I am still unclear as to whether and what extent this soon-to-be-field-executed traitor had Kuwaiti accomplices. Is this what is being reported? If so, this guy needs to be squeezed big time--we cannot suffer our based support and combat troops to be exposed to terrorists who are working with insiders. If not, field court martial and summary execution,

Heard on CFRB last night (Canadian) the traitor is a Muslim.
Is it possible for the military to recall all Muslim soldiers? doubt it...

If more of them show their true colours it may give some impetous to a movement wishing to do something about them.

Having said that, we cannot start rounding up 'minority groups' and putting them in camps or whatever, Hitler did that - remember.

There has to be another method, we need people who can infiltrate their schools and public meetings to report on what is said. Maybe get them under the sedition law. Find the moderate muslims and persuade them to speak out.

It would require people who speak Arabic and can pass for one.

any takers

"Civilian lawyers are allowed to represent military defendents at a court martial."

But even if Cochran does handle this hot potato, he won't have the usual benefit of having to convince a simple-minded jury of the perp's civilian "peers," will he?

Nope. All military affair except for civilian lawyers allowed for the defense.

I agree, but that's what I thought I conferred...

>>I'm telling you people, it's time to round up the pagan towel heads and get them out of this country. <<

I agree with you--all Muslims--OUT!!!!

You'll find many of them, as well as their supporters, among the University professors in this country.

Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia provide a glaring example of the failure of multiculturalism--Muslims and Christians cannot live next door to each other.

Of course the immigration advocates, such as the Catholic and Lutheran charities, and immigration lawyers will raise hell--but who cares--should they wish to diversify their surroundings--let them move to an Arab country. Strip them of their U.S. citizenship and deport them!

>>Multiculturalism will be the death of our civilaztion. <<

We can hold accountable our legislators, whom we elect to make our laws; the Catholic and Lutheran Charities, which are really businesses which make big money for each one they import; and the immigration lawyers, who have a very powerful, well-organized lobby, which they employ to rally support for getting these people here and to prevent Muslim radical deportation, even when they're involved in crime.

A good book on:

www.shop.ebrary.com

is "Menace Multiculuralism:Trojan Horse in America" by Alvin Schmidt.

you must download a tiny file which serves as a reader of the text books in the library (no spyware), which you can read for free. You just can't copy the material, unless you subscribe.

A glaring example of the brutal fruits of multiculturalist policies is the atrocity and bloodshed we witnessed in the former Yugoslovia.

Did you notice the U.S. media, most of whom are avid multiculturalists, failed to mention the multiculturalist policies that led to civil breakdown in Serbia and Croatia? Were they afraid to report the truths? Or, stupidly and arrogantly, did they think the U.S. would handle the mixing of Muslims and Christians better than the Serbs and the Croats?

Mutliculuralism is a menace that has infected our government, our schools, our churches and our law. I hope we can persuade President Bush to see this and stop the movement in its tracks. And I hope it's not too late.

>>Islam is a cancer, people. Sooner or later, we'll wise up and realize that.<<

It seems to me that most conservative folks have recognized this for a long, long time. Yet the multiculturalist ideology, which takes a lot of its buzz words from Marxist doctrine, has infected our media, government, law, universities, churches, even our elementary and high-schools. And the groups who lobby for it are very powerful.

It's going to take a lot of effort on the part of those who recognize multiculturalism for the enemy that it is to eradicate the enemy.

>>Interesting that there's not a word about that in the WashPost article.<<

From the stuff that they publish, they seem to be staunch multiculturalists. I would expect them to leave out details that might reveal the failure of multiculturalism as an ideology.

Did they ever report, during all their coverage of the bloodshed and terror in Serbia or Croatia, that the civic breakdown was the result of failed multiculuralist policies, the very same policies they support and would foist on U.S. citizens?

Of course not.

Yet, we are at war--A Jihad on all our heads.

Wouldn't it seem that extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. (They could be given an opportunity to go home--frankly, I would not want to live in a country at war with my own.)

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.

Help me out here.

We send hundreds of millions of dollars -- in food aid and otherwise -- to Muslim countries each year. We saved Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. We risked our boys' lives to save Muslims in the Balkans.

They showed their appreciation on September 11, 2001.

Wake up! They hate us already. All those people understand is violence and killing. We need to murder them by the bushel.

Aren't Black Muslims followers of Louis Farakhan and Elijah Mohommed? Aren't they the ones who think that whites are born with tails and there is a mothership waiting to pick them up?

Yes, those are the ones. Basically NoI is a black supremacist/nationalistic hate group.

FWIW, I've had the whole "Black Muslim" thing exlpained by way of this analogy: The Nation of Islam is to "real Islam" what Jehovah's Wintesses are to Christianity.

I've read several articles, and E. Muhammed basically took a dash of Mohammed's Islam and added in a bunch of mystical mumbo-jumbo (of course, Islam itself is a pagan cult, anyway), and came up with the Nation. Farakhan incorporates a bunch of weird numerology into his messages.

It's essentially a made-up religious rip-off of a made-up religion.

Help for you-

I didn't deny your statement, just relating the facts of the world today. We go on a "Muslim/Islamist hunting spree" and we will bring the condemnation of the entire world down on us. We may be the strongest country in the world, but with the world 100% against us, we have no hope to survive. Even the Britts would turn against us if we turn this into an "US vs. the Muslims" battle.

As I have posted elsewhere - My firm belief is that we cannot trust ANY muslims - period. The world will never be safe with Muslims in it - BUT - it's not something we can do anything about. We can certainly try by chasing the most militant terrorists around like a wild goose chase, but we truly are powerless.
