I was wondering when they would get around to blaming Jerry Falwell and the Christian Right.
"He recently won an essay contest for a U.S. Institute of Peace scholarship."
It used to be that when we read something like this, we'd say "truth is stranger than fiction."
Now we just say "it figures."
The seed fell on some hard rocky ground, withered and died.
I didn't know the P-I had to be excerpted. Newspaper and broadcast station websites tend to be hell on dial-up users, for the tons of graphics they lard up on their sites.
"Whether you got dunked or sprinkled, if you don't know Jesus, you just got wet."-Mark Lowry
He's a lunatic.
His defense is laying the groundwork for insanity.
Word for the day: Horsefeathers..
IIRC, the first thing he said was, "I'm an American muslim, and I'm angry at Israel."
Jews are not a Christian's enemy. Christians are not a Jew' enemy. He told us what he is. Why don't we believe him?
btw, he started his rampage with the words, "I am a Muslim-American..." He didn't say Pakistani-American or Christian-American.
He said MUSLIM-AMERICAN..
Backslider.
Wonder if he planned it to commit suicide by cop since in Islam conversion to Christianity is a death sentence.
Maybe Mr. Imam let him know that the only way out of Islamic Hell and then guarantee an entry into Islamoheaven was to declare himself a muslim again and then kill some jews and maybe martyr himself in the process.
The 9/11 hijackers also did all they could to blend in with western culture including things that are strictly forbidden in islam. They went to strip clubs and bars etc. Apparently nothing is off limits as long as it ends with the slaughter of infidels in the name of allah. (feces be upon him)
So? He was a nut case.
I had heard early on that he HAD been Lutheran then converted to Islam....so which media is LYING??
Key point mentioned in the article.
He may have been baptized, but it's clear he wasn't a Christian.
In reality, the word kitman comes from the verb katama, which means to hide, to conceal.
As it appears from the different English equivalents of the word, it touches on so many aspects - some of which are good and others are bad.
Starting with the good aspects, we can say that a good type of kitman (concealment or hiding) is when you hide things still in process till they are complete. In our life, we may meet people who look with a malevolent eye to what we have, who are jealous that we have this and that, who are envious that we are blessed with this and that. Driven by their envy, hatred and dark intentions, they may plot for us or weave some traps. In order to be saved from their traps, we should keep hush-hush on things that are still in preparation. To this type of hiding, kitman is the best policy. In this regard, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, says in the hadith: “Seek fulfillment for things you want to finish inkitman.”
He himself gave the best example of such a type in the early days of Islam. When the number of Muslims was still small and the community was still weak, there was a big need for concealment or secret call (kitman) so as to save the cause of da`wah (inviting people to Islam) from the fierce enemies.
So what? So was Adolf Hitler.
