Newsweek's Evan Thomas regretted the Fort Hood mass murderer, Major Nidal Hasan, is a Muslim because of how that reality will be abused by conservatives. On this weekend's Inside Washington, Thomas, now Editor at Large with Newsweek after stints as Assistant Managing Editor and Washington bureau chief, rued:
I cringe that he's a Muslim. I mean, because it inflames all the fears. I think he's probably just a nut case. But with that label attached to him, it will get the right wing going and it just -- I mean these things are tragic, but that makes it much worse.

So he's saying all left- wings are terrorists lovers ?
Certainly enablers.
Reality is such a bitch for these morons...
People are dead and wounded, Evan. How exactly can we make that worse?
Couldnt have said it better.......
Not much thinking from Evan Thomas. Head in the sand/up his rear end is so appropriate, TexasCajun.
A propagandist covering for a jihadist or just an ignorant idiot?
Exactly. And the left would stab their eyes with picks to avoid seeing it.
Idiot HATE-Filled liberals will never address this as the truth of their love for islam over that of Christianity takes supremacy.
I bet the lying liberal does not want to remember the ISLAMIC scum who rolled a grenade into the tent of others and MURDERED them. That particular form of human trash got off from the death penalty...bet that gives a warm fuzzy to these liberals.
I just bet if some towel head blew up his house he would talk differently
C3p0: But nobody minds when Right wingers are inflamed.
Han Solo: Thats because Right wingers dont rip droids arms out of their sockets when they lose, Muslims have been known to do that you know.
c3p0:R2d2 new plan, let the Muslum win.
The picture makes it clear the left wing just wants to drink another latte’.
What happens if the PC crap that allowed this terrorist to rise to such a position of authority and trust allows another to become an F15 Strike Eagle driver carrying a couple of JDAMs?
Hey Brent if you were a real journalist you know not to be redundant.
I'm sorry us crazy right-wingers know terrorism when we see it. You see Brent, unlike Liberal retards like yourself, we don't have to pretend reality isn't real; or invent names/labels to make our own views palatable to ourselves. Take baby killing for example: we know what is, you Libscum know what its; yet you have to call it abortion so you can sleep at night. Brent do us real Americans a favor, and go play with your toys in the corner like a good wittle libtard. Just stay the f**k out of the adults way.
Evan Thomas is an ignorant idiot.
FACTS are such an inconvenient thing when one (e.g., the MSM) is first and foremost a liberal apologist for heinous acts.
Brent is the good guy, he’s reporting on Newsweek’s Evan Thomas. ...the first line of the story.
What an ignorant fool.
How many ROP TERRORISTS have to murder Americans before the disgusting media wake up.
Ofcourse they may be in mortal FEAR that if they say ANYTHING against the Islamofascist they will be next.
Evan Thomas? What does one expect from the grandson of Socalist leader, Norman Thomas.
This isnt an isolated incident, it's part of a long term pattern that our media willfully ignores.
Exactly:
Sure this guy was a nutcase, but isnt every American who turns to Islam a nutcase?
What Thomas means by worse is that it will make it more difficult for jihadists to stealthily train and prepare for terrorist acts inside this country.
To Thomas, that is worse.
So he was “just” a nut case...motivated by his religion. We can’t be allowed to make any connection.
Political correctness is literally causing death.
Wait until a media agency is attacked for being “Western” or saying something the cult doesn’t like. We will get to laugh and shrug.
OTOH, we are told not to make too much of the "religion" of muslim murderers around the world.
Let's play "which one of these doesn't fit with the others?
Millions of "little people" can be killed by terrorists, and the media will blame not the terrorist, but the victims. If terrorists were stupid enough to target the NYTimes, the terrorist's best friend so that's unlikely, now that would be another story. Then you'd see the hammer drop.
I have one ?. The guy in Dallas was going to blow up a building.
He didn’t ACTUALLY kill anyone (FBI sting) yet he is being charged as a terrorist.
This islamofascist hasan kills 13 and injures 31. Yet he is a “poor mistreated Muslim”, even though he yelled allahu akbar.
Hello, who is kidding who?
Purge or be Purged
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find only things evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelogus
Tragic he was a Muslim? When I heard the shootings were at an army base, the first thing I wondered was it a terrrorist attack by Muslims. And it was. What these liberal idiots should wonder about is the possibility for more attacks by Muslims. The army better think about arming its soldiers.
This was a case of ritualistic genocide, not just murder.There is a significant difference.
God defeated Allah at Fort Hood.He also did not let Hasan die to gain a seat next to his perverted god.
Political Correctness is used to keep America blind to what actually goes on inside a Mujihads heart mind. The left has worked so hard at making sure that America does not see its war against Terror as a religious war, when in fact the enemy sees it as EXACTLY that. A religious war.
This is , as Bush said, a war against evil. And evil came to Fort Hood in the form of a jihadi who was in fact possessed by Allah.For me this incident has shades of the movie Exorcist.
And Good has triumphed, even though so many innocents died.
This truth of which we speak needs to me shared with America as much as possible.America needs to know of the evil which it faces, at long last. No matter what the left want to make of it.
The religious practice of the Mujihad needs to be explained to every one. There is an inner prayer designed to connect one with the self righteous energy of Allah, who literally takes over the body and mind of the jihadine.Thats what happened here.A kind of Muslim spiritual possession.Hasan was not insane, or deranged. He was just fired up on his prayers and energized.He was executing a religious ritual which he believed would open the gates of heaven for him.Hasan expected to be killed so that he and his victims would end up basking in the radiance of Allah, which is the spiritual goal of the Mujahid. That is what makes this incident religious genocide. THIS IS A WAR CRIME.No different that the burning of the Jews by Hitler.
The MSM will not properly inform the public about this religious practice of jihadism.It would no longer be a war on terror, It would be a war against Islamofascism and religious genocide.The terrorists could no longer be redefined as criminals by Obama , who should be Mirandized with the benefits of due process that Bush had made sure to remove, as deserved. These secret jihadist teachings now flourish on US soil, and within our own military. They must be rooted out and utterly destroyed.
To a Leftist, allowing the Right-wing to become “energised” is a far greater evil than any Islamic mass-murder.
Wightring terrorists pale in the face of real terorists.
Media deeply saddened.

