Homeland chief warns against anti-Muslim backlash
Google News ^ | Today | AP

Posted on 11/08/2009 9:04:07 AM PST by dila813

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.

Looks like everyone was right on the board, the White House is controlling the press and the coverage associated with the Fort Hood Shootings.

How about anti-Homeland-chief sentiment. Are we allowed to have that?

Since the guy shouted Alluha Akbar before he opened fire, it was clearly a terrorist attack. Maybe he was just acting by himself, but it was still terrorism! What is wrong with these jerks????

Backlash?

My own personal backlash is against clueless freakin' libtards who won't take the threat of domestic jihadis seriously!

Yes, most Muslims over here are not a problem-- but gosh darn it, we need to do some serious scrutiny of suspicious behavior.

I heard this and couldn’t believe it. They are more concerned about anti-Muslim backlash than really keeping us safe.

I feel like I am living in a totally different country.

The Muslim population of the United States stands the best chance of preventing any “Muslim backlash” from the Ft. Hood murders. Preventing much of the backlash would be as simple as Muslim leaders standing up and condemning in very clear and uncertain terms that what he did was egregious and no Muslim of good faith could condone it, period. No if’s, and’s or but’s, no making excuses. Just a clear cut condemnation of the act.

If they need some examples of how it's done the need look no further than the speeches and sermons after an abortion clinic is bombed or an abortion doc is murdered in the name of God.

I’m sure Janet would feel the same way if a citizen on the right committed a crime ... she would be “oh so concerned” that people didn’t paint all conservatives with that brush...

Does anyone know who wrote Janet's handbook about who she and her crew were looking at as being potential ‘terrorists’. When was that handbook written?

Islam should be treated like the German American Bund was in the 1930’s. I’ve said that LITERALLY for years.

Everyone, educate yourselves. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_American_Bund

Yes, but the press is getting weaker while the internet gets stronger. And so far he cannot control that.

“Janet Napolitano says her agency is working with groups across the United States to try to deflect any backlash against American Muslims”

Can there be any doubt that Obama and the Democrats are working to sabotage our country? Jihadists have infiltrated our military and are involved in a program of murdering Americans every chance they get. Our tax dollars are being used to protect these Jihadists and make sure no one interferes with their mission. Wake up America. How much more evidence do you need?

The news is: “President bravely confronts Americans to prevent backlash against Muslims.”

Y’all know what he’s talking about, the rising public violence against Muslims, the backlashes we keep hearing about, but never see, bible thumping, gun toting Christians attacking innocent Muslims while they worship peacefully in their mosques.

The left would love it, just so they could spend the next fifty years using it to defend every kind of anti-Americanism that comes down the road. They want it so much, they imagine it happening, and make speeches to stop it.

"Janet Napolitano says her agency is working with groups across the United States to try to deflect any backlash against American Muslims..."

Islam has declared WAR on the West, you shiite-for-brains idiot.

Attempting to mitigate our people's RIGHT to defend themselves, or to fight back in every way against this aggressor, is TREASON.

Of course, there will be a backlash, you dolt. That's what sane people do when they're attacked. They respond in kind.

So a terrorist kills unarmed men and women on US soil, and as a result HS says they are working to protect Muslims?

Well, Hussein did vow to protect them at all costs.

Just heard from the nitwit from South Carolina on this subject. Not worth repeating. But it’s increasingly weird how silent Juan McCain has become on controversial issues and how often we are hearing from Lindsey. It just might be related to Juan’s reelection bid in 2010. Time to leave the backstabbing and undermining to others for a year or so.

Shouldn’t they be worried about the anit-American frontlash.

It would be nice, for once, for the government to stop presenting us as a bunch of reactionary assholes. It’s getting old.

Napolitano should be hard at work suppressing the Islamofascist "backlash" against Americans.

The fact that she's not tells us all we need to know to understand that she's going to end up doing a perp walk right into federal court to be tried for treason.

Ah! Another “man made incident”, or whatever she calls them.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if she secured the homeland, instead of worrying about [non-existent] threats to the Muzzies? You know, like maybe, keeping an eye on people like the shoooter?

The Obama administration and liberals in general don’t give a damn about any body’s safety but their own. They are content to have policies that use the rest of the populace as guinea pigs for their insane PC policies.

At Fort Hood, these policies got 13 people killed.

Say you are a Vegas bookmaker. There is a death match that if you handicap the right way will make you rich beyond your wildest dreams. The opposing sides are:
1). A country that aborts it's young, feminizes it's male gender, disarms it's population and is in a serial case of denial that war has been declared on it.

versus

2). A warlike, religiously fanatical culture that is unrestrained in reproduction, adept at merciless guerrilla tactics and is not adverse to using civilian populations for cover and the illusion of assimilation.

What are the odds that #1 survives?

You don't understand Islam. It does you no good to "stand up". With Islam when one Moslem has a beef with another Moslem who has chosen to not take it before a sharia court, what he has to do is sneak up on him in the night and murder him and his family in their beds.

Standing up and speaking out about Moslem atrocities is the way you get murdered.

I see no way out of this dilemma other than banning adherents of Islam from America. The belief system is incompatible with life here.

Hey, Nappy?(*)

The way to prevent the backlash is to prevent terrorist attacks by Muslims on our soil.

And in case you forgot, you camel carpet muncher, that's SUPPOSED to be your JOB.

Cheers!

Quoting the name used by KFYI 550 AM's talk show host, Bruce Jacobs, for Napolitano.

I use to give “some” muzzies a break, however that is no longer the case.
Call me a racist or whatever else you want.
I distrust ALL muzzies. I wish all their churches, err,......terrorist hideouts and bunkers would close today and deport every last one of them.
Their freedom of religion in America license needs to be revoked.
