And, for the record, I absolutely believe that Muslims should continue to be able to serve freely in the military. However, if one of them starts spouting off in support of our enemies overseas, I think he or she should be investigated and monitored very closely. A lot of times these things come out of the blue, but it is starting to look like Mr. Hassan's sympathies towards our enemies may have been expressed previously and ignored.

^^Yes, one of those interviewed said that as long as six months ago, Hasan was spouting off (in front of his military colleagues) statements which were in support of our overseas enemies. This should have been investigated at that time. But I have no doubt that if it had, the military would have been accused of "profiling" and discriminating against Muslims. |

All Muslims are terrorists. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a terrorist. Mahammad Ali is a terrorist. I think that all Muslims should be deported from the United States or thrown in prison.
It is this type of racism that creates hatred and fear. The fact that he happened to be Muslim is irrelevant. Hispanics and African-Americans kill people. The Virginia Tech killer was Asian. Charles Manson was white.
Grow up.

| Whats next-the 9/11 hijackers were just a bunch of disgruntled investors?
Sorry, but it is time to get rid of the PC BS and get real. This guy is a Muslim terrorist. Not all Muslims are terrorists, but this guy certainly is.

lol
So, following this logic, if someone kills a black person and while doing so, refers to him as the n-word, then it's not a hate crime and the fact that the victim was black is "irrelevant." Got it!  You can't have it both ways. |

| Exactly! And if a bunch of people lynch a black person while wearing white sheets, it isn't a hate crime as well. They probably just didn't want to get their clothes dirty.
Good grief.

The 9/11 hijackers were members of the Taliban. This guy was an army major who was scared of being deployed and tried to kill himself. If he were a member of the Taliban, it would be significant. But he wasn't. He just happened to be Muslim.
And your comparisons are dumb.
Grow up.

| Hah! Please tell me you are joking. Please.
I guess the army didn't give this guy good marksmanship training. If he was "just trying to kill himself" with his pistol and semi-automatic rifle, he missed about 43 times. And, he's still alive!
I guess the fact that he was being investigated for supporting terrorism doesn't have anything to do with this, right?
Oh, and you might want to get through grade school before you start telling people on the parents forum to "grow up."
Kids these days, gotta love it. Ignorance is bliss-or just ignorance.

Your saying the comparisons are "dumb" is just a young and immature person's way of saying, "I can't answer that..it's too logical and makes too much sense."
So, let me get this straight...A Muslim killed 12 people and injured over 30 more on an American military base, and he expressed some anti-American statements and statements in support of the Muslims overseas within the last six months, but the killing of Americans on an American base by this same Muslim was purely incidental. It had nothing to do with his professed religion.
And we're the ones who need to "grow up." lol |

| Come on, purple, everyone knows this guy was only trying to kill himself. He was just a really, really, really bad shot.

He was a crazy person who was afraid of war and potentially hated other soldiers for their involvement.
Still nothing to do with him being Muslim there. You're not trying to suggest that the Taliban sent this guy to infiltrate the army, are you?
They had nothing to do with this.

Well, Saugus, I simply think it's too early to know to what extent, if at all, this incident is related to his Muslimness. It may be; it may not be. We don't know yet.
And if I see the videotape of this guy in traditional dress going into the mini-mart to get coffee, I'll scream. Yes, we can see he was in traditional garb. Really, that's still allowed in America. @@
And for those who are "complaining" that the coverage isn't covering his Muslimness, rest assured that CNN certainly is.

| seriously? he hated his fellow soldiers for killing muslims and was afraid of being sent to kill his fellow muslims, duh.
not to mention the whole crazy part. but of course the military should investigate all muslims and leave the non-muslim crazy people alone. |

The stupidity of liberals continually amazes me. To think that religion would be irrelevant is beyond stupidity.
