Black Muslim US soldier is a suspect! ("10 U.S. Soldiers Hurt In Grenade Attack")
CBS News website ^ | 3-22-03 | CBS

Posted on 03/22/2003 5:18:31 PM PST by Atlas Sneezed

(CBS) Ten U.S. soldiers were injured, six or seven of them seriously, in a grenade and small arms attack at Camp Pennsylvania in northern Kuwait, reports CBS News Correspondent Mark Strassmann, who is traveling with the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division.

Strassmann said the grenades were rolled into two commanders' tents at the camp. When officers ran from the tents, they were hit by small arms fire.

"From our reports it appears that a terrorist penetrated Camp Pennsylvania, one or more terrorists threw two hand grenades into a tent," said George Heath, spokesman at Fort Campbell, home base of the 101st.

Strassman said three suspects were being held for questioning, two Kuwaitis who served a translators and an American soldier described as a black Muslim.

The injured soldiers were rushed to a field hospital but military officials had no word on their conditions, Lt. Cmdr. Charles Owens said from Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar.

The military did not identify the unit of the 101st that was in the camp but said it had been in Kuwait for about one week. Most of the division has entered southern Iraq.

Separately, Strassmann reported, an Iraqi rocket fired at U.S. forces in Kuwait was destroyed by Patriot missiles launched from nearby Camp New Jersey.

The terror and missile attack came as the U.S. assault on Iraq gained steam. American and British forces besieged the southern city of Basra and pounded Baghdad with impunity. But tough fighting loomed for coalition troops as they pressed deeper into Iraq.

What are we supposed to do?

We should behave as if Islam is not a threat to our Culture?

I happen to think that it (Islam) is a threat to our American way of life!

>>Wasn't John Mohammad, the DC sniper accused of doing this during the first Gulf War?

Bingo! IIRC, it wasn't proved, but he was eased out of the military because they were pretty sure it was him.

I'll see if I can find something more definitive.

Ah yes, the insanity defense. I thought of it as soon as I read the article.

Prediction: This guy will have a very expensive "pro bono" lawyer come out of the woodwork, just like Johnny Taliban did. And we'll again have no idea where the money came from to pay for his defense.

I haven't had time to read the entire thread yet, so maybe this has already been reported.
BUT....CBS has already pulled their original report labeling the soldier as "black muslim". He is now being described only as "an engineering seargent."

I am convinced that those who I have been going at it really hard with on this thread must simply not be very good at math, to not have realized what you just said.

Of the twenty two or so major conflicts on this planet today, twenty of them involve "Islam".

What does that tell you about Islam's ability to peacefully co-exist on this planet?

They hold a world view that will mean the deaths of Jews and Christians

Amen. The BASIS of their so-called relegion is the brutal slaughter of Christians and Jews. It isn't optional. To claim to be be a muslim but to deny this would be like claiming to be a Catholic while denying the divinity of Jesus or the authority of the Pope. Islam is not a cafeteria religion like some of these new-age outfits in the U.S. where you pick and choose. Bloodletting of Jews and Christians is mohammedanism, part-and-parcel.

This moham in Kuwait today shows how self-hating we are as a society, how bent either consciously or sub-consciously on self-destruction we are by tolerating those who would kill us---tolerating them not just as our neighbors but enlisting them to DEFEND us!

These people say we hate you, we will kill you, we will disembowell you after raping boys and mutilating your women... And our response is, oh, you wonderful diverse and noble creatures of the desert. Welcome to our home, we will provide you jobs, would you like to join our military?

Don't sweat it. The salient fact isn't his skin color, it is his ideology.

The commentator in question mentioned that 9 of 13 chaplains (paid for by the taxpayers) in the Army were Wahabis. The Wahabi sect of Islam, which is promoted by Saudi Arabia, is very radical, i.e. kill the infidels.

The color of his skin matters not a wit... What matters is his freakin' creed--ANOTHER STINKING, NO-GOOD, SON-OF-A-B***H, MUSLIM FACSIST PIG!!! ANOTHER FREAKING FILTHY ISLAMIC PIECE OF S**T.

This swill-bucket should be drawn and quartered... his limbs loaded into four different Howitzers... and then blown to the four winds.

The American government had better seriously consider rounding up every stinking piece-of-crap so-called Muslim "citizen" and exiling them to the Islamic country of their choice.

'The anti-Muslim rhetoric gets pretty damn annoying.

Thank you for stating that.

These "lock up all the Muslims" morons will be fought tooth-and-nail by all decent conservatives. They are as much my enemy as the radical Muslims.

Nine of 16 Islamic chaplains in the military are from the Wahabbi strain of Islam. This was noted tonight on FNC by Frank Gaffney.

Islam is the enemy.
