Homeland chief: Fort Hood shootings no cause for anti-Muslim backlash

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.

These fifth columnists will be gurgeling the words, “Islam is a religion of peace” even as the Jihadists saw their heads off with a dull knife.

No backlash. Just deepening my already strongly developed belief.

It isn’t prejudging when it is based on your interaction with the group.

Because that’s not her job. Like any bureaucrat, her job is to protect her job, not to provide a service.

I'm glad her biggest concern is a "backlash" which never once manifested itself in the Bush years, and yet I don't see her doing anything at all about the targets of this terrorist attack.

BTW, why would she even be involved if this wasn't a terrorist attack? When will she admit that that's what this was?

Can it be any clearer that our government has been compromised ?

Took the FBI 10 months to recognize the shooting at an Israeli Air Terminal at LAX by a Muslim Taxi driver as a terrorist attack.

When it comes to Islamic Terrorism, we are on our own folks.

The REAL danger to this nation are military veterans, and these bible believing Christians! I pledge to you all to brutally enforce the new "Hate Crimes Act" and to go after the REAL enemy.

Much more important than working to protect America from further attacks by islamic murdering scum.

Let’s protect ‘feeelliinnggs’.

The shooting shouldn't be cause for backlash.

The queeran should!

Why don't we allow the Charlie Manson Cult "religion" status? Why don't we allow Jivaro headhunters to openly practice?

Their "religions" have as much value as the mohamicidal murder cult!

Napolitano reminds me of a festering canker soar.
