coward and put him in front of a firing squad. We will have a party at my house to celebrate. Anyone and everyone is welcome. We will be wearing combat fatigues and watching
Alladin to celebrate. I will personally giggle as this monster is sent to
Jahannam [ the lowest plain of hell defined in the Koran].
