Majority of Americans are worried Fort Hood shooting will ‘prompt a backlash’ against Muslims in the military.

The Plum Line’s Greg Sargent points to a new Rasmussen poll showing that 57 percent of the American public is “concerned” that “the shooting at Fort Hood will prompt a backlash against Muslims serving in the military.” From the poll:

How concerned are you that the shooting at Fort Hood will prompt a backlash against Muslims serving in the military- very concerned, somewhat concerned, not very concerned, not at all concerned?

23% Very concerned
34% Somewhat concerned

29% Not very concerned
11% Not at all concerned
2% Not sure

On Sunday, Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey also said he was concerned that the actions of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan may “cause a backlash” against Muslim soldiers, and Homeland Security Janet Napolitano warned against an “anti-Muslim sentiment.” Nevertheless, last night on Fox News, Bill O’Reilly said that it was good to try to win the hearts and minds of Muslims — but only because the U.S. can’t kill them all. “Barack Obama wants to win hearts and minds in the Middle East and in the Muslim world, which is a good thing,” said O’Reilly. “And you know that, as a soldier, we can’t kill all the Muslims. So we want to win as many hearts and minds of good, moderate Muslims as we can.”

    I’d say yesterday’s assault on the Greek Orthodox priest all but confirms it.

    The “Muslim Mafia” author braying for a burning of all Islamic literature (including the Quran) and Bryan Fisher of the AFA calling for the purge of Muslims in the military are adding fuel to the fire.

    God Damn these people for abusing the concept of free speech that makes this country so great.


  2. Zooey says:

    I think we are right to be concerned. There are a lot of ignorant red-necked chunk heads out there.


  3. dbadass says:

    Why restrict your kneejerk reactionary bullshit behavior to only those Muslims serving their country?


  4. dbadass says:

    Hey Zooey go easy on Jasen. It isn’t his fault that his mom couldn’t spell…


  5. evangenital says:

    It’s good to see that a majority of Americans are concerned about a possible backlash against Muslims in this nation.

    it’s not so good to see so much “fear of the other” fostered in the Armed Forces of this nation, whether it be misogyny, homphobia, racism, anti-semitism, hatred of Catholics and Muslims, or any other biases nurtured by the white protestant majority.


  6. Zooey says:

    db,

    It’s Jasen’s fault he hit a guy on the head with a tire iron because he “thought” the guy was an Arab terrorist (asking him directions…sheesh).


  7. Shayne says:

    I guess Jasen missed all that discipline sh#t Marines are supposed to learn. Of course when your early childhood is spent with a woman who can’t spell Jason …


  8. dbadass says:

    Jasen is a meathead and seems to have been destined from birth to be a meathead. Some shit is just beyond our control…


  9. evangenital says:

    FoxNews and white-wing talk radio are directly responsible for all the hysteria and craziness.

    They need to be held accountable for his stuff.

    When will FoxNews start inciting these kooks to actual violence?


  10. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    this is how cancervatives show their “support for the troops” by being divisive scumbags and creating tension amongst the ranks.

    Bellow Loudly forgets that Bush said we were going into Iraq to free the poor oppressed muslims suffering under a brutal dictator. They even called it Operation Iraqi Freedom.

  15. tom says:

    Meanwhile, Limpballs, Bleeech!, Little Seanie Vanity and all their rant-jockey cronies are hyping the Fort Hood massacre as “the first terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9-11″.

    It is good to know that the majority of Americans are level-headed patriots. Now, if we could just do something about the self-promoting bastards who are pushing the terrorist attack meme without regard to the interest of our country.

    We want to win the hearts and minds of good, moderate republicans, so we can be safe from the radical religious fundamentalists that continually threaten our country. There are so few of them, however, that it becomes difficult to separate and not group the whole party into a threat to our free way of life.

    It’s not like anti-Muslim sentiment started last week. It’s already so bad that our Christian President is often subjected to it.

    let’s face it. the only reason why cancervatives care about what happened at ft. hood is to try and use it as a politcal “point” against the president.

    if they really cared about the troops, they wouldn’t have rallied agaist the 21st century G.I. bill, given them the body armor they needed in iraq and wouldn’t make them serve back to back combat 123 month stints.


  28. Xisithrus says:

    Londra thinks that a marine hitting a priest is related to Hasan? And that we havent seen enough people hit people with tire irons because they think that anyone who doesnt speak english is a terrorist?

