U.S. intelligence and security officials fear attacks by Muslim U.S. soldiers opposed to the war in Iraq in the wake of a fatal grenade attack in Kuwait blamed on a Muslim soldier in the Army.

"There is concern that this may not be an isolated incident," said one intelligence official familiar with the investigation of Sgt. Asan Akbar, a member of the 101st Airborne Division who is charged with killing two U.S. soldiers in a grenade attack.

A spokesman for the American Muslim Council said, "There are a lot of Muslims in the military, and we expect them to do their duty.

Expect them to do their duty to who or what? That part he didn't specify. (Never assume...I'm guessing he didn't mean what we think he means *cackle*)

"We view our sailors as Americans first, Americans with full religious freedom," he said. "We do not single out any religious group."

How about homicidal death cults?

Solution: Don't allow any Muslims to serve in the military. Period.

Yeah, well maybe if they got rid of those 9 Wahhabi imams in the U.S. forces, it'd help things a bit.

In the meantime, this PC garbage is killing our finest young men!

Yes, the Koran is quite explicit about this.

Asked about the threat of Muslims within the military, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said the motivation for the grenade attack has not been confirmed.

"First of all, we don't know what that attack was," Mr. Rumsfeld said. "I don't disagree with you that there have been reports, but that doesn't make them so. It's a matter that's under investigation."

Donald, Islam is not Peace and the attack was a terrorist attack! What will it take to wake up these smart guys?

I must be behind on the news. We have 9 Wahhabi imams employed by our military? The most radical sect of the Islamic cult? That is probably the most insane thing I've heard in quite some time.

Don has run with the neo-con crowd for a long time. I think he has lost his perspective. He knows better...at least he used to when he was a congressman in IL a long, long time ago.

You and Mr. Mojo were quick to pick up on this. Muslims will find a 101 ways to lie either outright or by omission.

There are over 6,000 actives serving right now.

If they didn't love this country they wouldn't serve this country. What exactly was Clinton doing and the majority of the other high ranking politicans?


The African-American who perpetrated the crime was more than likely a follower of 'Nation of Islam' (as was John Mohammad) which isn't even accepted because of their racism.
