I wonder what people would say if it had been done by a Christian extremist? There are over 4000 Muslims in the U.S. Military according to NBC News. One of them goes nuts and suddenly it's because of his Muslim beliefs, according to some people. Granted, the Government should look into ties with Muslim Extremists. But, stereotyping people by their religion and ethnicity will lead this Country into a civil war faster than some of these posters can open a History Book. Maybe the "Crusades" or the "Spanish Inquistion" would be a good start at balancing out your view of Muslims Vs. Christians.

To tiny tim get a clue yourself. The Facts he served the last 7 years in Maryland and whis most recent post was in Texas.He was getting ready to be deploid to Iraq and in my opinion was a conscientious objector.He snaped because of ALAH and took it out on the Heros at Fort Hood.He is a terrorist of the worst kind. Homegrown Islam extremist Nut.I hope he faces the death penalty for his crimes against society and God.

He was seen earlier that morning in a coffee shop dressed in his Muslim garb. Even the shop owner thought it was weird, he is also Muslim. JUST because he was born in the USA, doesn't mean he couldn't be connected with a terrorist group. Ignorance is not the only thing alive and well, denial and apathy run rampant too.

Mr. sick and tired; You sure got alot out of a 1 line blurb. You were able to lump me in with Obama, blame me for the shape of the economy, blame me for the up coming civil war that you predicted. If you can do all this not knowing me, please tell me the winning powerball numbers and I will play them.I will then move to the Bahamas on my own private island.....I shouldnt even have posted this in answer to your direct attack but playing with stupidity is sometimes fun......

Just because someone practices the Muslim religion it does not mean they are a terrorist. I am thankful for a country that allows different cultures. Im not saying poor guy by any means,his actions are wrong and tragic, but he is an American who serves in our military. Why assume because of his name he has other intentions. Let the story come out. Ignorance is alive and well.

Darn right " sick and tired". If someone wants to call it racism fine. I'm also sick and tired of all the extreme liberal agenda protecting people that openly hate America and its beliefs, only so we dont look " mean" or un cultured or " racist". If you think your the good person here, go live in Iraq for a few months, I bet you wont be as nieve Tim.

Hey Kevin, read the news. He was saying "Allah Akbar" as he was shooting according to the base commander. Apparently fact is racist in your eyes. I wish you were less concerned about an open mind and focused on your eyes. We are at war and people like you and Obama (The guy who did away with the "War on Terror" are allowing these people to take seed in our country and rip it apart. Between implanted threats from radical Islam and Marxism from Washington, this country is in for a rough ride. Unless something changes drastically there is going to be a lot of blood shed. I predict a Civil War but Guerrilla style this time. Decent people eventually get fed up with the radicals always driving their agenda down our throats. Its time for America to wake up.....you don't think a white guy walking down the streets of Tehran would cause some reason for them to be disturbed? Yet you wouldn't think a thing of it. Kevin its people like YOU, not us that are the reason America is the shape it is.

It is pretty bad when the shrink goes nuts.

You guys ar so racist. If the guys name was Doug Jones or something like that, what would you say then? He was born in Virginia. Get a clue. Not saying he was a victim but I wonder if he served over seas and had pts? It happenes sometimes. But then again, we don't know the full story.
