A friend of mine is stationed at Ft. Hood, I called him when I found out what was going on, he was a couple miles away when it happened. I heard one of the shooters names was Major Malik Nadal Hasan.

A witness says the shooter that was shot down was shouting in Arabic. I think we can now safely assume this might have something to do with terrorists.

I'm aware that there are people who speak Arabic that are not terrorists, but usually when someone of Middle Eastern descent goes on a killing spree somewhere in the US while shouting Arabic, 9 times out of 10 its a Islamic terrorist. Three soldiers do not just up and decide today is a good day to start killing people.

Yeah, they are trying to blame the whole thing on terrorism, calling the shooter a "Terrorist". And to the people who automatically assume terrorism and make fun of or call out every foreign sounding name, "Hey shit head's, your "terrorist" had no trouble joining your "army". Go die." This may very well be a completely domestic problem that has nothing to do with terrorism. A lot of people refuse to believe problems like this originate right here. This shit is awful and it saddens me, but is most likely as American as apple pie.

So we know now that this guy was a Muslim. He had been telling his co-workers for weeks that "every Muslim should stand up against the Americans", but no, this was not religiously motivated. No terrorist activity.

People do exist that speak Arabic and aren't terrorists. I wouldn't rule anything out, but it just doesn't seem like a terrorist attack.

Wow! Thank you for your insight!, but I am pretty sure that when someone goes on a killing spree on unsuspecting people it is a act of terrorism. You don't have to be a card carrying member of Al Qaeda or be joined to the hip with Osama Bin Laden. Hell you can even be from the US! Timothy McVeigh is considered to be a terrorist.

The gunman and the two other people apprehended in connection with the shootings are soldiers. Don't make this about terrorism especially if it just isn't.

Don't make this about terrorism? See above.

Yeah, this is absolutely crazy. I can't wait for my extreme right-wing mother to gossip about more "evil terrorism".

Those stupid rightwingers and their god damn warrantless wire taps! LOL
Everytime something like this happens, people try to downplay what is really going on. A group of muslim converts were caught in my state plotting a big attack on American civilians and people in the media said things like "these aren't terrorists, these are just unorganized thugs". They had been traveling to Pakistan off and on for the last two years.

He was also born in the U.S. and was a Major. Somehow I doubt this was an Islamic terrorist attack.

Okay, well then how would you describe what happened? Was he a Muslim? Was the place he opened fire at a location where people were coming back from their tours in Afganistan & Iraq? Did he tell the people he worked with that "Muslims need to take a stand against the U.S." Your right, there is no way this could be Islamic terrorism.

You people are so worried about being PC that you can't even admit the obvious. I don't have that flaw. I know who the enemy is and I'm not afraid to call them what they are, Islamic extremists, Muslim jihaidist nutjobs.
