Why army only?By: Jas | Saturday , 7 Nov '09 17:10:17 PM Reply | Forward If muslims think they are all brothers and mistrust every body else, how can they be trusted(or should they be trusted) by others anywhere else, let alone the army. People of the world must understand that Islam justify the killing of non-believers/infidels.

sadBy: moobi | Saturday , 7 Nov '09 10:59:18 AM Reply | Forward I scan the posts and can't help but see a pattern: the posters just can't keep their own biases and self-interests out of their opinions. i can't help but feel sadness for this lot who descended from the Greats who gave us the ancient philosophies.

RELIGIOUS BIGOTRYBy: CDA KUNJU | Saturday , 7 Nov '09 8:30:19 AM Reply | Forward Sir, 1. Truly a tragic incident where a misguided/or indoctrinated psyhicatrist resorting to massacre the hapless and the innocents. Unfortunately, this gentleman considers his religion is everything and ready to sacrifice his life for the perceived notion of religious persecution.If this is the mindset of a highly qualfied professional doctor that's too, a psychiatrist what would be the feelings of an unlettered person. Killing in the name of God whom they consider as the supreme one!

US Army major kills 12By: Shadi Katyal | Saturday , 7 Nov '09 6:40:17 AM Reply | Forward Any time when a person forgets that he is first a citizen of a nation and his religion is very personal, this kind of incidents will happen over and over.This man was educated on US citizen tax money and if he felt so righteous he should have resigned. One cannot understand that how religion played more important part. It is not true that he was taunted or given any hard times but being a Muslim he must have been asked in his mosque as he went in uniform for prayer that how could he fight for the infidel. He was there to heal others and yet he could notheal himself. as long as we continue3 to put our religion ahead of everything else this kind of incidents will happen.It is a challenge to humanity to either accept the nation you belong to be loyal or be first a Muslim and than American. we are seeing the same situation in India with Deobundi passing Fatwa on Vande Matram and we all must dig deep into our thinking on this matter. Vande Mateem is not national anthem but homage to mother

Ban the Hate LiteratureBy: Village Boy | Saturday , 7 Nov '09 5:18:01 AM Reply | Forward If a country so rich, free and fair as America cannot win the loyalty of the true believers of the "religion of peace", what hope India could have winning over the hearts of multitude of millions of infidel-haters, multiplying exponentially as anywhere else. It is about time to quarantine the believers in the caves of Afganistan and the deserts of middle east, to the save the civilized humanity form the mental disease called Islam. The source of the islamic virus, Koran must also be banned to stop the spread of the virus. The merciful guy in the sky who arranges for 72 virgins for a believer who blow-up infidels, should be renamed as 'dalal'.

Religion of peace strike againBy: jas | Saturday , 7 Nov '09 4:27:28 AM Reply | Forward So what is new?

Jai HindBy: R J Bhatia | Saturday , 7 Nov '09 3:21:16 AM Reply | Forward I dont understand why are we so worried about a few American soldiers. I have not seen such solidarity shown for our own men. Kindly stop this drama and stop behaving as more loyal than the king. Jai Hind.

Be Ethical and not ReligiousBy: Ethical Governance | Saturday , 7 Nov '09 0:20:35 AM Reply | Forward Extreme in any religion brings fanaticsm and those who follow them are narrowed in their perceptions, arrogant, intolerant, racist of course, manipulators, deceivers, murderers and end up being a "Cults". We have varieties of them in India, and surprisingly those who have sent them here, have banned them in their own countries. When you see this world, it is these "Cults" who are destroying this world. Lets be Ethical and not Religious and save this world." A man's Ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education and social ties;no religious basis is necessary". (Albert Einstein)

KIller majorBy: PS.Nair | Friday , 6 Nov '09 23:15:43 PM Reply | Forward This Major's family was given shelter and livelihood in USA and this man was born, brought up and educated by the American tax payers. He was educated as a doctor by the US Army. It is his responsibility to serve that nation, instead he butchered innocent collegues. In all most all military establishments, especially in training centres criticism, mockery, etc. happens. He should not have taken it personally. A soldier should be able to take all these in a Military spirit. What was he doing till he became a Major. This so called Major hassan was waiting for his free education and a carreer. His sister claimed that he was disheartened by the scene of war horrors in Afghanistan and Iraq. Are the soldiers of American origin not participating in Iraq and Afghan war? Is this Major someone special, so that he will not go to the war front? I doubt some foul play in this game. Hope Americans will go to the extreme end to find out the truth or else they will perish.

S Army Major kills 12 at military base shooting spreeBy: Rohit Kumar | Friday , 6 Nov '09 20:45:43 PM Reply | Forward Every Jewish man in the world is loyal to Israel. Most of the Hindus I met in Australia and America are still loyal to Matrabhumi. Nobody question them. We have many Hindus are killed in Australia. We should not cry for them. It is a matter of Australia only. Why do we poke into the internal affairs of Australia then. The guy who shot soldeirs in Texas was continuously being abused by the fellow racists soldeirs. Many Christian solderirs have killed their fellow American soldeirs in the past. Many Hindu Soldeirs in Kashmir shot dead their many colleagues many times. Nobody blamed them. Why are we picking on Muslims then. Nobody talks of those hundreds of Muslim soldeirs deployed in Iraq from America were buried in American Arlington National Cemetry. What about them? Thousands of Americans are questioning the Iraq and Afghan war? And that is the reason Bush was kicked out of the office. Were they all traitors?

Poor arguementsBy: Rajbeer | Saturday , 7 Nov '09 4:07:53 AM Reply | Forward Your arguments are weak.Jewish relationship to Israel and hindu's relationship to India is differnet from the realtionship this gunman had with the US army.Similarly Bush's loosing elections or americans opposing this policy is alos diffent.There is something seriouly wrong with muslims.The condemnation for acts of terrorism never comes without pre-conditions from fellow Muslims.I d'ont trust anyone of them.There are lot of examples but it is so obvious now that there is no point debating.