    Insane logic


  29. MapleStreet says:

    O’Reilley is still quite the humanitarian.

    And it seems I could take his words to justify killing all the Muslims I can – as he implies killing them is superior to winning their hearts and mind.

    So could someone explain why the Muslim world doesn’t trust us ?


  30. Fred says:

    Being in the military–never a picnic–must be somewhat like Hell today.

    Many of our troops are being forced to fight. Many are PTSD. Many others are right-wing religious fanatics, who apparently form a cadre within the armed forces. Morale is at rock bottom. Suicides are at an all-time high. Female troops are being assaulted in record numbers.

    On top of all this, they are fighting a illegal, unwinnable, an unjust wars, underequipped, violating the Geneva Conventions by the minute, in constant danger of bieng killed by the work of incompetent contractors, and watching mercs have all the fun for ten times the pay. This would drive anyone crazy.

  56. katy says:

    this morning on TODAY, there was much reporting on the emails and contact that hasan had with that “radical cleric” and others…

    not a word about his studies, research and practice of counseling muslim soldiers and the possible conflict they may be experiencing in this conflict… nothing about his power-point presentation to call attention to the problem… and that his contact with those religious leaders could have been a part of that research…

    just simple fear mongering…

    at least it seemed so to me, because i knew of all those facts after listening to randi rhodes lay it all out yesterday…
    links to homework and podcast there…

    it’s very easy to say it was a terrorist attack – that suits the frighty meme to blame obama…

    it also allows them to reject and neglect (further) the HUGE problems in the services of recruiting and self-policing…

    among others…

  83. Xisithrus says:

    Terrorism is the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion.[1] At present, there is no internationally agreed definition of terrorism.[2][3] Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for an ideological goal (as opposed to a lone attack), and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants.

    99, 101, 110, 118 & 128 is proven racist and lifelong coward Jeffy Bovine from the Olbermann-stalking website.


  119. Mathazar says:

    So, when a soldier killed six fellow soldiers in Iraq back in May, that wasn’t an act of terrorism, but since Nadal is Muslim, this is terrorism.

    Now I understand.

    Obviously the “trolls” have NOTHING to say of any value, and just “hit and run” with BS comments to get OTHERS TO WASTE THEIR TIME.

    Don’t bother.


  122. jim44 says:

    133/loser is the impostor.


  123. Buckie Boy says:

    128 & 133 are also the name jacker as$wipe.

    What did he actually say?


    That depends upon who you ask


  130. ncbrickhome says:

    Bush and Cheney will join their MASTER Satan and TRAITOR Ronnie Reagan soon…

    The WORLD will CELEBRATE!!

    Buckie Boy says:

    130 is also joe cantwell.

    Swing and a miss, but it’s notable that when I pointed out that you’re a proven racist and lifelong coward you let those statements go unchallenged.

    You’re a racist coward, Jeffy. You know it. I know it. The world knows it.

    Now go cry into your white sheet and hood.


  132. NinerFan says:

    Jim44: “I’m a lonely person. :(”

    Yeah, we know. You’re also an adolescent a-hole who, like a spoiled little brat, uses annoyance to get attention. Nice job, stupid.

    Ok, guys I’m logging out, so any more posts from me are the Name Jacker As$hat.

    Anyone who knocks joe cantwell is a troll and a name jacker. That’s obvious.

    Jeffy Bovine says:

    Strike 3. You’re out….;(

    You think the judge who was removed for refusing to marry an interracial couple had the right idea.

    You wanted to drown President Obama in the historic tradition of Klansmen drowning black men.

    You’re a racist piece of garbage, Jeffy. End of ball game.


  137. dbadass says:

    So, you don’t actually know?

    —-
    Did I claim to?


  138. Stukas over Disneyland says:

    joe cantwell got banned months ago and he still gets the trolls upset.

    Cool.

    Yikes. This might be the most incoherent thread i’ve seen in awhile.

    Namejacking, name calling, trolls arguing with themselves…

    So am I.


  151. DRxJ says:

    Oh jeebus frickin’ crisco!
    This was not a terrorist attack.
    It was a random act of violence, similar to the shooting in Orlando, and the murders in Oregon.
    By definition, terrorism is acts of mass murder to intimidate a society and draw attention to their causes.

