USA interogators need unload his brain of alQueda memory and send his body to Ft. Leavenworth forever. US grade A prime for his cellmates. Islamic paradise on earth.

BRILLIANT TEEN SCHOOLED HIMSELF IN ISLAM

...joined the Taliban, got trained at an Osama bin Laden camp, fought against the U.S. and Northen Alliance, got caught, got thrown into prison, and managed to escape getting killed in the prison uprising. I guess he really wasn't that brilliant, just lucky in the last instance.

>>>>Both John's father, Frank Lindh, a strict Irish Catholic, and his mother, Marilyn Walker, a Buddhist, were supportive of their son's new faith. The parents had moved from Washington to California when their son, whom they named after John Lennon, was 10, and had brought up their three kids to have open minds. So when Walker told them he wanted to travel to Yemen to learn Arabic after getting his school certificate, they helped him financially.

Several things in the above paragraph struck me. I have watched the footage of John a couple of times and it is not difficult to discern that this young man is possessed. His comrades who bit Mike Spann to death and skinned the three reporters (and many other atrocious acts committed) all point to demon possession - all Satanic behavior!

"He's devoted to this religious conversion to Islam, but to me, he was always the same kid."

This doesn't exactly fit too well with the propaganda put out that Islam is a peaceful religion or that Islam. Even a US born and raised boy who converts to Islam supports the killing of 6000 innocent Americans and supports terrorists. It seems like there is actually a very strong link between Islam and terrorism. There is something in that Koran that isn't very good.

[Fred Mertz]

I don't watch much TV. What makes you think little John-John is possessed? Seriously, I'd like to know what makes you come to that conclusion. Thanks.

[MissAmericanPie]

His parents raised him to have such an open mind that he bent over and his brains fell out. What a strange family.

[RooRoobird14]

The same media dimwits calling this kid "brilliant" said the Unabomber was a "tragic genius."

[Osinski]

Interesting story...conflict between religion and country.

[RedWing9]

Beat me to it BUMP!

[Lorraine]

Good grief, I hope we aren't going to be subjected to hours of these whining parents on all the talking head shows. The kid is a goner. He made his bad choices. I plan on changing the channel everytime these losers get airtime.

If pops were a strict RC he wouldn't #1. be getting a divorce, and #.2 be married to a buddist, and #3. have allowed a sixteen year old to pursue a heretical faith. What a crock! V's wife.

Lindh asked the public "to have mercy" on his son, who he said never told the family he'd joined the Taliban. Asked about his son's statements defending the murderous attacks on America...

I say we give John Walker the same kind of mercy he gave to the 3000+ victims who died a horrible death in the WTC and the Pentagon. John Walker fully supports that act of mass murder, he has plainly stated that fact! I say we the people of the United States of America give the same mercy to the traitor, John Walker that he gave to the two fatherless children of Johnny Mike Spann, the same mercy he gave to Johnny Spann's young widowed wife, left to raise her children on her own. Look at the picture of little Alison Spann, age 9, Johnny Spann's daughter. She knows her Daddy is never coming home again. Walker was captured in the same battle in which Johnny Spann was killed. The traitor Walker could even be the one that killed him, if not he would have gladly and without a moments hesitation pulled the trigger that ended Johnny Spann's life. The traitor Walker richly deserves the penalty for treason and aiding the enemy in time of war. The traitor Walker should be hung by the neck until dead.

Why is Dash-hole close to being convicted of Treason, pray tell?

like it or not - they are both too stupid to realize thier multi faith/god household is bahai'as a result

additionally, a self taught anything is dangerous, be it a muslim, a cook or conservative ;)

MOM and Dad sound like 60's leftovers who will use this to undermine Bush -

I hadnt noticed, but had he renounced his citizenship beforehand? - if so, wont he get treated like any other taliwhacker ?

[lavaroise]

Well well well, brilliance is earned through stubborn study, which involves ironicaly stubbornly staying in your ways, even if they are wrong. I know many brilliant people who sold their soul that way, ironicaly.

[lavaroise]

Dashole is an unrepenting liberal twit, the same path as that of the terrorists.

He joined a terrorist group which had already blown up two embassies and a destroyer.
He knew perfectly well that Al-Queda/Taliban were then carrying out attacks against American targets and were planning future attacks.
He trained in an Al-Queda terrorist camp. He was assigned to the Arab brigades because of his language skills.

Maybe he had plans to be a non-Arab looking terrorist in his homeland? I guess we'll never know...

I have a hard time believing his father was a STRICT Irish Catholic; if so he wouldn't have whole heartedly supported his move over to Islam. His parents are divorced, and I think the young man was just looking for something, anything to fill the void. I said on a different thread the other day that Islam for this him was like a cult. The mosque was a welcoming place for him; something that must have been lacking in his life. As the saying goes; when you don't believe in SOMETHING you'll fall for anything. His parents had obviously not instilled any strong faith beliefs in him with ANY religion, so Islam filled that longing which is in everyone; as one of the saints (Benedict or Ignatius of Loyola ? )said, "Our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee"
