A religion of PEACE.............my ass

That’s already started.

They are saying the guy was stressed out because he was picked on for being a Muslim.

I sincerely fear that this will lead to MORE PC bullcrap than less.

Less is what we need.

It needs to be stated plainly - Muslims in the US Military are a SECURITY BREECH.

What part of “Jihad” don’t these people understand.

I watched Sen Bailey-Hutchinson look very uncomfortable and would not say this man’s name.

I am sick and tired of walking on eggshells to avoid offending Muslims!!!!!

[livius]

I read elsewhere that the “difficulties” were that he kept preaching Islam to his patients and trying to get them to convert. He was known for preaching at work and apparently distributed Korans the morning that he went off to shoot up the post.

Another of the injured was Private Keara Bono, 21. In a desperate phone call to her husband, she said: ‘They shot me. And I’m still here in this country.’

AMEN!

"An imam from a mosque Hasan regularly attended said Hasan, a lifelong Muslim, was a committed soldier, gave no sign of extremist beliefs and regularly wore his uniform at prayers."

I don't know what everyone else is thinking, but I believe that the two Acorn filmakers need to adopt hokey Arab garb and get into these mosques and start filming. This clowns mosque would be a good first start for the film.

Like we're going to trust anything an imam from his mosque is going to say. Sure, this guy was a wonderful guy and I'm shocked that he would do this. Would we expect his imam to say anything else?

It is a "catch 22" that we need people in the military who read and speak fluent Arabic and understand the cultures intimately, yet many of them are ticking bombs.

Even if we managed to train a thousand infidels in fluent Arabic, they wouldn't understand the subtleties of the cultures. So we need them, but I don't trust them.

As with other religions, one's duty to Allah is supreme, superseding any oath or allegiance. And there's that martyr orgy thing. Ticking bombs.

Why are we translating?

We should have nuked these idiots years ago and be done with it.

[nascarnation]

I agree

‘They shot me. And I’m still here in this country.’

My God, does that speak volumes!!!

Self-moderating my comments is becoming a very hard task.

[Lazamataz]

Yet National Pubic Radio says we are Islamophobic if we assume he’s a Muslim.

"He was known for preaching at work and apparently distributed Korans the morning that he went off to shoot up the post."

I'd take one. I can always use new paper targets to go out shooting with at my sportsmens club.

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

Actually,my G-d is greater than theirs. G-d blesses those who bless Israel and curses those who curse Israel. Look out,Muslims! G-d promised the Jews He would protect us!

[ecomcon]

Note to Obama and all others confused about why there is (was) a WAR ON TERROR:

‘They shot me. And I’m still here in this country.’

FUBO

[Republic of Texas]

Just because he yelled Allah Akbar and shot people, we should not assume he’s a Muslim.

The beautiful thing about it is, no one would recognize them. She would be covered from head to toe in Arab garb and he'd be wearing a beard and turban and all covered up. As famous as they are now, they'd still be undercover...

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

I’m dying to hear the answer to this question!

[NavyCanDo]

The news media keeps going back to the Shep Smith interview with the guys cousin, where he claims that he was harassed by other soldiers. Which as we would expect, is the media spin for what may have triggered him.
If this guy held to the beliefs he had, and was as vocal about it as it seems, I would sure as Hell hope he was harassed.

[mnehring]

After he gets a chance to visit with a couple of our intelligence guys to see what his connections are, then he is thrown into a cell with a 400 pound guy named Tinkerbell who thinks he is cute, he will be shouting Allah FUBAR.
