When he heard the news of the massacre at Ft. Hood, Solomon Hamideh’s reaction was no different than most.
“Everyone is disgusted,” said Hamideh, President of the San Antonio Islamic Center. “I don’t know an intellectual person that sees the killings and stuff and does not react to it with anger and disgust.”
Hamideh said every Muslim he’s talked with feels the same.
“Our feeling is exactly the same as what any normal person would feel,” said Sarwat Husain, President of the San Antonio chapter of the Council of American-Islamic Relations.
However, Husain said because the of suspect’s name and because of what he wore, many in the San Antonio Muslim community are worried about backlash.
“Somebody will take a swing at somebody, definitely that can happen,” said Husain

“Remarks by the President in the Rose Garden”
11:33 A.M. EST
SNIPPET: “THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. I want to begin by offering an update on the tragedy that took place yesterday at Fort Hood.
This morning I met with FBI Director Mueller and the relevant agencies to discuss their ongoing investigation into what caused one individual to turn his gun on fellow servicemen and women. We don’t know all the answers yet and I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts.
What we do know is that there are families, friends and an entire nation grieving right now for the valiant men and women who came under attack yesterday in one of the worst mass shootings ever to take place on an American military base. So from now until Veterans Day I’ve ordered the flags at the White House and other federal buildings to be flown at half-staff. This is a modest tribute to those who lost their lives even as many were preparing to risk their lives for their country. And it’s also recognition of the men and women who put their lives on the line everyday to protect our safety and uphold our values. We honor their service, we stand in awe of their sacrifice, and we pray for the safety of those who fight and for the families of those who have fallen. And as we continue to learn more about what happened at Fort Hood, this administration will continue to provide you updates in the coming days and weeks.”