    Care to explain what information Hasan left that was indicative of his cause, and how it would intimidate our society?
    Proof please, not projection and guessing.

    My gawd, what a bunch of bed wetting, piss soaked, ‘fraidy cat trolls we seem to harbor here.
    Recently, a member of my gym was murdered by a lunatic who followed her to her apartment to rob her when things went horribly wrong.
    Although I grieve for her and her family, am I going to stop attending my gym due to a senseless fear or TERROR?
    HELL NO!


  152. Buckie Boy says:

    Logged back in as Buckie because I see that the name Jacker has orangy now.

    I have been reporting him, hope they kick the idiot quick.


  153. realdeal says:

    I think that it is natural for a military person to be a little skeptical and uneasy towards Muslims in the military for a little while. The strength of the military is largely derived from the unconditonaly trust they have to have in one another when facing the type of life-threatening adversity that comes with war.

    Given the reports that this attack may have been religiously motivated, and that there is a Muslim sect that condones such behavior, being skeptical and cautious is probably a good thing, but acting out violently towards all Muslims is certainly unacceptable. I hope good judgement prevails.


  154. Jeff Bovine says:

    Feel like going to jail, 173 & 176?


  155. Hoodathunk says:

    TP had best do something about the namejacking. They are being hacked.


  156. Purple State says:

    um, buckie,

    why would they listen to you?

    didn’t you namejack to combat the namejacker?

    :/

    What’s the old saying?
    When the cat’s away, the mice will play.

    Seems our mucking foronic antagonizers are having a field day with little staff monitoring these threads.
    How very childish.
    Way to show honor and pride to our VETERANS!


  159. NinerFan says:

    Why is this moron named “orangy” here and why is anyone responding to his obtuse, moronic posts? If he had thing one to say, I’d understand, but really…


  160. wiley says:

    It’s another straw to break the back of our volunteer army. I’m hoping against hope that President Obama decides not to send thousands of more troops to Afghanistan. These multiple deployments to combat zones are ruinous. The lowered standards are taking their toll. Our military is sick, undisciplined, and a danger to itself. Two wars of dubious cause with an all volunteer army is just nuts.


  161. HF says:

    Olby sucks = jim44 = orangy = Mark Koldys

    This thread is proof


  162. mary lacewing says:

    Let’s do our own TP poll:

    Do you think that the Fort Hood shooting will push the trolls completely over the edge, prompt the repeat offenders to redouble their efforts to to derail every single thread and create so many handles that they end up arguing with themselves?


  163. Trollspotter says:

    orangy says:

    AAP

    Can’t stop talking about him, can you?

    Can you even remember a time in your life before him? You ran into him and he BROKE you into tiny little pieces. All your behavior since has been determined not by you but by him. He owns you. He rules you.

    I think it’s funny.


  164. Trollspotter says:

    orangy says:

    Link to source?

    You can’t stop talking about him.

    You can’t stop trolling.


  165. DRxJ says:

    (yawn)
    Boring.

    But hey, way to honor those VETERANS who sacrificed so much that you can be “free” to derail a very important thread.
    Your mom and dad (whoever it is) must sure be proud.


  166. Fred says:

    wow, the trolls figured out something and it’s like kids in toyland.

    Way to go trolls. We are so impressed with your childishness.


  167. Trollspotter says:

    orangy a.k.a. Pat Pomeroy, olby sucks, orange one, habib, Rebecca Lobo, K Street Whore, News Fox, etc. says:

    create so many handles that they end up arguing with themselves?

    Like you did? No.

    You’re a hypocrite and you’re weak and I think it’s funny.


  168. DRxJ says:

    By the way, voting me down without actually engaging me shows extreme cowardice.
    Way to respect those VETERANS, who chose to sacrifice, so you could hide behind a computer screen and avoid confrontations.

    Mucking foron!


  169. Trollspotter says:

    orangy says:

    No proof…

    No proof that you can’t stop trolling? You’re here every day, dude. You’re a slave to your addictions. Not brave enough to do anything in the real world so you troll blue blogs day after day in the hopes that that’ll make a difference.

    It’s cool though because you ARE making a difference and it’s a total backfire: you embarrass conservatives with every post you make!

    I laugh when I think that this is the opposition. I think we finally have them cornered.

    Pathetic is right. It’s funny because he clearly wants to try to lash out against anyone who isn’t the kind of racist, right-wing lunatic that he is but he’s just not bright enough to do any harm.

