This was the largest and most deadly muslim terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11. Obama and the lame-stream media do not want to admit this but it is a fact. The shooter was a muslim, he defended suicide bombers, he spoke out repeatedly against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and said that he considered them wars on islam. The shooter had to acquire the guns and ammunition in advance, he gave away his possessions, he planned to carry out these killings in advance and he yelled "Allah is Great" in arabic before he opened fire
Obama and the lame-stream media are trying to pass this off as post-traumatic stress syndrome which is bullshit. First, no one made this shooter join the military. No one made him let the military pay for his education and give him a pay check, which he took for years. Third, he was a piss poor solider and had a shitty performance record. Fourth, if it were not for the insane level of political correctness that infects our country and our military, this officer would have been given a discharge years earlier. Fifth, the shooter never served in any war and never served in Iran or Afghanistan. Sixth, if the shooter really wanted to avoid going to Iraq or Afghanistan he could have resigned his commission for religious reasons.
This was a muslim terrorist attack on American soil and 13 innocent Americans were murdered and another 28 were wounded. A muslim does not have to be a direct member of alqueada to commit a terrorist attack. However, the sad fact is that Obama and the lame-stream media will never admit that truth. Instead, they will try to rationalize this with a load of politically correct bullshit. Well, in any case, Obama can go back to fighting his war against Fox News.

I'm atheist, too. It's easer to see the forest when you're not perched in one of the trees. When backed up, they always sit on their religion. Before the elections, Bush said his greatest mentor was Jesus Christ. He said god talked to him. God told him to go to war. (Apparently telling him to dodge the Vietnam Draft). Bush is the David Koresh of Branch Dividian. It's The Crusades all over again. Killing for god. Killing doctors for god. Killing Iraqis in order to save then. Forcing democracy on religious people as dedicated to their religion as Bush is to his.
They'll take this Fort Hood killer and hold a Spanish Inquisition; then get back to the business of spreading god's American colonialism. Didn't people leave England for American because they didn't like the King's religious repression?

Everytime I hear a politician invoke God I have to think, does this guy actually believe in supernatural forces or does he think the voters are a bunch of stupids?

Whoever you are I wish you would stop pretending to be pickle and posting commentary that makes it look like he can't grasp the thread of a simple conversation. If you have differences with him why can't you just confront him over it directly? This behavior of yours is getting really silly.

“When a white guy shoots up a post office, they call that going postal,” said Victor Benjamin II, 30, a former member of the Army. “But when a Muslim does it, they call it jihad. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/07/us/07muslim.html?_r=1

I have the Faux Pickle in my killfile, so I never see his posts firsthand.
I did see that post firsthand, so I conclude it is the real Pickle.
What kind of game are you playing here, risky?
(Asks he so innocently, despite having a very good idea what the game is.)
You seemed to imply that anyone who was not an atheist was not such a smart person. You seem to like President Obama and I think that the president is a professed Christian. I was wondering how that worked out in your view of such a conflict.

but it's mostly bullshit "evidence". I suspect his cultural heritage as an Arab was in play more than his religion. For the most part Muslims Jews and Christians tolerated each other pretty well in the Arab countries until Europeans started showing up. Although this guy didn't want to go to Iraq he did want to go to Afganastan -- which strongly suggest his objections were cultural and not religious. Arabs just don't like outsiders coming in and meddling.

McVeighs motivations were cultural in just as strong a way as this Army Officers motivations were probably cultural.
Of course they were both influenced by their experiences with the Military culture. Maybe the appropriate headline in both cases is "Another American Military Vet goes apeshit"

The only problem I see with your comment is that he didn't. Whoever you are.

The editorial additions are all yours, fool. Why don't you just talk to yourself? Oh, yeah, OK . . . that's what you're doing already.
Muslims are known to say "God Is Great" in conjunction with all kinds of occurences- childbirths, avoidance of a serious injury or any kind of dangerous mishap, a day of beautiful weather, etc. It's no more sinister than a Christian saying, "praise be to the Lord."
A muslim who expects to get shot dead in a few minutes could logically be expected to yell, "God is great."
This thread of yours is for Kool-Aid clowns. This guy quite obviously had all kinds of issues. His family was probably ethnically cleansed (with American financing) from a homeland his family had lived in for hundreds of years, yet he served in the US Army and told family members that the Army was his life. That apparently wore off as he experienced years of being shunned and often referred to as a "camel jockey" by his "fellow soldiers". He wrote "Allah" on the outside of the door to his home. I would guess that most Muslims said, "Huh?", when they read that. But you portray this, evidenced by the title of your thread, as an episode in some deeply needed mental construct of yours that there is a war of Islam against the "west".
When you fuck over millions of people for decades on end you have to be a real peabrain to think that a few of them aren't going to lose it. You have to be an even bigger peabrain to pretend that you aren't doing something wrong and that they're losing it only because their religion is "inferior".
