tell it like it is, man!

"He must have snapped," Noel Hasan said.

No. Some other Muslim put ideas of jihad into his head.

[thethirddegree]

The real fact is that Muslims simply by virtue of being Muslims cannot be trusted. It’s a death cult and it nurtures hatred of non-Muslims in every single one of its members. He was just acting like a true Muslim, hating life and loving death.

That my friend is the truth. We are beginning to see the full extent of this gutter religion in our beautiful country and I am looking forward to seeing Islam cast into the lake of fire where it belongs.

[AppyPappy]

Muslims will believe any conspiracy theory that makes non-Muslims look bad. Hindus, Christians, the French, everyone conspires against them in their eyes. Their religious leaders feed this paranoia.

I don’t doubt that he wanted out after the US Army furnished him with 8 years of free medical training. He could make a helluva lot more money on the outside. He was trying to wiggle out of his obligation.

[Charles Martel]

I think this article comes down on the side of "lone, psycho, gun nut", rather than "radical Jihadi muslim with a hatred towards the US mission and his fellow soldiers". That's probably the operational template they want to get out there.

Yup. His handing out copies of the Koran and affecting traditional Islamic garb shortly before his bloody rampage are easily swept under the rug - or so the state-run media seems to be betting.

[RayTheSpook]

He couldn’t face the fact that he was alone, it doesn’t matter if he has a stupid belief in anything, he could believe in nothing and still go insane, I’m sure they will nitpick his brain over, but I think it maybe a waste of time, not only are Muslims insane like any religious “belief system” they are particularly dangerous in a Jim Jones kind of cult way. Maybe if got rid of his rigid moralistic paternalistic thinking most of those people would be alive today, he obviously sought a father figure in the military and country and his religion, he wanted somebody to “hold his hand”, in other words a basket case, cause no one was there to really slap him in the face for being such a fool...just a bunch of existential angst...too much to get any fun out of the absurdity of life, so much so he couldn’t laugh at himself from the sound of it, sounds too much like many people that themselves too seriously, what a “cosmic schmuck”!

[NotSoModerate]

Funny how if this guy were white with a name like Smith we wouldn’t see stuff written like this.

[Timeout]

I have a better idea for him:

Since he feared deployment, deploy him.

To Afghanistan.

Make him an “IED DETECTOR”.

[gusty]

You are correct, except it was the Six Day War, not the Yom Kippur War. From 1949 to 1967 Jordan occupied the West Bank, and for 18 years nobody clamored for an independent Palestine there.

[Condor51]

And so it begins... The bleeding heart, leftist, pc bullcarp that, 'society made him do it'.

So instead of prosecuting him when he gets out of the hospital I guess we should through him a ..

'Nidal, We All Love You Party'.

Then afterward we'll have BIG group hug, sing songs and roast marshmallows over a campfire.

Gee, I already feel all warm and fuzzy. I think I'm gonna cry :-(

[BunnySlippers]

Funny. When they get into his computer, they will “get into his head”. What you write, what sites you visit, what you copy from sites ... all of that will tell them what we already know. He was an Islamic extremist.

[grobdriver]

Now there's a plan!

[silverleaf]

ANY military shrink knows the regulations intimately about how to get medically discharged, and honorably. He probably signed the discharge paperwork for many of his own psych patients.

NO, he did NOT “want out”. BS. I refuse to accept this excuse which is comming from his “shocked and saddened” family (who have been sitting in mosques listening to imams preach hatred of the US and Israel for his and their entire lives)

[gusty]

I share your sentiments, but there were attacks in the US post 9/11 under Bush. The MSM just refused to see them. I list just a few, please feel free to expand the list

- Muslim shoots up the El Al counter at LAX
- Muslim shoots up a van of Hasidics on the
Brooklyn Bridge
- Muslim shoots up Jewish Center in Seatle
- Muslim drives car into crowd outside
football game in North Carolina.

[silverleaf]

nah, Barak will invite a bunch of military muslims over to the WH for some sweet mint tea with the JCS so they can lecture the Genrals on how their intolerance drove this latest jihadist to murderous rage of the innocent

[Rummyfan]

He was not a fighter, even as a child and young man. But when he became upset, his face turns red. You can read him in his face."

Geez, if only someone had noticed the red-faced dude in thobe and gutra! GMAFB!!!!!!!!

bosnian “yoot” shoots Valentine shoppers in Utah mall, shouts of Alla Akbar” heard in background on first responder tape

not a hate crime though- move on folks

[kabar]

Medically discharged? What reason could he use? This guy wanted out so he could make more money and he didn't want to go into a war zone. Or...

What he did is not rational unless he is a committed Jihadist who wanted to take out some of the enemy per his remarks on the internet about suicide bombers. Either way, he wanted out and got his wish.
