A person's first reaction is that the perp is probably muslim and black.

It's sad for all the other decent muslim soldiers that he reinforced the basis for the fear.
Now, it's something that the military services have to keep track of.
Profiling is a worthwhile tool.

Total bullcrap. Maybe muslim, but race has little to do with this.

Spare us the white-hooded rant.

The thing is, the term American Muslim Solidier is an oxymoron. If this guy's engineering battalion came under fire, his faith would not allow him to take up arms against his attackers. Muslim law will not allow it. Recently some muslim FBI agents refused to even wire tap other muslims on the grounds that it was against their faith.

I didn't say he was black but the first thing I said when I heard about the attackwas: it was a soldier and he was a Muslim. My husband argued with me, he thought it was an Arab who had somehow gotten into the camp.
