Across our political and media landscape, people are tripping over themselves to not call this event a terrorist attack despite the evidence to the contrary. Lets turn the tables a bit here. Imagine if the attacker, instead of jumping up and shouting Allahu akbar (God is great) as Maj. Hassan has been reported to have said during the shooting, instead shouted Jesus is Great!
Well, we would have a never-ending parade of folks telling us about the evils of intolerant, fundamentalist Christian beliefs. But, you see Christianity is not a protected class, yet the so-called religion of peace (as even President Bush was quoted as calling Islam), whose staunchest most radical practitioners celebrate the murder of innocents, gets a pass.
This is borderline madness and is exhibited further by the medias response.
The fact the alleged shooter is a Muslim nearly sent Newsweeks Evan Thomas into a fit of babble similar to that of Gen. Casey. I cringe that hes a Muslim, said Thomas. I mean, because it inflames all the fears. I think hes probably just a nut case. But with that label attached to him
I mean these things are tragic, but that makes it much worse.
Then there is this gem from Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago who pointed to America's love affair with guns for the shootings. Every day in society someones being killed, Daley pontificated following the shootings.Unfortunately, America loves guns. We love guns to a point that we see the devastation on a daily basis.
You see, its your fault for cherishing the right to bear arms. It had nothing to do with terrorism.

How these people can find their way out of bed every morning is beyond me. For that matter, why they’re let out of bed is beyond me.
