I have lost hundreds of friends to terrorism and I do not vilify a religion (though I used to). Those who choose to hate have only themselves to blame for that hate, and only harm themselves in that hate...

	That's consistant with what I've read. I did see where he had become more devout in recent years though.

That's the problem. Muslims aren't a threat until they "get religion." Same goes with radicals of any faith, but Islam's call to jihad is infinitely more persuasive because of it's prevalence in the Qu'ran. It's easily perverted into violent action by radical Imams. A "devout Muslim" is a ticking time bomb and the more "devout" the Muslim, the shorter the fuse on the charge.

His name should tell ya something. I know that's "profiling" but maybe profiling would or could curb such acts of "terrorism". You watch, this is ain't the last time this will happen. You will probably see a rash of it like the college shootings and "going postal". The reason I put quotation marks around "terrorism" is because regardless of his religious beliefs it filled everyone's life with terror who was involved.

And btw, Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through him.

Just curious...

What do the names Timothy McVeigh, Eric Robert Rudolph, Terry Nichols, Ted Kaczynski, Dylan Harris, and Eric Klebod tell you?

Calling a religion and its followers out for what they are is hate? If it is, I thought it was ok to hate evil.

Explaining it again won't help...

In an interview with The Washington Post, Hasan's aunt, Noel Hasan of Falls Church, Va., said he had been harassed about being a Muslim in the years after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and he wanted to get out of the Army.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
From my previous post:

So he was harassed - poor baby. People are harassed all the time and they don't go out and murder people because of it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I meant to say this just to lighten things up:

We harass each other in here everyday. Lol!!!
