An Muslim U.S. Army officer opened fire at Fort Hood in Texas today, killing 12 soldiers and wounding 31, before he was killed by a base police officer.
The Army identified the gunman as Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan.
The Army Times said Hasan, 39, was a psychiatrist recently reassigned from Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., to work with soldiers at Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood.
None of the benign comments in this article match up to the atmosphere concerning this individual, that I have been hearing about, from the persons whom he worked with, was evaluated by, or lived next to.
I wonder how the Christian who believes that holiness and a righteous indignation toward sin should be an integral part of the Christian walk, is looked upon by the 'Christian' who thinks that such sentiments are austere and radical, and should have no place in the gospel.
Radio Netherlands wrote: Bigger problem Although only the second of these attacks was carried out by a Muslim soldier, Daniel Pipes – an academic on radical Islam – says this is a bigger problem than the US wants to admit. He argues all Muslims entering the police or army should be thoroughly investigated.
“Assuming this soldier Hasan was angry at the war, it’s not terribly surprising. There are tensions. Unfortunately, I think there’s a pattern when there are Muslims who engage in violent acts, to interpret this as something other than Jihad. And I think that’s a mistake. In general that’s the motive – it’s anger against non-Muslims.”

Oh, well, [URL=http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Pages/Statement-on-Muslims.htm]]]"Don't judge the Muslims that you know by Islam and don't judge Islam by the Muslims that you know."[/URL]
Number one: Allow no further immigration from Islamic countries.
Number Two: Deport any Muslim that even hints at having a problem with our Nation and our Laws.
Number Three: Isolate any Muslim Military personnel into areas where they don't need to be armed. Expel any trouble makers immediately upon exhibiting an "attitude".
Number Four: Give up "Politcal Correctness"
Number Five: Impeach Obama and his motely crew....immediately.
Number Six: Return to the US Constitution as the sole rule of American law. Return to Jeffersonian Democracy and demand a smaller Central Govt and a return to "State Rights".
Number Seven: Close our borders and "Fight" for our National Sovereignity.
This article says the gunman is dead. The piece below is taken from timesonline, which says he did not die!!
"The gunman himself was shot four times and was reported last night to be unconscious and on a ventilator in a nearby hospital. The female officer said to have shot him is also in hospital."
Many people in the military who serve alongside muslims are now going to be very cautious, to say the least, about their safety.
The recent situation where five British soldiers were murdered by an Afghan policeman, they were helping to train, must heighten fears of radicalised "sleeper" extremists anywhere in the world, where their are muslim colleagues serving alongside them.
The question must be dealt with "Is there a solution to the Afghan conflict, or will it remain a focus for all terrorists who want to continue the fight against western interests and influences?"
