I wanted to start off by saying that the incident which occurred at Fort Hood was awful and sickening. God help the families of all of the victims. And how sad is this.. the instant I heard the news, I thought to myself — Please God let it NOT be a Muslim. Lo and behold, it was a psyscopath..with the name Hasan.
Years of p.r. and showing that Muslims in America truly care about their country, one idiot shatters it for everyone. I was on the bus back to the city and was being forced to listen to ‘ Robin Meade in the Morning’ (UGH I HATE THAT SHOW). Anyway, they began reporting on the killer saying that he had ‘ connections to Islamic extremism.’ ALSO that his mother was ten years ago buried at a mosque that the 9/11 hijackers once went to. God help that poor mosque which will now face so so so so much hate and scrutiny.
I was talking to my dad about it and was bemoaning the fact that this one person has forced Muslims to be on the defensive and be apologetic about the morons who live in this world, when my dad mentioned, that unfortunately– this country has had many psychopaths who go on shooting sprees. I remember last year.. I think in, Oklahoma, there was one as well. And in Seattle some psycho put car bombs in a bunch of policemen cars. Of course, not all of these people are Muslim– in fact, most of them aren’t. But because one person is Muslim, Fox news has to get on its terror alert radar and start its hate mongering again.
AGH!
