    ...but honestly I would rather this guy rot in jail. He wanted to die yesterday so he could go to his heaven and his 72 virgins....he would have been a martyr for them. Now he is a shot up piece of **** and I hope he gets to see the inside of Leavenworth for the rest of his pathetic life.

    agreed. "the other side" will look upon this as inspirational. we have infiltrated the infidels!" if he would have died, he would have gotten his "martyrdom". but he's alive and will be punished. death is what they want. don't give it to them. lock him in jail and then let our country's "bad guys" take care of him from within prison and don't let it get out to the media. that way he won't get his recognition in martrydom.

    My wife is from Iran, and is of the Muslim faith. Tragically there is a very small percentage of F'tards out there that use anything they can to support their stupidity. We do not know this ****'s motives for what he has done, but it is now being widely reported that he was shouting Allah-Akbar before pulling the trigger....

    If religious beliefs were his motive or even involved in his actions, please let's not paint all Muslims with the same brush. This guy is a complete psycho. I also will not be refering to this douchebag as a Soldier. I will not place him on equal footing with those he killed, and is a dis-service to all that proudly and honorably wear the uniform of the United States. The term "**** TRAITOR" is more appropriate.

    for once, i agree with you.

    There are lots of "second-class citizens," they just shouldn't be labeled such SOLELY on things like religious beliefs. Whether those beliefs should subject them to a little more scrutiny is a whole other matter.

    Steve,

    Thanks for your service.

    I agree that this guy is a piece of crap and am offended of the innocent men and women that lost their lives yesterday. Again, I thank you for the service you gave to this fine country and go to bed at night knowing that there are honorable people like you serving, but fail to see why it entitles you to use these terms to describe people.

    I use the term raghead in reference to the extremist so-called Muslims; not the Muslims that practice the faith, faithfully.

    The 1st amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America guarantees my right to say whatever the hell I want to say. Blood of our soldiers cements that right.

    Nothing personal Shawn, I am VERY emotional/passionate about this topic.

    Steve,
    Nothing personal at all. Like I said, I appreciate your service and respect your right to say whatever the hell you want. My father is from Iran and was a practicing Muslim (until he converted to Catholicicsm) and I have many relatives who are Muslim and practice their faith properly. That's why I am emotional as well. When people use those terms so broadly, it strikes a nerve. It's not about being PC in my eyes.

    Not to pick nits, but you've got this backwards.

    Muslims who are good people, and there are many, are simply bad Muslims. They're NOT properly practicing their faith.

    Read the freakin' Qur'an, it is NOT condusive to a "free" nation (In quotes, because our freedom is limited in the interest of a civil society. Otherwise you have anarchy) like we have here.

    If you don't want to be PC, don't sugar coat the fact that the Islamic faith is some wicked ****.

    ... I am glad the guy lived however, as we can perhaps learn why he did it so that efforts can be made to prevent this from ever happening again. After he is waterboarded to near death, then they can put him in G-pop at Leavenworth. I guarantee he does not last a day.

    I can't count the ways, man. I have learned my lesson trying to reason with you. It isn't possible. You have your opinion; I have mine. Calling the Islamic faith "wicked ****" or any other religion for that matter is inflammatory and designed to elicit angry responses. Your opinion of the Muslim faith is skewed and it would take pages for me to argue your misconceptions of the Koran. It's an argument that I am not willing to do online. If you want my number, PM me and I would be happy to talk.

    The unfortunate thing is that it seems (from my initial read of the news reports) that this guy is using his religion and conversion to that religion as a means to justify his actions. I don't think it was anything to do with "true belief" and being a "faithful" muslim that led to his actions. If I remember right the military has procedures that take into account faith and conscientiuous objections to war? I think he was just a coward looking for a good excuse for his actions.

    Same could be said for every religion out there. Wars have been waged from the dawn of time by trying to prove that one religion is superior to the other. I am Roman Catholic - a faith I have practiced for 35 years. It doesn't make me any more special than a Jew, a Muslim, an Episcopalian, etc. and as such I won't ever call thise religions ****.

    How many Muslims do you know? I know hundreds of practicing Muslims and every one of them loves peace and freedom as much as I do. Your comments could be applied to Christianity as practiced in the dark ages as well. How many millions died as a result of not accepting Christianity and believing in the manner set forth by some guy in a funny hat from Rome?

    Making such a statement is trashing the better half of my family. I politely ask that you refrain from incendiary comments.

    Re-read your responses, Voltaire, you're the one hurling personal insults.

    Unless you're a Muslim, how have I personally offended you?

    Of course you're not. You're not willing to recognize evil. All of the attacks and attempted attacks on this country, both home and abroad by Muslim fanatics, is just an anamoly. It has nothing to do with their faith. :rolleyes:
