Homeland chief: Fort Hood shootings no cause for anti-Muslim backlash
AP ^ | 11/8/09

Posted on 11/08/2009 2:35:58 AM PST by malkee

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — The U.S. Homeland Security secretary says she is working to prevent a possible wave of anti-Muslim sentiment after the shootings at Fort Hood in Texas.

Janet Napolitano says her agency is working with groups across the United States to try to deflect any backlash against American Muslims following Thursday’s rampage by Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a Muslim who reportedly expressed growing dismay over the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The shootings left 13 people dead and 29 wounded.

Napolitano was in the United Arab Emirates on Sunday for talks with security officials and a meeting with women university students in Abu Dhabi.

These fifth columnists will be gurgeling the words, “Islam is a religion of peace” even as the Jihadists saw their heads off with a dull knife.

No backlash. Just deepening my already strongly developed belief.

It isn’t prejudging when it is based on your interaction with the group.

I'm glad her biggest concern is a "backlash" which never once manifested itself in the Bush years, and yet I don't see her doing anything at all about the targets of this terrorist attack.

BTW, why would she even be involved if this wasn't a terrorist attack? When will she admit that that's what this was?

Can it be any clearer that our government has been compromised ?

Took the FBI 10 months to recognize the shooting at an Israeli Air Terminal at LAX by a Muslim Taxi driver as a terrorist attack.

When it comes to Islamic Terrorism, we are on our own folks.

The shooting shouldn't be cause for backlash.

The queeran should!

Why don't we allow the Charlie Manson Cult "religion" status? Why don't we allow Jivaro headhunters to openly practice?

Their "religions" have as much value as the mohamicidal murder cult!

We don’t need massacres to justify anti-Muslim “backlash”. Islam is a repellent totalitarian system (not a religion) with the stated goal of using violence to subjugate and forcibly convert non-adherents. Resistance to this anti-Western system must be commensurate with the threat, which is total.

How about you work to prevent attacks by Muslims, hmmmm? Instead, normal Americans become targets of your wrath for possibly having [***gasp***] impure thoughts about Islam.

Do you know what's going to cause an anti-Muslim backlash? Blaming ordinary Americans, like Janet Napolitano is doing. The problem for the elites is America and Americans. In spite of Muslims murdering Americans from NY to LA and seemingly every week another plot by Muslims to murder Americans is broken up, the problem is the reaction by Americans to murder and being targeted for murder.

Let's see, we're racists if we want to secure the borders from invasion by tens of millions of illegal aliens. We're homophobes, if we don't go along with the latest liberal fad of legally recognized homosexual marriage. We want sick people to die quickly, if we don't go along with the biggest power grab in American History.

I've been fed up with this for years and I think that critical mass is being reached among ordinary Americans. Just ask Rep. Scozzafava, Gov. Corzine and Creigh Deeds.

What's the public response going to be to organized anti-Semitic, pro-terrorist protests on university campi?

They are traitors.

The Mohammedans want to overcome us and present us with the options Mohammedans have offered all peoples they have conquered: Conversion, Slavery, or Death. Many will die anyway, because the Mohammedans love death. They love killing. They kill each other daily. It serves their demonic deity.

Well, it appears that we cannot count on the US Homeland Security Agency to protect our country; nor can we count on our president to protect our country or support our troops who are trying valiantly to do that very thing in far off crapholes. Our leaders are failing us citizens, both military and civilian, and it's becoming more apparent with each day that dawns, we are pretty much on our own.

Message to Janet Napolitano, Barack Hussein Obama, and their islamofascist buddies:

I will not submit.

Maybe it is no cause to be anti muslim, but it certainly adds to my list of many reasons to be anti Islam. Nobody will ever convince me that Islam is anything but murderous cult belief system.

Here’s a link to a web site from another video on youTube while chasing this story http://www.revolutionmuslim.com/ They send get well wishes to the vile muslim major & have several videos. We have indeed “home grown” terrorist groups here in America and they are indeed Muslim. All I ever needed to learn about Islam I learned on 9-11. May they ALL drown in pig pi$$. Like 0bama said “I will side with the muslims”

“America apologizes to muslim planners for tomorrow’s school massacre, for possible backlash by right wing extremists at some point in the future.” -Janet “comfortable shoes” Napoletano

The liberal idiots living in their biodomes are suicide bound and I believe they actually want to be subservient to muslims. It’s kinda like stockholm syndrome. Same reason they voted for a guy with such a similar name to the mass murderer of 9/11, aside from the fact that Zero a marxist- another plus for the commie crowd. This is the only explanation for their warped behavior. Liberalism truly IS a mental disorder. Could we have some mental health experts chime in here?

Two bad the muzzie major didn’t go on a rampage in the Capitol building and target the most left wing members of congress. He’d have plenty to choose from.

As for Janet the clueless, she should marry the other Janet....Janet Reno and the both of them should just GO AWAY.

Because Islamic terrorists and their sympathizers working in the USA with ulterior motives for the worldwide caliphate and jihad are no doubt already wormed into and moving around within, protected via insane political correctness, her own compromised agency, the Department of Homeland Security.

This is corruption and borderline sedition of the worst kind, folks.

Look at their misplaced priorities.

Did she even condemn the shootings?

They will never hang that guy. He will get 10 years max, or dismissal from the military and eventual freedom psychological grounds after some token time in the shrink ward. You heard it here first.

Zero and his crew don’t care one bit about us as Americans. He is a damn muzzie himself. He wouldn’t care one bit if every American who isn’t a muzzie were killed. Especially the white ones. Does anyone here think that his “health bill”is for the good of working Americans? And his opposition in government is ,for the most part ,either too stupid to see it, or doesn’t care .
The time is NOW folks. We need states to secede and attach the military equipment and personell within their borders.
We need the few congress people that do care to walk out and go home to organize.
