In the wake of the Fort Hood murders in 2009, which has been called “workplace violence” by this administration, the Defense Science Board generated a study to help the military recognize violent behavior and the potential risks for another event, like Major Nidal Hasan’s. The Board has a keen eye for the obvious, well sometimes. From an Army Times<\/a> link sent to us by Chief Tango;<\/p>\n

The Defense Science Board report urges military officials not to ignore signs of religious radicalism that may be politically sensitive, and sought to debunk the notion that Islam is the only religion that fuels extremism.<\/p>\n

\u201cCovering over or ignoring radical religious belief as a potential factor will greatly handicap efforts to discover and divert individuals who are on a trajectory toward engaging in targeted violence,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile a number of cases involved radical Islam, there were examples involving Christianity, and the potential exists for radicalization to occur in the context of other religions as well.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, so which other religions have blasted away at a room full of unarmed people while chanting that “God is great”? The Amish? Buddists? What the report actually says<\/a> about the subject is;<\/p>\n

The Task Force reviewed case studies which indicated radical religious doctrines have played an important role in several high profile cases of targeted violence both within and outside the military. Violent actors were sometimes radicalized by association with other religious radicals and sometimes \u201cself-radicalized.\u201d While a number of cases involved radical Islam, there were examples involving Christianity, and the potential exists for radicalization to occur in the context of other religions as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There it ends. You’d think a study would have a footnote to an example or more fully explain this point, but it doesn’t. There is no more mention of the word Christianity in the entire document. You just have to take their word for it that a gang of Mormons are going to ride up on their 3-speed bicycles wearing those white Oxford shirts, take off their little helmets and wipe out a bunch of soldiers.<\/p>\n

The Army Times sums up;<\/p>\n

The study found \u201cno silver bullet\u201d to address the threat of workplace violence, and said predicting it is extremely difficult. Current scientific methods for predicting workplace violence, such as psychological or physiological testing, are unreliable, the study found.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks, Defense Science Board, for all you do. this report is nothing more than a distraction. Apparently, the whole point of the DSB’s study was to prove that they’re willing to throw themselves on the radical Islam grenade for the Pentagon.<\/p>\n

We know psychological testing wouldn’t have worked in the case of Hasan, since he was a psychiatrist. A silver bullet in that case would have been the Army getting over itself in regards to political correctness and putting Hasan out of the Army instead of carrying him along while he exuded Islamic radicalism. And, yes, I think they should throw out every radical Christian they come across, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
