Why is everyone overlooking the reports the bloke was shouting "Allahu Ackbar"? as he did the shootings?
Because it wouldn't be politically correct for us to point it out...

He really was, you sure about that? I'm guessing that substantiates the fact that we Muslims are going to reak havoc everything we should "God is the greatest" in Arabic yeah?

We shall see if this is true. But being Muslim more than likely had something to do with it. But it raises yet another question. The entire purpose of this "War" is to establish democratic governments (Read our puppets) over there and that by imposing such governments, it will leaven them into our idea of being civilized. This guy is native born and never deployed. If our society cannot leaven our own kind over here, how can our puppet governmets do it over there?

So being a Muslim is the reason this guy went crazy and started killing people? If that's the case, how come more of us aren't going around killing people? Are we somehow ignoring a certain obligation of Islam that I never heard of?

And to sign over your oil to us. In WW2, we forced Britian to sign over all thier gold reserves and pay back every penny we spend in that war. A British Officer informed me that this war debt was finally paid off in 2005.

Great in ones own eyes is the ultimate act of arrogance. What does Christ have to say about such arrogance?
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
So being a Muslim is the reason this guy went crazy and started killing people? Why would you believe it was a case of him going crazy? Ho do you know he simply defected?
If that's the case, how come more of us aren't going around killing people? Are we somehow ignoring a certain obligation of Islam that I never heard of?
In case you are blind, we as a ntion are going crazy and killing each other.
Our murder rate speaks for its self.

Pro 6:16 These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him:
Pro 6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Pro 6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
Pro 6:19 A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
He had also more recently expressed deep concerns about being sent to Iraq or Afghanistan. Having counseled scores of returning soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder, first at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington and more recently at Fort Hood, he knew all too well the terrifying realities of war, said a cousin, Nader Hasan.
“He was mortified by the idea of having to deploy,” Mr. Hasan said. “He had people telling him on a daily basis the horrors they saw over there.”
Here's the thing I don't understand though. Why did you go shoot a bunch of fellow soldiers just because you don't want to be deployed? He had to know he was most likely going to be killed. Why not just kill yourself and be done with it...why take so many people with you? Just doesn't make sense. Only makes sense really if you throw into the equation that he might have done this to go out as a martyr for his faith.
