By FITSNews || Five Muslim soldiers were detained at Fort Jackson in Columbia, S.C. before Christmas – reportedly in connection with an attempt to poison the food supply at the basic training facility.
One website, CBN.com, is reporting that the five soldiers had been in contact with a group of Muslim extremists in Washington, D.C. Those individuals were recently arrested by Pakistani authorities after relocating to that country to “wage jihad” against U.S. soldiers stationed overseas.
No soldiers were poisoned at Fort Jackson, officials at the base say, and the U.S. Army’s Criminal Investigation Division has been on the case for at least two months.
FOX News is reporting that the suspects were part of a Arabic translation program called “09 Lima” and used Arabic as their first language.
Founded in 1917, more than 45,000 soldiers receive basic training at Fort Jackson each year – making it the largest Army training facility in America.

Hopefully they will be subject to the military justice system and not some whore defense lawyer and liberal civilian judge…
By CNSYD February 18, 2010 at 8:55 pm
Turn them over to their fellow soldiers and let them take care of the problem.

Why is the military allowing muslims into our military? They can not be loyal to this country. Their loyality will always be to islam first. And Obama needs to understand that, and call this for it is a war against terrorismj..
By Bobby February 18, 2010 at 9:26 pm
countryboy if you knew anything other than your stupid talking points you’d realized that members of the military charged with offenses in the military are tried by the military justice system. that is why it is called the military justice system. you didn’t really gain any points from saying that.
By No Way! February 18, 2010 at 9:30 pm
Okay, simple solution. Send all of these towelhead bastards to the damn middle east and let them live among one another. We’ve had enough here! If you want to live in the f’ing middle ages, let em do it!

Apparently Richard Eckstrom wasn’t on guard duty, you know, keeping us safe from Muslims…
By Old Bike Dude February 18, 2010 at 9:42 pm
Time to call a spade a spade. Muslims in America are blacks who find Jesus a little too white for their liking. That and the conflicted white dudes who were tired of getting pilloried.
Time to screen all these Muslimites from military service.
ps I have a kid in boot camp at Ft Jackson.

While these posting clowns are edging towards forming a lynch mob (how traditionally American of them) their Teabagger terrorist friends are attacking from the sky!
And if you want to see a US military base that has really had its personnel and families poisoned, look at nearby Camp LeJuene. Will we hear some calls for lynching Marine officers? No, didn’t think so.
By countryboy February 18, 2010 at 10:11 pm
“Bobby” I served four years in the USAF and am fairly knowledgeable regarding the UCMJ. My point is that the article does not clearly state whether the muslim suspects are US citizens or possibly non-citizens that are part of some military exchange program. Thus, in case they were foreigners I expressed the hope that the bleeding heart liberals in Congress and at the White House would not try to subject them to the civilian justice system somehow, like the dumbass with the bomb in his shorts trying to bomb a plane inbound to Detroit. And “Bobby” I am not trying to gain any points on here, certainly not with anyone named “Bobby”.

I love how you geniuses devolve into assigning hateful stereotypes and proposing nonsensical blanket solutions. Completely unhelpful.
By Bob February 19, 2010 at 6:32 am
OK pleasechokeonyoursourgrapes, so a plan of action:
1. Classify Muslim religion as a hate group just like the Klan. And like the Klan, anyone who attends a meeting is considered guilty.
2. Watch their asses every move they make, just like the Klan.
3. Whenever they cause damage, hold them criminally liable, and liable to suits for money damages, and hold ALL Muslims accountable not just the actors just like the Klan.
Get it? They are just like the Klan, so we should stomp them out. Or do you think we have “assigned stereotypes and proposed nonsensical solutions” regards to the Klan?
By Old Bike Dude February 19, 2010 at 7:13 am
awww hell Bobby. I recently wrote an OP on another site recommending the same action. You are right on.

I’m with Dickie( as above)… where was Eckstrom????

Afghan Yogurt Soup with Tomatoes (Sherwa-e-Lawang)
2 cloves garlic, crushed
4 tablespoons melted pork lard
3 medium tomatoes, skinned and chopped
16 ounces yogurt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
salt
METHOD
Fry the garlic in pork lard until brown. Add tomatoes, stir and continue frying.
Blend remaining ingredients in a mixer then slowly add garlic and tomatoes. Bring to a boil.
Procure 1 large aluminum turkey baster with squeezable rubber ball on one end. To make sure the Muslim soldiers get the full enjoyment of this tasty soup they must be firmly secured to a chair with arms behind back and eyes towards the heavens. The steaming soup is administered slowly several drops at a time with the turkey baster into the nasal passages. The warm and fuzzy feeling of grandma’s homemade soup should bring back fond memories of their homeland. Enjoy!

