On June 1st Private William Long was shot and killed, and Private Quinton Ezeagwula was terribly wounded and is still in the hospital outside a recruiting station in Little Rock, Arkansas. All we've been hearing in the news is how Dr. Tiller's murderer reflects on the entire Christian faith and pro-life movement, but the only thing you'll hear about Carlos Bledsoe, who now goes by the name Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad, is how he was a lone gunman. Not that he was a recent convert to Islam. Not how he studied in Yemen.
This double standard is something we've all grown use to, but it is no less shocking and disgusting. And while President Obama wasted no time in making a statement about the murder of Dr. Tiller, he still has yet to comment either on the domestic terrorist Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad or offer his condolences to the family of Private William Long. My heart goes out to Long's family, as well as Private Ezeagwula. I'll be praying for his speedy recovery.
Here's an interview with the father about the shooting. I was unable to watch it without crying. He is a former Marine, as well. God bless the men and women of the armed forces who gladly put on the uniform to defend our very lives, and pray for those who pay the ultimate price in our stead.
