What Fries me: He's from Kuwait

and he was born right about the time George Bush Sr was sending our troops to Kuwait to rescue it from the attack from Iraq- basically the starting point of the adversarial relationship with Iraq. And it doesn't appear the apple fell far from the tree as his father and others in his family appear to be of that mindset. Thanks bunches Kuwait!! If there were "do-overs"- how do you like being annexed to Iraq?

    The fellow, now deceased, that shot-up the recruiters office and the NAS in Chattanooga, TN evidently in a moment of religious fervor.

    I found that ironic as well as him being from Kuwait, hard to claim your an orthodox/finatical Muslim if you drink alcohol. So it is quite possible he had another motive other than Jihad, but is using Jihad as a cover for the simple fact he couldn't handle being rejected by the Marines.

    Same PC crap.

    Been watching the democrat party controlled media prevaricate the issue of his religion and his nationality. The term "Domestic Terrorist" is used and at the same time, a great reluctance to connote Islam to his actions.

    The democrat party is so predictable every time we have a terrorist act. They usually blame Bush. republicans, and guns.

    Instead, partisan media completely ignores real problem: Open Borders, Welcome Wagon immigration policy, and sanctuary cities.
    All products of liberal democrats. Democrats also refuse to allow the arming of soldiers and prefer them to be vulnerable to such attacks.

    What Fries me: He's from Kuwait According to media reports the shooter's family is Jordanian but came here via Kuwait.

    He was born in that country, but held Jordanian citizenship when he arrived in the US.

    there was nothing about this shooter so far, that would indicate he is or was influenced by any terrorist organization. unless you deem an engineers club among those hateful groups. that is not to say he didn't turn Jihad on his own accord wanting to be a "better" muslim, since he did have the DUI. and the Marines had rejected him, thus providing him a venting place for his anger over his personal failings.

    there was nothing about this shooter so far...The media info on him has thus far been limited to classmate anecdotal observations from his youth.

    It's already been established that he resided 'back home' for the past few years. The possibilities are wide open on that period.

    And if we find a picture of him posing in front of an ISIS flag, can I expect to see that flag vilified and banned from the view of decent people?

    Or not?

    quote:Counterterrorism investigators are looking closely at a monthslong trip the Chattanooga shooting suspect took to Jordan in 2014 to determine if he had contact with any extremists or traveled to other countries, according to people familiar with the investigation.

    Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez, 24, spent about seven months in Jordan last year, according to one person close to the investigation. The trip was one of a number of trips he took to that country during his life.

    Mr. Abdulazeez died Thursday in a gunfight with police, after allegedly firing a rifle at two military facilities in Chattanooga. Four Marines were killed in the attacks.

    Law enforcement and intelligence agencies are now trying to determine if he made connections, or drew inspiration, on that trip to later commit an act of violence once he returned to the U.S., these people said.

    The FBI has been tracking hundreds of suspected supporters of the terror group Islamic State, but Mr. Abdulazeez wasn't on their radar as a potential threat, according to people familiar with the probe.

    FBI officials are also examining two blog posts apparently written on Monday to see if they were written by the suspect. Even if he did write them, according to people close to the investigation, there is nothing suggestive of violence in the posts, and they don't offer a motive for attacking U.S. military sites.

    "Brothers and sisters don't be fooled by your desires, this life is short and bitter and the opportunity to submit to Allah may pass you by,'' one post said.

    You gotta figure there's rich people in Kuwait, but also disgruntled people.

    I agree with chiefr's comments. I think they a related well to the topic and aren't that much of a leap. America has become the biggest sucker on the globe. Underdeveloped countries have had centuries to copy the west and billions of $ in aid and most have moved forward about a half inch. Time for even legal immigration to halt. America is settled. America can get by on the brains and labor that's already here and save the actual costs of importing both. Time for people to stay home and fix their #@!*&%! countries rather thansneak into the big mall where the work is done.
    Yeah, yeah, "my grandma came from (fill in the blank)". That was then, this is now.

    Oh crap, I was in Jordan in 2013. If he is a radical that is one thing, if he is just another crazy young guy, it really does not matter where he is from.

    Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, those Kuwaitis aren't very appreciative for all the US lives lost in rescuing them from Saddam.

    If I were in charge here, I would put an immediate halt to all immigration by Muslims.
    You are a Middle East Muslim, your brother lives in Detroit and you want to live with him, or, you are a student and want to study here, or, you want to travel around the Great Land, TOUGH LUCK.
    These radical Muslim murderers have poisoned the well. No more Muslims in America.
    And, I would be looking for any good excuse to kick out Muslims that are here. I am sick of this terrorist crap.
