So the great beacon of democracy and equality' date=' America, should draw comparisons with Oman and Jordan (which BTW, are the wrong examples you picked in your vain attempt to emphasize a non existent argument).[/quote'] The "beacon" is perhaps dim, but it is still one of the brightest out there. The freedoms, democracy and equality that the US affords to peoples of all ethnicities are among the best. I would be blind if I said racism and xenophobia do not exist, but the real point is that they are not institutionalized. If anything, government and private institutions in this country bend backwards not to offend minority sentiments in fear of a backlash; which ironically may be the very reason the Major even got and kept a job, was promoted to a high rank, and was even decorated. If there indeed was racism, would he have been given this treatment?
He had been awarded the National Defense Service Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and the Army Service Ribbon, but was never deployed outside the United States.
While an intern at Walter Reed, Hasan had some "difficulties" that required counseling and extra supervision, said Dr. Thomas Grieger, who was the training director at the time. Grieger said privacy laws prevented him from going into details but noted that the problems had to do with Hasan's interactions with patients. He recalled Hasan as a "mostly very quiet" person who never spoke ill of the military or his country.

The easily-offended are better off working for the PC-police.

Have a look at this ma^**** mullah at a mosque in VA: Before his blog disappeared from the Web this week, Mr. Awlaki wrote that he approved of the shootings carried out by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist. In a widely quoted post published Monday under the headline “Nidal Hassan Did the Right Thing,” he said: Nidal Hassan is a hero. He is a man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people. This is a contradiction that many Muslims brush aside and just pretend that it doesn’t exist. more at: http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/13/blogging-imam-who-knew-fort-hood-attacker-and-911-hijacker-goes-silent/?hp
