    Wishing the best for the hostages, wishing justice for their captor.

    He is doing that, except it's not her biological brother, but a fellow muslim.

    yeah, that is probably the way he meant sister, like "my brothers and sisters, we are gathered here today", not an actual sister

    We SHOULD. But that is not the reality.

    Dems on this very forum when they see an officer get killed will blame police.

    When they see a red area deal with something of this nature they blame the citizens for being pro second amendment.

    Dems genuinely do not care. That is not hyperbole. The only time dems care, is when its a non right right personality, who isn't white, get killed in a blue area.

    The terrorist is doing this because he wants another female muslim prisoner to be released.
    Apparently that woman was abducted in Pakistan, brought to a US base in Afghanistan, while she was being interrogated there was a curtain in the room and she looked behind it wanting to see what was there, apparently she startled a soldier that was behind it, he shot her and another soldier, and then to protect the soldier, everyone in the room lied and claimed she grabbed a gun behind the curtain and began trying to shoot everyone.
    Well, that is what many muslims in Pakistan believe.

    I'd love to see the prisoner they demand released executed in situations like this.

    That wouldn't work here. Muslims believe that prisoner was wrongly convicted.
    So it would just make them more mad.

    The irony is the captor is doing this because he wants "justice" too.

    Yes, however I believe bush had it right that we should not not negotiate with terrorists. No matter their philosophy they should treat them in the harshest regard

    If everyone resorts to violence in response to conflicts and disputes, where does that leave us?

    You'd like to think we are so much better than all those people in the muslim world who condone this terrorism, but is that really true?

    The "right" thing to do is not always so clearly the same exact thing as what we feel "has to" be done.

    We're waging our war, and they're waging theirs. Just because their tactics are more evil, doesn't make all ours right.

    Yes, there are plenty of muslims that due to their radical religious position can't be reasoned with, but not all of them fall into that category. Some of them view themselves as "soldiers" and are fighting for more political objectives, or what they see as "justice" or revenge.

    It seems to me that, very oftentimes, violence and wrongs can just beget more violence and wrongs. One thing sets the foundation for another.
    If I asked you to tell me where it started, you would probably not even know, it goes back so far.

    Sounds to me like trump put his money in the same bet you did during his rally today. I wouldn’t be surprised if this prediction came to fruition

    a very good job. They took their time and did not do some Rambo style "intervention".

    Everyone survives. Without liberalism, this never even happens. What the hell is this individual even doing here in the US? In a just world, you push him out a C-130 with a parachute over his home country after this.

    I’d love to know when this piece of crap “immigrated” here. Was it in that big wave Biden let in from Afghanistan, perhaps? Or maybe it was from Obama letting them storm in for nearly a decade. This type of stuff is your fault. You voted for it.

    Here's something else for us to think about: What percent of people in his origin country (Pakistan) would give him the thumbs up for what he did?
    I'm guessing probably a full 10%, and another 25% would be reluctant to condemn his actions.


    Here is just one of the stories coming out of Pakistan, which would be difficult to believe in the US: Asia Bibi in Pakistan

    What happened was the remaining hostages escaped out of a door, Muslim terrorist followed in pursuit, till he saw swat moving in.

    He ran back inside and a few seconds later as swat entered 3 shots were heard.

    Won't know more till later.

    Well I take that back there are some other questions we need answered.

    I understand he got off a plane and went pretty much directly to the synagogue.

    We need to know who supplied him with a weapon and what they knew about his plans.
