and one of the guys had explosives in his car and he was running around while on fire
I mean all on fire, i mean his body completely on fire all over
people said he was screaming "Allah" "Allahhhhhhh"
I found that amusing, someone who is completely in fire is able to scream a name

That's why there are experts in charge who know the difference. Thanks for your opinion.

I never once stated he was a victim. I am stating that there are other reasons other then religion as to why he did what he did. I don't think anything he did was right. I don't believe in killing another human being, for revenge or for justice.

I think the point is that everyone is already condemning this guy without knowing all the facts. And the only "facts" we're getting are from the MSM, who are known for sensationalizing stories and swaying public opinion the way they determine it should be swayed.
Fard al-Ayn
In Islamic law, refers to legal obligations that must be performed by each individual Muslim, including prayer, charity, fasting, and pilgrimage. Individual obligation is contrasted with communal obligation (fard al-kifayah). The question of whether the obligation of “reproaching the unjust ruler” or, more generally, the obligation to “command the good and forbid the reprehensible” is an obligation on each individual or can be satisfied by part of the community is debated, particularly among Shii scholars.
Fard al-Kifayah
Defines a communal obligation in Muslim legal doctrine. In juxtaposition to fard al-ayn, fard al-kifayah is a legal obligation that must be discharged by the Muslim community as a whole, such as military struggle; if enough members in the Muslim community discharge the obligation, the remaining Muslims are freed from the responsibility before God. However, if a communal obligation is not sufficiently discharged, then every individual Muslim must act to address the deficiency. In recent Islamic literature, this terminology is used to discuss social responsibility, such as feeding the hungry, commanding good, and forbidding evil.

Once and for all - and I hope you finally understand since you want to keep trying to deflect by bringing other religions into this discussion.
Muslims like this guy do not consider themselves Americans. Their religion and its sharia law supersede all other things.
So, by their own definition, they cannot be both Americans and muslims.
For Christianity and all the other religions mentioned, it is OK to be both..

I see your point. But as others have pointed out, many Christians have killed based on their Christian beliefs (Dr. Tiller's killer for example). I understand those that say it's not the same; however, these people still took their beliefs and used them against others and used them to justify violence against others.
Muslims aren't the only one's who use their beliefs to justify killing others. No one is trying to justify this guys actions. It was monstrous what he did. But there's people in this country and many others from ALL DIFFERENT WALKS OF LIFE let their beliefs cloud their judgment and turn them into monsters. The Fort Hood shooter is no different.
We should all worry about all these types of people. Not just the Muslim extremists.
This thread illustrates what I am talking about: ats.com
A group has come out with a principle that essentially says that anyone threatening the life of an unborn child should be dealt with as if they were putting the life of a born child in imminent danger (i.e. kill them if necessary). IMO, these people are no different than Muslim terrorists, but some would beg to differ.

I don't understand what you mean by "Islam does not worry" about those things.
edit: sounds like you are just as much at war with Islam in your mind as Islam is at war with us. Therefore, all other forms of terrorism are of no consequence to you. That's just my perception. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Ummmm no. I'm not at war with Islam. In case you hadn't noticed we are on the defense.... ummm remember 911? I'm sick and tired of muslims coming into America and killing. I hope everyone is but no.... people on these threads are saying that Islam is peaceful, this could never happen from a muslim, they dismiss this behavior as some freeking phenomena and random case when it's happened over and over and the muslims who commit these crimes admit it is for Islam. WTF? Really how much more simple can I say it?
Yet I'm attacked for being a bigot, racist, insensitive, unaware of Islam, full of hate, blah blah blah. No, I'm sick of muslims using Islamic theology to kill Americans, and they admittedly do. Simple.

19 Saudis were alleged to have carried out 9-11. Alleged because no trials in a constitutional court of law have ever been carried out.Did we attack Saudi Arabia? No we sure didn't. We attacked Afghanistan and Iraq and have killed and maimed hundreds of thousands of innocent people who have never been to America and never attacked us.
Easily manipulated people prone to bigotry and prejudice manipulated by a government run by a Military Industrial Complex out to make a profit off of war. Any war that they can justify to the American people who have to pay for it.
I don't blame the Muslims for being angry over our foreign policy the reality is a lot of thinking, intelligent, decent Americans are angry over our foreign policy too and the fact that 9 years later the Government has never tried one person even in abstentia in a constitutional court of law for the greatest crime ever committed on American soil.

It's a faulty argument you put forth as once again the alleged crimes of the so called Afghani Taliban Government have never been proven in a Court of Law.
In fact the Taliban offered to surrender Bin Laden if the U.S. would provide evidence that Bin Laden was behind the attack.
This is a standard request in civilized nations seeking extradition of wanted criminals all the time.
Of course we had no evidence just as we have no evidence which is why to this day not one trial in regards to 9-11 has ever taken place in American Courts of Law WHERE EVIDENCE IS REQUIRED to try, convict and judge someone.
