(CBS) Ten U.S. soldiers were injured, six or seven of them seriously, in a grenade and small arms attack at Camp Pennsylvania in northern Kuwait, reports CBS News Correspondent Mark Strassmann, who is traveling with the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division.
Strassmann said the grenades were rolled into two commanders' tents at the camp. When officers ran from the tents, they were hit by small arms fire.
"From our reports it appears that a terrorist penetrated Camp Pennsylvania, one or more terrorists threw two hand grenades into a tent," said George Heath, spokesman at Fort Campbell, home base of the 101st.
Strassman said three suspects were being held for questioning, two Kuwaitis who served a translators and an American soldier described as a black Muslim.
The injured soldiers were rushed to a field hospital but military officials had no word on their conditions, Lt. Cmdr. Charles Owens said from Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar.
The military did not identify the unit of the 101st that was in the camp but said it had been in Kuwait for about one week. Most of the division has entered southern Iraq.
Separately, Strassmann reported, an Iraqi rocket fired at U.S. forces in Kuwait was destroyed by Patriot missiles launched from nearby Camp New Jersey.
The terror and missile attack came as the U.S. assault on Iraq gained steam. American and British forces besieged the southern city of Basra and pounded Baghdad with impunity. But tough fighting loomed for coalition troops as they pressed deeper into Iraq.

Please do NOT paint with such a broad brush. I don't hate ALL Muslims and I most assuredly do NOT hate ALL blacks; however, I was against you and others, who thought that getting rid of Lott was wrong...very wrong, especially in the way it was done.
Don't play the same kind of game that the " others " do; it doesn't help matters. This continued flame war is badly hurting FR and doing absolutely NO good.

I tend not to think the comment was directed at you, but I, for one, take you at your word on that.

True. No good at all.
To: nopardons
I wasn't talking about YOU, for goodness sake. You're not the one posting all the anti-Islam threads.
To: Howlin
You didn't name names, yet, you tarred mewith the same brush, because of my position on one topic. Just pointing out, that such broad brush strokes aren't helpful at all. :-)
To: nopardons
I didn't mean any such thing.
To: Howlin
It was ambiguous enough, to impugne many, whom I know you didn't mean to. That's my point ! There are enough " hard feelings " and flame wars already, and stirring this pot does no one any good. Just think about it. K ? :-)
To: nopardons
the very same people who hate ALL Muslims hate ALL blacks.I thought that was plain enough; the same people have been posting the anti-Muslim, "the White House is in bed with terrorists" threads for about the last two months. And they were the ones who posted all the anti-Black threads to defend Trent.
You don't come anywhere NEAR being like that.
To: Howlin
Nope, I don't fit that profile. :-)

I guess I'm just reluctant to elevate race to being the primary factor in all of this. It's the Left that's obsessed with skin color; I'd rather be color-blind.
The Beltway snipers, and now this incident, suggest that we have a larger problem -- hopefully not TOO large -- with black Muslims. Obviously we need to deal (quietly, by preference) with whatever threat they may represent.
But I belong to at least three catagories myself -- evangelical Christian, conservative, white Southerner -- that AUTHORITY might someday turn upon with suspicion. We have to be very careful that we don't create a watchdog that will turn on us later.

Johnny Taliban was no different than this guy. I'm not sure the NOI has anything to do with this case ---if this guy waits until he's in Iraq before he starts attacking Americans, his gripe may have nothing to do with his race. I didn't see any evidence that the way he attacked had any black supremacy motives. For all we know those he meant to kill were also black.

The point is Black Muslims are the sleepers here in this country. Under the Nation of Islam banner. Those are the ones that I am talking about. They are the ones that hate America and hate everything it stands for and that hate goes back to the civil war. They want nothing to do with the God of the Bible which is why Islam was just perfect for them.

"Everyone's responsible for their own suspensions."Except that you don't have a problem with people who instigate flame wars as long as they agree with your position.
The poster in question entered this thread instigating a flame war, his post was pulled, and he continued instigating by either making derogatory remarks directly at me, or talking about me to others.
I was not directing myself at him, I was having a conversation with someone else--one that you injected yourself into with your usual..."style"--and I ignored his insults for a while, but this "person's" method is quite clear...initiate the flame war, then sit back and feign victimhood.
There's a whole lot of feigning going on in this forum lately. It's a cowardly, low thing to so

That would be the easy way out. After a few years in Leavenworth he'll wish he was dead.

Civil Rights Chief Warns White House of Al-Qaeda-U.S. Muslim Threat
The head of one of the nation's most prominent civil rights organizations has warned the White House that the rise of radical Islam within America's black community could provide a breeding ground for the perpetrators of the next wave of terror attacks against the U.S.
http://www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=2002/10/26/143542 but there is one good thing we are on top of it now.....
The Seattle investigation turns on the notion that foreign terrorists may have recruited on U.S. soil among African American Muslims, and may even have sponsored a "jihad training camp" in the Oregon backcountry with U.S. collaborators.
FBI Targets Black Muslims in Anti-Terrorist Watch
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/719440/posts But the problem is then they go and let these Black Muslims into the army and send them to Iraq to fight with our troops and oops guess what? One of the black muslim terrorist decides to take out our troops. So now they are stuck and if they send some home or say the truth then the Govt looks bad for ever allowing them in with our troops,,,,
There lies the problem we have.....
GET THE BLACK MUSLIMS AND ALL MUSLIMS OUT OF THE MILITARY!
