-Fellow Muslim won't condemn Nidal Malik Hasan; has "no pity" for Fort Hood victims

The BBC's Gavin Lee paid a little visit to the Islamic mosque that Fort Hood shooter Major Nidal Malik Hasan frequented, and here is what "Duane"had to say on the matter. Prepare to be shocked. Or not if you're as jaded as we are.



Here's the transcript:

Duane: I’m not going to condemn him for what he did. I don’t know why he did it. I will not, absolutely not, condemn him for what he had done though. If he had done it for selfish reasons I still will not condemn him. He’s my brother in the end. I will never condemn him.

Lee: There might be a lot of people shocked to hear you say that.

Duane: Well, that’s the way it is. I don’t speak for the community here but me personally I will not condemn him.

Lee: What are your thoughts towards those that were victims in this?

Duane: They were, in the end, they were troops who were going to Afghanistan and Iraq to kill Muslims. I honestly have no pity for them. It’s just like the majority of the people that will hear this, after five or six minutes they’ll be shocked, after that they’ll forget about them and go on their day.

-Guest Post: The State of the Nation

I am officially disgusted with what are country is becoming.

A man from Home Depot was fired for wearing a pin that said “God Bless America.” Now how is that so offensive to atheists and liberals that this man had to be fired? Did he really impose his religious views so predominantly that it insulted shoppers? This is similar to the woman who was told to remove her American Flag from her window when her son was serving overseas. Why do we persecute those who are just living out their lives as Christians or as patriots?

Christians are the most persecuted people in our country today. It is not the Muslims or the Jews. Why is it that stores can’t say “Merry Christmas” or sell “Christmas Trees.” I am fed up with these liberals and I will not have my freedoms oppressed because they are afraid that it might offend some Muslim or atheist. They have the freedom to do, say and protest anything there heart desires, but when a conservative or Christian expresses their beliefs they are instantly ridiculed and attacked for simply expressing a different view. I am not insensitive to others views, I just have an opinion of my own.

It comes down to the double standard and political correctness our society has today.

A lady can’t hang a flag to show support for her country and son, but anti-war liberals can protest at soldier’s funerals and show truly hateful signs.

A man can’t wear a pin that says “God Bless America”, but atheists can hang posters all over New York City saying “A million New Yorkers Do Fine without God…Are You.”

One that I find very disrespectful are the posters that say “What goes around comes around.” Why is okay for these people to blatantly disrespect the men and women who put their lives on the line day in and day out for them just to be ridiculed by the people they are protecting?

This is the country we live in today….and I am disgusted.

I will not shy away from my faith or my conservative beliefs because it might offend some liberal, atheist, or Muslim. They offend me, my fellow Marines, and my country every day with hate speech and protests of their own. I will not stand for this double standard any longer.

GOD BLESS AMERICA. GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS. GOD BLESS OUR FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM AND RADICAL ISLAM.
