'US SOLDIER ATTACKS TROOPS' [unsanitized discussion of MUSLIM treason suspect]

'US SOLDIER ATTACKS TROOPS'

An American Muslim soldier is understood to have carried out a grenade attack on a US military camp which injured 16 soldiers.

A second man, who is not a soldier, is thought to be held.

Three grenades were rolled into three tents housing military leaders of the 101st Airborne Division Saturday night at Camp Pennsylvania, home of the, near the Iraqi border, said Sky correspondent Stuart Ramsay, who is in the base.

The grenade that was rolled into the first tent, where the commanding officer sleeps, did not go off.

But two other grenades used to attack tents where the unit's majors and captains sleep did explode.

'Acting weird'

Ramsay watched as the suspects were held.

"Two men are being held, one of which is a Muslim soldier who is an engineer," Ramsay said.

"It appears he was hiding in a barrack where the attacks happened. A second man, who we believe is not an American soldier, is being held by the military.

"As the man who carried out the attack moved away there was some shooting. He was shot in the leg. He was held on the ground less than 100 yards from where the attack happened."

He said fears about the Muslim soldier's behaviour had been raised in recent days by colleagues.

Interrogation

"In recent days they were concerned about his behaviour and were not going to send him up to the front when the soldiers were going to be deployed."

It is not clear whether the soldier, who Ramsay said would have been in the Gulf for some weeks, had planned the attack before being deployed.

"To be honest we just do not know," Ramsay said.

"Talking to other soldiers, it could be that he was disgruntled. They said he had been acting 'weird' for days."

Eleven soldiers who were seriously hurt were flown out of the camp by helicopter.

You are the one who is full of bullcrap. This is no "white hooded rant." If you are familiar with the Black Muslim religion, you will know why.

Can you please tell me exactly how to tell who are the loyal Muslim American GIs?

Do you just take it on faith, until the grenade goes off?

Mohammed Atta was a model 'moderate Muslim', right up until September 10th.

"Black Muslim", ie. a follower of Louis Farrakan, a believer in "evil white devils" etc, is NOT the same as "a Muslim who happens to be black."

There is also no solid info on whether his being Muslim was a factor either.

Yes, I am sure it was simply a coincidence. Like Mohammed and Malvo the snipers, or Mohammed Atta and his 18 buddies, etc etc etc.

I'm sure it's all just a big coincidence.

Nothing to see here folks, move along.

Muslims in the IDF are Druze and Circassians, who are generally viewed by other Muslims as heretics and kuffir.

Sky News is Fox's sister station. However, I have not been comfortable listening to them. At least not yet. They have too much BBC in their voices, especially the anchor dude in London who talks back to the embedded reporters.

You hit on the key here. Not all muslims, but certainly any who have bought in to the islamofascism are in an extremist organization and should be excluded and, if in the service already, discharged.

This is sickening. I hope they shoot this guy. Then stand him up, and shoot him again.

I wonder if they can liberate any of Uday's plastic shredders?

DAMMIT! Who got at my keyboard and typed that?!

Iverseas, in Great Britain and New Zealand, Sky is what

We have ourselves a case for an open treason trial here. I, further, note this is not the first case of muslims in the US military taking sides against the USA. This is not a case of fragging a single officer at platoon or company level this was a conspiracy to take out the units leadership.
