Major Nidal Hasan's killing rampage at Fort Hood Army base in Texas has raised the familiar debate: Has Islam, his religion, anything to do with his action?Pundits are adamant to keep Islam out; it's a religion of peace after all. And President Obama affirmed it further: no loving God would look upon him with favor. The question is: Is Allah, the God of Islam amd Muslims, is a loving one? A group of friends at Joe's bar had a little candid chat about it.
