"Strassman said three suspects were being held for questioning, two Kuwaitis who served a translators and an American soldier described as a black Muslim."
I just want to be clear, if this dude is 'a black man and a muslim' I still think his race is irrelevant.
But if he is a member of a 'Black Muslim' movement like FOI, it is an indictment of Army admissions/screening for letting him in the service at all, and an indictment (ANOTHER indictment) of Black Muslim groups everywhere.
