BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- The former stepfather of the U.S. soldier accused of attacking his own unit in Kuwait was arrested Thursday on a federal weapons charge.

Officials said the arrest was unrelated to the case of Sgt. Asan Akbar, accused of lobbing hand grenades into a brigade command center of the 101st Airborne Division on Sunday. The attack killed two officers and injured 14 other soldiers.

Arrested was William Mohammad Bilal, who was married for five years to Akbar's mother.

About the only thing I find even remotely attractive about Islam:
"Women -- Use 'Em and Lose 'Em!"

It's simply amazing that any female on Planet Earth in this time could find Islam
to be a religion that works to her having any sort of human status in the scheme of that
religion.

Sadly (note the sarcasm), my parents raised me in a retrograde-style Christian
environment that at least tried to promote the idea of marriage-for-life.

But as a male, I can see how the philosophy of Islam is so seductive to a lot of guys...

he was convicted of aggravated rape... She said Bilal had threatened her several times and said he was not afraid to use his weapons.

Another peaceful Muslim.

"Arrested was William Mohammad Bilal, who was married for five years to Akbar's mother."

WHOA! There's a newsworthy item on its own!
"Akbar's" mother and father were married!

I enjoyed listening to the Iraqi ambassador to the UN the last couple of days
He refers to this war as one being waged by "White Anglo Saxons" against the Iraqi people..I've been waiting for hims to use the term "Iraqi Muslim People Of Color"
