Never Ask a Muslim to Kill his Fellow Muslims

The way that Maj. Nidal Hassan claimed that angst over the possibility of having to kill his “fellow Muslims” forced him to kill his "fellow" soldiers is absolutely heart-rending.  I can only imagine the pain he must have felt at the horrifying idea of being forced to inflict violence upon “fellow” devotees of “The Prophet”.  The agony he must have felt in going through with the obviously difficult decision to gun down his defenseless "fellow" soldiers in cold blood is inconceivable.  That same traumatic dilemma plagued Sgt. Hasan Akbar, a Muslim convert who in 2003 fragged commanding officers at a military camp in Kuwait, killing two and wounding 15 others.  Akbar said at the time he did it out of loyalty to the ummah, the international community of Muslims.


Unfortunately for Hassan's and Akbar's “fellow Muslims” currently living in Iraq, Afghanistan, and several other ‘Muslim’ countries, their “fellow Muslims” living in the same country do not suffer from the same moral compunction.  Hardly a week goes by that the AP does not break at least one story of another Muslim suicide bomber in Iraq or Afghanistan who blew himself up in the local market square.  And oddly enough, all, or nearly all of the victims are “fellow Muslims”, rather than we beastly American infidels.


Additionally, it has come to my attention that Muslims also somehow manage put aside their loathing to harm other Muslims when those other Muslims happen to be female.  Clearly, putting the word “honor” in front of “murder” makes driving a car over “fellow Muslims”, pummeling them to death with rocks, or hacking their heads off with a scimitar in the public square far more palatable to Muslims.  And if they just want to teach their women a lesson, rather than killing them, there are other methods (Warning, Graphic Images).  Although there are no statistics to back me up, I would not be surprised to find that more Muslim women had been killed by their “fellow Muslim” fellows, than by US military operations. 



In fact, over the last several months, more Muslims in Iraq have been killed by Iraqi Muslims than by Americans.  Hey, we may be on to something here.  Maybe we should listen to Obama and just "get out of the way".  We would probably win the war far more quickly and cheaply if we simply let the Muslims kill each other.  Maybe we could even convince them to fly an airplane or two into their own buildings for a change.



So why are Muslims so selective in their squeamishness?  It appears that Muslims are only hesitant to kill “fellow Muslims” when the Muslims doing the killing are not getting their marching orders from a lunatic in a turban.  Or perhaps it is a proximity issue.  It is acceptable for a Muslim to kill a Muslim if they are neighbors, but it is not kosher for a Muslim to kill a Muslim in another country who killed the first Muslim’s neighbors, who may or may not have been Muslim as well.  So never ask a Muslim to kill his fellow Muslims.  They are perfectly willing to do it without your prompting.
