Sorry to hear Asher.
And thanks everyone. But it wasn't unexpected and she was prepared -- my Grandpa died a couple months before, right after their 50th anniversary. They had a good run."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

We're all devastated of course. Not all of us knew your grandma but just the fact someone so close to here has died has us all tore up.Originally posted by Asher View Post

What Asher said. Minnesota's basically Canada Lite eh, so this news has been utterly devastating for me. It's only by the grace of god that I'm not near any sharp objects right now...

Apparently, every 13 minute someone is killed in a car accident in the US - I assume that you guys are in a permanent state of shock and grief. I mean 155 dead per day and more than 40.000 per year must be a severe hit.
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

no one likes to see people shot to death by crazy people.
Hasan wasn't crazy.
Hasan, the sole suspect in the massacre of 13 fellow US soldiers in Texas, attended the controversial Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Virginia, in 2001 at the same time as two of the September 11 terrorists, The Sunday Telegraph has learnt. His mother's funeral was held there in May that year.
The preacher at the time was Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born Yemeni scholar who was banned from addressing a meeting in London by video link in August because he is accused of supporting attacks on British troops and backing terrorist organisations.
Hasan's eyes "lit up" when he mentioned his deep respect for al-Awlaki's teachings, according to a fellow Muslim officer at the Fort Hood base in Texas, the scene of Thursday's horrific shooting spree.
As investigators look at Hasan's motives and mindset, his attendance at the mosque could be an important piece of the jigsaw. Al-Awlaki moved to Dar al-Hijrah as imam in January, 2001, from the west coast, and three months later the September 11 hijackers Nawaf al-Hamzi and Hani Hanjour began attending his services. A third hijacker attended his services in California.
Hasan was praying at Dar al-Hijrah at about the same time, and the FBI will now want to investigate whether he met the two terrorists.
