I have not posted in over a week.  Unlike my last announcement that I was back, I had to leave again.  My sugar became unstable, and I was unaware of it, as I got sick like a stomach flu, until one of my medical friends suggested that I test my sugar (I do not do it every day. Because my diabetes has been controlled so well, that I do not even think about it).  It was my sugar, do to my lack of medication for about two weeks.  I borrowed some medication from my pharmacist and will be getting the rest later this week-end.  Thank you for your prayers.

Today is not a Bible or Theological Blog.  My mind, as the nation has been overwhelmed by the tragedy at Fort Hood, Tx.  Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan has captured the attention of the nation.  I, like many others, are appalled at the situation that unfolded in Texas yesterday.  This smells of Bureaucratic Blindness.  We have all heard of Officers that have been falling down in proficiencies being shipped to war zones.  However, with his well known extremist views, shipping him to the  War Zone in the Middle-East, adds credibility to the old joke that Military Intelligence is a conflict in terms.  During World War II, we allowed ethnic groups to fight, but for the most part they were in theaters that did not put them in a position of having to choose between their heritage and the Allied War Effort.  The War on Terror (not politically correct), is so rife with these conflicts for most Muslims, it is terrible to put them in this position.  However, many Muslims can serve in the War on Terror (not politically correct),  honorably because they can understand the difference in their faith and the extremist element of Islam.

The last paragraph lays out the problem that should be recognized by the Military.  However, with Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, his postings on the Internet and his comments amount other officers should have shown he had problems with the War on Terror (not politically correct).  This is not even considering his bad proficiency reports. 

Like Islam, the whole Religion is not of this mind-set, the Military is not this stupid.  We have the best Military in the World.  But a small group of non-thinking, ready to retire, fat a____, pardon my french, Senior Staff apparently dropped the ball. 

Most American Islamists abhor what happened in Texas, yesterday.  We can not indict both Islam and the Military as a whole.  But hopefully those with the authority and the American Islamic community can work together to see this never happens again.
