That's a fact. And we don't know where they are but we have an idea of the description of who they are.

Nobody gets respect from me immediately just because they breathe oxygen.

Everybody in the world is not deserving of respect.

My respect has to be earned.
In my country there are a lot of Muslims as well. If they all were terrorists, I couldn't even respond to you anymore.

The US is not the only "free western" country, but it seems like you provoke the most anger by some people. Wonder why? Ask Ron Paul, he gave the most honest answer from a conservative american Politician.

Yes he did. Here is a ad he ran..
YouTube - Ron Paul "The High Tide" Campaign For Liberty

When the word finally comes out about this massacre at the US Army base at Fort Hood, and it is without a doubt the result of a premeditated attack by an Islamic extremist and his two conspirators to attack the Army base from the inside what will you say?

Keep in mind this wasn't an act by one single individual it was a premeditated attack by three individuals.

Not a rogue lone wolf who was disillusioned with his role in the military and determined to teach the government a lesson etc., etc.,.

People are suspicious of Muslims because most incidents of terrorism ARE backed and carried out by them.
Most muslims live a peaceful life, but a lot of Americans see a terrorist in EVERY muslim.

No, we don't anger anyone now that Obama is our president. Silly foreigners!

That's just not true. Do some research and read past headlines. What Hitler did to non-Aryans was horrific, but he didn't hate them just "because". Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Most Americans do NOT see a terrorist in EVERY Muslim, however, I do see that most terrorist attacks are backed by Muslims. I am waiting for you to provide me information that would prove that wrong.

Can't people just leave politics out of this? Seriously

People are dead, more people are injured in hospitals and they could die.

Excuse my language, but seeing this horrible event turned into a political ***** fight already is absolutely disgusting. People have had their lives changed forever because their loved one is now dead. Who knows how many people are unaware about how their loved ones are doing? There are still many parents who are terrified that their son or daughter may be dead. There are children now who will never get to know one of their parents. Or maybe even both of their parents because we still don't know the extent of what happened.

Seeing the political crap which is already transpiring is terrible, shameful and pathetic.

It's just you, because I just saw his speech and there was no smiles or punchlines.
