When in the sam hell are Americans going to open thier eyes and not these foreign idiot in our armed forces?

I highly agree with Jim. If their religion preaches that you must hate America, then what the hell are they doing serving America? He converted to Islam after joining, and should have been dishonorably discharged.

America needs to wake up. National security should be way more important than liberal political (So called) correctness. America and it’s allies are, and have been, under attack by ALL of the terroristic muslim world. This week has been a holiday in the muslim world celebrating the invasion of the American Embassy in Iran. Of course in an attempt to protect the current administration, the worthless mainstream media will not say anything negative about muslims no matter how many Americans die. Now they wont even tell the truth about this terrorist!! Wake up America! Please before it is too late. God Bless America

Texas needs a wall to keep the Mexicans out and the military needs a wall to keep the terrorist idiots out. If we keep letting anyone and everyone in, we are setting ourselves up for failure. Actually, we already have but it’s becoming more dangerous every day. Especially with Obama as president. We have allowed ourselves to become surrounded by the enemy and we’re sitting ducks. When the enemy strikes, they only have to turn inward..we’re surrounded on every side. There is no escape. We need to stand up for America and stop letting everyone else dictate to us that we “must” respect them. They are on our turf. Damn it…they need to respect us or get the hell out.

Next time you see some liberal dem on tv preaching about “Chang”ing America and more politically correct, think about these service members and the fallen Police Officer. This “Anti American” agenda has fueled attacks like this. This, along with many other terrorist attacks are a direct result of lack of responsibility and ethics in Washington. Please America, remember this. Dont forget like so many democrats did with 9/11. God Bless all who wear and who have ever worn the uniform. Semper Fi

Now they are saying this terrorist is alive and the female police officer who shot him is in stable condition. The Lt Gen Cone of Ft Hood is having a press conference. He sounds more like a politician reading a speech than a leader who has just lost 12 American Soldiers. He makes me sick, he threw in praise for ridiculous Hussein Obama and shows no anger or personal loss for the tragedy today. This is what is wrong with the system. We need some old school Officers and leaders. God Bless the deceased and the families of all involved.
Comment by joe — November 5, 2009 @ 10:01 pm
its sad that when a tragedy like this happens, sick people like these others who left comments are loose and run their mouth like a dog. first of all religion has nothing to do with it so leave it alone you ignorant idiots. plus is in there shooting all the freaking time in this country? are they also muslim? or some sick from this society? STOP BLAMING OTHERS you idiots and go raise your family right, so your dumb kid (who never got love from you)doesnt shot up a school or church or clinic, stop spreading hatred, cause what goes around comes around, there is not a single american muslim that i know that bares that kind of hatred, innocent muslims are killed in thousands but still these muslims are doing everything to spread love and togetherness. may god open the eyes of arrogants. how would we feel if other armies was in our country killing us in the name of FREEDOM?

In regards to the idiot lib taking up for the illegals, …YOUR lack of logic and common sense is the same bs that put us in the situation we are in now. This is America. It doesnt matter where you are from, but if you come here, love it, become American, work, pay taxes, and DONT try to “CHANGE” anything! If you were a real Vet, I wouldnt have to explain that…..
Comment by joe — November 5, 2009 @ 10:06 pm
Amal, you are an idiot, YES your religion (Or hate group) IS directly related to these attacks, I work in the middle east and you and your terroristic bs cant fool me or any other American, WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH! Become an American or go back to making IEDs and living in your mud hut beating your 8 wives you cant take care of.. Comparing us to dogs?????? I work everyday with your muslim relatives watching them beat and stone their women, treat little girls like dirt and oh yes the thursday nights where your religion says you can do “Anything” with male counterparts. You walk around in little gangs and crap on the streets WE built you. You hate us because we expose who you really are and your JIHAD crap isnt religion at all. You hate us because we bring police and build schools to educate your women and children. Your country is 2000 years old and you still aren’t civilized. Now you come and tread on us with the only thing you can do, Cowardly teerorist attacks on innocent. Dont you dare preach your crap on a day when you took the lives of the very ones who fought and gave you that freedom! YOU spread hate mr amal!! You want to change something, go home and change the bs in your country and thank GOD for the Americans who died to give you the right to do that!!!!!!

Eddie,
quote”Hey joe Never mind your uneducated so called brain will never learn ????”
Is this a question? Who is uneducated? If you are not far enough along in school to correctly make a statement or ask a question, I dont think you should be pretending to be so sure about anything. Maybe it’s not your fault, maybe you went to a public school who had to teach more spanish than proper grammar. Turn your hip hop music off and get to bed, I’m sure you got school in the morning. Be American (No matter your origin) or be somewhere else.
God Bless these soldiers and their families.

