" From the FOX News Sunday panel -- Hume Mara Liasson. Bill Kristol and you're Austin Powers and as I've said so often this is why this to a segment was invented -- I had to -- to welcome -- flat out of time you wanted to. Sometimes. Here's here's who was thing -- that I think that he's certainly correct that this does not appear to be connected to some al-Qaeda. Better al-Qaeda. Or other terrorist organization wasn't that wasn't. A massive plot of any. But from what we can tell about the man's motives he was he was -- these Islam sentiments they had been growing. And he -- he made this attack may may be nuts as well. But -- you gotta be a little -- it is to do allow these things -- terrorists do. But I think you know this is still act of terrorism. And this guy. For all outward signs is an Islamist therefore you get pretty quickly Islamist terrorism."
" The second you can't -- the people who are islamists believe in them. Doing this is okay as a matter of yeah. It is lines are okay if you're using -- different. Because the most important thing is to establish that and of course the president worked very hard to establish that the war on terror which doesn't use that -- exactly but is not a war on Islam. And I think that if Muslim cleric stand up to say that killing people is against Islam that would go a long way to separate people who. Murder and happen to also be."
" Most. Are different mindset in the mouse thing with too little thought experiment what if the shooter at Fort Hood -- You know -- Glenn -- watch seeing right wing Christian what with the mainstream media have done and you know his argument was mainstream media would've said. You know would have basically smeared christianity with it and said this is this and tolerance you know of christianity and my response -- was like if they did that that would be wrong. And it would be wrong also in this instance I think to say because the person is. Moslem that that necessarily. Mean maybe he thinks that that's -- let's give him -- from the same way. Christian they think they're supposed to blow up an abortion clinic but are not supposed to do and so I just let a lot of people are trying to tie this to. Like being -- Moslem. Leads us."
" And I think that women look at the kind Islamist movement. Is a splinter. Of -- overall phase of its membership. Participated in by by a violent. Minority. But it is an and it I wouldn't say it was confident about you know most -- Office at all nobody -- on whether it does say Joe Lieberman as he was leaving and we we were talking about those little bit -- you know -- I wish -- sat night I don't think it's talking. A school said he said we do a disservice to all of the thousands of of Muslims who served very -- In the military under senator and the great American citizens to sugar coat. The fact that this guy did what he did -- perhaps. Because of his twisted Islamic Jihad as."
" Beliefs you know this is -- took onto. Lost in falls church of which have a notorious. Violence -- imam who later left the country went back to Yemen there's -- London -- and it stayed in touch. With this person in the right now it has -- someone went to sort of white supremacist. Cell somewhere -- and expressed allegiance to that would not the military say wait a second. Citizens have a right to free speech but -- a major in the US military. You have attended this thing you have now expressed sentiments like that we're a little worried that you should not be. Expressing white supremacist sentiments in the military and if god -- this white supremacist then killed non whites in the military will be legitimate to say why was this not seen."
" in the military know about that and it well okay we know about somebody at. Walter Reed who didn't file a complaint but do we we don't know yet if the military knew about all these things and did well."
" I have to say that the fellow that Shepard Smith talked to on Friday who was a colonel who have been serving I believe in the psychiatric department at Fort Hood said that. This was no secret that he was very loudly talking about the war on terror being a war on Islam that he was very. Arguing with people and there were reports that he had been arguing at Walter Reed was -- this patients with strikes me is pretty extreme thing. About political beliefs against the US policy in it it in Iraq and Afghanistan so. And it doesn't seem to have been secret. -- That's going to be clearly at least one or many investigations of why these clues were. -- I mean bill he added I don't know anyone has more supportive of the Pentagon and military than you are do you relate. And -- I can ask you as a do you think it's possible to think it's likely. That think that that he was dealt with the in a softer more lenient standard because of the fact that they didn't want appear to be. Rooting out or going after an a Moslem. "
" Yes but -- also -- one thing I don't think -- would without -- if -- combat. Arms division the military -- I'd note the -- the medical services are treated differently understandably enough to recruit medics as the military. You're not gonna. -- with the same discipline frankly that infantry officers treated. I think that I'd I'm just imagining -- standards in the medical's. Services are much more relaxed about people expressing their opinions on having said that. To let this man become a major military I think there will be an investigation well. Thank you all panel. Well obviously stay on top of the story and check in with us on FOX News Sunday dot com throughout the week. For more on the situation for -- and we'll see you next."
