Is the Christian bible figure Michael offensive to Islamic fundamentalists as an infidel? And, there are Michael's all over - a good place to get together?

"As though a sniper can only have one gun, or that an al quaeda cell can employ only one sniper..."

. . .these folks seem to be working overtime challenging the their audience. . .

Is Michael a Christian biblical name that is a bad dude by Islamic Fundamentalist standards? Is the name Michael offensive to muslims?

Archangel Michael is the angel of darkness, according to the Koran and is thought of very highly by musli (tho' they favour Gibril, who allegedly recited the Koran to that raper-of-nine-year-olds prophet whom they follow).

"if this is just a test run - to see how much damage a single sniper that makes well-timed attacks can do without being caught."

It's time to pray folks... Please let this NOT be terrorist related.

Thanks, I'm always armed.

yours and mine musta gone to the same culinary institute.

I begged her not to call 911. But to no avail. I had to empty the entire fire extinguisher on the sucker. 8-)

Is the airspace in these areas restricted? Is that why no newsies have been on this?

Could be - that area's not too far from Ft. Meade (NSA HQ) - what 8 - 10 miles or so, if that? - there may be some other "restrictions" from that general vicinity.

I just heard that the boy, still in surgery, has been upgraded from "critical" to "serious."

Thank God. That means he's survived the blood loss. Now it's a matter of how serious his internal injuries turn out to be.

Michael is the guardian angel of Isreal so now wonder that call him an angel of darkness.

That picture was drawn by a high school girl from Bellingham, WA.

[Joe Hadenuf]

That's exactly what he said. LOL! Everyone in the room looked at each other and started laughing. Jezzz this is so sad it's funny.......

[Freedom2specul8]

Well, it did kind sound like it.. could be a dialect/accent issue.

[MissAmericanPie]

I wonder if this guy is shooting people on his way to work, then shows up at work and goes on about his day.

[cajungirl]

I think that we can all guess what we might do in this situation if we were the mother, and we can debate what is right and what is foolish, but I have to say nobody here or anywhere loves that child more than his mother or father and I for one think the debate is for thinking about what we would do in this case. But to criticize this mother, to say she might have contributed to her child's death if he died, is beneath contempt. We do have to think what we would do knowing that seeing a beloved child bleeding in front of you after being shot might propel you into action even when in hindsight you might torture yourself with your action and its ramifications. I know she must be in hell now and how terrible is that?

So why are the other grades still having afternoon classes?

Because they are already at school.

"This terrorist sniper fits none of these. The targets are varied, they are not government associated, and have no similarities."

You did not mention Islamic Fundamentalist terrorist. . .

. . .or maybe that is your point?

[maximus@Nashville]

Does anyone know what the circulation of "Guns and Ammo" is? We have that many suspects? The point is this person is speculating, a dangerous occupation for a detective. By focusing on "American gun nuts" you will only find the shooter if your assumption as to the type of shooter is correct, ignoring all clues to the contrary!

[Quilla]

Flame you? I was wondering the exact same thing and I don't have a clue as to the answer.

Your posts about Florida's 911 system's efficiency has me wondering about the quality of law enforcement in the Maryland and D.C. area. I was never particularly impressed with Ramsey and this Moose fellow isn't doing much better. I'd love to offer them the services of our local sheriff who is running for re-election. His ads running right now remind us that his murder solution rate for his tenure (8 or more years) is 100%.

That's good news..thank you.
