Great Read

One of the most maddeningly and sickening things about the shootings in Ft. Hood is how predictably many right-wingers -- and naturally FoxNews -- jumped on "blaming ALL the Muslims" bandwagon.

Here's a wonderful interview of a Muslim officer, a long-time military veteran, on the shooter and Islam itself. There are thousands of members of the military who follow Islam, just as there are several million adherents in this nation of 300 plus million. They are no more terrorists than the average Christian is one because of Tim McVeigh, the Klan, the IRA, or various shooters at abortion clinics.

Fuck those bigots who say otherwise.

Meanwhile, if you want to read about what makes a terrorist, a terrorist, and how Islamic terrorism developed in an accurate sense, allow me once again to endorse this book.