Now, now, Joe you mustn’t offend the little muslim-remember our beloved president is a little muslim. never mind that we are all ‘offended’ to say the least that they crashed into our twin towers for starters and killed thousands. Why are these low-lifes even allowed within our borders? This is our home. Would we allow haters and murderers to live inside our houses with us and our family. Allowing them into the country is the same. Where is the sanity or at least common sense. We have to fight this with all our ability. Work through the system-contact your elected officials and demand they take our nation back! The root of the problem is collapse of morals due to falling away from faith in God therefore becoming tolerant to everything and having no clear idea of right or wrong.
Comment by Trish Margaret — November 5, 2009 @ 10:47 pm
As if it couldnt get any worse…….Now the scholars on CNN are saying this terrorist was brought to the attention of the FBI for some internet postings about committing crimes such as this. However, since our great liberal Dems and media had such a fit about the Patriot Act and Hussein Obama overturned it and put restrictions on investigating innocent terrorist I mean muslims I mean terrorist, the FBI legally couldn’t investigate this terrorist. I guess it’s not really the FBI’s fault. Maybe we all should share the blame for allowing the likes of Pelosi and others with more greed than logic to be in Washington. Kinda ironic how the liberal press bashed Busch for the patriot Act, but now point their ignorant finger at the FBI for not investigating him 6 months ago and stupidly ask “Why was he not investigated?”.
It’s not difficult to see this angers me. I am truly sorry and sympathetic for the wounded and the families of the deceased. It’s 0630 here in Iraq, as I write this, I can hear the Soldiers and Marines stirring about and getting their MWRAPs and Hummers ready for missions. We have lost 2 in this area the last 2 days and now this on our own soil. People, it’s time we put aside some irrelevant name of a political party and remember who we are and what America is and is not. Don’t be scared to tell your elected official what you believe is right. Many great Americans have died so you can do that. History tells us what made us strong and our American Spirit will hopefully keep us that way. Think about all that is wrong in Washington before you re-elect the same old greedy politicians. We need to make them realize things like national security and true liberty is more important than what some out of touch Berkley Grad says is politically correct. Make yourself heard America. Let our elected officials know attacks like this and lack of laws that allow this is unacceptable. If you think it’s too much trouble to do this, then think of what it’s gonna be like when our children and grandchildren inherit a bankrupt country full of radical muslims. Think of the great service members who lost their life today because one muslim terrorist walked through the cracks again. Why?? so the ignorant libs cant say we didn’t “Harrass” a poor muslim just for practicing his religion?? Funny how they(Libs) acknowledge the jihad hatred as a religion but peaceful hard working Christians are called fanatics. It’s time to speak up America before another Achmed or Nidal, or Hussein strikes again. Our founding fathers and ALL veterans didn’t do what they did so we could sit back and let this happen! GOD BLESS
Comment by joe — November 5, 2009 @ 11:38 pm
Had this guy been a true Muslim, he wouldn’t have done what he did. The Muslim Religion doesn’t preach to hate Americans, or anything else for that matter. All these claims have been propagated by the mainstream media, and by the extreemist terrorists groups.
Let’s make something clear, no man of faith kills, whether a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, or whatever other religion one chooses to be. These men are mere wackoes, murrderers, killers, psychopaths and not men of God. Hence, to call someone a Muslim terrorist, is paradoxical and oxymoronic at best! One is either a Muslim or a killer, Christian or a murrderer, a Buddhist or a bloodthursty wacko, but never both.
Comment by whooots — November 6, 2009 @ 12:59 am
I hate to burst your bubble mr Whooots but……………
