It's a religion of peace, blah blah blah.
What I find interesting in all this was that the shooter was begging the Army to let him go. According to news reports the shooter had paid off his education (he was a MD as well as a shrink) and hired an attorney to represent him.
Now it's not a sure thing that he wouldn't have picked up his "jihad" in a new civilian life, and done just as much or more damage, but it does beg the question, who is watching these guys? An Islamic, Palestinian, Psychiatrist wants to sparate from the Army. Okay.
Does no one in the chain of command wonder about this guy? If not, why not? I just feel like somebody is responsible for letting this wacko go ballistic while he was in an Army Uniform.
How a literate person can read the Koran, even translated(which doesn't work that well)and still believe Islam to be a religion of peace is beyond me.This guy did not go nuts folks. He was simply following sharia law.
And the reason he was not ousted long ago, is because of the ignorant secular society we live in. The PC crowd seems to have taken over lately. And it is the PC crowds fault for the majority of this bullshit.
When we decide to get serious, we will then look at the real reason these islamists do what they do. All the analyzing psycho babble is just bullshit to keep our own ignorant minds occupied.
Read the koran folks, and learn why you must die a tortuous death.
Or were you being sarcastic?Everyone was racist towards him while he served because he was Muslim
That's the problem,movingtocally. Folks have no idea what is going on.
Here we are at war precisely because of what that book is telling men to do. And we have no idea what that book really says.
I read a good bit of it, and I can tell you that the world is in big time trouble...and has been for a good while.
Ignorance is now, and has always been our most expensive commodity, and it will also kill us in the end if we don't try to get rid if it.
I am not going to get into a theological debate, mainly because I am ill equipped. But, if we take things in context, rather than throwing out passages to use as point makers, I think we will find that each of those references were actually stories being told of times of old, and not commandments that modern man are to adhere to.oh, wait thats the Holy Bible, my bad...
What everyone seems to forget is how fucked up war is.
You put young people in situations of kill or be killed. Terror and suspense is constant. You witness war crimes (not a single war ever existed where those were not rampant) and have to cover them. You have to make life and death decisions on the fly and then be held accountable. Many of those making these decisions are 17-22 years of age. Besides all of the death and carnage that goes on in a war is the PTSD that they carry with them their entire lives.
Was Bush wrong to enter Iraq? Yes. Was Bush wrong to enter Afghanistan? No. Should Obama pull every troop out of both countries right now? What would happen if he did?
This is all a big mess and there are no answers in sight. You have to just keep your head up and do what you believe in. When you meet your maker you can answer on how you behaved on this planet. It is beyond blaming a single person right now.
I honestly expect more of this kind of thing with the possibility of the next person wanting to out do that last.
As far as 100 killed in a suicide bombing in the middle east, no one bats an eye at that news because that happens all the time there, it is normal.
And our military is ashamed of killing and displacing over 1,000,000 people in the Middle East since this thing began?Terrorists in the middle east are proud of the fact that they kill anyone who is not one of them,.
