Fort Hood anti-Muslim Backlash immediate.
Funny thing about this story is that there is no “lead,” no summary or topic sentence, just backlash examples and background information on Hasan.
His name had barely been released, his heritage and history not immediately known, but the reaction was fast and furious.
“Jihad at Fort Hood?” read the headline of a post on the Jihad Watch blog just moments after Nidal Malik Hasan was identified as the alleged perpetrator of a mass shooting at the Texas military base that killed 12 people and wounded 31 others.
“The name tells us a lot, does it not, senator?” Fox News’s Shep Smith said while interviewing Kay Bailey Hutchison, a Texas senator.
This is also where I become very critical of the older civil rights and anti-discrimination organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center. There is not one word today on the possible impending backlash from this attack on either their blog or their website. Yet, if you read the linked story above you’ll see progressive/liberal bloggers (ideologically, the SPLC’s fellow travelers) throughout the blogosphere are talking/cautioning/warning and imploring people to resist collective punishment/retaliation. The SPLC does note anti-Muslim attacks from time to time, but it seems to be wearing blinders the rest of the time when it comes to Muslims.

Where’s the backlash? The linked article mentions one phone call and one blog headline. Pathetic!

So some people are spouting hate on blog comment threads. What’s special about that?

the usual length of a hotair thread is 300 to 600 comments.
go hang out with your murtad partisan hack buddy and the rest of Jafi-opsphere, Zack.

Shams, Which murtad buddy? And I am not the one who’s linking to and reading the jafi-osphere, you are.
As for my point, it was simply that you trivialize ‘backlash’ by looking at Internet postings.

I’d just like to point out that it’s not even business hours yet where SPLC is located (Montgomery, Alabama). Not every blog/website is updated 24/7. Yet.

Let’s see: This Maggot Muslim Murderer called out “god is Great” while he committed Mass murder.
THERE SHOULD BE A BCAKLASH – Not a bashing of innocent people, but a reaction to this that INCLUDES more investigations of Muslim soilders – Unfortunatley this maggot, and the maggots of 9-11 have made this a necessary reality. Otherwise, this will happen again and again, as with the grenade killing by muslim soilder in Iraq. FACTS ARE FACT!

until we fold America’s tents on the UNJUST wars of proselytization in Afghanistan and Iraq, this stuff is going to keep happening.

No matter how you frame this debate, the issue always comes back to Islam. Once again we see a Muslim doing what the Quran teaches (9:111).
Once again we see many people in the West making excuses for actions done by Muslims in the name of their god. We see false comparisons to other vile actions in which there is no record of the murderer yelling “Jesus saves” “Via Buddha” “This is for Joseph Smith” or whatever.
Many people have good intentions in defending “moderate” Muslims from backlash and intolerance but these same intentions (“only a few bad guys that misinterpret Islam”) are the ones that allow the hate and violence to thrive.
Until Muslims understand that Islam has a problem, nothing will change. Muslims need to ask themselves why hate and violence come so easy to Muslims. Muslims need to take a long hard look at the teachings of the Quran and the life of the man after whose name they say “Praise be unto him”. Muslims need to be told that aspects of their faith and many of their daily practices, especially in Islamic countries” are vile and unacceptable. In case you don’t know I am refering to the institutionalized discrimination and persecution of non-Muslims, women, jews and gays in Muslims countries. Our leader give Muslims a pass on this as if it were not relevant. Why should we think that Muslims in the West are any different from those in Egypt, Iran, Pakistan, malaysia, Lybia, etc….?
Bad times are coming. I blame Islam and people in the West that refuse to be honest about these things.

Oh hey everyone, look J Kactuz is here to tell us about our faith. Gather around!

I’ll tell you about your faith – your god requires you to kill, enslave or convert all other humans. Nothing else about your religion is important.

There are actually two problems:
1. Islamophobios like J. Kactuz
2. Anti-Americanos like null
Once we mop up that mess, we should be able to move on.

I’m kind of surprised Buzz, because I think I’ve been pretty clear on these boards that I don’t hold any particular animus towards America. There are some European countries you couldn’t pay me to live in, but I certainly don’t feel that way about the US and have no hesitancy in saying its one of, if not the best, countries on earth.

You tend to react pretty negatively to me and pro-American attitudes….and you couldn’t wait to throw your confetti and do your little dance when you heard about American Malik Nadal Hassan.
Am I confused? I think you have made yourself exceedingly clear.
Anyway, the point is the same. A bomb went off in Palestine in the 1960s and the carnage keeps piling up. Two sides that hate each other.
null 12:36 pm on November 6, 2009 Permalink
I don’t dislike you for being pro-American buzz. There may be certain opinions I don’t like, but that has nothing to do with your American-ness.
I wasn’t throwing confetti, and I certainly didn’t do a little dance. That’s sick. Are you really accusing me of being happy that a man murdered these young people?
It doesn’t mean I’m anti-American to point out that gun violence is a real problem, and the odd shoot up is not really out of place in the American landscape. There was one at the same base, last year. This probably has to with your right/ease to bear arms, which is heavily restricted in other parts of the world, more than anything else. I’m not saying Americans or bad, or wishing them ill. That’s all.

Just read Infidel by Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. She is an intelligent brave Somali, who is an ex Muslim. She is living under a fatuous Fatwa. She really drops the goods on this so called peaceful religion of Islam.

Let me be very clear about this: I don’t like Islam. Let me also assure you that I probably know more about Islam than any of you. I have read the Quran many times, the ahadeeth, Tabari, Hisham, Kathir, etc… I visit Muslims site regularly.
The facts are simple: Islam teaches hate and violence. Your dear prophet attacked his neighbors dozens of times. If you read the Traditions you will find stories of attack, plunder, murder, enslavement of men women and children, rape of captives, torture and abuse of women.
The lastest atrocity is just another incident of many that have happened and that will occur.
Even so, Muslims refuse to consider the role of Islam in all of this, choosing to blame 14 other things.
Yes, there are good Muslims, but I don’t think these good people will stand up for freedom and equality when the cards are down. Like I said, most Muslims in most Islamic societies do not stand up for non-Muslims. That tells me all I need to know about how much you care about freedom, equality and human rights..
You guys can laugh, ignore me or hate me, I don’t care. I do what I have to do and I say what needs to be done. The future will not be nice. You and your children will suffer, as will all of us. I bame islam. Muslims do not want peace and cannot live peaceful with the rest of humanity. If you read the news, Muslims can’t even live peacefully with each other.
Why don’t Muslims ever ask themslves why hate and violence come so easily to Islam?

Well…..at a quarter of the worlds population and growin’, you best hope you are wrong about muslims, twodigit. White christians are on their way to extinction……the future of xianity is black, yellow and brown. Do you think the multi-hued will hold special affection for the revnants of Big White Christian Bwana?
I don’t.
If you are correct about our intentions……it is not OUR children that will suffer….but yours.

These are the reasons I HATE Islam:
1. Islam teaches hate.
2. Muslims never ask why hate and violence come so easily to Islam
3. Muslims choose to blame 14 other things.
4. Islam teaches hate! Did I say that already?

Hey Kactuz Kunt, maybe you should Google Asma Jehangir and Hina Jillani before talking out of your ass on that claim.
Get lost you worthless maggot.

13 infidels murdered and 29 infidels wounded – Muslims claim they are the victims.

Count the bodies in Iraq and Palestine, kevin.
1000:1? 10,000:1? More?
I would say that the comparison is faulty but they are both works of madness. The former is probably hatred. The later, greed.