I dont think it was Buddhists or Christians who crashed into the World Trade Center or Bombed the Marine Barracks in Beruit or video taped beheading of Americans held hostage or many other horrible cowardly acts of terrorism committed against Americans simply because they think their religion teaches this. I agree a true man of faith would never commit such a crime, however there is a very obvious reason why the middle east has been in turmoil for 2000 years. It doesn’t matter what your (Or my) interpretation of Islam is as long as their belief is that it does support such violence. Visit Iraq or anywhere in the Middle East get caught alone somewhere and see how long you live. I’m an American and I believe in God. This great country was founded on the belief and faith in God and living peacefully. Thankfully this faith in God has given our great veterans the strength to protect our way of life and the freedom to live and believe in what you want BUT dont bring your cowardly terroristic crap here and bring harm to Americans and the vets who gave you the very freedom that you cowardly hide behind. If you really think worshipping a statue or practicing jihad or stoning women ican be compared to faith in GOD, you certainly have quite a bit to learn. Worship and believe what you want, that’s between you and your maker, but dont piss down my back and tell me it’s raining! America and the rest of the free world have had enough of the cowardly jihad terrorist muslims AND the idiots like you convincing them they’re justified. I am currently in Iraq and work all over the Middle East and I haven’t met one muslim who wouldn’t cut my throat (Or their mother’s) for a dollar. Oh yes, why is it that every violent social group or society like malcom x, Somalia, Sudan, Iraq, Iran, Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq just happen to preach islam and claim that as their religion?????? Im sure your gonna say something like “All muslim societies aren’t violent like Dubai etc..” . You are correct but they sure aren’t doing anything to separate themselves from the violent practicers of their “Religion”. Sorry Mr Whooots but America is sick and tired of the Muslim violence and the people taking up for them. IF someone is a true “Man of faith” as you say, im pretty sure he will practice something other than bomb making, I mean Islam, I mean hyjacking, … I suggest you spend a little time in Iraq, Afghan, Jordan, Sudan, Somalia, or Pakistan then tell me about true faith and Islam. Until then, Im gonna hold these b@st@rds accountable for such things as what happened on Ft Hood.
Comment by joe — November 6, 2009 @ 2:50 am
Damn right Joe! It seems as though you’ve taken some of my thunder but as long as it gets said I’m happy. Furthermore Mr whoots it is clearly expressed in the koran to make convicts I mean converts and kill those who refuse. And dont try to separate so called peacefull muslims from the radicals. they are all screaming allah is god right? Note the differences, mormans and jehovah’s witnesses do not agree with each others doctrine nor the fundamental bible believing christian all different belief concerning jesus but we havent seen any of them commit this kind of continuous bloodshed day after day in the name of religion in the modern day. And isnt it really about Jesus, really? Ever since issac and ishmael the arab world has been tring to eliminate the jewish people. Which one is the promised one from God. Jesus decended from issac and muhamed came from ishmael that has been the issue from the beginning. And since this nation early on followed the Christ (who was non violent btw) and has been an ally to israel we are also hated by the muslim world.
Joe is right when he says wake america hold polititions accountable. The problem is people dont want the God of christanity influencing gov so some gravitate to the more liberal thinking Dems. But have you noticed the further away from God we go with how we are governed the worse quality of life is for the common man as whole. We have great comforts but anything goes as far as right and wrong are concerned. Our women have less and less inhabitions and men love it untill its their daughter sleeping around doing nasty things but by then its to late because the wrong people are in office every where. Thats the reason we are attacked the we have been for awhile now (USS Cole, Beruit ring a bell to anyone. Joe you cant answer) Its the reason why someone can come to america and get loans to open hotels and gas station and get law,medical schooling for cheap if not free. But americans have to jump through whoops to get anything, abd when you get something you spend the rest of your youth paying it back. Maybe we should get a towels or put a red dot on our foreheads restrict my wife and daughter to my rule then maybe we could get the attention from our precious gov we deserve.
His parents didn’t want him to go into the military,” Mr. Hasan said. “He said, ‘No, I was born and raised here, I’m going to do my duty to the country.’ ”
Ok to all who would defend him because he was picked on. Damn that! he took an oath to defend against all ememies foreign and domestic. You cant live here prosper in our free society and then run when the time comes to pay for the liberty you and your family has enjoyed