Wow. The dumbass Rednecks are up early today. Have you stopped to wonder why this story is”developing?” It’s “developing” because it’s bullshit concocted by the christian zealots at CBN.
By countryboy February 19, 2010 at 11:01 am
Hey Sid, since you are attacking christians and in a sense defending muslims, by calling those of us who are commenting negatively about the 5 muslims the CID is investigating, “dumbass rednecks”, does that mean you are:
A. A dumbass muslim?
B. A dumbass atheist?
C. A dumbass yankee?
D. A typical bleeding heart liberal?
By SnakeMD February 19, 2010 at 11:27 am
countryboy, you left off: (E) All of the above.
By Evaray107 February 19, 2010 at 4:14 pm
Anger is justified, but is hate righteous? Do I need to read the gospels again, so I can learn how to hate more? I am no Jesus. I could personally execute the traitors. But calling for genocide against Muslims is no different than calling for genocide against Christians, except that Christ forbids such hatred. I guess that makes me a yankee muslim athiest liberal dumbass.
By pleasechokeonyoursourgrapes February 19, 2010 at 4:43 pm
Still not helpful, Bob. Still stereotyping (you really think every Muslim is a terrorist? Do you know any Muslims?). But, still popular. Good for you.
By SnakeMD February 19, 2010 at 5:32 pm
Hey there, Evaray107 please run–don’t walk–to the library and check out the book, The Crusades by Zoe, Oldenbourg it is a scant read of about 700 pages. The book was published in 1966, so it ain’t no Glenn Beck, type thing. It is called *history*. In a nutshell, it is either us or them.
The Muslim Holy War has reared its ugly head. So, you go ahead and read the Gospels to the faithful who have sworn their allegiance to some Holy Caliph in Baghdad, Commander of the Martyrs. It took the better part of 800 years to reclaim Spain from the Muslims from the Battle of Covadonga in 718 to the fall of Granada in 1492. As we speak Europe is having more and more problems with Muslim terrorists groups because of pacifism like yours. Personally, I would rather take the offensive instead of waiting to act after some indiscriminate terrorist act.
I don’t believe what you are reading is defined as hate, but I do believe it is called wanting to keep Western Civilization alive with all its problems and sinners, too. Funny how History repeats itself. You remind me of those folks in Europe, in the 1930′s, who wanted to strike a deal with Hitler. Sorry. I rather sing Onward Christian Soldiers than mumble some prayer chant on a mat facing East. God Bless.
By No Way! February 19, 2010 at 9:46 pm
These Muslims should go back to Mecca. Take a pilgrimage and just don’t come back. They have shown their colors. When one of these ultra-radical groups does something assinine, their brothers in Mohammad don’t reject or ridicule them. Send them ALL BACK TO THE MIDDLE EAST. LET THEM LIVE TOGETHER IN HARMONY. Get them the hell out of America and our military.
By madcock February 20, 2010 at 1:23 am
You and Rupert Murdoch are now quoting Pat Robertson to spread your bullshit!
Wow, I am actually surprised, but that’s my fault for forgetting that Republicans have no scruples or ethics at all.
The report has already been debunked by the Army. The statement from the Pentagon is already there that the investigation has found the allegations are false.
But the damage is done. Al Queda again gets a huge boost from its best friends in the western world, the GOP.
It’s vital that we have Muslims, particularly ones fluent in Arabic in our military in order to succeed in the Middle East. General Petraeus and everyone before him has pointed this out over and over again. From conducting undercover espionage to simply patrolling the streets in Fallujah, these patriotic Americans are our single best defense against Osama Ben Laden. Lunatics like Pat Robertson, Rupert Murdoch, Fits, and the idiot posters(one who even claimed to have served in the US Air Force!) play right into Al Queda’s lies about America.
This report and those who have spread it literally have the blood of American soldiers, Marines, sailors and airmen on their hands.
I’ve often commented that the GOP makes Osama’s job so easy he could literally retire and just let Michael Steele have his position.
