Not being one who is afraid to call a spade a spade, I'll wade into this conversation. At this current juncture in our history the only individuals who have been attacked militarily has been via Muslim extremist. I'm not aware of any Jew, or you name the religious sect taking up arms and killing thousands of our people unless you include Congress. Are most Muslims extreme ? probably not however when a religious nut murders an abortion doctor the religious come out in droves to condemn the senseless act of violence being perpetrated on another individual. This does NOT occur in the Muslim community which gives me the sense that they endorse what has transpired. Silence by its own omission is the act of complacency to an action. If one does not speak up for government waste then they endorse that action through their own inaction. It is much the same within the Muslim community. Through there silence they have told me what occurred in Ft Hood was something they condone, and YES this is one American who is ready to say we've had enough get your ASSES back where you belong until such time as you can play within the confines of our American sandbox. Perhaps what we need to do is smear this guy with pig oil and incinerate him and let every Muslim know this will occur to any other senseless attack on any American.
