WASHINGTON (AP) — The Army chief of staff says it's important for the country not to get caught up in speculation about the Muslim faith of the alleged Fort Hood gunman. Gen. George Casey says he's instructed his commanders to be on the lookout for that reaction to the killings at the Texas post. He says focusing on the Islamic roots of the suspected shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, could "heighten the backlash" against all Muslims in the military.
Casey says diversity in the military "gives us strength."
==============================
George Orwell had nothing on this guy.
This is my new slogan for the month: "Diversity gives us strength."
Hasan posted anti-American slogans on the internet; as an Army psychiatrist he counseled returning soldiers that they were wasting their lives in the middle east; he gave away all his belongings to friends and emptied his apartment; he ran into a theater filled with unarmed people, and shouting "Allahu Akbar!" he killed 13 and seriously wounded 30 more.
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then apparently the Army says it's a cow. A diverse cow.
Full Version: Diversity

People knew this guy was a ticking time bomb but where scared if they reported him they would be accused of discrimting aginast him because he was muslim. The world needs to be less PC and don't label people who are trying to do the right thing but choose not to so they don't get called a sexist racist etc.
