Arkansas recruiting center killing suspect: 'This was a jihadi attack'

Abdul Hakim Muhammad finally pleads guilty to the shooting to kill one military officer and wounding another in Arkansas last June. He also claims that he is part of al Qaeda and that he, being Islamic has the right to fight anyone who rages a war against Islam or Muslims. He said that he was mad at the United states for what they have done in the past and had shoot at the people with the intentent of killing them. He also wishes not to plead insanity, which his laywer wanted him to do.
I feel that if this guy pleads guilty against his lawyer’s wishes we should take that into consideration when we sentence him. I also feel that we have to keep in mind what we do to him as a punishment, because if he really is part of the al Qaeda we never know how the others of the group will feel about our actions and try to get back at us even though Abdul is an American citizen. But I do feel that something needs to be done about this. It is not an action that we can risk having happen again, especially at the state of almost panic we are in about any sort of terrorist action.
