So beginith the rant:

So there was a shooting at a military fort in Texas. And unless you live under a rock and don't actually read any of the news blurbs from any of the popular web home pages (yahoo, msn, google) you'd know that it was perpetrated by a man who is of the Islamic faith.
Now, here's my problem. This man, who is of the Islamic faith, went bat @#($ and killed unarmed enlisted men and women. That is a fact. That is what happened. Turns out as well that he may have had ties to terrorist organizations as well, or became radicalized by teachings from a loon he heard preach.
But here's the problem all I'm hearing is how he was stressed and snapped. That he was under extreme stress and mental fatigue from hearing about other solders experiences over seas. This man's job was to help diagnose and council men and women dealing with combat stress. And the experts in the media are tying to play this off as the reason he went nuts and shot up a bunch of innocent people...
Does anyone else think this doesn't jive? If I were to just snap one day and start punching people while calling them hippies left and right would the media go, well he was always hearing other people's problems and that made him snap? No, they would say that this minister of a Christian church had gone nuts and starting beating people because his beliefs led him to that stage. Why would they say this about me? Because I'm white and Christian not protected under the umbrella of political correctness.
What's my point. Because someone is Islamic, with ties to radical teachings, does not mean that we should go out of the way to come up with excuses for them to do crazy crap. If a nut job Klan member beats a gay person its because they are a member of the Klan. If a nut job eco-koolaid-PETA person beats up a guy driving a hummer wearing a leather jacket its because they are a eco-koolaid-PETA hippie. And no one would have a problem with that. We would not try and humanize their problems as just a stress thing. So FOR CRAP'S SAKE call a spade a freaking spade. This nut job was into radical Islam, about to be shipped off to actually do some real fighting, and would have to probably kill radical Islamic people, at which point he killed people who were about to be shipped off to kill radical Islamic people.
He was not the victim here, the people he maimed and the families he destroyed they are victims. He's a Domer, a Manson, a McVay. He is to be loathed for his actions. No amount of psychobable can explain it. He passed up the chance to be considered a human when he became a monster, and should be punished accordingly.
"But Marshall, you're a Christian and you should know that Christians believe in forgiveness." And I do. I know vengeance is for the Lord which is why I don't believe his family should be gunned down as an example. But as for him. He should be forgiven, but punished. Forgiveness is in the heart. Stupidity would assume that a person who commits this kind of deed should not have to pay for his actions. I would assume no less for me if I were to commit a crime such as this.
So endith the Rant.

And a little follow up.
Just read the wording of this reporter a Samantha Gross From the Associated Press;
"The action against the Shiite Muslim mosques is sure to inflame relations between the U.S. government and American Muslims, many of whom are fearful of a backlash after last week's Fort Hood shooting rampage, blamed on a Muslim American major."
Re-read the last line... LEt it sink in. If you walk into a room and see a broken lamp and there is only one guy in the room you blame that guy. Sure, he may not have broken it but it looks like it, and a little invetigating could clear or convict him. Or you walk in a room with two guys and a broken lamp you can blame the one closest to the lamp, or the one who looks guilty. With a little investigation you can find out who is the real lamp killer.
But if you walk in and see a guy in a room smashing a lamp and you watch him do it and stop him from stomping it into dust. That is not blaming a man for breaking a lamp. See the difference.
This nut job is not being blamed, accused, or speculated about no, he was seen shooting people and was shot while shooting people to stop him. We are not blaming it on him HE FRIGG'N DID IT!!!