    It’s like watching a Klansman trip over his robes.


  175. Trollspotter says:

    orangy says:

    Your list of names would crash this site. That’s funny!

    Here’s the list:

    1. Trollspotter
    2. Trollspotting Tse Tse Fly (when we were doing the whole “insect” thing)

    That’s it.

    Did the site crash, dummy?


  176. Stukas over Disneyland says:

    orangy, joe cantwell is waiting outside in the parking lot for you.

    Be afraid.


  177. Trollspotter says:

    orangy says:

    No proof? Shocker!

    Awwww, did I hit a nerve, Jeffy?

    You’re here day after day, broken, trolling as hard as you can. It’s your life, dude. It’s your whole life.

    He BROKE you. It’s hilarious!


  178. Purple State says:

    Perhaps we should lock this thread up before things get out of hand. This is hitting many levels of confusion and unnecessary banter.

    Which is exactly what Olby Sucks was aiming for.


  179. Stukas over Disneyland says:

    Oh no, orangy, joe cantwell just put a virus on your cpu :(


  180. Trollspotter says:

    orangy says:

    Lie much?

    I haven’t lied to you, not even once. That’s the funny thing! You think I’m someone I’m not. All I do is tell the truth about you. All you do is lie…..and since you lie, you think everybody lies.

    It’s truly a laugh riot, Jeffy.

  182. Trollspotter says:

    orangy says:

    Wow, this olby sucks poster must have really broke you!

    Only if “broke” means “has you laughing your ass off at his total incompetence and cowardice!”

    Dude, seriously, the only thing you know how to break is wind.


  183. DRxJ says:

    Twajie, why do you hate our troops and our veterans?


  184. Stukas over Disneyland says:

    218, gps working? Are you sure?


  185. Purple State says:

    Weep for you? Yes.


  186. HF says:

    Fact.


  187. barfly says:

    Orangy?

    Sounds like he’s been eating too many carrots.

    Or perhaps a mineral deficiency.

    Maybe that’s why he’s acting so childishly. Don’t jump to conclusions. It might not be his fault, y’know.


  188. Stukas over Disneyland says:

    223, Turn it off, wait a few minutes, then turn it back on. Maybe that’ll work.


  189. HF says:

    Olby sucks/jim44/orangy/Mark Koldys, is having quite an emotional breakdown.

    Olby sucks/jim44/orangy/Mark Koldys, is equivalent to the flies that worship dog sh*t.


  193. HF says:

    Olby sucks = jim44 = orangy = Mark Koldys

    Exposed.


  194. Stukas over Disneyland says:

    658 pounds of heart attack inducing, diabetes giving, right wing fat.

    Maybe that’s why he’s acting so childishly. Don’t jump to conclusions. It might not be his fault, y’know.

    It’d be cool if that were the case, but “orangy” is most likely the troll’s uncreative ripoff of his previous “orange one” handle.

    It’s a Keith Olbermann reference, one of many, like when he named himself Rebecca Lobo because she was once Keith’s giiiiirlfriend.


  196. barfly says:

    orangy says:

    You got nothing, c*ntwell.

    That’s not what your mama said…

    Ohhh!!! [double rimshot]


  197. HF says:

    Olby sucks = jim44 = orangy = Mark Koldys = Obsessed with Olbermann

    How Sad.


  198. barfly says:

    C’mon O-man; I’m loving your straight-man softballs. More, please.


  199. DRxJ says:

    barfly says:

    orangy says:

    Well, I think that’s what she implied. It was hard to understand, being that her mouth was full.

    BOOYAAA!

    (Okay, this thread has gone to hell in a hand basket. And such an important thread it was.)


  200. HF says:

    Olby sucks = jim44 = orangy = Mark Koldys (aka Johnny Dollar) = Unemployed gimp

  204. cd says:

    The shooter did a damn good job of hurting the image of all Arab Americans and Muslim Americans.

    Even before 9/11 films and tv shows did what they could to ballance out the image of the murderous Middle Eastern Muslim with token Doctors, Engineers, servicemen etc. that were Arabs and often overtly Muslim.

    And now comes this jerk who was a Psychiatrist and a Major in the United States Army.

    In one horrible act of violence he may have ruined life in America for all Muslims.


  205. EugeneDebs says:

    orangy just kill yourself. The world will be a much better place as soon as you leave it.
