American shot dead in Kuwait

Just heard it on CNN.

One civilian is dead, other is wounded in Kuwait City, Kuwait.

Ambassodor Richard Jones calls it ‘A Terrorist Attack’

woopdie doo. one american gets killed in kuwait, and they call it terrorism. one african american gets killed in america, they call it a hate crime.

It is funny how when 1 of theirs die they go up in arms, and yet when innocent muslims are butchered 24/7 in kashmir and chechnya and palestine they see it as "internal matters in the drive to squeeze out Islamic radicalism".

I wont shed a tear.

seems like noone will shed a tear ;)

Suspect arrested!

i dont feel any remorse

Re: Re: American shot dead in Kuwait

You know the biggest difference I find on gupshup when you read a post on an innocent American or Israeli being killed vs an innocent Palestinian/Afghani/other Muslim being killed?

No, it's not that the dead American is labeled a victim of a "terror attack" and the Muslim is not. It's that you will never find a post by an American here that would say "yippee", "i don't feel any remorse", "I wont shed a tear", "seems like noone will shed a tear", or "woopdie doo" that belittles the death of that innocent victim.

Seminole, you should take a little comfort in the fact that whoever is yippeing is only a very small part of the entire Gushup membership. Intelligence or wisdom is not a requirement to participate here.

I have felt sorry for people wether american/or israeli. After 9/11 i felt sorry for the those that died. I do today too.

But the stupidity from the americans is unbelievable. What defines terrorist? According to them terrorist means a muslim killing a non muslim 99% of the time.(They put n.korea in their list in an effort not to have a muslim country only list)

If a white guy from chicago kills a african american, its just a plain old murder, maybe sometimes a hate crime. But if a muslim was to kill an american, it wouldnt be simply a murder. Oh no. It would be a TERRORIST ATTACK. And it would be all over the main page. In bold writing "TERRORIST ATTACK CLAIMS LIFE".

When an american/israeli dies, its front page news. When a muslim dies, its in the "brief" section. WHY?

When an israeli goes to space, its front page news. When a saudi went to space, it was a small article. WHY?

When a muslim kills someone its front page news. When a non muslim kills someone its in the Local Section. WHY?

Have you ever been to an american forum site? Post a message there about a muslim being killed, and lets see the responses you get.

He confessed. The picture in the link shows a group of Kuwaitis laying a wreath at the murder scene.
Kuwait killing suspect ‘confesses’, BBC, 23 January 2003

A Kuwaiti man arrested for the killing of an American civilian has confessed to the shooting and said he “embraced the ideology of al-Qaeda”, Kuwait’s interior ministry has said.

The suspect, identified as 25-year-old Sami Mohammed al-Mutairi, admitted ambushing two Americans near the main United States army base in Kuwait, a ministry statement said. A second American was seriously injured in the attack, which happened on Tuesday.

Mr Al-Mutairi was extradited to Kuwait on Thursday after fleeing to Saudi Arabia, security officials said. The weapon used in the attack and some ammunition were found at Mr Al-Mutairi’s workplace, an interior ministry statement said.

Mr Al-Mutairi was interrogated by state security officials, according to the statement, during which time he “confessed that he had adopted the ideology of al Qaeda”.

The statement did not say where he worked, but security officials have described him as a civil servant.

I can see where your coming from hskhan but that's it's not all quite true, take for instance last year when an immigrate from Egypt went to LAX and killed three people at the El Al ticket counter, right away the FBI state we have no reason to believe this is terrorism. If you had gone to Fox news I wouldn't be surprised if they had reported it as a terrorist attack but responsible media did not. But your right, due to 9/11 many Muslims have been branded unfairly.

Saudi Arabia has extradites killer to Kuwait.

That was not a yippeeee at the mans death man, that was a yippee at the equal importance the world attatches to muslim, non muslim deaths. :rolleyes:

9/11 sickened me, I was on the verge of crying, we are not animals, American civilians/state doesnt systematically butcher muslims in its borbers–Israelis do that, IOK forces do-so they get a fitting degree of sympathy back.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: American shot dead in Kuwait

Wrong! Found this at CNN. Very news worthy source : .CNN : Terror Victims Sue LA . Thought u could get away with it eh. The phrase “terrorist attack” is in the first paragraph. See it?

Take for instancethe Okhlahoma bombing.Who did they say did it? Yup, thats right. They said Muslim Extremists. Turned out to be McVeigh. Front Page news.

Here in Toronto a few months ago…a Jewish man was killed. Who did it? They said Muslims. Turned out to be a Catholic. Front Page news.

Now, would this front page article be written if a Kuwaiti killed a Pakistani, or Malaysian. Nope. Who’d care. It would be written in some small article in the ‘Briefs’.

hskhan, if you think that only killings performed by Muslims get front-page news your wrong. I'm not sure what you’re looking for, al-Qaida is a self proclaimed Islamic group, should the media ignore this fact?

You mocked how the American killed in Kuwait is called a terrorist attack but that's exactly what it turned out to be.

Stupid people worry about the verbiage that is used and ignore what the hell is going on. Call it whatever the hell you like, but it is murder. I wonder what they call how Danny Pearl was killed, honor killing? Gimme a break.
