Yeah I saw this, very sad. I know this will probably piss a lot of people off, but I'm sorry, i think while we are at war with what is basically muslim factions, having muslim military members is probably not a good idea.

 

[sstambo]

Terrible. So Sad.

 

[suhrim21]

it is horribly sad but what I dont understand is how someone could unload clip after clip having to reload on a military base and not be shot sooner. he had to reload each gun at least once probably twice. that is 4 clips he had to change. how could you not shoot him when he is reloading.

A military base like ft. hood is like a city. Soldiers generally dont walk around with their rifles, they are in the armory, usually in or under their quarters.

dont the MPs at least carry sidearms?

What kills me is the fact that he is a military officer! Did you notice his name ?Kinda scary with any one with influence and power with a name of that orgin! Hint! Hint! WAKE UP AMERICA!

I think it was his brother last night that talked about other people picking on him because of his name. Even tho he grew up in America.


Same racist stuff that could of drove him to do it in that post above.

yeah, but this happened in the deployment area which is fairly far away from the front gate which is usually where you'll find mp's. So i'm guessing that there probably were a lot of soldiers there, they probably had rifles, but had no ammunition. It was a civillian cop that actually shot him

He was a Major. I doubt that a Major has issues with people picking on him in the army.

He was also a Muslim. Even tho he was a Major(a shrink), I'm sure there could of been a lot of talk behind his back.

I don't condone anything he did. Yet, there has to be a reason of what drove him to do this.

being a muslim doesn't mean you are going to just start shooting people! come on! people of ALL FAITHS and those without have murdered. faith is not a reason to kill. it seems more likely he had a psychotic break due to stress from having to go over seas to kill people in a war he didn't agree with. thats a LONG way from kill the infidals

 

[DaMulta]

So is being a American Muslim a bad thing in this country that was based off freedom of religion?

 

[suhrim21]

there's your reason.

I hate to point out but that is what is wrong with this country is all of the ignorance and hatered. you see ignorance breeds hatered and hatered fuels violence.

I think you are a ok guy now!!!! But do you actually stand behind that statement? A reason for slaughtering innocent people!

in this case we have a primarily christian country attacking primarily muslim countries.

there was another soldier that did the same thing a couple years ago. also muslim.


I'm not blaming them I would do the same thing if i were a devout christian living in a muslim country, in a muslim military and about to attack those of my faith in a war i didnt agree with.

So he was just a nut that went, and killed a bunch of people for no reason?

People can be mean, and be mean without thinking about being mean. The guy had no right to do what he did, but in his mind he must of thought it was ok to go after everyone.

Bring this topic back inline and discontinue speculation and racism or the thread will be closed and further infractions issued !!

It is a horrible thing that has happened and nobody will truly understand the mindset of the accused. But racist remarks or racism in general is against ECF rules and NOT acceptable.

[CHUCKLEHEAD]

Agreed 100% And he was picked on ???? WTF? He was a trained military officer!

This has nothing to do with racist remarks. Im talking about a religion, not a race. Muslims take their religion very seriously, way more serious than most christians nowadays. This is the same religion that killed a cartoonist over a caricature of mohammed. The man was a devout muslim, being sent to a muslim country to kill muslims with a force that is generally considered to be the enemy. Anyone that doesnt think his religious beliefs came into play as he was loading up his weapon is kidding themselves.

ADIOS!!!!! this is starting to sound like MSNBC
