Fort Hood shootings

[monty]

I have not made any racist comments, I have merely said that the US at the moment is the enemy of Islam, regardless of who live there.

Federal Bureau of Investigation Most Wanted Terrorists

It just surprises me that a nation who over the past 100 years has been very prejudice over who progresses in the military.

I would be interested to hear from Dylan on this, because I always believed that the old school like to remain just that.

That was all I was saying.

What you should be saying is that the western world is the enemy of Islamic miliants......................with your statement you have classed anyone with an eastern sounding name as being anti USA, that to me and any fair minded person is a racist statement.

GoD you are not stupid lad you are just wrong

BBC NEWS | Americas | Deadly shootings at US army base

Gunman is still alive. Shot four times.

Analyze that.

try keep the swine alive for questioning

 

[Seamus Colemole]

I'm not saying anyone is racist, I'm just saying that America has a fear of Islamic people and a person with that kind of name would not go down so well in the US Army. I'm just surprised that is all.

Surely you've disproven your own point in that statement?

I don't think its been a race/terrorist issue, I think its somebody gone completely f*cking mad and done an awful thing.

This.

Well I probably meant sub consciously.

Historically it's been a difficult organisation to get through if your ethnic. That's what I meant.

I know what I meant.

Anyway it does seem the lad was nuts and just went on a rampage.

You only have to look at the reporting to see which way the media are going with this.



Army psychiatrist Nidal Malik Hasan shouted 'Allahu Akbar' as he opened fire

Muslim major in stable condition under armed guard in hospital

Hasan was fervently opposed to War on Terror

The Texas army camp massacre gunman was being investigated for possible links to an extremist website, it has emerged.

Hasan had come to the attention of law enforcement officials at least six months ago because of internet postings that compared suicide bombers to soldiers who throw themselves on a grenade to save their comrades' lives.

Investigators were not certain whether Hasan had written the posts and a formal investigation had not been opened before the shooting, law enforcement sources said.

But authorities have not ruled out that Hasan was acting on behalf of some unidentified radical group. Nor are they ruling out the possibility that some of the casualties were shot accidentally by military officials who responded at the scene.

Nor are they ruling out that it is a guy who has snapped, it would sound better if it was a radical group

OK, I'm gonna make a quick post. Even if the clique (Hi guys) wish to categorise me in a negative manner.

Him being a Muslim major is not a problem as such. The American Army has people of all and no faith. But (hold your breath) if your a muslim major, and if there is suspicion (I'm taking Goats word on the post) that you have been engaged in naughty postings, and if you've made it known that you do not wish to be posted to Afghanistan, surely the only route for you would be;

(a) Court marshall ~ your going to jail boy
(b) Some warning upon proven allegation of your future conduct
(c) Get rid through an honourable discharge

Unless I have more information, nobody can be blamed that he decided to shoot people, its not exactly the normal course of discourse if you disagree with something is it?

If there were known rumblings, seems strange that quiet attempts to move him on weren't made ages ago, but then I am not fully aware of the context, and in all discussion, context is important.

Anyway, hope I have not strayed too far from the subject manner and the rules of the forum.

My post was merely pointing out the way in which the media is reporting it, whether they have been driven to that style by people high up in the US, im not sure, but as soon as his name was known and his religion, questions where always going to be asked.

If thats racist, so be it, but if we where at war with Italy and some fella called, Roberto Del Piero went on a rampage in an army base, questions would also be asked there.
