Muslims at fort express outrage and ask questions

Islam is both in this Islamic world. Islam is both a government and a religion that is not compatible with democracy. Every time an Islamic person goes postal it is for religious reason as it was displayed in his cries as he began to kill his trusting comrades.

The Islams seem to have a difficult time adjusting and assimilating in to the american democratic process and turn to their religious government and beliefs to counter wrong doings. Although the whole Islamic community was not involved, it still leaves each man to act as his own government entity to act on any offensive personal infraction and to harm all that he accuses. It's like this religious government is an individual tribe and each can react without the consent or approval of others. Also others cannot interfere with other individuals acts of retribution. Peace among the Islamic government community is only for as long as they permit it.

only part of this story. If this guy didn't want to be deployed they why was he in the military to begin with? Being a Major, there is such a thing in the military as an officer resigning his commission. It seems to me he was looking for the "3 hots and a cot" benefits of being taken care of by the military, but when it came time for him to repay the system by being deployed he was incapable of fulfilling his side of the agreement.

I call that using the system.

Anyone with common sense, regardless of their religion, in the military has got to realize that soldiers are sent to where they are needed. The military is all volunteer - joining was his choice.

As to the comparison made about a white person "going postal" that makes little sense and is stereotypical and racist.

If a white person started yelling, essentially in his last words, loud references to his God and to his religion, while gunning down innocent people, his religion would be brought into question as well.

If anyone feels that picked on they should take up residence elsewhere.

Get yourself educated!! I suspect that you don't know any Muslim's but only what you hear in the news. This was the act of a man, not a religion.

"Leaders of the Muslim community here expressed outrage Friday at the shooting rampage being laid to one of their members, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan..."

If Muslims are so outrages one would think they would stop teaching to hate and kill Americans, Jews, and Christians in their madrasahs.

@Not a religion 11:02 a.m.:

"This was the act of a man, not a religion."

He made it a religion by hollering "Allahu Akbar" "Allahu Akbar" as he was firing his gun, a religious expression that Muslims use when they fight against the infidel.

This man, who happened to be Muslim, did a terrible thing. Because he claimed to do it in the name of his religion, his whole religion is being blamed and viewed negatively.

However, when individuals, who happen to be Mormon, do terrible things - even if they claim to be doing them in the name of their religion - we are "attacking" all Mormons if we so much as comment on the fact that that individual was a Mormon.

Not all Muslims act the way this man did. Not all Muslims think it is okay to hate. Many Muslim Imams preach against actions such as this man took.

Perhaps we should stop attacking Islam and focus on the individual who committed the crime - regardless of his religion.

Was "Do your duty!" Mormons call to murder gentiles at Mountain Meadows? How, those whose religion has events that some try to use to convict the religion at large, do the same thing to another religion is amazing.

My ancestor Neiph was at Mountain Meadows that day. Before I quickly attack others I look at my own history and I find answers. The answer I came to was people with hatred of your religion will wrap events to justify their hatred of your religion. Most Mormons, as with most members of my family have never attacked anyone.

If it bothers you to have people targeting the LDS religion because of a single violent act may you should do unto others has you wish they treated you.

This was an act of a man, not religion. However, if that man is expressing anti-american language, then he should never be serving our country. And those expressions should have been investigated, we are so worried about being called racism. When we don't look into such expressions, this is the end result!
