A friend's son is based there and is about to deploy...I hope that he was not there.

Not good if true. This nation doesn't need anymore fuel to be thrown on the Anti-Islam fire that already exists. There's already an irrational fear that many people have and this wouldn't help matters any.

Terrorists- yes, we should be concerned.
Muslims in general- no. There's no reason to stereotype.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Officials say a shooting suspect at Fort Hood
has been identified as Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan, who they say was an
Army mental health professional.
A law enforcement official said Hasan, believed to be in his
late 30s, was killed after opening fire at the base. The official
spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to
discuss the case publicly.
A defense official speaking on condition of anonymity says Hasan
was a mental health professional - an Army psychologist or
psychiatrist.
It was not known whether he was treating people at the base.
Officials says it was not clear what Hasan's religion was, but
investigators are trying to determine if Hasan was his birth name
or if he may have changed his name and converted to the Islamic
faith at some point.

Right, because all Muslims are terrorists.
This thread has officially become an embarrassment.

There has been plenty of killing all over the world for a long time by most religions.

What? The taliban managed to recruit an army major and had him start senselessly shooting random soldiers on a military base? Seems like if you recruit a major, you use him to do other things.
No, it's not really possible at all.

Dude, it was a snide remark. Texas is known for people loving their guns, so what? My dad has a friggin' arsenal, and I was talking to him yesterday about hitting the range. I held a gun in my hands today. Yeah, great job jumping to conclusions about me.
