FoxNews slams Military: Major Label of Sniper is "Army Vet" NOT "Islamic Sniper"
Fox News, 01:00 AM (NewsBreak)

Posted on 10/24/2002 10:18:49 PM PDT by xzins

This is outrageous!

The truth is that

1. Islamics blew up the World Trade Center
2. Islamics blew up a wing of the Pentagon in which many members of the ARMY died.
3. Islamics blew up the USS Cole in which US military died.
4. Islam is the issue with Al Quaeda and Bin Laden.

This man is JOHN MUHAMMED, an Islamic who was "sympathetic" to the 9/11 terrorists.

He's been out of the Army for years. He never received specialized training in sniping in the Army. He DIDN'T MAKE IT in the Army.

But the lead is: "Army Vet"

As a 20 year Army retiree, I deeply resent this, but I resent even more the politically correct culture that makes it impossible to call an islamic terrorist an islamic terrorist.

Like many others, you seem to feel that since you personally hadn't seen or heard something then it didn't happen. So who's the jerk?

Please enlighten me as to which sub-groups of Catholics and Jews call for sniping, bombing, flying airplanes into skyscrapers, etc.

Ever heard of the IRA or the Stern Gang? Those are just a couple of the most famous. There are other smaller and less well-known groups.

John Wayne Gacey didn't claim to kill people for Jesus.

I'm not aware of either of these two claiming they were killing for Mohammed,either. They were definitely killing for profit,and quite likely for kicks.

Son of Sam didn't shoot young women for Jehovah.

See the above.

Neither Gacey or Sam were emulating role models from their local place of worship, or following instructions from a leader.

Neither were either of these two murderers. Don't let this get in the way of your much desired "Holy War",though. I just wish you and others would be more honest about it,and admit you just want a excuse to kill members of a competing religious cult.

Different, obvously, different. Islamic Terrorist.

Yeah,they talk and dress different than the Christian or Jewish terrorists,but the end result and goals are the same.

being originally from the south, this muhammed guy may have gone into the military ALREADING KNOWING how to point a rifle, and hit a target. Coming illegally from Jamaica, the young guy came here to steal from others, and yes, there are islamic REBELS in Jamaica, too!
The islamic movement proselytizes where it can, and forces you into the movement WHERE IT CAN.
the streets of Detroit, and other liberal black bastions, have many more islamists seeking the destruction of our country's way of life. Who is going to stop them? PC only stops us!
It may be nothing more than their jealousy that some have been able to do something with their lives, while others were dealing drugs, and cutting classes. It may be that these are just greedy, evil beings (not people).
A recent post on this site shows what happens when someone labels blacks in the schools as being the largest single source of disruption. He lost his job for telling truth, and not following the RAT PC!
Bigotry is also NOT allowing TRUTH!

Are you sure a bank would even accept a credit transfer like this,KNOWING that the transfer will be challenged in court as being made under stress? They

the bank would have it assured by the government.

John Mu'Mad would keep shooting people until the transaction cleared. Who was he connected to who would send the message, "transaction cleared."

He's an African-American follower of Louis Farrakhan. If I were to use the voting stats from the last election, I'd be hard pressed NOT to bet that any random african american doesn't vote democratic....it was like 93% for the Dem's.

Thanks for the ping...I agree with you wholeheartedly and when hubby got home from slaving away on recruiting duty last night I told him I was really irritated at the way this guy's vet status was being reported. The implication that his Army service was the reason behind his murdererous spree just burns me up to no end!!

Especially the fact that they keep saying over and over he was stationed at Ft. Lewis which is a "major sniper training center" even though this guy never received sniper training and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the Army doesn't even have a sniper school at Lewis (I thought they were at Benning and Bragg). Then they're making a big deal over his expert marksman badge.

This guy has been out of the Army for 7-8 years!! Hubby is an expert marksman and was a sniper/AT section sgt in 3rd Ranger Batt and I don't see him running around killing people! This guy was a whacko Muslim with a grudge against his own country and evidence has been reported that he was not exactly a stellar soldier anyways. His service in the Army has nothing to do with his rampage anyways, IMO.

Are they all super-tangos direct from Osama's cave? Probably not.

What's with all this "tango" crap? I keep seeing it more and more. Can't you people speak English?

They are however the reason we MUST deport all illegal Moslems in the U.S.,

"Illegal" is the only reason we need to deport them,as well as the illegal alien Mexican Catholics,voo doo followers from Haiti,heathens from Holland,etc,etc,etc. I don't give a damn about their religion or lack of religion. If they are illegal aliens,they need to be deported,period!

and review the immigration status of all legal ones for ties to Wahhabi and other Jihadist organizations, and threat the radical Mosques like we treat skinhead Christian Identity neo-Nazi "churches."

I'm in total agreement with this,but unfortunately,the Christian Identity people seem to be all home-grown. We can' t deport them. Then again,there ain't billions of them running around,either. The fact remains we don't need any special justification to deport foreigners who are members of any organization whose goals are to overthrow the US Constitution and our Republican form of government. Their philoposy alone is all the justification we need. Good riddance to bad trash.

Exactly....your family is another example of the awesome Americans who regularly defend this nation and regularly die for it.

This guy couldn't even make it....dishonorable discharge.

There are far, far more like your husband than like this dirtbag John Mu'Mad.

And I am not trying to denigrate the black community as a whole, just stating the fact that the pervasive culture in the inner city is more towards self-indulgent excesses of drugs and rampant abusive sex.
The music spawned by this culture has pervaded the airwaves, and now our young children want to emulate these thugs, and self-proclaimed 'gangstas'.
Sorry, I was raised in a military household, on and around military bases, most of the time. I lived next door to all races in our enlisted community, and the blacks, whites, hispanics, filipinos, and others that were my friends and neighbors, had a similar mindset.
Respect for the other person has always been at the top of the list. But when a group is dominated by disrespect and animous toward me based on my race and religion, I can only respond to them with a kind word, and keep my guns warm!
Today, it seems that many, of the blacks (and other minorities) in power, do all they can to harm the country, and create more schisms in our homes and communities. I can only reach out to those around me, and pray with them that this will not be the way we end it!
I hope to be at the Washington Monument tomorrow, and hope there will be many of our "minority" represented. That includes WASP's!
Follow the money!
Money is power!
State truth, and don't back up!

Don't let your desire for peace get in the way of reality. John Wayne Gacey didn't change his name to John Wayne Elijah or Jesus or have any other such epiphany. They also didn't train at a JudeoChristian terrorist training camp. They didn't claim to be sympathetic toward mass murders done in the name of faith...and sad to say, there were a quite a few judeochristian examples to point to before 911 back through history

The truth is, the investigators likely know why they did what they did, but we don't have all the facts. Still not time to start on your personal jihad against religions, and maybe hard realities in general.

Unless of course, you are ready to proclaim with the latest Islamic terrorist "I am God".

No they wouldn't. Any government that would agree to do something like this would be comitting political suicide. Since there is NOTHING any gooberment in the world lusts after more than their own survival,this wouldn't happen.

The international banking community isn't really all that big. These guys all know one another,and they all are in business with the various governments. There is no way they would allow themselves to be involved with something like this unless given private assurances behind the scenes. They don't approve of any fraud or extortion that doesn't benefit them.

>>>Must say I'm surprised at the negative posts you got.

I was surprised too.

There seems to be quite a few FReepers lately, who've allowed their emotions to get the better of them and confronting others is their outlet to vent.
