While not all evidence is in, it looks like the sniper was a Muslim. Huge surprise to some.
All the newsmedia talking heads and the "expert" profilers, have been saying the sniper was a white domestic right-wing domestic. Even as more evidence mounted that this could possibly be terrorism, the networks did all they could to steer clear of it.
Freepers have been saying this was Islamic terrorism since day one. I guess that makes the Freepers smarter than the people whose job it is to profile. But we're really not smarter we just have common sense, and we're not afraid to be un-PC. We are at war with Islam, and anybody who tries to pretend that we're not is a fool.
One of the anthrax mailings said something along the lines of "death to america, death to israel, allah is great". This led the experts to believe that this is a domestic right wing terrorist. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that just like in the sniper case, the "experts" are wrong. We're at war with Islam here people, wake up.
CNN reported a few minutes ago that the camp was not searched.
There's a problem with that. The sniper, whoever he is, shot and killed people of more then one race. mafree knew one of the victims, I believe. He was black.
(Thanks for the ping) Three of the people killed and one of the wounded were Black males. I'm not sure what to make of all this right now.
If they were Nazi skinheads, you would not be excusing all the rest of the Nazis from their actions.
We should all become much more educated about the methods and world-wide goals of TJ, it is FAR more dangerous than is commonly reported.

I can't speak for all, but I say, no, not at all.
But I infer from your posts that you are in serious denial about the possibility of Black Muslims being sympathizers with Muslim terrorists. Many of us are puzzled by this myopia on your part.
IMO, the very idea of the Black Muslim movement in this country was sick and counterproductive to a mentally/spiritually healthy nation.
Anyone watching five minutes of one their gatherings who does not conclude that many, if not most, of the "Minister's" followers are not men absolutely bubbling with hate, anger, and resentment is simply a wishful thinker. And, of course, the "good minister" does his best to inflame and fan those hateful emotions.
There are dots, we could start by connecting them...
MOA (Muslims of America) was founded and is led by the radical Pakistani cleric El Sheikh Sayyid Mubarik Ali Jilani (commonly known as Sheikh Jilani or Sheikh Gilani). Based in Lahore, Pakistan, Jilani established MOA in 1980, after arriving in the United States for the first time. In the 1980s, Jilani, who claims to be a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, actively recruited American Muslims to fight against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. MOA claims to have offices in six U.S. cities and Toronto, and it maintains secluded residential communities in New York, Virginia, California, and possibly other states. The group also runs a Web site and an e-mail mailing list.
Muslims of the Americas: In Their Own WordsThe group, according to a federal source, is part of Fuqra, an organization whose name means "poverty" in Arabic and which has had compounds in several U.S. areas.
Some Fuqra members in other areas have been implicated in past years in domestic terrorist attacks, and the State Department has labeled the group, known formally as Jamaat ul-Fuqra, as "an Islamic sect that seeks to purify Islam through violence."
The group south of Fresno operates an 1,800-acre compound called the International Quranic Open University, which sits on the former site of the drug addiction recovery cult Synanon.
Why is there an Islamic Village
in the foothills near Fresno?Colorado's investigation indicated that the United States FUQRA movement was composed of approximately 30 different 'Jamaats' or communities, somewhat mobile in nature. Most of these 'Jamaats' are believed to currently exist today, along with what investigators deemed to be several 'covert paramilitary training compounds' -- one of which had been located in a remote mountainous area near Buena Vista, Colorado prior to Colorado's prosecutions in the mid-1990s. The corresponding FUQRA 'Jamaat' to the Buena Vista compound was located in Colorado Springs, Colorado
One of the FUQRA defendants convicted is James D. Williams. After his conviction in 1993 for conspiracy to commit first degree murder, racketeering, and forgery, Williams fled and remained a fugitive until being apprehended in Virginia in August 2000. He was returned to Colorado and sentenced this past March to 69 years in prison. From at least the middle 1980's through 1990, Williams was a leader of a Colorado FUQRA.
INFORMATION REGARDING COLORADO'S
INVESTIGATION AND PROSECUTION
OF MEMBERS OF JAMAAT UL FUQRAResidents of the compound, mostly black Muslims, will say little beyond proclaiming their innocence and complaining that they are victims of religious and racial prejudice.
Pierre said in court that al-Fuqra was a ''phantom, nonexistent organization.''
Prosecutors decline to say what kind of terrorist activity they suspect. Instead they cite al-Fuqra's history and warn that some of the compound's residents are dangerous.
Terror Probe Leads To Rural Va. HamletMuslims of the Americas, a tax-exempt group established in the US in 1980 by Gilani, operates communes of primarily black, American-born Muslims in many states in the US, including in Binghamton in New York, Badger in California, York in South California and Red House in Virginia. JF is reportedly linked through court documents to the Muslims of Americas. There is also a road in the name of Sheikh Gilani in the vicinity of Virginia. The cult houses between 100 and 200 people, many of them women and children in about 20 huge trailers. There is also a Virginia newspaper, the Islamic Post, founded by Sheikh Gilani.
