"Quran Bilal (yep, that's his mama's name) said Sunday that no one in the military had informed her of the accusations against her son. In a phone interview from her home in Baton Rouge, La., she said she thinks her son has been accused simply because he is a Muslim.

Akbar was born Mark Fidel Kools. His mother changed his name to Hasan Akbar after she remarried, when he was a boy."

This poor guy should sue his mama. What kind of American names her kid, "Fidel"???

Well let's see, act bizarre for days fussing about what the attacking force is going to do to "his fellow Muslims," then turn up wounded and the only one missing (cowering in a bunker) after the grenade incident... doesn't take a rocket scientist to put this one together.

Someone who admires Castro, as a wild guess. Mama Kool sounds like a piece of work, and junior is apparently the fruit of the poison tree.

This is going to be a long and tough war against terrorists and terrorist sympathizers. If the Army doesn't start serious security checks on new recruits, and keep a short leash on Muslim servicemen who act erratically, this will happen again. Better to err on the side of caution -- and a kid with a middle legal name of "Fidel" and an alternate Muslim name should send up an immediate warning flag.

M is for Muslim. That's good enough for me.(Sung to the tune of "The Cookie Monster Song")
