- I agree. And also, I feel a little for the shooter, who must have been going through something terrible, who must have been so terrified of being deployed that he thought this was his best option.

      - The man was never even deployed. I'd say he had some issues and that they had nothing to do with the military.

        Don't be dense. Nobody's blaming the victim by trying to understand what actually causes these things to happen rather than blasting everyone off to pieces. The world would be a better place without people like you making serious and complicated issues into evil vs good.

- The maker of the upcoming apocalyptic film "2012" has conceded he enjoyed orchestrating the visual disintegration of the world's religious symbols, such as the Vatican and the famous statue of Jesus overlooking Rio de Janeiro. But he left an Islamic symbol alone because he feared the reaction from the Muslim world. Roland Emmerich said he had considered including the destruction of the Kaaba, the cube-shaped structure in Mecca worshiped by Muslims as being built by Abraham and his son Ishmael. "Well, I wanted to do that, I have to admit," Emmerich said. "But my co-writer Harald [Kloser] said I will not have a fatwa on my head because of a movie. And he was right. ... We have to all ... in the Western world ... think about this."

- he definitely had issues that were not related to the military. he was very imbalanced and it's a real misfortune for the muslim community in our country. i pray that, as a country, that we do not overreact toward the community in general for one bad, bad egg.