From Dubya’s ignoring Richard Clarke’s desperate warning in August, 2001 that Al Queda was about to strike in the US, to the removal of Al Queda’s leading enemy in the Sunni Arab world Saddam Hussein, to pulling our troops out of Tora Bora only hours or minutes before they had Osama captured and sending them to Iraq, to allowing Osama’s brother to defy the ban on flights out of the US two days after 9/11 and fly home to Saudi Arabia without being questioned, to now blocking the US development of green technology so we won’t be dependent on the Arab sheiks’ oil which brings them the cash they need to bankroll the militant Islam that seeks to destroy us, the GOP has again and again treasonously abetted and facilitated Osama Ben Laden and Al Quedas attempts to destroy America and has already allowed so much innocent bloodshed.
I’m sure Ben Laden is laughing with joy as his fellow religous fanatic and insane person, Pat Robertson and all of his GOP fellow travelers continue to do the crazed terrrorist’s bidding better than he could of ever dreamed.
I wonder if FITS chanted “Allah Akbar” before posting this lie?
By Old Bike Dude February 20, 2010 at 6:33 am
Hey Snake. Our good man Evaray 107 just overlooked the whole djimmitude thing. Onward Christian Soldiers is good but when it comes to this Holy war I prefer Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition.
By sid February 20, 2010 at 10:26 am
That’s quite a leap, crazydick, to blame anti-muslim sentiments here on the GOP. I wonder how many of the posters here that drove you so loony actually align themselves with the GOP. And where are the GOP pieces that reference this ongoing investigation? Remember, before Bush, there was sissy-Bill Clinton, who refused to have Osama killed when he was in our sights. So, all the blood from 9/11 onward, by your “logic,” is really on the hands of Billy and the Dems.
Of course, the blood is really on the hands of Islamic extremists, but that doesn’t play well in your little world where you must blame all problems on people you just don’t like. You keep spouting your DNC-approved lies and hatred, though. It’s what you do best. Osama is probably more interested in seeing people like you gain approval from the public. Your views definitely help his cause.
By countryboy February 20, 2010 at 11:56 am
Good post there Sid, saved me the trouble of responding to madcock, crazydick, limpdick, whatever. He (or she) is obviously an Obama a$$ licking Democrat.
By madcock February 20, 2010 at 12:25 pm
Sid, you’re so cute when you’re disinginuous.
To paraphrase Bogie in Casablanca, “Repubicans here?. Why I’m shocked, shocked I say!”
LMTFAO!
By sid February 20, 2010 at 7:57 pm
Yeah, crazydick, I figured you’d just write whatever you think will make you feel good, rather than address reality. Just remember, lefties like you have caused so much more death and suffering in the world than any other group, so you better hope there’s no accountability wherever you may find yourself after death. Oh, and it’s sid, not Sid. The one who goes by Sid is in your camp, also blissfully ignorant of what goes on in the real world.
FWIW, I don’t have a problem with all muslims, but I can sympathize more with those who do than I can with you. Ironically, you react in the exact same way that they do, but you are too stupid to realize it. Just to give you a hint, GOP=Muslim in this equation.
Then again, maybe you’re mad at the world because you’re just too fat?
By evaray107 February 22, 2010 at 8:06 am
Apparently my offer to kill people was misinterpreted as pacifism, and my knowledge of Christianity and Islam as ignorance. No, I missed nothing. I have read the Q’uran and the Bible, as well as the entire History of Western Civilization. What is unacceptable is ignorant hatred. A painter at my house who was too terrified & disgusted of black people (best neighbors ever) to finish the job. Rednecks gang-raped a woman in the back of a pickup on Main Street Mauldin because she might be a lesbian. People on FITS bravely call for geocide. When a right-wing Republican gun-toting redneck from east Tennessee [me] sees you as a radical ignorant extremist fundamentalist, then you might be past the point of logic. Fundamentalism is fundamentalism.
By Bob February 23, 2010 at 6:33 pm
I can’t believe what I am reading here. I know few Muslims that are serving in the Army and some of them received the Bronze Star with Valor,Purple Heart..ect. By the way, last perso to receive the Medal of honor was an ARAB(navy seal). So let show some respect to those muslims who are serving our country. One more thing, there was no evidence to support the allegations of these muslim soldiers involvement in this incident. It’s all a rumor so far.
