I wonder the same, were you trying to say that racism = terrorism?

I think he's trying to say that racism is about leaping to judgment about someone based on presumptions about that person, not based upon facts.

The racism equation is about racing to a conclusion about Dr Hassan's motivation when all the facts are not in.

You may be 100% on target about Dr Hassan's motivations. Certainly, it seems his faith was a factor in those motivations. But we don't know all the facts yet about what happened here.

Making up your mind and closing it to any other possibilities is what racists do when they make judgments about people of other races. Making up your mind and then calling for the punishment you think appropriate, without allowing for new information is why racism and other forms of discrimination is a bad thing.

Free Speech Rights Prevented Probe Into Hasan E-Mails, Investigator Says


The claim comes as officials in different branches of law enforcement and the military squabble over who knew what when about Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's leanings toward faith-inspired violence, and as charges fly that 'political correctness' prevented officials from taking action and is still being used as a crutch in explaining the rampage after the fact.
Investigators would have been "crucified" over First Amendment rights if they had they launched a full-scale probe into e-mails Fort Hood massacre suspect Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan allegedly sent to a radical imam, a government investigator told Fox News.

The claim comes as the squabble grows among officials in different branches of law enforcement and the military over who knew what, and when, about Hasan's leanings toward faith-inspired violence, and amid charges that "political correctness" prevented officials from taking pre-emptive action.

The government counterterrorism investigator familiar with the FBI's review of the Fort Hood case told Fox News that they simply did not have enough evidence to launch an investigation. Though officials discovered Hasan's e-mails to the imam, the investigator said the messages suggested he was seeking "spiritual and religious guidance."

"Had we launched an investigation of Hasan we'd have been crucified," the investigator said, adding that the communications were shared with the "appropriate chains."
