>> Where were the MP's Dave? They were armed.

I really can't speak for anyone else, but I get really tired of shooting down your weak-assed arguments only to have you attempt to change the subject in the next post.

have you ever been on a big base ??? it's like a small town back in the 50s/60s. Kids playing riding their bikes, you don't see any MPs except at the gates and driving around once in a while like civilian cops.

Muslim Veterans Group Says No Reports of Harassment of Islamic Soldiers

Friday, November 06, 2009
By Joshua Rhett Miller

A Muslim veteran affairs organization says it has not received reports of harassment from Islamic soldiers, contrary to claims by a relative of the man authorities say is responsible for the worst mass killing on a U.S. military base.

Abdul-Rashid Abdullah, deputy director of the American Muslim Armed Forces and Veterans Affairs Council, told FoxNews.com that the nonprofit group has not received a single report recently of a U.S. soldier being harassed "simply because he was Muslim."

"That kind of report is inconsistent with what we've heard," Abdullah said prior to a press conference in Washington to denounce Thursday's shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, that left 13 dead and 38 wounded. Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a 39-year-old Army psychiatrist who was reportedly due to be deployed later this month, is accused in the mass shooting.

Abdullah said his organization, which condemned the "unspeakable" attack, serves "several thousand" Muslim soldiers.
