Faith+Bullets=Teh Suck.
Oh Good Lord people! Can we just knock this shit off?
Another day, another terrorist claiming to be doing the will of their chosen supernatural idol. This time, it's a disciple of the Muslim flavor of crazy:
A Muslim convert who said he was opposed to the U.S. military shot two soldiers outside an Arkansas recruiting station, killing one, police said Monday.
"This individual appears to have been upset with the military, the Army in particular, and that's why he did what he did," Little Rock Police Lt. Terry Hastings said in a phone interview.
"He has converted to (Islam) here in the past few years," Hastings said. "We're not completely clear on what he was upset about. He had never been in the military.
"He saw them standing there and drove up and shot them. That's what he said."
Hastings identified the man in custody as Carlos Bledsoe, 24, of Little Rock, who goes by the name of Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad.
Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad? Really? Way to go with the cliche there, Carlos.
A the early seventies, there was a serial killer named Herb Mullin who went around murdering people because God told him it was the only way to prevent an earthquake that would send California sliding into the sea. Mullin was a paranoid schizo (also obsessed with religion, he stabbed a priest to death in his confessional) and at least had the excuse of severe mental illness. But these holy fools are just as bad. They kill for what they imagine to be good, not for what actually is. How else could you justify gunning down a young man right out of basic training in front of an Arkansas mall, or shooting an OB/GYN in a church foyer?
Do us all a favor next time you feel like killing for God, tough guys. Shoot yourself in the head first. That way you can ask the big guy himself if it was what he wanted you to do.
As for me, I'm getting more then a little bit sick of this shit. If your god wants you to kill people, get another god. I hear that Zeus is pretty cool, he likes the ladies, makes a mean grappa, and he usually does his own dirty work. I'll take a lightning bolt over a homegrown nut with a gun any day, thanks!
