    alleyoop 'American'
    This is from a related article Marianne:

    "FORT HOOD (TEXAS) - SOLDIERS who witnessed a shooting rampage that left 13 people dead reported that the gunman shouted 'Allahu Akbar!' before opening fire, the commander at Fort Hood, where the attack took place, said on Friday.

    Lieutenant-General Robert Cone told an NBC programme that suspected shooter, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, made the comment - which is Arabic for 'God is great!' - before Thursday's rampage that also left 30 people wounded.

    A CNN report on Friday reported that the 39-year-old was dressed in a traditional Arab robe hours before the shooting spree."

    What kind of conclusions are we not supposed to jump to?
    Religions have been used to justify horrible acts in the past, and it appears that this guy was using his. I may not jump to that conclusion, but I am running to U se my common sense on this!

    already we are blaming every muslim in the world for what one guy does. of course, whenever a christian does something like this, everyone on this site stays quiet. it´s okay to stereotype one religion if that religion isn´t christianity.

    Hey, Mr Obama, you don't need to discuss with the federal agenices on the cause of the shooting. The cause was the shooter was a radical muslim who hates this country. PERIOD

    This man was a nut case. Actually, he exhibited signs of lunacy months before he went on a shooting spree. Why didn't his Army superiors and comrades question or act upon these signs? They were the ones observing his actions/comments for all of these months. Obama wasn't privy to his psychotic behaviors - but his superiors and fellow soldiers were. Military advisers have stated on the news that this man should have been relieved of his duties months ago. If you want to place blame - start there.

    There are 15,000-20,000 Muslims serving in the armed forces and have been for 100 years. All of these terrible things - school shootings, sniper shootings, work place shootings,. abortion doctor killers, Oklahoma bombing, serial killers and more were done by "Christians". So, should we judge all Christians by those nut case people's actions? What's the difference? Nut cases are nut cases - period.

    A lot of people fit in the same category as Hasan. They have to have someone to hate. So why not hate the man who did this terrible thing and stop there?

    Of course Obama is going to defend his fellow Muslims, but I think it's a little early to make any conclusions on Malik's motives right now.

    Obama consistently takes the side against the majority because that's how he see himself: savior of the weak, underprivileged and ignorant underclasses. In his mind, it is always right to fight the majority. What else should we expect from a civil rights activist or community organizer?
    He simply has no experience or interest in looking outside his comfort zone.

    This was absolutely a terrorist attack. I happen to know a man who threatened to get his chainsaw after a boy who kept trying to see his daughter. The boy kept going to his house and the father told him to stop or he would use his chain saw on him. He was arrested for a terroristic threat. I have a police officer who is a member of my immediate family. He arrests people all the time for terroristic threats, when they have called to tell someone they were going to kill them. I am so angry about these murders by this monster that it is impossable to describe. I am worried now,because next week my daughter will probably be going to her boyfriend's graduation from basics.
