Chris Matthews Is A Dangerous And Useful Idiot from Planck's Constant

This is an article that was intended for publication shortly after the Fort Hood Shooting but I shelved it until I could calm down - originally I asked for Chris Matthews to be put up against a wall and shot for aiding and abetting our enemies.

Sadly, our country is still too clueless to understand the threat posed by Islam and so it is unlikely that he will be convicted of those charges and executed as he should be. But I believe that will change after a few of our cities are nuked by Muslims. Then we will be able to take care of hate-mongers and Muslim apologists like Chris Matthews and give them what they deserve.

For now I will content myself with simply calling him a dangerous and useful idiot. Almost two years ago in my article One Bad Apple does Not a Jihad Make I noted that, according to Chris Matthews, we may never know if religion was a factor at the Fort Hood shooting.

But didn't Major Nidal Malik Hasan consider himself a Muslim first and an American second? Didn't he complain that the US was conducting a war against Islam? ¹

Didn't he attend sermons by Yemen-based terror instigator Anwar al-Awlaki ² who proclaimed that jihad against America is binding upon every able Muslim? Didn't they exchange numerous emails?

Didn't Hasan once give a lecture to other doctors in which he said non-believers should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats? ³

And finally, didn't he yell “Allahu Akbar” before opening fire and killing 13?

Call me silly, but don't all these add up to religion indeed being a factor in the shooting?

We may never know if religion was a factor at the Fort Hood shooting? Really? Oh, come now, Chris Matthews, you are such a consummate idiot.

You could be forgiven if that is all you were, an idiot. However, you are a useful idiot for the Muslim cause. That makes you a dangerous idiot as well.

LA Times, Retracing steps of suspected Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Malik Hasan
One of Hasan's classmates in the program said he doubted the man's commitment to the military.
"He told students, 'I'm a Muslim first and an American second,' " Dr. Val Finnell, now a lieutenant colonel at the Los Angeles Air Force Base, said in a telephone interview. "I really questioned his loyalty."

Finnell said he first became suspicious of Hasan shortly after the program began when Hasan gave a provocative presentation in an environmental health class.

Other students focused on topics including mold and water contamination. Hasan's project asked "whether the war on terror is a war against Islam," Finnell said.

CNN, Purported al-Awlaki message calls for jihad against U.S.
American-born Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki is calling for jihad against America, claiming "America is evil" in a new audio message obtained by CNN."With the American invasion of Iraq and continued U.S. aggression against Muslims, I could not reconcile between living in the U.S. and being a Muslim, and I eventually came to the conclusion that jihad against America is binding upon myself just as it is binding on every other Muslim," he says in the recording that runs more than 12 minutes.

UK Telegraoh, Fort Hood gunman had told US military colleagues that infidels should have their throats cut
Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the gunman who killed 13 at America's Fort Hood military base, once gave a lecture to other doctors in which he said non-believers should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats.
He also told colleagues at America's top military hospital that non-Muslims were infidels condemned to hell who should be set on fire. The outburst came during an hour-long talk Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, gave on the Koran in front of dozens of other doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Centre in Washington DC, where he worked for six years before arriving at Fort Hood in July.

Colleagues had expected a discussion on a medical issue but were instead given an extremist interpretation of the Koran, which Hasan appeared to believe.
