Before a gag order was in place on Monday, Carlos Bledsoe or Abdulhakim Muhammad or whatever his name is today, the murderer of PVT William Long in Little Rock last week, made a statement to Associated Press<\/a>;<\/p>\n

I do feel I’m not guilty. I don’t think it was murder, because murder is when a person kills another person without justified reason. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mr. Muhammad, 23, said he wanted revenge for claims that American military personnel had desecrated copies of the Koran and killed or raped Muslims. “For this reason, no Muslim, male or female, sane or insane, little, big, small, old can accept or tolerate,” he said.<\/p>\n

He said the U.S. military would never treat Christians and their Scriptures in the same manner.<\/p>\n

“U.S. soldiers are killing innocent Muslim men and women. We believe that we have to strike back. We believe in eye for an eye. We don’t believe in turning the other cheek,” he said.<\/p>\n

Asked whether he considered the shootings at the recruiting center an act of war, Mr. Muhammad said, “I didn’t know the soldiers personally, but yes, it was an attack of retaliation. And I feel that other attacks, not by me or people I know, but definitely Muslims in this country and others elsewhere, are going to attack for doing those things they did,” especially desecrating the Koran. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Especially desecrating the Koran? Like the story that Newsweek had to retract<\/a>? <\/p>\n

“We believed our story was newsworthy because a U.S. official said government investigators turned up this evidence,” Whitaker wrote. “But we regret that we got any part of our story wrong, and extend our sympathies to victims of the violence and to the U.S. soldiers caught in its midst.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Feel any guilt, Newsweek?<\/p>\n

As far as his statement, I agree with DrewM<\/a>;<\/p>\n

No wonder Obama and the left don’t want to talk about it. They can’t spin this as some wannabe big talker who has no connection to Islam.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They want to keep this guy buried and quiet otherwise he might remind Americans that there’s still a war out there and our enemies are doing their best to bring it to our streets.<\/p>\n

Nothing from the White House yet, but there’s a resolution working it’s way through the House Judiciary Committee, I hear. The wording is fairly tame, but at least it’s something. Something we won’t get from this White House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
