(I knew I shouldn’t say anything and would just be jumped on.)

You’re misunderstanding me.

I absolutely know lots of Moslem terrorism happens (although sometimes it seems they are “isolated” incidents rather than organized coalition efforts - Ft. Hood probably and the Snipers did it all on their own), but sometimes it seems we just latch onto every “scary object (backpack)” and talk all about how it has to be Moslems. Then end up with egg on face when it’s not (I35 Minneapolis bridge?).

Of COURSE there’s a reason for suspecting Moslems; they’re great at wanton destruction. I do it alot - but not every backpack makes me think “Moslem bomb”. That’s just “Henny Penny” to me. I’m just wondering if we can slow the automatic-Moslem declaration - which looks just like DU.

And I don't think muslim at every abandoned backpack either. In fact, on a news site I post on that has both conservatives and liberals I'm normally the one that is calling for not jumping to conclusions. Ironically, I'm often saying it to liberals who automatically claim every abandoned backpack is a bomb attempt by a crazed tea partiers...but I also issue the call to caution to conservatives as well...but they're not normally the ones flying off the handle calling for lynch mobs...that's almost always the libs.

And for the record, I may not be understanding your intent, but I did not "jump" on you either.

Actually, according to the department of homeland security, the Ft. Hood shooter had Al Qaeda connections as well... Link: http://homelandsecurityus.com/archives/3250
