Ft Hood Report Does Not Mention Islam or Koran

Marcia · Jan 27, 2010

According to this and other articles, the 86 page report on the Ft Hood shooting/murders does not use the words "Islam," "Koran," "jihad," or other such terms. I find that dismaying.

House Republicans were keen Wednesday to find out why a report titled “Protecting the Force: Lessons from Fort Hood” fails to discuss Islamic extremism as a possible motive for Maj. Nidal Hasan’s attack in November, which killed 13 and wounded 43.

Frustrated by the Department of Defense’s description of the Fort Hood rampage as an “incident” by an “alleged perpetrator,” several members of the House Armed Services Committee wondered if political correctness is besting common sense as the US tries to understand the nature and strategy of its enemies.

....Rep. Buck McKeon (R) of California on Wednesday called the report’s failure to mention Islamic extremism a “strange silence.” To 9/11 commission member John Lehman, the administration's position “shows you how deeply entrenched the values of political correctness have become,” he told Time magazine earlier this week.

Republican members of the House Armed Services Committee suggested that Americans are increasingly concerned that political correctness is undermining national security.

Also

...the Pentagon report on the Fort Hood massacre came out. It is 86 pages long and doesn't mention the words "Muslim," "Islam," "jihad," "Sharia" (Islamic law), "Koran" -- despite the fact that we know, among other things, that the killer, who initiated his massacre with a cry of "Allahu Akbar," was a Muslim inspired by Islam to perform an act of jihad as sanctioned by Sharia derived from the Koran.

makes me proud that in my country we can still call them moros, openly.
they (the moros) love it, too.
maybe they don't know the background of the word.
or political correctness hasn't caught up with the Filipinos.....yet... but it's getting there.

It was to be expected.

Agree with you, Marcia. It all sounds a bit politically correct, "don't upset the Muzzies" sort of thing.
