Of course, of course! It's not his fault he lobbed grenades into the tents of his fellow soldiers and shot them in the back!

These people must be democrats... seeing as they can't take any personal responsibility.

Puhlese.

"Asan was pushed to this. We've got that clear," William Bilal told WBRZ, ABCNEWS' affiliate in Baton Rouge, La. "Everybody's got a breaking point, to put it that way. Everybody's got a breaking point. If he did this, he was driven."

"Da Debbil made me do it"?

More likely, the driving force was along these lines:

Those who knew Akbar from the past expressed disbelief that he could be responsible. Imam Hasan told the Times that the Akbar he remembered was a quiet, shy and studious boy who stayed out of trouble, even normal schoolyard scuffles and roughhousing. --The Army Times

"For a limited time only! Turn YOUR quiet, shy, and studious boy into a murderous thug. Just add Islam! Yes, Islam. That magical formula from the ancient past, imported from the shifting sands of the mysterious Orient. You claim your boy isn't quite xenophobic enough? That he doesn't even get into the normal schoolyard scuffles and scrapes? With a dash of Islam and its childhood/pubescent circumcision and a license to kill enemies of the House of Islam, you'll have no problem at all in awakening his latent paranoia and aggression and turning them outward. Islam! For all your martyr complex needs! And don't let the girls miss out on all the fun! Be one of the first hundred callers and get a free clitorectomy kit!"

This guy, and the sniper John Mohamhead, is the perfect subject for Mike Mooreon's next fictional documentary. I would call it "The Bobsie Twins Get Real Religion, not Stupid White Man Christianity"

[ohioman]

I wish this scum's family was in Iraq right now.

[mindjam]

Ah yes, the old "held down by The Man" argument.

[PA Engineer]

Looks like the nut didn't fall to far from the tree.

[Texas Mom]

These people must be democrats... seeing as they can't take any personal responsibility.

You can bet on it.

[cynicom]

Well then, I confess, we are driven to shoot the man.

[Birdiegirl]

The step father also admitted that he had not seen or talked to the step son in 3 YEARS! He didn't have a clue what was going on. That was so obvious.

[rattrap]

I kinda hope this does turn into a media circus, and jesse and jonny get involved, and picketers, and moore and then the military hangs the POS muslim scumbag traitor SOB.

it would be nice for some instituion to show they don't take (ahem..)stuff from these folks.

and i know by putting all that other stuff around muslim i was being redundant...

[gitmogrunt]

For starters, I wish our military could do a Summary Battlefield Execution for this fatherless piece of scheiss.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Brilliant move by his out-of-touch family, opting for the Colin Ferguson defense.

[TheBattman]

Yes he was driven - by his own ignorance and the influence of the Satan-spawned religion known as Islam.

[Atlas Sneezed]

Another neighbor agreed that Akbar was no troublemaker.

"I was shocked really because he was one of the quietest ones in the neighborhood, he kept to himself and you wouldn't expect anything like that from him at all," said Heather Dill.

What does the Al Qaeda manual say about quietly blending into the neighborhood to avoid attracting attention?

Did Fidel Kool Akbar study some extra-curriculars during his NINE years getting a single college degree?

[goodnesswins]

Just out of curiousity....does anyone know if any of his victims were of other than caucasian race?

[IronJack]

He may have been driven to the murder, but hopefully he'll be MARCHED to the firing squad.

[newgeezer]

"All I'm saying is that Islam has been misrepresented, and a lot of people don't understand the religion of Islam," Bilal said.

Mr. Bilal and the rest of his "religion of peace" ignorami need to come to terms with the fact that the Islamic fundamentalists (e.g. bin Laden) -- the ones who read and study their Koran and their prophet Muhammad -- know Islam better than anyone else.

[flamefront]

told his family members that he encountered racism as an African-American and a Muslim

I want to see that lawsuit, now! Bring it on!

[slimer]

RIGHT ON!

[Saundra Duffy]

Oh, brother. And did you see that soldier's father blaming President Bush for his son's death? He said, "President Bush - you have taken my only son!"
