Why am I not surprised. It seems utterly idiotic for the US to have fanatical Muslims in its armed forces for the sake of the ideal of religious equality and tolerance given Islam's attempts to destroy the US and everything it stands for. There's no doubt to me this is only the first of what will become many. Would we be so tolerant if the war was against a communist nation by having avowed communists serving in our armed forces?

The NY Times is saying he was a "converted" muslim, which means that the original report of a "black muslim" was correct all along. In fact, more than half of the muslims in the US are "converts" and black.
I doubt there are a lot of Arab muslims in the Services, and if there are any, no doubt, right now they're dumped in some "token" position where they can do little harm.
Black muslims, however, are a different story. Blacks comprise 13% of the Services--32,500 in the theater now--and of that number assume 5% are self-identified Black Muslims--conservative assumption if you ask me. That gives us 1,625 black muslims, and this frightens me.
Why? Because blacks who've converted to Islam have done so because (i) they hate the U.S., (ii) hate Jews, and (iii) hate White people. In other words, the perfect candidate for a maggot who would do something like this. One or two here or there, no big deal, but 1,625 could do real damage.

None of the injuries are being called life threatening, and some of the casualties have been air-lifted out of the camp. CNN is reporting that one soldier has died.
To: Edward Watson
Sky News also reports that the treacherous attacker is a Muslim:
Sky News - Grenade Attacker Understood To Be Muslim.
And a commentator on Fox News TV mentioned it at least twice. But you can't find it yet on their website.
DoD and the US news media websites seem to have a major gag order on this (even heard the preposterous reason that it was because the alleged attacker was wounded too and they have to notify the family first).
OK, fine. Political sensitivities are what they are and we've got Muslim allies in the region we have to stroke. But we here in the US should all understand what this means. It wasn't a Baptist, Buddhist, or Wiccan that fragged his buddies and the command tent. And the FBI is exactly right to be watching mosques.

It has been reported earlier on cable news that the military has many WAHIBI (sp.) clerics! That is a crime unto itself!!!! Why must a good loyal soldier have to serve alongside WAHIBI's?
This is not a political correctness issue. This is a safety issue for the whole military. Imagine the spies, also.

Would we be so tolerant if the war was against a communist nation by having avowed communists serving in our armed forces? I would say were we that stupid in times of WW2 to have Nazis and Japs in our armed forces?
To: Edward Watson
Just got through watching FOX.
Obvioulsy a black Muslim...whether American born or a West African born immigrant I couldn't say.
He is with an engineering attachment with the 101st.
Of the wounded several looked very serious. One has died sadly. Several others seriously wounded.
The perp was striking out at brigade leaders.
One of the wounded was a woman (so much for no women in combat eh?)
He appeared to be striking out in some misguided interpretation of his religious convictions.
ALL THAT ACCORDING TO A TIME REPORTER ON THE SCENE WHO WAS IN THE TENT WITH THE WOMAN WHO WAS INJURED BY FRAGMENTS>
Having these loons in our combat units is idiocy...PC run amok as usual as costing lives sadly.

To: Edward Watson
Jim Lacey Time Mag was in the tent next to the one in which the officers were attacked
The muslim trooper involved ..didnt act alone...suddenly his Iraqi interpretor confederates
dissapered from the story..
Fox is trying to spin the story that this troop was disgruntled and agitated...mentally unstable
and acted out of this resentment to officers
Fox is worried that all muslims will be badly painted with this incident...going PC
And moral will go south...
Yet this troops officers are not in the area attacked he is an engineer attached..he and his
muslim buddies attacked the commander of the brigade and his staff...they knew right where to
go and which tents to hit...
So what happend to the others the lone grenadier was aiding..???
So much for truth and fair and balanced...
They need to get rid of every muslim in the command and bus them and their imman chaplins the
heck outta dodge imo..and ASAP
If this guy is an indenpendent or a member of al-Qaeda sleeper cells embedded among our
troops should be considered and our kids not sacraficed on the altar of DIVERSITY..
To: Edward Watson
A 2nd soldier has been detained per msnbc. I wonder what his muslim name is. I do not buy the "resentment" motive at all. Resentment is not an emotion shared by two people unles they are in jihad.

I want to know how long he's been serving and how long he planned this. It seems he was in charge of grenades and security and was acting suspicious. You would think living, sleeping and working side by side with his fellow soldiers would have forged a bond. Only a deviant and hate filled mind would try to destroy those same soldiers. I feel bad for the families that are waiting to hear about their loved ones, knowing that one of the people closest to them committed this crime.
