Note his bumper sticker reason given. Also note, that is in their warring manual! They know how to play on the sympathies of all who are just looking for a victim to take offense for.

WACO, Texas – A federal jury on Thursday convicted a Muslim soldier on six charges in connection with a failed plot to blow up a Texas restaurant full of Fort Hood troops, his religious mission to get "justice" for the people of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Jurors in U.S. District Court in Waco deliberated a little more than an hour before finding Pfc. Naser Jason Abdo guilty of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction, attempted murder of U.S. officers or employees, and four counts of possessing a weapon in furtherance of a federal crime of violence.
Abdo, 22, did not stand with his attorneys when jurors and the judge entered the room, and he showed no emotion when each of the six guilty verdicts was read by the court clerk. Abdo, who's been accused of spitting blood on authorities escorting him and a jailer, wore a mask covering his nose and mouth throughout the trial.
He faces up to life in prison. U.S. District Judge Walter Smith is set to sentence Abdo in July.
Prosecutors said Abdo had already started making a bomb when he was detained at a Killeen motel last July after going AWOL from Fort Campbell, Ky. Authorities also found numerous bomb-making components, a loaded gun, 143 rounds of ammunition, a stun gun and other items in his backpack and motel room.
In a recorded police interview, Abdo said he was planning to pull off an attack in the Fort Hood area "because I don't appreciate what my unit did in Afghanistan."
He told authorities he planned to put the bomb in a busy restaurant filled with soldiers, wait outside and shoot anyone who survived — and become a martyr after police killed him. Abdo told an investigator that he didn't plan an attack inside Fort Hood because he didn't believe he would be able to get through security at the gates, according to testimony.
During the four-day trial, a recorded jail conversation was played for jurors in which Abdo told his mother his religion inspired his actions and he was seeking "justice" for the people of Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Their suffering is my suffering," he said.
Abdo's lead attorney, Zach Boyd, told jurors during closing arguments that Abdo should be acquitted because his plan never progressed beyond preparation.
Killeen police began investigating Abdo on July 26 after a gun store employee reported a young man bought 6 pounds of smokeless gunpowder, shotgun ammunition and a magazine for a semiautomatic pistol, while behaving in an odd manner and seeming to know little about his purchases.
Officers also learned that Abdo bought a U.S. Army uniform and a "Smith" name patch from another store, and jurors saw surveillance footage showing him leaving the store wearing the uniform he just bought. He was detained July 27 after police tracked him to the motel in Killeen, about 150 miles southwest of Dallas.
"A disaster was averted because somebody picked up the phone and made a call," prosecutor Mark Frazier told The Associated Press after the trial, when the judge's gag order was lifted. "The people who work in businesses like this are vigilant ... and risked being embarrassed if their suspicions turned out to be nothing, but that's what we want people to do."
Abdo went AWOL from the Kentucky Army post over the Fourth of July weekend, about two months after he was charged with possessing child pornography, which put his conscientious objector status on hold.
Abdo then went to Nashville, bought a gun from an online seller and kept traveling until he ended up in his Dallas-area hometown. He paid cash for food, motel rooms and bus and cab fare and used his roommate's ID card. When his Dallas friends didn't help him, he wanted to go to South Texas but chose Killeen because he remembered news reports of the 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage in which a Muslim soldier is charged, according to testimony.
Maj. Nidal Hasan faces the death penalty in the Fort Hood shootings if convicted at his trial, which starts in August.
Abdo became a Muslim when he was 17. He enlisted in the military in 2009, thinking that the service wouldn't conflict with his religious beliefs. But according to his essay that was part of his conscientious objector status application, Abdo reconsidered as he explored Islam further.
In that essay, which he sent to the AP in 2010, Abdo said acts like the Fort Hood shootings "run counter to what I believe in as a Muslim."

Boy that was a fast Verdict How come the FT Hood Shooter is not on the Dock??
After reading the story, I couldn't find the "bumper sticker reason" as noted in the intro. Despite that lack, I thought the article was good and showed clearly how justice CAN work. He definitely deserves a very long sentence in jail - maybe we should send him to Guantanamo so he can be with his buddies. It is sad that the administration can no longer use the word "terrorist" and can call this type of action "a man-made situation". This Political Correctness has to stop, as the American people are being swayed away from the action that one person did which resulted in the arrest! I feel that Muslims should be watched because any one of them can do similar actions. The goal of those that are radicalized by their IMAMs is a world-wide caliphate, and with the "leader" we have in the White House, and he gets reelected, we will be on the way to just that!
I'm sorry, but a good long sentence in jail is wrong. More like a good long death sentence. He was in the military. What happened to the military handling these matters? Would this not be considered treason to plot against this country? Treason, punishable by death.
