39. Ugh... I had the exact same argument...
... with the OP in that thread. You can't make a thread titled "We created the socalled terrorist", make a whole list of reasons why he was pushed to kill by society, not even hint at the idea that Hasan is responsible for his own actions, and then claim that you aren't making excuses for him. It's an insult to everyone's intelligence.

Yes, I am saying that young Muslim men in the US have not been treated bad enough by society at large that it would warrant or excuse mass murder or any acts of terrorism. I am further saying that if radical Islamic views played a direct role in Hasan's murder spree we should shy away from calling him a terrorist out of PC fear.
