Because THIS is the sentiment that frightens me on FR.

Are you ruling out that this guy might be a black muslim American who is homegrown criminal? Are you convinced he has connection to foreign terror networks? Are you convinced all black muslim Americans are?

Because there are some people who get emotionally carried away and post extreme generalizations does not mean that you must assume that the opposite extreme is the way to go.

Are you thinking that al Qaeda, Hammas, and Hezbollah wouldn't think about funneling money into the Black Muslims and inciting them to violence? Are you thinking that every American citizen who perpetrates an act or acts of terror does it in a vacuum?

I have been on those sniper threads since this first broke. I tried to keep an open mind about the case, and listened to both points of view. I actually thought it would turn out to be Hispanic guys, myself. I never considered a Black Muslim (although my husband did).

Why are you so upset about this? I do not understand your thinking or motivation.

Too bad 9/11 and the current TERRORISM doesn't frighten you as much. You need to wake up and smell the carnage.
Read this article to the finish. This is WAR.

Non-sequiturs & strawmen.

Something tells me you really aren't open minded on this thing.

Annie, I truly do not understand your position. If he is just an angry black American, converted to Islam, and he
shoots and kills dozens of people in the US, does that mean he is not a terrorist? It then becomes just a hate crime and that is somehow better than being a terrorist? Are we not at war with all murdering terrorists? I thought I heard President Bush declare war on all terrorists everywhere. He would have been a terrorist if he was as white as milk and a baptist!

It is also hard for me to understand how anyone can not see that Islam and their religion of peace is the culprit. That some Muslims live peacefully and are not terrorists (yet) is nice. Even some of these nice Muslims raise money for terrorists and their organizations. And undoubtedly the ones that truly oppose terrorism are nice folks.

Whether or not he was trained in an Arabian terrorist camp he and his Jamacian cohort are terrorists! Because his teenage murdering partner is from a foreign country, he now become an international terrist, no matter how he came to shooting innocent people.

This man was a practicing Muslim who admired the boys that flew those planes into our buildings. He undoubetedly thought he would show his support for them by attacking citizens of the great satan, or else he was incredibly bored with life and looking for a little sport.

You amaze me with your stance. Do you want them coddled because you don't see a connection to Bin Laden? The connection is his motivation, Islam.

What would a homegrown Nazi be? You're trying to stay very politically correct, Nazis are somehow bad because they tend to be blond blue eyed people, because Muslims are dark but otherwise very similar it's completely different. All Muslim groups operating in the US, especially their militias should have been thoroughly investigated after Sept 11, 2001. The innocent people died because of political correctness.

"Unless we are suggesting that all American Muslims in this country should be rounded up and made prisoners."

Internment camps, whether you agree with them or not, were effective in WWII. It just depends how large the threat becomes within our borders.

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.
