John B: I'm gonna repectfully disagree a bit with your assessment..maybe just add a little. The media has NEVER covered these stories as they should. Past and present media reports on these terrorist acts go out of their way not to possibly give any hint of middle eaatern and/or Muslim/Islamic. I will go so far as to say they hide the fact. Unfortunately, when the main stream media doesn't report these atrocities quickly as being committed by middle eastern/Muslim/Islamic people, the public then can become desensitized, as you say. How many AMericans listen to enough good news sources to even today realize the havoc these folks are reaking on our society? I'm guessing very few. In the mean time they grow stronger and bolder. Then you throw in govt leaders and a liberal society that has become so obscessed with political correctness...well..... Ft. Hoods happen! Then people cry out "WTF?" People look in the mirror! One more story has been lost the past few months. How many of these type of plots have been foiled by our govt intelligence? There was one in Texas and another in Chicago. Many more I cannot name off the top of my head. And what was/is the great intel and programs used to stop these acts? It wasn't provided over the past 10 months. It was from Bush intelligence policies of yrs past that the left wingers so critisized. PELOSI!!!!! The futher away we get from the Bush intelligence programs, the more you will see innocent AMerican citizens killed. Thanks left wingers and especially b.o.! The blood of these 13 soldiers and the 30 injured is directly on YOUR hands. When will you wake up? I doubt ever. November 2, 2010..America...November 2, 2010!!!!

Unfortunately these "honor killings" are becoming so common (almost accepted) that the media provides minimal coverage of the events - and when we do hear about these atrocities, we are so desensitized that it really doesn't surprise us. Neal Bortz (talk radio host) could rattle off a fairly long list of insanities committed in the name of Allah, including "Muslims shoot school children in the back as they are trying to flee". What really puzzles me is why so many American Black Males (born and raised in our Christian, Western Culture) are drawn to Islam. Perhaps Mr. Pitts could explore this topic for us.

Perhaps people should watch the tv series V, for a little wake up call. Unfortunately we have THESE beings in our real world today. They are called Muslims and Democrats. I'm sure it will take a while for the "V people" to start kiling off the earthlings, but you know (anyone with any intelligence) that it's coming. Pretty much sums up the b.o. and Muslim world....sooner or later the grim reaper is gonna come.

I'll be quite frank here. Muslims scare the hell out of me. Ft. Hood, this story, the girl who fled to FL for turning to Christianity and feared for her life. They are, in my opinion, radical extremists who are brain washed from birth on all in the name of Allah. I don't want them here. I don't see how any good can come of it. If they proclaim to be so peaceful, why don't they have these radicals who are popping up in the news under control? I think we're just starting to see the tip of the iceberg here folks, now that we've got a few million (or more?) here how are we going to protect ourselves? They're in our communities and we welcomed them with open arms. Better dust off your guns.

There will come a time, and it may not be too distant, that the silent people of this "religion of peace" had better take control and expose all the radicals or western civilization will just have to kill them all. There is a "silent majority" in this country that are no longer buying into the PC crap the media is reporting about these jehad's and mercy killings taking place right here in America. We can't afford to let the liberal ignorance destroy our country and get us all killed.

THis is not a clash of cultures..it is premeditated murder by a religion (I use that word loosely) that has no regard for life, worships martyrism & death and is out to destroy Christainity, Judiism and America. It (Islamic fundamentalism) has to be put in it's place or kick them out of America. Are all you P.C. idiots happy yet? If not, see "FT. Hood islamic terrorist murder!" Do you think it will stop there? Not even close....they have only begun. Maybe next time it will be your son or daughter who is killed. ANd for you Muslim's who say, "these violant people are only a small part of our PEACEFUL religion".......I say "then prove it....get your religion under control, because right now all I see is murder and mahem!" Why is your silent majority standing by so silently?!! I know the answer...because ven you, the Muslim nation, are scared to death if you speak out, they will KILL YOU too!
