CAMP PENNSYLVANIA, Kuwait (CNN) -- A U.S. soldier has been detained and is being questioned in connection with a grenade and small arms attack early Sunday at an Army camp in northern Kuwait, the U.S. Central Command said.

The attack at Camp Pennsylvania, where soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division are stationed, wounded 13 people -- six of them seriously -- U.S. military officials said. Central Command said the suspect is assigned to the division.

"Islam has GOT to go. There's no place for this vulgar, so-called "religion" in the civilized West, and CERTAINLY NOT in our Armed Forces"

You might want to have a discussion with President Bush. His plan is to eliminate Saddam, his closest generals, and Al Qaeda. The rest of Iraq will be left intact, Islam and all. What say you about that?

[ladyinred]

I am fuming over this one.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

or the right of the people peaceably to assemble

Are you suggesting this muslims soldier was acting peaceably???

[jwalsh07]

You had it pegged from the gitgo.

Those who enlisted and got promotions, particuliarly in the officer level need to be checked out. Clintoon's perfumed princes and princess who got rapid promotions should ring all types of warning bells.

There were drug gangs in the Navy signaling gang signals on carriers, and they were accidentally photographed for some publicity pictures. It was buried.

hung and left to hang is a better treatment

The black thing I wish the press would drop. The Muslim thing is disturbing to me. I served with at least a couple of Muslims in the Air force. One was very close. I can't think of them turning on me, but this sh*t is making me wonder.

IMHO, I believe the "black" reference is significant to this. I think that more and more, many blacks are being drawn to converting to islam....the "alternative to the white man's religion." Recruitment is becoming more and more commonplace in America, especially amongst the prison population and black communities throughout urban America.

[wardaddy]

Well the word "convert" pretty much says it all. So much for being some Yoruba or Ibo tribal immigrant.

He's a homegrown "homeboy".

This PC crap has got to stop. One has to wonder...how many of these traitors are in our military.

Man, we sure screwed the pooch when we first allowed our military to become a petrie dish for social engineering experimentation.

They should round up all suspected soldiers of this ilk and make REMFs out of them or send them home.

"Nuts"...that's been said before hasn't it?

You can tell....I'm plenty pissed over this crap. A number of good men and one woman (so much for no ladies in combat) got hurt bad tonight and one has died so far. You know this has to rattle everyone once word gets around. And you know the Iraqis will make hay with the propaganda.

ALL FOR DIVERSITY AND TOLERANCE....a damned high price.

It's all right here:

...only FOX is even calling him an American Muslim...

CNN started talking about what the Time Magazine reporter was saying about the incident, but failed to mention that same reporter had just opined (on FOX NEWS) that the suspect was motivated by his Muslim beliefs. Amazing CNN PC issue dodging!

[Steven W.]

Time reporter gave a little more to CNN after previously speaking on FNC - said suspect has "a muslim surname" (which I presume must be Mohammed). He had no chain of command to those targeted; he was from another engineering team that was totally unrelated.

[faithincowboys]

truly we would be better off not knowing this. the practice of embedding in a situation like this is not useful. it is a weapon of mass disillusionment.

What a suprise eh? Aaron Brown...smarmy comb over fart that he is....worthless for the most part.


BTW...nice to share the same page and not be refighting the Civil War eh?

Regards!

[Salvation]

The truth is starting to come out. Eh?

[Chemist_Geek]

Answer the question - do you want the government to shoot people for having a faith different from yours?

[ambrose]

The Muslims, are if nothing else, quite predictable...

[Wondervixen]

Hell no...Don't ship them home...Redirect them to duty in ICELAND!

[nopardons]

It was a lovely warm day, today, we've still got some snow & ice, but the buds grow heavy on the pear trees. We can finally drive down the driveway, in the " regular car, and so, we went out for dinner. I missed the start of this and had NO idea, until the kiddo called . After our chat, I watched some of this unfolding and came here. I am just sick to my stomach ! So much for a delightful dinner, charming company, and the feeling of Spring in the air. " NUTS " , is right.

Yep, home grown monster. How many more are out there ?

[PFKEY]

I was just saying the same thing to some guys here at work.

Military justice is swift and for the sake of our troops and morale he will be tried and executed in short order.
