Haven't read through many replies, will try to later.
My own thoughts - These things are bound to keep happening, and worse, if we do not take measures to pro actively and preemptively defend ourselves.
There is very little outrage, if any, being expressed officially.
The word it "just be calm", and our so-called leaders seem to be in some hypnotic trance, wondering "why did this terrible tragedy have to happen" ?
Instead of shooting the
--deleted-- within 24 hours, after an on the spot court marshal, this is going to drag on for years. The muslim that did that grenade attack in Iraq was sentenced to death in 2005 - Guess what, still in appeals.
What a friggin joke, no ones got a pair anymore, everyones afraid to say anything that will upset any of the precious minorities.
The guy was born in the USA from Palestinian parents.
Born in the USA, yet he is still quoted as saying that he is muslim first, American 2nd and I can guaren damn tee you that they all think that way, and its time that these
--deleted--s start adapting to our culture, our customs, our country, instead of everyone bending over backwards to adapt to them - And they can get the hell out on the first boat if they don't like it.
This meek official reaction "lets have calm, lets not rush any judgment" is all you hear, so now the radical islamics know that all that they can expect when they launch attacks on US soil is hand wringing and moaning.
This is only going to encourage the mall/bus style homicide attacks that until now have been confined to the mid east - Until the people themselves, meaning you and I, start reacting, the government is not going to do 1 single thing about this.
I was flipping through some news channels and on MSNBC their line was "It could have been anyone, an Irishman, a Catholic" ,,, As if the fact that this guy is muslim and shouted ABDUL AKBAR or whatever the hell it is that they say, has nothing to do with this.
My god, no wonder so many throughout the world predict that we are on our last legs.
An outrage like this, a religiously motivated homicide attack on our own troops in our own nation, and everyones just looking for excuses, absolutely pathetic.
edit: Read through some of the replies, its not my style to change anything that I have written.
I will say that when I refer to muslims I mean "extremist muslims" - And before I get jumped by GI Joe for being an armchair warrior, 8 year USMC vet here, including Desert Storm.
I have likewise worked professionally with muslims that I'd classify as decent folks - Doesn't mean I'd want to take them home with me, and that doesn't mean that they wouldn't stick a fork in my back if Allah told them to do it.