mr joe, your arrogance is clear, JUST FOR THE RECORD, I PRAY FOR THE INNOCENTS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES TO THIS NONSENSE TRAGEDY, no body deserves to die for no reason, and i am sorry if i offended anyone, including YOU JOE, because if i scope to your level, i will be no different, so i be the bigger man and say that this is not about YOU OR ME, its about innocent ppl dying, here, over seas, everywhere. lets stop this madness and respect each other, ppl like you JOE are filled with hatred and i dont want to be anything like you. SO MAY GOD HELP YOU SEE THE LIGHT and i dont mean my god, your god whoever that might be. these terrorists are killing my people in dozens everyday, do you think i look at them any differently then you do? will i dont. but for you to set behind your computer and talk like you a lion, but in reality you are a coward who probably sees ppl everyday that needs help but walks away, THATS YOU. i love this country more than you could ever imagine and i will do everything to protect it, against terrorism and home grown terrorists like your self who fuels hatred with words, you no different than those criminal terrorist who plays the blame game like you.

guys this guys was crazy why is that so hard to understand, he was a lunatic. and we have ppl like that every where. NO RELIGION IS VIOLENT. please understand this that america is home to alot of muslims who contribute to this country everyday, why cant we leave islam alone and go after any criminal or terrorist regardless of their motivation, believe me when i say this islam teaches tolarance, respect and forgiveness, ITS FUNNY HOW ALL THESE NON MUSLIM IDIOTS LIKE JOE AND ERIC ARE HERE TO EXPLAIN ISLAM, you guys dont know islam so why do think you can spread lies. believe me its nothing like what these guys says. I PERSONALLY HAVE READ THE KORAN AND AT NO POINT THOSE IT SAY THAT YOU CONVERT THEM OR KILL THEM, IF THAT WAS TRUE THEN WHY ALL THESE CENTURIES JEWS AND CHRISTIANS LIVED PEACEFULLY IN THESE ISLAMIC COUNTRIES, no we dont want any body to convert to islam, matter fact islam says that jesus and moses were prophets and that islam not only respects these others religions but also believes in them and their prophets, so dont spread rumors cause you are then part of the problem not the solution. THE ONLY TIME KORAN MENTIONS VIOLENCE IS WHEN PROTECTING YOUR HOUSE OR YOUR FAMILY AND AS SOON AS THE THREAT GOES AWAY, YOU STOP.
Comment by amal — November 6, 2009 @ 4:20 pm
1st, Jesus was not just a prophet he is the christ God himself and has never asked anyone to die for him but instead died for us big difference. 2nd Jews have not even lived in peace in their own land let alone muslim nations dont be rediculous. They have been and still are attacked by muslim lslam whatever you want to call it to this day. As I stated earlier the feud started with issac and ishmael and there are many faiths that have good messages but still differ concerning christ. So you can call me an idiot all you want but the fact is I supervised a woman whos daughter married a muslim man and lived a nightmare. She was told she could not have contact with her family and that she was to produce him sons. She over heard him talking to his brother about they were going to marry to put their seed in the quote the blonde hair and blued eyed white women and fill this country with a new generation. It is projected that france will be a muslim nation by 2020. Sounds like they have already planted lots of seeds. Wonder what wouldve happend if Princess Diana would’ve lived(food for thought). We in this country have a right to be pissed, it seems that others are catered to more than our own, but this is not so in other countries especially the arabic world. And amal you still havent addressed the oath hasan took. Like I said you cant enjoy the freedoms and gifts of this country and then run when its time to pay for those liberties. And one more thing I pastored for some years and can tell quite a bit about things that dont get reported on the religous front and I am clued in on why we have differences in our faiths and why many get extreme. Take your idiot comment you called me, to another forum I am beyond your average blogger just spouting off. I
Comment by Eric — November 6, 2009 @ 7:40 pm
AMAL,
Your speculations and foolish excuses plainly show your true colors. In the middle of this you want to say we should “Respect” you and your religion. You fool. I could care less who you respect or dont respect, that’s not what religion is about. You should teach your followers to “Respect” human life then maybe you can talk about respecting something else. You say I sit behind my computer and dont help anyone. At the moment I’m in the very country you are probably from. I strap on body armor and carry two weapons everyday just to travel through a land filled with your “Peaceful”muslims. I have probably spent more money the last two years from my own pocket than you make. I have bought everything from boots to clothes to school supplies for the little girls of this country that your peaceful religion throws aside and treats like dirt. You idiots dont fool anyone anymore. You cant live with each other so you come to a free society so you can cowardly target innocent people. As usual, most of the victims of the latest muslim terrorist attack is on women and the unarmed. The whole world knows you idiots are responsible for 99% of terrorism in the world. I guess you are gonna say that’s just coincidence??? You say people like me are filled with hate??? You are far from the truth hodgee. I along with the rest of the free world are just tired of your violent uneducated logic. You want everyone to believe and live like you or you think you have the right to committ cowardly attacks. Your followers have been at war with everyone for 2000 years. You cant even build schools or let your women go outside all in the name of this “Peaceful” religion. If you cant establish peace amongst yourselves, dont come here (US) and whine when we reject your foolish ways. Your right about one thing, I dont know everything about islam and dont want to. I know enough and that is the fact that everywhere there is islam, there is violence against the innocent. Preach your crap somewhere else or better yet, pick up the Bible and learn what true faith is and how to live in peace. God Bless America and the victims of this cowardly terrorist.
