Honestly, I am more scared of american right-wingers than I am of muslims.
Just look at the mess in Iraq. Why did you invade Iraq? Can you tell me again? Was your national security threatened?
Trust me, where I live, people view Americans as terrorists as well. Its just a different point of view. I condemn what happened today, but its just too obvious how people use this incident to spread their hate again.

Btw, How many muslims do you personally know?

Off the top of my head about 30. And you?

Anyone who truly has a personal interest in this tragedy should be ALL THE MORE passionate and urgent about uncovering and acknowledging the Islamic terrorist aspect of the killers' motivation.

Stop the bawling and squalling, because it's not going to fool me and it's not going to stop me or delay me from getting to the bottom of this. And I'm 100% confident that anyone who lost a loved one to this maniac is very committed to learning the truth and finding a solution to the Islamic invasion of our country.

But, as she has said so many times, with back to back deployments there is just so little that can really help. She has actually met the doctor who did this horrific thing and was shocked that he did it. She urges us all to pray for the troops and their families as this is going to take a further toll on their mental health. Thanks to all of those who have been concerned. It does help.
I'm am so glad to hear this LML. I am sick at heart to see how people are using this as fodder so soon. People's hearts are breaking right this very second. Can we give it a rest out of respect for the dead and wounded? It's like people arguing at a wake. Who does that?

There is a philosophy within the fiber of Islam whereby you can conceal (lie) about your true faith in order to protect yourself from being persecuted.

There's something extremely strange about this case and as time goes on everything will come out in the wash.

Why would a psychiatrist who has never been deployed to the frontlines, has a strong dislike of weapons, snap and go on a rampage?

Something doesn't fit.

Absolutely WM. I have had 2 younger co-workers that have gone twice now. I find myself sick with worry for them. I can't even begin to think what it would feel like to have a son have to go. I served in the early 80's, so the world was a different place then. While I was in Germany for a few years, I know my folks worried, but not anything like families of todays servicemen/women. No one was shooting at us back then. I truley have a huge spot in my heart for todays military family. My worry is bi-partisan. I just want them all home safe.

If I just found out I lost someone these would not be my first thoughts. My first thoughts would be, "my life is never going to be the same, and I have no idea how it is going to be. The love of my life is gone."

Guess you may have heard by now that the "two suspects"....(you call them "conspirators") have been released, and it appears that both of them were trying to STOP the shooting rampage???

So much for your "instincts".....
