People are talking about "Muslim condemnation this" ...muslim condemnation that... but imo it appears people see this an a "Muslim problem". It isn't. It is a societal problem. EVERYONE needs to condemn these types of crimes... not just muslims. This was not a "MUSLIM CRIME"... Not praying in the direction of Mecca... eating pork... not washing your feet a gadzillion times a day... THOSE are muslim crimes. This was a crime committed by a nutbag who happened to be muslim.
This isn't a societal problem. These attacks ARE condemned by everyone and their mother in civilized society. However, in Muslim society, they aren't. "Moderate" Muslims will not speak up against the extremists and that's why they've pretty much had free reign to run wild across the Middle East and western Asia killing and blowing up whoever the fuck they want. Until these so-called moderates stand up and fight back against this supposed "bad" islam, it will continue.
This guy was in contact with Anwar al-Awlaki, a guy who was a "moderate" after 9/11 until he left the country. Then he ended up in Yemen where he started preaching violence against Americans and has been in contact with a number of terrorists.
One of the wonderful things al-Awlaki had to say about Nidal was “The only way a Muslim could Islamically justify serving as a soldier in the U.S. Army is if his intention is to follow the footsteps of men like Nidal.”
Get the fuck out of here your "societal" bullshit. This is a fucking Muslim problem. It's ridiculous that this religion is completely indemnified by apologists like you. These guys could detonate a nuke in London, kill 500,000 people and you would find a way to justify it and blame it on the English.
