This is becoming so scary! I just so many things running around in my mind! I want to believe he acting out of his own volition but it seems to be otherwise! It frightens me to no end this incident and how it could get out of control so quickly if the military has been infiltrated for that purpose! What a cowardly act to attack where young soldiers were being vaccinated! He will forever be a coward and a murderer in my eyes! I saw a picture of a mother clutching the boots and picture of her 19 year old son who was killed! I hope he survives to be executed as well! Shelly

Re: Corbin Dallas: My findings re: non-Muslim terrorism.
Terrorism is a crime against humanity. Human beings irrespective of their religion or ethnicity are capable of committing crimes against humanity.
If you visit the following sites you will find information about Christian terrorism, Hindu terrorism and Jewish terrorism.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_terrorism
http://www.nyu.edu/classes/keefer/joe/reuben.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_religious_terrorism
For the sake of brevity I did not investigate other religions' track records.

In the Old Testament, God ordered the children of Israel to destroy
all these nations and not even have compassion on them because they would pull them in, deceive and seek to destroy them...The children of Israel didn't obey God's direct commands...as a result, these nations survived and now we are seeing the evil results of their existence.
I'm against violence, but have changed my stance recently concerning the extremists. They kill the innocent and have a "convert or die" mentality...plus, they just don't believe in freedom of conscience and religion. See this post here:

When these people do crazy things, we make excuses for them...when our American military does its job, we're considered bullies...give me a friggin break.

Hmmmm.....
I've been looking for incidents perpetrated by a group of "Mad Methodists", "Pissed-off Presbyterians" or "Bombing Baptists".......it's pretty hard to find any examples......but let's look at some
numbers I did find......
Since 9-11 Islamic Terrorist have carried out more than 14363 deadlly terror attacks. During the week from October 31 to November 6, the world has seen 30 Jihad Attacks, accounting for 119 dead bodies, and 230 critically injured.
Perhaps we could see some numbers on Christian terrorists? Anyone?

In no way whatsoever do I go in for making excuses for terrorists. They are criminals and should be treated as such; there are no ifs and buts about it IMO.
However trying, condemning and punishing individual criminals is one thing, but to capitalise on the events to attack their ethnicity or religion is a completely different matter.

Naut, I'm just plain 'scared' of all that's before us ~ blatantly, more and more. The phrase, "to hell in a handbasket" comes to my thoughts lately. I think it is which describes a situation headed for disaster without effort or in great haste. Under the current govt situation, I just feel much dread, trepidation and quite honestly deep sorrow. What a grave mess we're in ~ in my humble opinion --- Elyse

They are counting on we infidels to just keep our mouths shut as they calmly go about murdering citizens all over the wolrd, or getting the brain dead to accept their monstrous religion.

tying all these instances of violence into a nice little "instant jihad" package is well and good, but what's the solution? Pipes is a bit like Michael Moore - he takes a partial truth and extends it into his world-view. I know for a fact that domestic violence and road rage are not religion-specific. If you research the backgrounds of most US serial killers, they'd most likely be some kind of Christian (except for Son-Of-Sam), so does that mean that Christianity breeds mass murderers, too? I'm not an apologist for anyone or entity, and I'm troubled by the possibility of Islamic extremists in our military, but I think that Pipes carries things a bit too far; casting blame without any room for other motivations.

Well who is fostering all this political correctness that causes good people
tobe terrified to speak the truth of a situation. If I understand the article, the World is going to end by feeling sorry for this monster because he had issues? Please. People are dead and injured and traumertized and their lives are changed forever but because the truth can't be exposed this evil is likely to get a light sentence because he had been bullied or some such. Surely it is time to honour the victim of crime.

Years ago when I was a child, we were at my grandma's in the country when a terrible tornado came through. We called them cyclones back then. The house was rattling, window glass was breaking, a large pear tree came down and the chicken house flooded and grandma was out trying to save her chickens so they wouldn't drown. My little sister was so scared that she got down on her knees in a praying position and cried out, "No Chance! No Chance! No Chance!" That's kind of the way all this makes me feel. "No Chance!"
