Fort Hood jihad shooter whines he was prevented from praying Qur’an with his brother

A mindset that should not be rewarded or reinforced after he murdered thirteen people because of it


The worst part of this is not even the flagrant attempt to claim victim status for this vile killer, although that is spectacularly bad enough.

The worst part is that the Qur'an is what drove him to commit these crimes in the first place -- as he himself bore witness in his infamous Power Point presentation and by passing out Qur'ans on the morning of the massacre -- and yet his claim here will be treated as a simple rights issue, with his "right" to pray and recite Qur'an restored in haste. No one will mention, or even consider, the possibility that to do this is reinforce his jihadist mindset -- a mindset that should not be rewarded or reinforced after he murdered thirteen people because of it.