As you may know there is no more punishment of rag heads so long as ovomit is in office,ist of all he (ovomit) is one of them and has changed the law,2 he is a f....n muslim and belongs to the muslim brotherhood so it would break his heart if one of his brothers got sentenced to death.As far as our guys he does not give a damn,my guess is that they are going to call it a work place accident like they did with the colonel who,s still alive.
So is his mother also being charged as an accessory and for harboring a terrorist? If they have recorded phone calls that he made to her telling her his intentions, she is a party to the planned crime and should also be arrested and tried. Enough with letting these mother of terrorists evade their part played in raising these demented idiots. Hiding behind their burquas does not absolve them of their contribution to the islamic jihad stupidity.
The best thing we can do for sentencing is deny him his attempt for the virgins and let him rot in one of our prisons...perferably in solitary.
My apologies....I just realized that the taped phone call was made after the arrest. Not before. However, I still stand on my initial statement that these mothers and this culture needs to start being held accountable for what their sons are doing.
Golden Eagle, while I agree with most of the things you post, I would disagree with this one. Some times, no matter what a persons parents may do, peoples kids just don't turn out the way they are raised to be. I don't know at the times I have heard of some kid doing something bad and the comment being made "That's not how they were raised." Now the culture thing I can agree with. No longer are children allowed to be disciplined in the schools, how are teachers supposed to teach in an environment that they have no control over? Then there is the problem with our allowing the Mooslime invasion of our country, and allowing them to convert otherwise normal folks to their satanist "religion". Yes we have many problems and some parents are much to blame but I would hesitate to blame the mothers, more likely the fathers, or lack there of.
You are right about that Johnny. Kids sometimes do the opposite of what they are taught by their families....perhaps the influence of our communist public schools is part of the problem with American kids....they create huge problems at home because they do not respect the morals and values that a child brings to school from home, preferring instead to fill their heads with their liberal propaganda......and perhaps the radical mosques and mullahs are the problem with muslim kids...I don't know.
What I do know is that a couple of years ago, I was staying at the Boston Waterfront Marriot Hotel....on the expensive floor. While waiting in line for breakfast, a burquad mother and two little boys got in line behind me. The boys were absolutely abominable. They were pushing and shoving, kept crashing into me and finally for no apparent reason, one of them hauled off and kicked me as hard as he could in the shins. I was furious. I turned to the mother and said, "In this country, children are not allowed to kick strangers for no apparent reason. We do not tolerate this kind of bad behavior." She GLARED at me and replied, "Come boys, this mean woman is racist and she wants to hurt you."
I was astonished....but chalked that one up to idiotic parenting and "precious darling" syndrome. But then last summer, I was waiting in a line to go on a harboside cruise in Maine, and another burquad woman with three little kids, literally shoved me aside and pushed her way in front of me and told me that she should board before me because her children were sick of waiting. You know, had she asked me nicely, I probably would have agreed, but seeing the behaviour of these kids....disrespectful and nasty to everyone around them....I simply replied, "Sorry. I got here first and I've been waiting longer than you. Please wait your turn in line like everybody else." Again I got, "Racist American pig woman!"
I am absolutely amazed at how this is considered ok in this country, while my protests are labeled racist. I'm inclined to agree with Dorris and say that we should give the same degree of respect to muslims in this country that they give to us in their's....which is NONE. If they want to be here, they need to learn to follow our ways and customs, just like we would have to do if we went to their country. That is what I call mutual respect.
And I'm not a believer in child abuse, but I do say that if my kids ever acted like those children acted, I would spank them silly til they learned some manners and respect. And it's time some of these muslim mothers got a grip and did the same thing.
However, I do believe there are possibly many good women among the muslim populations....the culture just totally represses them. BUT...mothers are still the ones raising the children...so they need to be held accountable.
Golden Eagle, I can certainly understand what you are saying but if you read the article closely and look at the picture, this guy became mooslime at 17, and is not of Arabic descent. That is what confused me about what you were saying. As for the mooslimes you mention, I would expect nothing less from them. I have failed in my course of PC and do not believe the farce about theirs being a religion of peace. The last part of your post says that mothers are still the ones raising the children. I say if that is the case then something is being done wrong, fathers need to be involved in raising children as well. God bless.
I would tend to agree with you as far as how the kids are being trained. However, it is NOT always the mother that trains the kids in such appalling manners. I lived near a lot of Chaldeans (Catholic Iraqis) and once went into a store to purchase something small. As I started to get in line, a Muslim shouldered his way into line in front of me and not sure what to do, I let him get away with it. ALL Muslims (or at least most) are taught that they are better than us and this is how they treat any confrontation with us "whitey's". It is too bad, but I do not see the peaceful side of them and that is why I said in my earlier post. Keep an eye on all of them and watch what they do, as they might just be the next terrorist!
