| Homeland chief warns against anti-Muslim backlash |

| Of course deliberately targeting and murdering U.S. Soldiers in the United States is perfectly ok right? 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. As opposed to protecting Americans against anti-american sentiments.... 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. Which her department may have failed to act upon. Probably so as to not offend the sensitivies of Muslims... 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. |

| #11 Talk with Iran, Hug Chavez and have a book exchange, ignore the obvious Muslim hatred for America... but in the end it is Fox News that is the real enemy of the Obama administration. Go figure. |

| #10 ...but time enough to broad brush and classify veterans as potential terrorists. |

| #9 Ms. Napolitano, who exactly do you think will constitute this "wave"? She can't have an opinion on that or she'd be prejudiced. But I'm sure she's got some ideas. Which makes her prejudiced. Does that make me a liberal? |

| #8 I'm not sure what she means by anti-Muslim 'sentiment'. Is she afraid of physical violence directed at Muslims? Many share ideological opinions of the religion Muslims adhere to, and IMO, that's expression of free speech. (For instance, I think it's a whacko death cult, given the teachings of the Koran, hatred towards Jews and non-believers and intolerance in general). But, on a personal note (and I'd guess many here feel the same) I could never bring myself to disparage another's religion, unwarranted, for the sake of 'lashing out'. To be honest (and I'm sure someone will be along to correct me if I'm wrong), I don't recall much of any 'backlash' immediately following the events of 9/11/01. Cold-blooded murder of unarmed individuals to 'do God's work', on the other hand, would seem to be deserving of at least some discussion. If Janet wants to believe that's 'backlash', too bad. |

| #7 Don't forget this woman considers rednecks, conservatives, and others as possible terrorists. Probably allotted all the agents to watching Christian Churches - that's where the real danger lies in her eyes.... |

| #6 Maybe there NEEDS to be a little bit of anti-Muslim backlash that causes them to stop and think about the things they do and say. |

| #3 Anybody notice that the FBI released an assessment of no terrorism nexus WHILE THE FIRST AGENTS WERE STILL DRIVING TO THE SCENE? No, this administration has no inherent bias to squelch any association of islam and terrorism. Anyone who reads the content of the Koran, and the Hadiths, must be struck by content that is utterly inconsistent with peaceful behavior with non-believers. I know of no other religion so violent in it's holy books or their subsequent interpretation. For those who think that this is a religion equal to Christianity or Buddhism or Judiasm, please find any parallels to the doctrine of taqiyya and kitman. This is NOT a religion, it is a political movement dressed up as one. Everywhere it has nested, has seen decay, decline and ruin. |

| #2 An interesting feature about this administration -- and one for which I think the nation will pay a dreadful price -- is that they have a consistent, passionate intensity for the wrong things. In the international arena we confront aggression, and rumors of aggression, with apologies. We bully our friends, ignore or slight our allies; yet, we bow and scrape before rogue regimes. The list could go on and touch the realms of energy, economy, etc. And now after a terrorist attack or, in the parlance of this odd administration, "after a man made disaster" and our focus is on a feared anti-Muslim backlash. Heaven help us. |

| #1 Meanwhile, DHS funnels millions of taxpayer dollars to CAIR, known to have terrorist ties to the enemies of this country. Irony. |
