Nidal Hasan's PowerPoint: 'Whoever Desires a Religion Other Than Islam ... Shall Be One of the Losers'

There's a lot in the news today. President Obama has now delivered his memorial eulogy for the troops at Fort Hood. The transcript is here. I'll comment in detail on the speech later. Here I want to share Nidal Malik Hasan's PowerPoint presentation from his talk to senior doctors and staff at the Walter Reed Army Medical in 2007. The pdf document is here: "The Koranic World View As It Relates to Muslims in the U.S. Military." I've read the presentation from the Washington Post, "Hasan on Islam." Slides 46 and 47 caught my attention, although it's a striking lecture all around. It's hard to believe this event didn't set off more warning alarms. As one participant at the lecture noted at the time, "It was really strange .... The senior doctors looked really upset [at the end]."

Maybe it is the backlash of Political Correctness. Apparently, PC has silenced even the ranks of the military. Maybe no one knows wants to risk being passed over for promotion, or hauled in front of HR for attempting to draw the line when it appears a protected class has gone too far.
