Fort Hood Update

The hatemonger's will have a field day with the shooter's name: Nidal Hasan. They'll be less enthused by the fact that "his record said that he had expressed no religious preference."

But, without wanting to write Limp-baugh's material for him, the stated lack of religious affiliation could play straight into the wingnut narrative. For them, Islam is a 'death cult' hell-bent on killing the infidel and anyone who is a Muslim is a terrorist or a sleeper. So what would be more fitting than a guy 'hiding' his true identity so he could infiltrate the army?

If any of this sick logic is expounded upon straight-faced by wingnuts in the next few days, it will be an epoch-making new low. But not exactly surprising.
