" stp: please be accurate in your words. Yes, the jihadi leaders should all be killed. Do you disagree with that? What would you suggest as an alternative? Use harsh language on them? What exactly do you think we need to do to them? "

" For STP;That is correct unless you can prove me wrong, which you can't. Don't bother bringing up McVeigh or those other murderers, I'm talking the "peace loving" Quran thumpers that deny any hate for Americans which is an outright lie they all practice.
For Anna D; I absolutely agree!!! I wouldn't waste taxpayer money on brand name sausage, entrails would be fine. "

" kk - All terrorists are Muslims?

AnnaD - We should convert Muslims to Chrisianity and kill Muslim leaders?

Do you know how stupid the both of you sound when you write statements like that? You may want to look up the definition of terrorist and think about what you are saying before you write such garbage. "

" That fundamental premise (convert or die) is still the rule in the Koran. Where are the Muslims who believe Islam needs to be reformed and modernized? I hear crickets, but not much else. Oh, maybe it's because when these decent people do rise up to say something along that line, the "true believers" threaten to kill them? By the way, "true believers" is not my characterization of Islamic jihadis; it's how they characterize themselves. "

" I don't think he should be executed. I think he should be put in solitary confinement, don't tell him which way is Mecca, don't give him a Koran and prayer rug, make him eat Jimmy Dean pork sausages 3 times a day and watch Rev. Billy Graham (no disrespect intended) preaching on TV, for 16 hours a day. Maybe he'll convert? Ann Coulter was right when she said we should kill all their (the jihadis) leaders and convert them to Christianity. By the way, the majority of today's Muslims are converts from other religions, whose ancestors were given the choice of convert or die. "

" I've said it before and I'll say it again. All islamic muslims are not murdering terrorists but all murdering terrorist are filthy islamic muslims. This piece of filth has taken at least 12 Americans from us. The death penalty is too good for him. Let him have his 75 virgins...without his head. Oh and lets make that televised "

According to the WSJ the person who brought down the shooter was a DOD cop named Sgt. Kimberly Munley. She was wounded herself. "

" Yet another example of jihad in America. There are reports (that's more than one) that he shouted allahu akbar as he was shooting. I wonder what that means, between the recent attacks (successes), the thwarted attacks (failures) and the honor killings (where's NOW when you need them)? "
