Shock: Dept. of Defense Vindicates Fort Hood Killer

U.S. Army tacitly endorses a religiously bigoted position: it is fine for Muslim service members to kill non-Muslims, but killing Muslims is grounds for an honorable discharge.

A shocking decision made by the secretary of the Army last month — in the case of an U.S. Army soldier with the 101st Airborne at Fort Campbell who refused to deploy to Afghanistan claiming that Islamic law prevented him from killing other Muslims — vindicates Fort Hood killer Major Nidal Hasan. He made identical claims and threatened that “adverse events” would occur if military officials didn’t accede to shariah principles.

The subject of the Fort Campbell case is PFC Nasser Abdo, who was granted conscientious objector status last month, only to be brought up on charges last week — two days after being informed of the secretary of the Army’s decision — after child pornography was found on his government-issued computer. The news reports about Abdo’s arrest were the first to mention the Army recognizing him as a conscientious objector. After his arrest, Abdo is now claiming that the child porn charges are the Army’s way of retaliating against him.

Abdo’s case has been championed by a number of media outlets, including Al-Jazeera and CNN. According to the Associated Press, in his claim for conscientious objector status, Abdo cited a number of Islamic scholars and Koranic verses in his defense:

I realized through further reflection that God did not give legitimacy to the war in Afghanistan, Iraq or any war the U.S. Army would conceivably participate in.

Abdo told Al-Jazeera:

I don’t believe I can involve myself in an army that wages war against Muslims. I don’t believe I could sleep at night if I take part, in any way, in the killing of a Muslim.

He also told ABC News:

A Muslim is not allowed to participate in an Islamicly unjust war. Any Muslim who knows his religion or maybe takes into account what his religion says can find out very clearly why he should not participate in the U.S. military.

In a perverse twist, the ABC News report noted that a website dedicated to his cause operated by his friends claimed that Abdo:

… will be at danger of harassment and even death from his fellow soldiers, many of whom will be resentful of PFC Abdo’s religious beliefs and his desire to be discharged from the military.

No mention was made by ABC News of the potential of harassment and death for non-Muslim soldiers if Abdo wasn’t granted conscientious objector status, as was the case at Fort Hood with Major Nidal Hasan.

In Major Hasan’s case, the Washington Post reported just days after the Fort Hood massacre that he had warned his Army colleagues and supervisor at Walter Reed of “adverse events” if Muslims were not granted conscientious objector status. The warning occurred during a June 2007 Power Point presentation that was part of his psychiatric residency program. Major Hasan cited previous cases of Muslims murdering their fellow soldiers, spying against the U.S., deserting their units, and refusing to deploy as examples of the kinds of “adverse events” that would follow if the Army didn’t bow to the precepts of Islamic law.

Muslims kill fellow Muslims all the time in the Mid-East, it was a tactic of terror for the foreign fighters and insurgeants in Iraq and Afghanistan. And hello, does anyone remember the Iran/Iraq War, the Iraq/Kuwait War?

I don't see the link between Hasan the Consentious Objector, even remote. Although I dislike the Politically Correct Kid Gloves Hasan has been treated with, when it was clearly a self-styled terrorist attack with Islamic Rage as the motivation, I don't see how granting someone else Consentious Objector status vindicates that?

The C.O. argument is a bit weak, he probably shold have NOT gotten the status, as well, what kind of buffoon volunteers for the Military in the last 8 years if he has a problem with fighting against muslims, solely because of their religios status?

Yes, he was Muslim, but he never applied for, even talked about getting, C.O. status. He was kept in the rear because he shot his mouth off so much about pro-enemy, anti-American crap, they decided he couldn't be trusted in combat. Then he stole a grenade and thrrw it into the C.P. This happened years before Hasan, even before Hasan started training in the Army.

Wait, are you arguing that the Army gave the PFC C.O. status out of fear he would go Jihad on his fellow soldiers otherwise?

I've been assuming you meant, by giving the PFC C.O. status, they somehow made Hasan look less guilty and more justified in his unjustifiable, savage act.

If, you meant the former, I don't know how you can ever prove it. The fact they turned around and arrested him for child porn, sorta proves they weren't so fearful they'd cow-tow to his every whim.

Think about it, the guy, that has a problem fighting other Muslims, volunteered for the Military in the middle of two wars against overwhelmingly Muslim Countries, proves his intelligence once again, by using a government computer assigned just to him, to download and store child porn. We are talking a real genius here.

UPDATE:
The Soldier that is the Subject of this Article, PFC Nasser Abdo, went UA/Deserted and has been arrested outside Ft. Hood with materials to make explosive and after attempting to buy uniform items that could be used to disguise himself as Ft. Hood Soldier, in what looks like a plot to attack soldiers from Ft. Hood.

EmptyTimCup? Eerie, he choose to go to the same base that Hasan did his attack? I didn't see the link, but apparently he wanted to make good on his threat.
