JVeritas might want to take a look at this to verify.

The Camp Liberty shooter was muslim according to BBC Arabic report‏

"BBC Arabic is saying the the Iraqi Army claims that the perpetrator was a Muslim, in fact the Imam at Camp Liberty's mosque..."

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

Peaceful.

Please review the BBC source.

An imam no less.

That was my 1st thought. It is 5/11 after all.

Another victim of 0bama’s illegal war and quagmire that we cannot win. It would be entertaining should he be frogmarched to The Hague.

Send his daughters to Iraq and see how he likes it then!

Well now there’s a forehead-slapper.

I'll defer my comments until such time as we have some authentication of what this report contends...

...but you can guess what I'm thinking.

Yes. Verification is needed before further comment is warranted. If true, it is truly breaking news, with much portent for security in Iraq. I hope JVeritas or another Arabic-speaker can review this in a hurry.

i was pretty sure it was going to be a Muslim. They tried to say they were all in counseling.

[angcat]

He was not a Muslim, I just saw a report on him. He was an American who snapped end of story.

The muslim part was about the shooting that happened a while back with the imam in Mosul, not camp liberty

[rbg81]

Interesting. I thought I heard the guy’s name and it sounded American. Of course, that might not mean much.
If true, look for this story to quickly disappear from the front pages.

I don’t think this is true. His name is Russell, and apparently he was being treated for mental problems. I think we need much more definite proof before crediting this story.

[rbg81]

Yeah, the guys name was John Russell (44). He was an electronics technician, not an Imam. This “report” is bogus.
