Talk-radio’s Boyles: ‘Political correctness’ to blame for Fort Hood
killings
Argues PC policies facilitated suspect's rise in the military; anti-
discrimination expert dispels myths surrounding suspect identifying as
Palestinian

Friday afternoon KHOW talk-radio host Peter Boyles, referring to the
shooting-spree murder of 12 soldiers and 1 civilian at Fort Hood in
Texas Thursday, proclaimed that Islam is at war with America.
Boyles also said the suspect in the shooting, a U.S. Army officer, had
benefited from “political correctness” in his military career and
should have been the subject of suspicion for writing that he was of
Palestinian descent at his mosque.

“The Bush administration on into the Obama administration continues to
say, ‘You know, we are not at war with Islam.’ Well, you know what? I
am convinced that Islam is at war with you,” Boyles said. “What is it
that you want to do? We have a president of this Christian nation, as
they say, saying that we are not at war with Islam. I think that Islam
is at war with us. I think that smart people know that.”
On Thursday 13 people were murdered and 31 others injured at Fort Hood
after a gunman opened fire. Suspect Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a military
psychiatrist and practicing Muslim, was shot multiple times. He is now
in custody.
Boyles, discussing the tragedy, told listeners that political
correctness facilitated Hasan’s rise in the military and his access to
weaponry. He also suggested that Hasan, who was born in Virginia, had
no business being in the U.S. military because he was Muslim.
“[We're] fighting Islamic terrorists without and within. This guy
[Hasan] had no business being in the service. He had no business being
in. I am sorry. I don’t care. Why is it that all of these people who
come here legally and illegally seem to have a problem identifying
with this country? I am sick and tired of it. This guy was a time bomb
waiting to happen for the good of Allah. Born in the United States of
America but puts himself down in nationality as Palestinian. Islam is
a religion but it is much more. It is a culture. It is a way of life…
“I am telling you today that political correctness has gone so far
that we allow a guy who openly had sympathies for the very people we
are at war with to be promoted to an officer in the military. Given
access to our troops. Access to weapons. Can you imagine a Nazi
sympathizer accepted in the United States Army in the second world
war. …”
Abed Ayoub, legal adviser to the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination
Committee, told the Colorado Independent that since news of the Fort
Hood shootings broke, his organization has been in “crisis mode”
monitoring and responding to tirades like Boyles’ as well as hate
speech and threats. ... (cont)
