ORT CAMPBELL, Ky. -- When Ihsan Bagby, who advised Islamic soldiers stationed here, heard that a Muslim soldier, Asan Akbar, was accused of rolling grenades and spraying gunfire into his superiors' tents, killing two and wounding 14, he was more saddened than shocked.

How many of these timebombs are ticking? I think that's the relevant question.

''I've taught many children, thousands I would say, and this is the first time one has gotten charged with something like this... And the exception proves the rule? And this man has kept track of all the children he taught?
Given this Islam soldier's "joking statements," he didn't have to worry about forced reenlistment. Oh, and he blocked off his "advancement opportunities" with those jokes, too. Any way I look at it, that man is resposible for all of his woes. He deserves the full measure of the punishment.

The guy is 31. The teacher remembers him at age 8 as being too shy to participate in a potato sack race?? Yeh, right.
What you are like at 8 as related to one minor event has no correlation with a major event you invoke at age 31.

cool name. My kids love your dollar!
It is important to understand the national weapon of the Arabs is the short, hook bladed knife. The culture admires someone who can dissemble, who can get themselves so trusted by the victim that they are allowed to get close, close enough to engage in private conversation, close enough to touch. Then the aggressor pulls his knife and drags it through the kidney in a surprise attack. Perfidity is the highest virtue to which this "nation of sheep stealers" can aspire. This is cultural, not religious, a hold over of pre-islamic pagan culture in the desert. It is most prevalent in the "great families".
On the other hand, the common people are not ambitious, and are trustworthy, truly submissive to Allah, and hope by kindness and charity to earn the love of their G-d, and at least show a good example. Jihad as it should be.
In true Jihad, one fights against one's own weakness far more than you seek to damage an enemy. In true Jihad, as practiced by Saladin, one wins over an enemy by superior virtue, by manners, as much as by the damage that you can cause.
The difference? Faith. The common people have faith in G-d. The ambitious wannabe leaders feel the need to help G-d by using the tools of Satan.

What kind of horrific action does it take for one of these damn Muslims to condemn the crimes of one of their own???
Answer? Nothing ever justifies the condemnation of one Muslim of the crimes of another when they are committed against an "unbeliever".
This entire incident illustrates:
a) The unreliability of Muslims masquerading as Americans
b) the blatant racism of the major media in not giving this issue the coverage it would have enjoyed had the culprit looked like Timothy McVeigh, in which case, no doubt, they would have run huge articles on "militia groups infiltrating the U.S. armed forces.
