CAMP NEW JERSEY, Kuwait, March 23 -- One soldier from the 101st Airborne Division was killed and 13 were wounded this morning when two hand grenades were thrown into the 1st Brigade technical operations center at Camp Pennsylvania in central Kuwait, U.S. Army officials said.

A U.S. soldier assigned to the brigade was in custody, the officials said. The soldier who was killed was not idenfitied.

"Exhibit #1 will be the first grenade that didn't go off in the Commanding Officer's tent...Dust for prints, anyone?"

There were eye witnesses who saw the jihad warrior lob the grenades. He had been under internal surveillence for days.

This is all our troops need - having to watch Private Mohammed (or in many cases Captain Mohammed) while at the same time taking out bunkers.

I fear it's way too late for that - How many Muslims do we KNOW are in the US - both citizens and non-citizens?

Take that number and add 10-15% and you may have a close number - now, how exactly to we round them up? Where do we put them while trying to "dispose" of them?

Will he be shot by firing squad after a speedy trial?

An old fashioned court martial not a civilian trial.

Provide very sizeable monetary Muslim grants to colleges and universities in America to establish "Centers for Islamic studies" with Muslim directors to promote Islam in higher education institutions.

We are certainly becoming insane. What kind of people provide grants for their enemies to study a book, the Nazi Koran, which directs all muslims to murder infidels?

How JTF would save America and Israel!

POINT ONE: A ferocious retaliation, including the use of neutron bombs, against all Muslim nations which have in any way aided or abetted terrorism against American citizens.

POINT TWO: The immediate destruction by the American or Israeli military of all Muslim nuclear reactors, plants and laboratories developing nuclear, chemical and/or biological weapons of mass destruction.

POINT THREE: Total energy independence for America through a crash program funded in the defense budget as a vital national security priority.

POINT FOUR: An immediate end to all U.S. foreign aid, including the so-called loans of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

POINT FIVE: An immediate end to all foreign immigration into the United States, combined with the complete expulsion of America's millions of illegal aliens and the stringent removal of her legal ones at the expiration of their work or residency visas.

POINT SIX: An immediate end to all diplomatic entanglements with the Muslim world, including a total disavowal of the negotiations aimed at forcing little Israel to commit national suicide.

POINT SEVEN: An immediate withdrawal from the fanatically anti-American United Nations (UN) and all organizations directly or indirectly affiliated with it, and the immediate banning of all UN-related activities on American soil.

i bet you the next guy that appears to have several screws loose is gonna be on lock down.

That's wonderful isn't it? Does he wear a bowtie and glare at everyone?

IN fairness to muslims (something I'd rather not indulge in right now)....Nation of Islam are not real muslims...they are fakirs...a cult but they are quite dangerous and should be renounced by the black community the same way the Klan is by whites for the most part.

Hell....Clinton contracted with NOI to do security for housing projects...paid for by our taxdollars.

Tell me we aren't weak and soft as putty?

As much as I hate to say this, this incident does serve ONE useful purpose.

Namely to put the United States military on alert that the fundamental precepts of Islam are to kill any infidel unwilling to confess Allah as God.

This one is a Sargent.

I had only heard injured -- 16

Did someone really die?

[wardaddy]

I think we're too far gone to do anything baring cataclysmic events Happy.

Folks simply can't handle the truth.

[TheBattman]

Another big problem - the talk of "rounding up" all those of a specific religion - sure sounds a lot like Hitler and the 3rd Reich -

Just an observation. Yes, I totally understand that the Jews were not a threat in any way to Hitler, yet he rounded them up for mass genocide - in contrast to the fact that we have been DIRECTLY attacked by Muslims.

Yet how will the world view any such action on our part? It most certainly WOULD cause the US to be far more villified than we already are. In fact, such action could be the catalist for the entire world to turn against us (except possibly India and Israel who suffer constant Muslim terrorism.

[Dajjal]

What is Taqiyah?

He who disbelieves in Allah after his belief in Him, (is the liar) except he who is compelled while his heart remains steadfast with the faith (has nothing worry). But who opens his breast for infidelity; on these is wrath of Allah, and for them is a great torment.
--Qur’an, Surah 16 (an‑Nahl), verse 100

This verse of the Qur’an refers to the incident when 'Ammar bin Yasir (May Allah be pleased with both) had to utter some words against Islam to save himself from the Quraishite infidels.

The Qur'an clearly allows hiding one 's true faith when one is in danger of one's life. This rule is called taqiyah.

Question 1: What is the meaning of "Taqiyah"?
Answer: Its literal meaning is to safeguard; to defend; to fear; piety (because it saves one from the displeasure of Allah).

Question 2: What is its significance in Islamic termi­nology?
Answer: In Islamic terminology it means "to save life, honour. or property (either one's own or of other be­lievers) by hiding one's belief or religion".

I imagine the rule would apply in a lesser way to a Muslim who hides his jihad sympathies.

True story of only GI to be executed for desertion during WWII. Potent, deeply affecting drama features powerhouse lead performance by Sheen.

Too bad Sheen wasn't really shot in the movie. I get so tired of actors who don't mind making extremely violent movies being opposed to just about every military engagement since Vietnam.

Johnny Cochran is probably chomping at the bit to defend this guy."

Purely a military matter. Cochran will have to keep whoring in the civilian world.

Civilian lawyers are allowed to represent military defendents at a court martial. Having said that, I hope the bastard gets the death penalty and takes the needle.

[texasbluebell]

Al taqiyyah: I imagine the rule would apply in a lesser way to a Muslim who hides his jihad sympathies.

I can assure you that quite possibly before too long, you may be accosted by a few posters here who will ridicule you for this post. Trust me, I've been through it in the past WRT this very concept you write about now.

There are some on FR who swear that al-taqiyya is anti-moslem propaganda and is never used in this way by the true followers of this cult. I'm not willing to go along with that.
