A soldier stationed at Schofield Barracks in Honolulu has been arrested for alleged ties to the Islamic State, according to the FBI.

At least the FBI got him before we had another violent incident take place. Jimmy Stewart

Maybe this is the problem with our anti-terrorism system of justice. It took a year of watching this guy. How many innocent lives could he have taken while being watched? Thankfully he didn’t get the chance. Jack Penty

This racist hysteria that’s gripping America is making Republicans develop asinine policies to counter an overblown threat. Tyler Vincent

Most of the scaremongers who are freaking out probably weren’t alive back when times were really tough. We’re living in a much safer time now. Ranbir Calay

If the allegations against this soldier prove to be true, authorities need to take action. Garth Hogan

Better start screening our soldiers instead of immigrants to our country. Edward Thompson

Hawaii is also the state that was fighting the travel ban. Makes you think, doesn’t it? Mark Rubello

Our followers shared their thoughts on reports from the FBI saying a Hawaiibased soldier was arrested for alleged Islamic State ties. The state of Hawaii is very “tolerant” so no surprise here. Thank God we have a president who understands the real evil threat that lies in radical Islam. @Realchristine4 I’m just shocked that it wasn’t a Republican lawmaker who was arrested. Normally they’re the ones selling our country out to our enemies. @Born2Rezist It would be Hawaii the place where a soldier is suspected to have ties to ISIS. @patty_guynn
