| #5 We don't need members of a religious sect in our military when their so-called holy book tells them to kill us. I heard there are some 5,000 of them in the military and, for that, we just lost 13 soldiers. They are not worth the risk. Boot them all out before somebody else gets killed. I don't care how much they profess to love our country. I don't give a rat's ass how exemplary their service may or may not be because nobody knows which one of them will be the next to go off the rails. Get them out. What's more important, the political considerations or the lives or our service members? OK, don't answer that. I have a bad feeling that I already know the answer. Further, they knew he was in contact with a militant imam in Yemen. Think about it: in the bad old days of the cold war if an army major was in unauthorized, unsupervised contact with a known KGB operative what would have happened? |

| #4 And, by the way, the authorities and Congress have been aware of the above organization's 'disturbing connections to terrorism' for more than 6 years. Feel safe, now? |

| #3 What happened is not a “tragedy” but a national scandal, already fading from view. And this will continue to be the case as long as there are those who perpetuate the myth that there are 'good' Muslims. Face it, folks. There aren't. Islam is a religion of violence, hatred and death. Here's what the The American Muslim Armed Forces and Veteran Affairs Council had to say about the massacre. Please see if you can spot the 'problem' with this statement: "The American Muslim Armed Forces and Veteran Affairs Councail (AMAF and VAC) condemns in the strongest terms the attack on soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas resulting in the murder of at least a dozen soldiers and the wounding of many others. We express our deepest condolences to the victims and their families. We join the Community of Fort Hood, Texas in their mourning. Islam holds the human soul in high esteem, and considers the attack against innocent human beings a grave sin. This is a criminal act that is now best dealt with by the law enforcement community." |

| #2 Again, Mr. Steyn is spot on to the issue at hand. We have the same people campaigning to allow the moslem call to prayers blasted over loud speakers suing to prevent the display of a cross on public property. And we have the same people fretting over a condor egg and the value of that life supporting abortion on demand. I am rereading Nicholai Machiavelli's "The Prince" it is not some devious book of chicanery and evil spells, it is a treatise on diplomacy in hostile world. One quote, early in the book stands out. I wish Obama would read that book instead of that papp and drivel he reads. Nicholai said: "Ignoring discord to avoid war only delays the war to your disadvantage." |

| #1 The thing nobody talk about, is that---prior to rampage---Nidal haven't done anything most US muslims haven't done. |
