The epitome of cowardice...

I wonder how many people have considered how successful the September 11, 2001 islamic attacks were. Think about what they accomplished. They thrust islam to the center of the world, they undoubtedly caused more people to learn about islam than would have prior to their attacks. And the attacks combined with the near non-response of the U.S. doubtlessly gained converts. Furthermore, what response the United States did produce resulted in the establishment, enrichment, and training of the officially muslim nations of Iraq and Afghanistan, and the enrichment and training of countless other muslim nations around the globe. Islam now stands better suited than ever to wage jihad across the world. The September 11 attacks also resulted in muslims being portrayed as victims around the world and helped advance their jihad even as muslims further vilified America, and Western values. And finally the crowning achievement of the September 11 islamic attacks, nine years after New York is to have a triumphal mosque at Ground Zero. This is stunning. It is bizarre. It is incomprehensible. Yet it is our nightmarish reality. The islamic attacks on September 11, 2001 achieved success beyond the wildest dreams of the Religion of Peace...

In a controversial change to a longstanding policy concerning the practice of female circumcision in some African and Asian cultures, the American Academy of Pediatrics is suggesting that American doctors be given permission to perform a ceremonial pinprick or “nick” on girls from these cultures if it would keep their families from sending them overseas for the full circumcision.

In the wake of a mass shooting by a military psychiatrist, the Army's top doctor acknowledged his service needs to improve how it manages medical officers, including using more candor in reviewing their officers' performance, but Lt. Gen. Eric Schoomaker, the Army surgeon general, told USA TODAY there's no evidence his staff "could have predicted" that Maj. Nidal Hasan, the man accused of killing 13 people at Fort Hood in Texas, "could have become a mass murderer."

In the 12 years that Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, was trained and promoted to major, he may not have been "an ideal clinician, not an ideal professional soldier," Schoomaker said, but, "I don't see anywhere in there, and no one has ever intimated that we should have been able to see from what we saw that this man would have become the alleged mass murderer that he is or is accused of being."

Last week, Defense Secretary Robert Gates released the findings of an independent review of the shooting conducted by former Army secretary Togo West and retired admiral Vern Clark. It recommends reviewing officer standards used by medical supervisors in Hasan's case -- "Some signs were clearly missed; others ignored," the review concludes, urging that officers who supervised Hasan be held accountable. Gates directed Army Secretary John McHugh to act on the recommendations.

Well, there you go. There's "no evidence" anyone could have predicted that Maj. Nidal Hasan could have become a mass murderer. The Army will do a formal review and produce an update to their standards.

"We are jihadists, and jihad is not terrorism"

Until we recognize the true, almost indescribable depravity of this foe, close its mosques and medrassas and deport these peddlers of hate and murder, we will invite an ever widening community of vermin whose goal it is to preside over our demise.

We must, in the midst of hardship, choose to focus on vision and destiny, rather than on hopelessness and fear. We must decide to connect with that which is noble and courageous in our people, and distance ourselves from the cowardly, self-serving actions of those who claim to be our leadership...
