U.S. Army Sgt. Karim Iraq, who is charged with deserting the military, was released from Palm Beach County Jail this afternoon - two days after the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office arrested him at his father's house in Wellington.
Iraq's family is from Palestine, and Karim Iraq was born in Detroit.
His case has been referred to the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security.
"He's a dangerous guy with anti-American slogans and a deserter. It's someone we want to get off the street immediately," Richter said.
On handwritten notes on government-issued paper, he curses the military, freedom and the United States, including the words: "Die you know who you are!!!" The bottom of the page has an image of the Star of David in a circle with a line through it.

...He was not in Iraq because of WMD or democracy or any other damn reason...he was in Iraq because he volunteered to be a soldier and he serves where he is told...not where he wants or where he thinks he should be; that’s what we elect political leaders for.
His father says it not that he hates the US but “curses” the US government, “freedom” and the military on government stationary...no he does not hate America, he just does not “understand” America; another “confused” Muslim individual in the War on Terror, innocent in his emotions.
Maybe he was being discriminated in his own community for serving in the Army -- not by his fellow soldiers...why would a simple deserter have his case turned over to the FBI and DHS Homeland Security...hmmm.
Just hang him.
I hope I did not read the story correctly. It sounds like they just let him walk out of jail and hope that he gets himself back to Ft. Stewart on his own.
The army just can't seem to keep its hands on deserters these days. There probably needs to be a top-down shakeup at the Pentagon.
who's recruiting them-
and how and why are they being promoted ?
Hmmm, is this yet another "misunderstander of Islam" who forgets it's really a peaceful, benevolent and compassionate religion that respects "people of the book?"
Well, at least he hasn't fragged his commanders yet, like other "misunderstanders of islam" who follow the murderous examples of Muhammed (pork be upon him) himself...
Whats your preference, death by hanging or hang by the neck until dead?
just reading the posts on this forum, does anyone notice the bigotry existent in this country. there are no solid facts and no formal charges were presented for treason or anythin g else for the sort. karim iraq was allowed to go back to ft stewart on hi own accord. how's that for a hmmmmm?
that's a lot more violent than i've seen anything this muslim born has even mentioned.
they're being promoted just like every other soldier. by a board of reviewers that review miltary background, integrity, and physical standards. it's not an easy process. has anyone on this forum even done anything for their country? or as in this gentleman's case, TWICE.
Just a simple question, ... I was curious.
and all he did was vent on paper and it was found after it was stolen out of his car.
Iraq is a cuckoo. Send him back to Saudi Arabia.
It wasn't me, I just asked jocko12 by what method he wanted him hanged. I was curious to know if he wanted his neck snapped like a chicken or if he wanted a rope dance.
