As they should be.

If this were a Christian, who engineered this massacre of horror, and Christians, were standing with the victims, the idiot liberals like ratifarts and massberries on this site would still be calling for their heads. Hypocrite losers.

I am pleased and relieved that Muslims are standing with the victims. I believe there are good Muslims. I blame the idiot shooter, not an entire religion. Unfortunately, this horror was committed by a radical, as do so many, almost daily we read of horror attacks by the radicals of Islam. Sick.

I believe that many American Muslims are aware that they, too, could be victims of Islamic jihadists such as this man. Look at the Sunnis and Shiites. The Taliban and al-Qaeda. They have no qualms about killing, no slaughtering, each other. America has Freedom of Religion as a foundation stone of our Law; not so within the Islamic world.

Supposing he did it for religious reasons (and I don't know that to be the case) it would be yet another case of religious driven violence.

Has this not been going on for centuries? And who cares if a Muslim did it, or a Jew did it, or a Christian did it. What's the damn difference?

The modern world faces the same problem as the ancient world with regards to religion. When we mentally grow up and get a clue, the human race will be safer and more rational.

Ps. 19:
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.

Ps. 14:
1 The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God."

I blame the idiot shooter, not an entire religion.

Is that why you made a clip calling for the bombing of Mecca, clip-on?

“Most Muslims that do join the Army are Americans first,” he said, “and they're there to protect their country first.”

I hope this is true, however I have my doubts. I spent a year around the Iraqi people - to them religion always comes first, over law or anything else. I simply do not trust a people who kill indiscriminately believing it to be sanctioned by their god. Even many of those transplanted here can not abandon their medieval religious based traditions that include the murder of their spouse or children on religious grounds.

Over there, perhaps. But American Muslims by and large have not been "transplanted here," but are born here and grow up in American culture.

It really does not matter where they were born, it is how they are raised, what their Imams are teaching them in their mosques, what they really believe in. Was Major Hasan, who was born here, indoctrinated into radical Islam after he joined the Army, or before? It really makes little difference, what matters is that according to some witnesses this dirtbag hollered Allah Akbar before he started firing. This guy was a nut regardless of where he was born, his actions spoke his true beliefs, nothing but an Islamic terrorist - a home grown one at that.

I'm not sure how your comment should be taken negatively. Religion doesn't teaches anyone to kill or commit murder and it doesn't teaches anyone to go against the law.

Everyone interprets religion differently, its nice to hear something positive like this. ~

Like Yoda said: ~hate leads to anger, and anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering~

Religion doesn't teaches anyone to kill or commit murder and it doesn't teaches anyone to go against the law.

'Religion doesn't teach anyone to kill or commit murder...' That statement is about the craziest I've seen concerning Islamic terrorists. Google Islamic terrorists, or Radical Imams, or terrorist acts in the name of Islam. Get real!

The Quranic term 'Jihad' means, "Holy
fighting in the Cause of Allah or any other kind of effort to make
Allah's Word (i.e. Islam) superior. Jihad is regarded as one of the
fundamentals of Islam."

You have no clue. I wouldn't want to waste my time on this debate if your source of knowledge on Islam is Google!

dl211 : "I simply do not trust a people who kill indiscriminately believing it to be sanctioned by their god."

So this is your response to one guy who cracked and killed 12 people. What your response to George W Bush who heard voices (God he said) to go and kill Muslims, so he went and killed 100 000 innocent Iraqis?

There is very little difference between the American Religious Right with their concept of a "Just War" and that of the Taliban with their "Holy War" - except that the Americans are responsible for many more deaths than the Taliban.

Google is a search engine - you can find all sorts of things there, even some legitimate news articles.
However if Daily KOS and Media Matters probably suits your needs just fine.
