That's the smiley I just told you about.

You murdered people in Texas. This isn't a state full of leftist liberals. The socialist democrat liberal will want to "listen' to you and give you lots of 'therapy" and try to "understand" you. Texas will fry your ass. I'm glad you survived, now you can face justice [mod edit]. Texas will show no mercy to your heathen ass

As there seems to be very little information being released, how is it you seem to know more than everybody else?

So Flyboy, are you going to

1. Admit you are unable to read.
2. Prove i'm wrong in that Texas is actually a very liberal state and doesn't practice capital punishment. Therapy and rehabilition is a cornerstone of their justice system.
3. Continue to hide behind your cowardice

?

I certainly know more about Texas than you, that's for sure.

Gary, can I ask - why the happy emoticon on that statement? :confused:

Maybe he thinks he will be winning favour with the muslims on the forum (he probably thinks we're all pro this event)

Listening to foreverwar will make you paranoid. it was just a smiley. whether it was on the end of the sentence. below the sentence, or right down the bottom of the page, I think it would still be an issue for someone.

Guys, we are getting reports this thread is getting a little personal. Please calm down.

A picture is beginning to emerge of the suspect, a psychiatrist who was transferred to the Texas base in July.
Reports suggested that he had been increasingly unhappy in the military and that his work at his previous post - Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington DC - had been the subject of concern.
His cousin told US media that Maj Hasan had been opposed to an imminent deployment overseas, describing it as his "worst nightmare".
He also said that Maj Hasan had been battling racial harassment because of his "Middle Eastern ethnicity".
The New York Times said the FBI had been investigating internet postings by a man called Nidal Hasan that appeared to back suicide bombings - but said it was not clear whether it was the suspect.

I wonder if the idea of interning/explusing "5th Columnists" will now start to emerge in the USA?

Early on Friday the commander of the Fort Hood base, Lt Gen Robert Cone, told NBC News that, according to eyewitnesses, the gunman had shouted the Arabic phrase "Allahu Akbar!" [God is great] before opening fire.

It still does not mean that this was a crime motivated by Islam.

Didn't say it was, I don't believe people should be able to get away with trying to justify their actions by hiding behind some God or other.

Excellent - a modern-day version of McCarthyism; that worked so well the first time round.

How would they identify these "fifth columnists", I wonder?

Good question. During WWII, Germans living in the UK were shipped off to the Isle of Man; Japanese living in the USA were sent to special camps (I hesitate to use the word "concentration"). Hmm, I wonder what criteria people would use today?

As l read, he was scared to go to Afghanistan, in that case he is a coward, he trained as an American soldier for pride of his country, and what he did was disgaceful, and does not derserve to be kept alive,.:)

Arthur, are you heading off to Afghanistan any time soon?

Woah he's a coward? He's Muslim and a psychiatrist, if anything he should stay in the USA to help those who come back from the 'war'.
