(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.

I see what's going on here. I interpret the quote as meaning the suspect is black and the suspect is muslim.
You are saying the quote means he is a member of the 'black muslim' movement.
Hmmm. I don't know which is true. I need clarification.

A black muslim is not the same as someone who happens to be black who is a muslim. Look up Elija Muhammed if you want.

I feel so bad for you. They did say that none of the injuries are life-threatening, thank God. My prayers are with you and your son.

and now are stabbing us in the back by moving troops into northern Iraq.
Like it or not, that is the deal that we have (IMHO) made with the Devil.
That fix was in long ago!

If true, every Muslim in the armed services should be shipped stateside and discharged. Why not every black?

I'll go along with that opinion. Islam has no place in our army. Particularly when we are prosecuting a war against these ragheads. Sorry if I slurred sdomeone's heritage.

I don't see how 'black' is relevant in this situation. Muslim clearly is relevant, but I'm unclear why 'black' matters. It's because the "Black Muslim" groups in the US are extremely anti-American and anti-white.

I didn't even want to mention those things, but thank you for doing so. If I allow myself to think about all the stupid things that have gone on...I get extremely angry and frustrated!

I don't see how 'black' is relevant in this situation. Muslim clearly is relevant, but I'm unclear why 'black' matters. "Black Muslim" is a lot different from "Muslim."
"Black Muslim" groups like Nation of Islam are not even considered to be Muslim by your garden-variety Muslims. They have fringe beliefs, such as considering their founder Elijah Mohammed a prophet.
So, that's why it matters. Now, there are bona fide Muslims who happen to be black, but the use of "Black Muslim" leads me to believe this is a member of one of these American fringe groups, who, I think, still make up the bulk of American Muslims.

I agreee with you black has nothing to do with this, This is a Muslem "Religion of Peace"(tm)issue. When is this country going to wake up and realize we're at war with a militant Religion.
