Ft. Hood Massacre: The Killer was a Muslim

The only reason I mention the man's religion is that you can bet that's the single fact that the lunatic, racist, right wing fringe wingnut minority in this country will focus on.

The man killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and is a monster.

However his religion and the sound of his name should have no significance in this story.

No one referred to the Columbine killers as "American Protestants."

Could this maniac have terrorist ties? Yes. But we don't know that yet.

So let's not impugn the world's most populous religion based on one man, before we know hardly any of the facts.

Our constitution guarantees freedom of religion; to do so would be un-American.

Why would any rational thinking person draw any parallels between a lunatic screaming allahu akbar while he kills guns down innocent Americans and radical islam? Makes no sense.

I mean all major religions were lead by a warrior like mohammad and preach death to the infidel as a major tenant.

Crazy right-wing racists.

Spoken like a real dittohead, anonymous. So the investigations been completed and we know this guy shouted that?? Or are you merely parrotting heresay....

As much as you'd like the narrative of the worlds religions to be simply, "Muslim bad. Christian good." Things are probably a bit more complex than that.

But don't let facts get in the way of a catchy talking point--
