The Washington correspondent for the left-leaning Nation magazine claims those who highlight the Fort Hood killer’s Muslim ties are inspiring “Islamophobia.”
Instead, John Nichols proposes in his blog entry that Americans regard Nidal Malik Hasan, whose terrorist shooting massacre left 13 dead and dozens more wounded, separately from his faith.
“There was clearly something wrong with this imperfect follower of Islam. But that does not mean that there is something wrong with Islam,” wrote Nichols. “Enlightened Americans … should be unsettled by the rush to judgment regarding not just this one Muslim but all Muslims.”
With evidence of Hasan’s link to Islamic extremists quickly stacking up, Nichols decried, “Because a soldier identified as the gunman had a name that led to the presumption that he was Muslim, the incident inspired an all-too-predictable explosion of Islamophobia.”

It is time for true Americans to realize that the Musliums hate America and are being trained to destroy America. They teach their hate of America and their Religeous Training and beliefs are against our Constitution. It is time that TRUE Americans take a stand and TAKE America back. If anyone desires to come and live in America, to do so, they should be notified that they are to follow American beliefs!! After all, when Americans travel abroad they are told to observe laws of that Nation. We have allowed Musliums to populate America and to practice their laws on our soil, this is wrong, we do not need our Country destroyed by divided laws from foreigners. If you are coing to reside in our Country, you do so under our laws or leave!!!.