Yeah, it would have been a LOT easier for the media if it had been Christian who shouted, “Praised be Jesus the Lord!” before he shot everyone.
Then they would have felt free to tell the truth instead of covering up.

Hey Evan, find anything up there?
Like maybe, your BRAIN?
Yes, we all know it only those “right wingers” who get upset when Muslim jihadists kill Americans in the US. Everyone else is with the Liberal and loves it when that happens.
Ordinary nut cases don't begin their acts by yelling:
Muslim terrorists generally do.
When thousands heard the Giant Voice (loudspeaker system at Ft. Hood) say:
"Seek cover immediately...close and cover all windows..close air conditioning vents"
they got a hint about how it could be worse, much much worse.
And will be if things continue as they are.
I think that's the crux of the MSM issue. They hate Christianity so much that they will align themselves with anything and anyone who joins them in their campaign to damage it.
One amazing capability that humans have is the ability to generalize. They can take isolated incidents and see the patterns between them and then react to new situations appropriately because they can transfer learning from other experiences. They do not have to be taught about each new situation they encounter. Other mammals can do this also, but nowhere near to the extent of humans.
In this case, the left wants us to suspend our generalizing ability, and treat each incident of Muslim violence as if there were no pattern, as if we should not transfer any past learning when we consider it.
When it comes to pet peeves of the left, generalizing is called "discrimination" or "prejudice." Of course, the ability to discriminate and also the ability to judge a situation ahead of time are also highly useful human abilities.....
Oh, absolutely the situation itself can get worse. But whether or not we’re inflamed about it isn’t what will make it worse.
