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.

The news is: “President bravely confronts Americans to prevent backlash against Muslims.”

Y’all know what he’s talking about, the rising public violence against Muslims, the backlashes we keep hearing about, but never see, bible thumping, gun toting Christians attacking innocent Muslims while they worship peacefully in their mosques.

The left would love it, just so they could spend the next fifty years using it to defend every kind of anti-Americanism that comes down the road. They want it so much, they imagine it happening, and make speeches to stop it.

You are too hard on terrorists, whats wrong with swapping spit with a terrorist anyways?

Terrorists are the enemies of Bush after all, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend, haven’t you heard? /sarc

"Janet Napolitano says her agency is working with groups across the United States to try to deflect any backlash against American Muslims..."

Islam has declared WAR on the West, you shiite-for-brains idiot.

Attempting to mitigate our people's RIGHT to defend themselves, or to fight back in every way against this aggressor, is TREASON.

Of course, there will be a backlash, you dolt. That's what sane people do when they're attacked. They respond in kind.

It was violence with a political aim, that is terrorism.

These idiot press writers need to drop the extreme PC Bias, it ain’t working.

So a terrorist kills unarmed men and women on US soil, and as a result HS says they are working to protect Muslims?

Well, Hussein did vow to protect them at all costs.

Just heard from the nitwit from South Carolina on this subject. Not worth repeating. But it’s increasingly weird how silent Juan McCain has become on controversial issues and how often we are hearing from Lindsey. It just might be related to Juan’s reelection bid in 2010. Time to leave the backstabbing and undermining to others for a year or so.

>> Homeland chief warns against anti-Muslim backlash

Shouldn’t they be worried about the anit-American frontlash.

It would be nice, for once, for the government to stop presenting us as a bunch of reactionary assholes. It’s getting old.

Preventing much of the backlash would be as simple as Muslim leaders standing up and condemning in very clear and uncertain terms

Yeah, they did such a swell job with that after 9/11.

Wow, even when they attack us the story is how awful we are.

No bias there, huh?

Napolitano should be hard at work suppressing the Islamofascist "backlash" against Americans.

The fact that she's not tells us all we need to know to understand that she's going to end up doing a perp walk right into federal court to be tried for treason.

Ah! Another “man made incident”, or whatever she calls them.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if she secured the homeland, instead of worrying about [non-existent] threats to the Muzzies? You know, like maybe, keeping an eye on people like the shoooter?

The Obama administration and liberals in general don’t give a damn about any body’s safety but their own. They are content to have policies that use the rest of the populace as guinea pigs for their insane PC policies.

At Fort Hood, these policies got 13 people killed.
