"I do feel I'm not guilty," Abdulhakim Muhammad told The Associated Press in a collect call from the Pulaski County jail. "I don't think it was murder, because murder is when a person kills another person without justified reason."
Muhammad told the AP he admitted to his actions to police and said he was retaliating against the U.S. military.
"Yes, I did tell the police upon my arrest that this was an act of retaliation, and not a reaction on the soldiers personally," Muhammad said. He called it "a act, for the sake of God, for the sake of Allah, the Lord of all the world, and also a retaliation on U.S. military."
In the interview, Muhammad also disputed his lawyer's claim that he had been "radicalized" in a Yemeni prison and said fellow prisoners that some call terrorists were actually "very good Muslim brothers."
Muhammad, 23, said he wanted revenge for claims that American military personnel had desecrated copies of the Quran and killed or raped Muslims. "For this reason, no Muslim, male or female, sane or insane, little, big, small, old can accept or tolerate," he said.
He said the U.S. military would never treat Christians and their Scriptures in the same manner.
"U.S. soldiers are killing innocent Muslim men and women. We believe that we have to strike back. We believe in eye for an eye. We don't believe in turning the other cheek," he said.
Asked whether he considered the shootings at the recruiting center an act of war, Muhammad said "I didn't know the soldiers personally, but yes, it was an attack of retaliation. And I feel that other attacks, not by me or people I know, but definitely Muslims in this country and others elsewhere, are going to attack for doing those things they did," especially desecrating the Quran.

There were a total of 292 U.S. Civil War veterans with Islamic names. Two Muslims fought in the American Revolutionary War, and more than 5,200 American Muslims fought in World War I.

Yes, American soldiers ARE killing innocent Muslim men and women. But they are also killing innocent Muslim children. And they are killing innocent Christian men, women and children. And they are killing innocent non-believers of both genders and all age groups as well. I would like to think that MOST of that killing is unintentional -- merely the result of incompetence, faulty technology or bad luck -- such as when a missile's targeting system fails or human error in ordering a strike on the second building on the street when it was supposed to be the THIRD building...but the victims are not any less dead. I know that some of the killing of innocents is intentional because it is described as "acceptable loss" when going after a "target of value." We will never know whether one of the children included in the "acceptable loss" column would have grown up to be the Iraqi or Afghan Abraham Lincoln...
But more mindless killing does nothing to "even the scales"...I feel badly for the families of the soldiers and hope this guy can get his brain re-wired while in prison.

I don't think he was being snarky, div. These countries need a liberator from home. There were children who saw the atrocities committed by the Taliban and others. Maybe when they have grown up, one of them will rise up.
It only takes one person...nobody thought some illiterate boy from Kentucky would liberate "dem blacks."

This is just another example in a long list of examples that show how all religion (not just Muslim) has caused so much needless bloodshed in the world.

I understand what he's saying. It wasn't right but American soldiers ARE killing Muslims. You can't glorify murder because your country told you to do it and demonize someone killing because they felt it was their moral obligation to God. Either way its wrong and I kind of understand what he's saying.

I caint figure the logic in fanatacism whether it is Islam, zion or Christianity. They are all the same. All have the same tenets of hate and war. I almost forgot, whatever the religion is in Burma, Thailand etc that keeps a fanatic government in power is beyond logic. The fact that every country has a military and the leaders use this military power to establish their Dictatorial hold on people. I do not believe that murder and disrespect are inheirited traits in the human being, rather the governments and their agents are responsible for the hatred in the world.

Yeah, at least he was not hiding in the trunk of a car shooting the innocents in the name of Allah! When will the truth sink in? This religion preys on the weak minded, leading them into acts that they would never normally complete.

So since the man who shot Tiller thinks what he did was justifyable, I guess that means all Christians condone murder? This is one Muslim, a convert no less.
Most American Muslims are not like this, if not all.
In fact, there are Muslims in the US Army. Muslims fought and died in WWI, WWII, Vietnam, and even the Civil War alongside soldiers of many other faiths.
I certainly don't condone this man's actions, but you're using it as fuel for your hate.

It makes perfect sense that one would kill someone who didn't have one earthly thing to do with any of your complaints. Of course, it doesn't matter WHO you kill, just as long as you kill. What a guy.
