I guarantee you that if 9 Muslims flew planes into NYC today, it would be spun as “nine individuals who were only acting on their oppression and discrimination. We must seek to understand why they would go to such lengths to make such a statement. Oh, and by the way, sorry about those accidentally killed by the buildings when they fell. Sorry for their families. But if Bush had not offended these poor souls after the Sept. 11, 2001 attack, these tortured souls would not have done this.”
For the sake of those he killed, this protest must get louder.
Send email, call news stations. Demand answers. Demand that the POS in the oval office do something to stop the next Hasan, or come clean and tell us he is with Hasan. Demand it.
Demand that all Muslims be discharged from the Army, Navy and Air force.
For a lot of people who are “well-educated”, the only reason not to like America is that we have been capitalist-imperialist pigs, taking advantage of the down-trodden in the Third World. If someone’s hatred doesn’t fit into that model, they won’t get it.
My own big sister was telling me we brought it on ourselves when 9/11 happened. She didn’t get it that people could hate America because it’s the headquarters of the infidel, and we’re all the infidel. I had to remind her that the people who died that day were guilty of absolutely nothing. They just showed up for work.
I think fewer people are that ignorant now. The media would do a bit of spinning if it happened again, but the public is much wiser, for the most part.
