Carlos needs to be executed for this murder and to impress upon anyone else in the US who may be having thoughts of doing the same thing.

This is very sad. As my mother used to say, "what is this world coming to." Back to back mur ders in the name of God. My condolences to the family.

If it weren't for those soldiers, this guy wouldn't be able to flip flop religions whenever he felt like it.

Do these people who commit these horrendous crimes really think they can get away with it? Maybe he can plead insanity.

It is the rigid beliefs in fanatical religions that allow these people to do what they do in the name of religion. Condolences to the recruiter's family, it was no more right than tiller yesterday

What a coward. This guy continued to live in America through all this time, reaping the benefits and freedoms that this country continues to offer, and decided that he was unhappy enough with it to murder in cold blood someone who had devoted his life to its defense.

At least that idiot John Walker Lindh had the guts to go out to Afghanistan and wage his stupid little Holy War while living under their repressive government.

This is one of those instances where the term 'Love it or leave it' fully applies.

It's ironic that the man who shot Tiller was anti-religion and the man who shot the recruiters did it because of his Mulim faith.

Murder in the Heartland....

America is a murderous country...

A killing zone..

very sad and tragic..amazing the similarities between the muslim and christian zealots...they all kill in the name of god.. its no wonder more and more sane people are becoming atheists....

[Tzimisce]

Indeed.

Atheists were the only demographic to grow in all 50 states over the last decade.

The Absence of God Bless America!

All the "Young Republicans" in the area can sleep easy - no one will be calling for them tonight.

Dear God;


Please save me from the people who believe in you.

I don’t know why this isn’t getting more coverage in the media. I’ve heard more about the lady who lost that British singing competition. That is messed up.

[Immhotep]

May GOD deliver us from people who kill in his name

[mediamarv]

Not only that, but thanks to Inhofe (R-Ok) they can take their concealed guns into National parks to kill people now.

[TJCole]

Yes well with all the killings in churches, our government figured then why not National Parks...?

You have to hand it to Harvard Law School they really teach them well don't they...?

[KarenT]

Why else would they need guns in National Parks but to kill people? It's illegal to kill animal life in National Parks. Why would anyone want guns allowed in our National Parks?

[dphilip]

You should talk to your democrat congressman that voted for it and your president who signed it into law. Face it, democrats care more about getting relected than they do your dislike for guns..

[LatteLibertine]

I hope the fellow who murdered Dr. Tiller and this fellow are both prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

While authorities continued to investigate a motive, Thomas said Muhammad is a Muslim convert and, based on preliminary interviews with him, investigators believe there were "political and religious motives" in the shooting.

Military officials initially believed the shooting was a random act, but Thomas said police believe the shooter acted alone "with the specific purpose of targeting military personnel."

Political murder of US soldier and there is no outrage from the left. Well I am not surprised. Saddened but not surprised.
