Is this idiot for Jihad going to be executed or what?

@kretincooper Last I heard a couple of days ago, they are trying to determine what his mental condition was on the day he shot all those people at Fort Hood. That's a waste of time if you ask me, but we have a judicial system geared towards safeguarding the rights of those accused of crimes, and that's how it ought to be. It is annoying, but I wouldn't trade it for any other. There is no room in the system for automatic assumptions of guilt before ALL of the evidence has been looked at.

we don't condemn any country, any religion cause we know there is black-ship in every community....so we should hate the act which is wrong and search for the truth coz bible says " search for the truth, the truth shell free u"

[armyveteran101st]

What we should condemn as a society, (and what I actively condemn personally and vocally), is the fallacy of organized religion. Forget about the Bible and the Quoran, and start living your life based on basic human decency and the Golden Rule. All these bullshit wars are a by-product of religion, and the poison that it represents for the human mind. The day we do away with every religion is the day when a lot of the bad things that confront humanity will cease to exist.

In Afganistan, Iraq, Palestine, Gaza, lots of innocent people including women and kid have been killed, who was the killer? why these innocent women and kids life is so priceless that no one even bother about them but if someone dies in USA then people raise their voice as if this is only the precious soul of the world?

[armyveteran101st]

Who was the killer? The fundamentalist islamic terrorists that use those women and children as human shields, that's who the killer is. More Muslims are killed by Al Qaeda, Hamas, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, and the Taliban than by anyone else in the world, and that's a proven fact.

The extreme fundies (Islamic, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, whatever) do not like the existance of other religions, or lack of religion, or moderate versions of their own faith, and many will do whatever it takes to forcibly destroy them, if possible.

Intolerance is not to be tolerated.

4-Many times Ive been accused of profiling. Its either my training, my healthy and useful paranoia, or my uncanny ability to pick out the right targets. This guys entire lifestyle screamed NUTJOB!!

BTW, as a ceiling fan worshipper I take offense at your allegations. LOL

[armyveteran101st]

Because Muslims have shown a predisposition to engage in violent behavior. That's the difference. I don't see Christians or Jews strapping bombs to their chests and running into crowded shopping malls before making them explode, do you? And the longer that moderate Muslims go without speaking out forcefully against their jihadist brothers and sisters, the more they validate my assessment. Moderate Muslims should be the most interested people in stopping the nonsense islamic jihadists perpetuate.

[cherrybkc]

if the jews and christian people does something then no one condemn the religion rather they condemn that group or individual...but if any muslim does wrong then the religion goes to trial...why is this double standard?

another great clip! and you raise a lot of good points in your clip.

I find that when i was in Indonesia most muslim women don't wear the "hijab" and that they wear normal clothes. Nor in most muslim lands. In Europe and the US the women mosly wear their hijab and sometimes a black or brown robe. I think that the more fundamentalist believers come to the west to be more conservative because some conservative beliefs are not tollerated in their home countries.

GratefulDog, I agree with you to a very large extent. However, I think that, being the civilized people that we are, we have to give people the benefit of the doubt until they prove by their actions that they're not deserving of it. Maybe that entails some pain on our part, but that's what happens to the good guys. I know how prone Islam is to giving rise to extremists, but I don't think we can declare a billion people the enemy just because a few morons decided to take the religion literally.
